My dining experience at this restaurant was fantastic. Initially, we drove by without noticing it, but quickly turned back and were welcomed warmly by the staff upon arrival. The menu had a wide variety of options, making it difficult for us to choose, but the hostess provided helpful recommendations and explained each dish. When our food arrived, we were impressed by the presentation and the delicious taste. From the miso soup to the specialty rolls, beef box, and dessert, every dish exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again the next time we are in town. 10/10 stars!

The restaurant recently changed its name, but don't be fooled by its appearance from the outside. While it may look like a cheap sushi joint in a strip mall, the food is actually top-quality. Despite being a bit expensive for its decor, the sushi is excellent with a modern twist and high-quality ingredients that would impress even in a high-end restaurant in Hamamatsu. The portion sizes are a bit small for the price, but overall, it's a reliable choice for a delicious meal. Highly recommended.

I have visited numerous sushi restaurants in Chicago and across the country, but this one stands out as one of the best I have ever been to! The restaurant may be small, but it exudes a romantic atmosphere. The food is top-notch, with exceptional sauces and nigiri/rolls that rival any other sushi spot in terms of taste, quality, and presentation. Overall, this hidden gem is truly an excellent sushi restaurant.

The sushi was good. I enjioyed the various unique rolls they had. I've been having nightmares about the miso soup though. They give you this thin cup, but a standard size Asian soup spoon. It doesn't fit and you spend so much effort to get the tiniest bit of soup. I couldn't even drink the whole thing because i was so upset about the design decisions that went into this. Overall, would recommend. Book a table now

Insanity. INSANITY!! I'm a huge fan of sushi and I've been to MANY sushi locations. Oba will be very difficult to beat because of the quality range of selections and the beautiful ambiance. The prices are a bit above average but the dishes are worth every penny! This is a destination restaurant for special occasions. You wouldn't tell by the exterior. Don't let that full you

We often visit this restaurant for lunch. The drinks are great, especially the sake selection. The sushi is delicious, but my favorite is the Chicken Bento Box because it comes with a generous portion of food. I enjoy the salad and ice cream that they serve. The restaurant is clean and charming, although it is small and used to be very crowded before Covid.

Fast service. Very good sushi. The ice cream is delicious. The spicy sushi combo with soup and salad is very filling. The tempura with udon was a highlight. The rolls did not even need soy sauce. Everything was very filling.
