"Popular spot for unique, high quality Japanese food in the West Loop, with several good vegetarian options. Ordered the tofu okonomiyaki, the veggie yakisoba and the sweet potato appetizer. Food was awesome, the okonomiyaki was delicious, and drinks were good. Nice selection of wines, sakis, and cocktails."

Okonomiyaki: Whatever you want, grilled. The 'whatever ' are things you 'll like.

Delicious!! Had the Octopus and Shrimp. Octopus was well cooked and tender, not over cooked and chewy which it tends to be at most restaurants. Thought it would be cooked in front of you given setup but wasn’t. Still, would go again.
