The Scene
Lofty, modern and minimalist, this upscale Asian eatery stands out on casual Southport Avenue. Blond wood tables and lightly finished floors give a spare but comfortable feel. Wire-wrapped lamps hanging above the sushi bar add a whimsical touch; French windows open the place up to the street. Chill at the bar or in the sake lounge while waiting for a table.
The Food
Rise is a welcome addition to a neighborhood starved for Japanese cuisine. Kick-start your meal with a tangy oyster shooter with quail egg or a plateful of addictive edamame (fresh soybeans)--it'll buy you some time while you check out your sushi options. Rise offers an abundance of rolls, plus 27 types of nigiri and sashimi. Favorites include supple, mellow namasake (fresh salmon) and smoky-sweet unagi (freshwater eel). As for non-sushi items, beef with asparagus is colorful and flavorful.

I placed a catering order, they got it wrong, then wouldn't give me a credit. The attitude of the manager was ridiculous. I will never go there again. The good isn't good enough to put up with terrible service.

I went here a few weeks ago and the flaming maki rolls were amazing! All the sushi were amazing and so delicious! I will defiantly come back soon! One of the best sushi in the area!

I used to love this place but the last 2 times were horrible. Last night I ordered the Chirashi and the sashimi was served on piping hot rice. EWW. The service was not good either. With all the great sushi places in the area I won't be heading to Rise for a 3rd bad experience!
