The restaurant was out of the drink that I wanted, the salad and several kinds of sushi that we wanted on a Wednesday night. They were not even apologetic about it.

Overall rating:

This place was so expensive that we sat down, got some water, looked at the menu...laughed then walked out. 2 pieces of basic sushi for 7-9 dollars. Not rolls, PIECES.

Decor is minimalistic and staff are like robots. Glad I didn't stay for the bill.

Overall rating:

Food was good, fish very fresh. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by a waitress who seemed to have never waited on a table in her life, a manager who didn't know how to remedy the situation, and a kitchen out of 4 VERY common fish. I would not return.

Move over Japonais (nightclub?)and Mirai (used to be great), I found the best sushi spot in Chicago! Creative maki rolls and fresh fish and great creme brule, excellent in all respects. Great Service (Darlene)- you should definetely ask for her if you can. Will be back.

I just read in the paper about Bex as best bartender and Meiji as best Sushi spot in Chicago! Wow! They are right on about both!

Overall rating:

Incredible variety of sushi, and not a dud served. Fatty salmon and fatty hamachi were spectacular, but so are the prices. Very expensive for sushi -- a dollar more a piece in many cases than more low key spots. I would love to go again but will need more rich friends.

I went and had a great time at the bar. The bartender was so friendly i decided to eat dinner at the bar with friends.

By South Loop Tom from Chicago, IL, August 13, 2006

Overall rating:

I took my wife here for her 31st birthday and it was a great idea. The sushi was excellent and the service was 1st class. We were asked at least 3 times if everything was to our liking (and they were sincere about it). The atmosphere is upscale and trendy, but not obnoxious. I liked it a lot better than Japonais and it was cheaper too.

Overall rating:

you need a new manager to hire proper waitstaff. unpleasant. This place was once great but many of the faces i saw in the beginning are no longer there. That was a different time, a better time. Service is just as important as the food.
