Ani - Chicago

This is a nice neighborhood spot for good food. There's nothing special about the food, but it's not overpriced. Good value. Very quiet. Nice dÃcor with high ceilings. There are two big tables that can hold groups of at least people, so we will be back.

I had the restaurant week dinner and I choose the BRUSSELS SPROUTS for the first course with togarashi, garlic chips, house soy, bonito. The TAKO YAKI octopus beignets for the second course with tonkatsu sauce, bonito, kizami. For the third course I had the EBI MANGO maki sushi roll with poached shrimp, avocado, kewpie mayo, mango, ohba leaf. The fourth course I choose the green tea matcha ice cream. Everything was superb! Sooooo delicious! I wanted two of everything. In fact, my only complaint is that everything was so good I wanted more.

Sushi was delicious and special pork bun was outstanding. Attentive and helpful service.

Went for New Years sushi wine and we were expecting to spend money for a memorable night between But for sharing the maki was tad overpriced we were expecting more for per roll which wasn't enough food for us. But it was still a really fun place!

I've been to Ani twice now and the consistency in the quality of the food and service is excellent. The fish is really fresh and there's a good selection of Nigiri/Sashimi as well as Maki. The Sake list is pretty good as well but the prices are a bit steep compared to other locations. The only issue we had wasn't related to the food but we asked the server for a wet cloth so someone could just wipe her hands and she said ok and never brought it. But one of the runners was kind enough to retrieve this on the first request. Restaurant was pretty empty but just something she couldn't seem to remember. Probably just a fluke situation Anyway, I would totally recommend Ani and do see myself going back again.
