The Scene
There's a certain balance to sushi-meister Andy Park's (Starfish, Sushi Ai) spot near the corner of Milwaukee and Ashland. A sense of deliberate serenity wafts from the spacious foyer through the luxe lounge and industrial dining room with open kitchen. Sweet tea lights enhance ultra dim lighting, while gorgeous Thai silk drapes and an oceanic palette soften acid jazz sounds and stainless steel fixtures. The crowd is attractive, but most come to eat, not just for the scene.
The Food
An extensive menu tries to cover all the bases and mostly succeeds. Blue Point oysters are briny and delicious, served with spicy ponzu sauce. Cravings notwithstanding, the myriad maki could be bypassed in favor of entrees, which come with miso soup, gingery house salad and steamed rice. Chopstick-tender braised short ribs sing of sake and ginseng, while tender roast chicken pairs well with plum teriyaki sauce.
