"The sushi and drinks were very good, especially the pepperjack. Our waiter was great! The only surprise was the prices were comparable to one of favorite high end sushi restaurants in Chicago. A dinner for two with drinks came to Around $130. Should come down a bit on prices."

"My husband was hesitant if a sushi place would be better in Lemont than Orland Park or on the same level and just a longer dirve. He was surprised, satisfied and raved. Wonderful menu selections and it was difficult to decide what to try. Will be back."
