Marty ErwinNovember 28, 2017I’m new to Japanese food and afraid of squid and other things that look like they moved. I loved this place. They were very understanding, the atmosphere was great, and they had chicken. :)- SHOYU TONKOTSU RAMEN (egg noodles in soy-infused pork broth, roasted pork belly, crispy shallots, crispy garlic, pickled mustard greens, chili oil, soft-cooked egg, spinach)
- SPICY CHICKEN RAMEN (egg noodles in soy-infused pork broth, chicken, crispy shallots, crispy garlic, chili oil, spicy red sauce, soft-cooked egg, spinach)
TheOutOfTownerDecember 23, 2019They do some modern sushi, but get the classics right too. Go to for sushi, haven’t tried anything else here but still satisfied. Also head to Jenis next door for dessert :D
Danielle @DanielleDuncanDecember 22, 2011The summer and green turtle roll are excellent, if you're anti sushi the beef wrapped asparagus (not sure of name) and chicken teriyaki are delish. Order the TY KU Soju instead of vodka... yum!- TEN ZARU SOBA chilled buckwheat noodles, soy-based dipping sauce, topped with shredded nori, served with a side of shrimp and vegetable tempura
- NY Strip (marinated & grilled . fried onion . mushroom sauce. rainbow fingerling potatoes), with an extra bowl of rice

Crain's Chicago BusinessJune 27, 2011Old Town's Wells St. Corridor stations Kamehachi, a comfortable setting for a quieter lunchbreak.

Molly EJanuary 28, 2015Shishito Peppers are great. Better atmosphere than most sushi spots. Not the best in the city but I go there often given its close.- Sashimi Dekai (chef’s presentation of 15-18 pieces of sashimi)
DKH CreativeApril 17, 2011We normally would advise you get something more exotic than teriyaki chicken - but the teriyaki chicken is just so good. So get it - along with oyster shooters, rolls, sake... in short: come hungry.
Fresh sushi & sashimi plus lots of creative maki & other items
- Asian Lamb Chops (ginger soy marinade . kabocha . farro)
- Dmytro ShvetsJune 21, 2013Spring rolls, tempura appetizer and green turtle roll are the best! With be back for sure!!
Mingle Around MatchmakerSeptember 27, 2012Great first date spot. It's quite enough for conversation, hip enough to impress and priced right.- SAKE FLIGHT: Chiyonosono (junmai) . Takatenjin (honjozo) . Crazy Milk (nigori)
Margaret Gemkow HefferonJuly 17, 2014Drunken snapper sake is very good. I always get the chirashi and agadashi tofu.
Ed JamisonJanuary 19, 2013Crouching tuna hidden crab is exceptional. Try the Tasmanian salmon special. Also great!
Best spicy edamame- but everything is great and fresh!!- Matt RobinsonJanuary 29, 2012I love the new location. The interior is so much nicer and I really appreciated the extra space between tables.
