Save your money and avoid this place. The food as tasteless and the menu was unimpressive. The presentation was uninspired. There was nothing unique to justify the prices charged.

My theory is that there was some psycho tornado that must have transported this restaurant from some hip-happening Chicago corridor to this strip mall in the middle of nowhere. Seriously. It's that...

I'm not a sushi eater. I had the Chicken Teriyaki, and for appetizers we had a teriyaki sampler-I loved the shrimp and the chicken was good too. We also had tempura, which was pretty good. My wife had...

Yes, it is very good, and an oasis for sushi lovers stuck out in LITH. My only complaint is that it is so "hot" that the wait can be ridiculous and therefore some of the staff seems to suffer from...

We would give this a 3.5 if we were able - but we have to pick either 3 or 4 - we picked 3. The overall experience was very good but not exceptional. (Keep in mind we *rarely* give 5s - so a 3.5...
