Yep, you will notice the dingy looking strip mall but as others have said you have nothing to fear! The first time I dined here I was suspicious of the low/romantic lighting. Why don't they want me to see my food? Being from Chicago I have seen it all. (snicker) The staff is always exceptional and polite which is SUCH a treat and the presentation just makes you feel like you are dining somewhere special. The food...well...you will wish you lived next door. Actually maybe not, that might be pure torture to smell what would waft out of that kitchen if you were stuck with leftover meatloaf? I don't eat sushi because just cannot get my head around raw fish after having once fully experienced bad shrimp. If I ever decide to then this will be the place! Hmmm...I am calling in a reservation tonight.! more

Ok. This small restaurant hidden in a mall is the real deal. Pros: Sashimis and rolls that melts in your mouth. Cons: Keeps me coming back for more!!!!! more

Thefood was above and beyond our expectations!! The waitstaff was friendly, the hostess was kind of a B!! The specialty rolls are amazing and the dessert was out of control good!! Make reservations and ask for a both, they have no waiting area for customers. Pros: Delicious food Cons: wouldnt give us a booth and had one open the entire time we ate. more

Hey, ok so here is a little about me. I just moved to Lake in the Hills from Los Angeles a few months ago. Now let's just admit it up front....LA has some damn good sushi! I mean we live ON the water right!?!? We moved here and lived in Champaign Illinois for three months before picking LITH's to buy at. After living in Champaign I thought Illinois was going to be the end of my sushi eating. It was so disgusting I s pit out my sushi several times. Pros: Fresh sushi in this neck of the woods! Great decor and nice staff Cons: I like two other places better. But not a real CON more

The sushi was phenomenal. The fish was so fresh. My sister and I ordered yellowtail and scallion roll and took a taste and were both floored by the texture, flavor, and freshness of this fish. It was outstanding. The decor was pleasant, if dark. It's a little pricy, but well worth it. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Pros: Excellent food Cons: service is a bit slow more
