My wife & I picked up sushi and pad Thai to-go. The pad Thai was so very flavorful with somewhat sweet noodles. The sushi order was large enough that we got a large container with a beautiful presentation. We loved all the rolls we had, including OMG, Don’t make me cry, and Godzilla. The prices were reasonable for Chicago, and we got a free shrimp roll included because the order was over $50. Although we didn’t dine in, the interior is intimate and cutesy with the Asian cat art all over the place. We recommend this place :)

We like Japanese and Thai food, since this place is new in the neighborhood, might as well try it. The food is really good, great service, and the place is cozy. You get more on what you pay for, the prices are just right for quality food. We will definitely visit this place often.

So happy to have found this place! Gem. They only opened 4 weeks ago and I know they'll be around for a long time. Everything was great. The gyoza, poke bowl, sushi and Thai iced tea were perfect. One of the best Thai iced teas and Tom Kar coconut soup I've ever had. The price/bill was so reasonable. We split it and it was $30 per person. It's is a very small space so I would recommend going on off times. We weny on Saturday at 5pm and it was comfortable. Sushi roll - Don't Make Me Cry Tuna Hawaiian Poke Bowl Tom Kar soup- so rich with full fat coconut milk it was incredible.

I dined at Neko Sushi and tried their tuna and avocado fried rolls, and they are the reason I’ve already been back three times in the past two weeks since finding this neighborhood gem. My fiancé ordered the shrimp in a blanket and they were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I had the ramen both times and it was absolutely delicious. My fiancé tried the pad thai with shrimp on one visit and the basil shrimp fried rice on another, and both dishes were full of flavor and so satisfying. Neko Sushi has quickly become one of our favorites. Everything we’ve tried has been consistently fresh and tasty. Oh and they are BYOB!

I recently ordered from this place for the first time because I wanted to try something new, and I’m thrilled! I was craving ramen, and this one definitely exceeded my expectations. It was rich, full of flavor, and perfectly spicy—just the way I like it. They were also very generous with the meat. Besides the ramen, I ordered takoyaki, and it was delicious! But let’s be honest—when is takoyaki not perfect? All in all, I’ll be ordering my ramen and takoyaki from here from now on. My local spot just doesn’t meet the criteria anymore.

This place just opened two weeks ago, and after driving by my friends and I decided to stop here for dinner. The prices were on par with other Asian fusion restaurants we frequent in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park or Bucktown, and the portions were WAY BETTER! The Thai Iced Tea in particular was so flavorful unlike the watered down versions you’ll find at some places. The dragon sushi roll and takoyaki tasted so fresh and delicious. The pad Thai and fried rice were great too, and we had plenty of leftovers. Service was fast and friendly. My friends and I will absolutely be coming back here again!
