Chicago’s first in a wave of hipster sushi bars draws a fashionable crowd to the West Loop market district for the fresh fish, industrial-chic atmosphere, and late-night DJ music (nightly). Hardwood floors, brick walls, and wood tables add to the setting. The clubby (noisy) scene is secondary to the seafood, and savvy sushi lovers know that reservations are a must.
