Great sushi, the California rolls and the spicy salmon rolls are really good. Very fast service, I go for my thirty minute lunch break often

Vietnamese egg rolls have pork and mushroom and this sweet dipping sauce. I could live on these alone.

Good mix of Asian foods. Even the unadventurous eater will find something good here.

Try the Thai Chicken wings; they're some of the best in town! Don't forget to top off your order with California rolls.

Hands down the best place for vegetarian food in Chicago! Most of the dishes can be made with vegetables or tofu.

Good Asian food, but the nontraditional sushi rolls have too much spicy sauce (mayo and chili paste).

3 flavors in a smoothie! Strawberry, pineapple and coconut is like a tropical break from chiberia.

While they do have a variety of menu items, stick to the Asian-inspired dishes. We like the lemongrass beef.

Not coming back here again. Waiter decided it was her right to keep our change for tip even though it was over 15% and then refused to give us our change when we asked.
