I feel bad giving this place 3 stars, but our food was very bad. We ordered a few different sushi rolls and it might be some of the worst sushi I've ever had. The rice was overseasoned, with some bites having a shocking amount of rice vinegar. The taste of rice vinegar lingered in my mouth long after we had finished eating. The rice was also overcooked, leading it to be mushy. My wife absolutely loves sushi and she was taking the rice off the rolls because she couldn't eat it. I'm giving it 3 stars because the service was great, and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that their other Japanese food is better, and maybe we got sushi on a bad day. That said, we definitely won't be back here for sushi.

Adorable BYOB authentic Japanese restaurant in Hyde Park. Very authentic oyakodon, katsudon, gyudon, etc in addition to the more traditional Americanized options, like various types of sushi and rice. It is small and intimate and perfect for a casual double date. We had a great time and thought everything was delicious!!

Kikuya is Hyde Park's hidden gem. Staff is so kind and reliable! To me this is one of the few spicy salmon maki places in Chicago that does NOTT just smother it with scallions. Their tempura is always great. Lastly the side salad has the most addictive salad dressing! Get it for takeout and walk to the point !
