rude service, error-prone staff, non-apologetic attitude.. I have never seen such rude restaurant staff in my life. When they realized no serving plates were on our table, they bluntly asked us, "where are your plates?", as if we hid them on purpose. Then they forgot a spider roll we ordered. When we reminded them, the sushi chef insisted that she made it and the waitress went back and forth to check with us three times as if we were the ones who made a mistake. While I acknowledge that it was a busy Friday night, it's extremely rude and insulting to have come back three times to ask if we had mis-spoken. No apologies were offered from the restaurant. When the spider roll did come, the waitress inserted it in front of my friend's face between his chest and his serving plate.

Decent sushi. The atmosphere is not bad. It is a small cozy restaurant. Best place for the winter. The restaurant is very decorative. The pricing is not too bad. I don't think the sushi is that fresh.

Cozy sushi in Andersonville. This place has great sushi for your buck, and it's dark, quiet, and cozy on a winter day. Byob, but luckily there's a great liquor store at Foster & Clark.

my favorite sushi restaurant. I love the sushi here - I'm pretty much with everyone else's reviews. Awesome food - if it's busy then it's not the greatest experience. I usually get a craving for sushi and go on a whim - if it's a weeknight I know I can get in with no problem and enjoy some awesome food.
