Like 90 percent of the countless new sushi spots in the Windy, Sushi Samba offers less-than-fresh fish and terrible, loud music. Apparently, this formula works in New York which is where the CHAIN is headquatered and, with similar, yet superior, restaurants of the same bent (Sushi Wabi, Blue Fin to name two) all over, this place is not the needle, but a blade of hay in the stack. Also, the desserts are tiny and overpriced.
You want good sushi and none of the faux style, try Sushi Kooshi in Lake Forest. You like the so-called ambience, check out Sushi Wabi.
Pros: none
Cons: overpriced, poor fish, trendy chain
