Still a decent choice if you have cash to burnWe ordered about five rolls of suishi. Water never showed up! We told them we had a comedy show to catch in an hour right next door but girl never came with check and we had to ask another waitress for our check and to pay. This was a Sunday night from 8:00 - 9:00pm. I was amazed at the unique dining experience this place offers. Good food and service was above average too. Great sushi, grilled meats and vegetarian options.

Service was very attentive, friendly and warm. Recommend to sit at the sushi counter to watch the chefs creating the dishes right in front of you.All kinds of sushi, fish and stick dishes. Big variety of dishes with Foie Gras and Truffle - Amazing - Great service Wife and I were going to a show at the Comedy Store and this was just a couple of doors down. We were certainly pleased with our choice. They were quite careful and accommodating to alter dishes to make them gluten free which I always appreciate as someone with celiac. I've never had crab legs cooked on charcoal (robata) but... If your a sushi lover, your coming to the right place. They have a signature roll, the warm crab roll...to die for...Make sure you have a reservation on the weekend, it's a bustling crowd. You might catch a celebrity there. Atmosphere is chic, lights are always dim. They have outdoor sitting with lamps. The women dress stylish. If you like to throw your money away on chicken on a stick then please do so.

The rice was not good at all and their ginger on my salad was horrible. I could not wait to leave there and go back to the hotel to get room service.

We feel the cosmopolitan nature of Chicago will get us what we want.”

Katana will be competing with the likes of Boka Restaurant Group's hot Momotaro, which features robata and sushi bars. Maen said the company will hire local contractors, architects and a general manager, hoping this will help the California restaurant adapt to its new Midwest home. “We really feel it's important to embrace the local neighborhood,” he said. “Tourists will come and go, but we're more about the locals and the local feel. We're taking what we do best and bringing it to this market.” Chefs from Katana's parent company, Innovative Dining Group, will work alongside local cooks and sushi chefs from around the country, Maen said.After it opens the Chicago restaurant, Innovative Dining Group plans to open a third location in Dubai, where the group also operates an outpost of its famed BOA Steakhouse.
