Asahi Roll - Chicago

Great neighborhood place. Chef is amazing, and the sushi is fantastic.

Unfortunately unfriendly owners, 5 instead of 6 pieces per roll, ordered to go additionally got charged for extra $1.00 for placing myself to go order in person. Soy sauce wasn’t sealed and got spilled all over : served very reserved miso soup cup. Well , i am puzzled , I got an impression they don’t people to return. Thanks

Amazing food and amazing feel. The music was perfect for that Saturday mid day chill commuter feel. It's a local sushi place. By people from Chicago. The atmosphere is fun and chill. Immensely those hole in the wall type staple that just feels like it's always been here.The fish was good and got some tea soup and salad too. Sat in the corner bar watching the window enjoying just existing in a piece of art. Vibrant colors, warm feel and good vibes all around.

This restaurant is so cool! So firstly, it's a small mom and pops type of vibe and those are always cool to go to. The menu is pretty extensive too! Sushi rolls, combos, ramen, and appetizers. The chef makes the rolls right up front. We had sushi combo A and each ordered ramen. I had the spicy ramen with beef. The meats with the ramen are extra but this could be a great vegetarian option for people because the meat isn't defaulted included.The friendliness of the chef and our server was very welcoming. The cool thing is, the restaurant is BYOB. So I brought a bottle to drink with the homies. I even offered the chef some but he declined respectfully and joked around with us too. I joked and said I would come back to bring the chef more drinks. Can't wait to come back for sure!

I am giving 5 stars because the couple that owns the place is SO SWEET and kind, and their Korean food and Japanese noodles are great. The sushi is quite plain, a bit bland, and comes in small portions. I almost suspect that the owners are doing sushi to appeal to the college kids and try to compete with some of the sushi restaurants nearby. If they are reading these reviews, I hope they know their restaurant would be great WITHOUT the sushi! The Rogers Park roll is redeemed because of the delicious toppings that include beef bulgogi and the other specialty rolls might be great too, but they're pretty expensive. Try the items on the back of the menu!!! You will not regret it.
