    The food was good, environment was very noisy. If you pay with a credit card the fun begins... They ask for your ID to make copy of it, and they put all that confidential info on receipt as well! so everyone could access it! The place is so cramped that you can easily reach the neighboring tables with your arms. The owner is also very scary! While you are eating she will come and fix with mean expression your fork and the plate. She never smiles either. Another weird thing... they put 20% tip automatically to your bill so you have no choise in deciding how much the servers deserve. They expect the downtown Chicago price for the location in the middle of nowhere.

    No contest: Sai cafe was the first sushi restaurant I tried in Chicago several years ago. Since then I've tried many other sushi places but none compare to Sai Cafe. I'm not wasting my time or money anywhere else from now on...
