The Scene
Evanston denizens of all stripes--young, old, sweatshirt-clad and high-heeled--meet at this modern downtown spot. Long, wooden benches and leather chairs belly up to dark wooden tables, while a red-lit sushi and cocktail bar occupy the rear wall. Service--and water pours--can be slow.

The Food
Inventive appetizers, as well as numerous crunchy, tempura-based rolls dominate the menu. Asparagus rolled with thinly sliced filet mignon is a hit as a starter, as is a delicate, pear-topped citrus spring roll, which mixes spicy tuna, lettuce, crab meat and cucumber. Seared scallops with spicy mayonnaise are a miss with their tough texture. Signature rolls such as the King Kong--shrimp tempura, asparagus, avocado and cream cheese--are both creamy and crispy, while seared spicy tuna crowns a flavorful Scorpion roll with soft-shell crab and cucumber. Well-portioned entrees such as salmon teriyaki, filet mignon and seared tuna are also available.
