"I came here for dinner one night while in Chicago. I was with a party of four and we decided to walk here from our hotel and enjoy the evening air. After quite a few twists and turns, staircases and a few elevators we arrived at the restaurant which is tucked away in a small alcove between buildings. I'm an explorer, so the roundabout way of getting there was right up my alley. Looking at the restaurant from the entrance it almost looked like it was closed at first. Upon walking in, there was a bar and some seating available in a small dining area. It seemed so empty and I wondered if it was closing soon, as it looked so neat and quiet with no staff to be seen other than one person behind the bar. I was in for another twist and turn as the person behind the bar greeted us and took us around a corner into a dining area that was packed with people and very vibrant. I caught a glimpse of the skyline through some windows across the dining room. Unfortunately, we were seated on the opposite end of the restaurant. We were brought complimentary tea, which was really good. Instead of a hard copy menu, we were brought a tablet to order off of a digital menu. It's an interesting concept but between multiple people trying to order off of one tablet, it felt a bit cumbersome. Unfortunately, the party I was with, was not in the mood for dim sum or a family style dinner, so we ordered separate plates. We did order some egg rolls for the table which came out quickly and tasted freshly made. I opted for the Beef Brisket with Eggplant and an Avocado Smoothie. The Avocado Smoothie had a good flavor and was not too thick or too runny. It wasn't overly sweet either. The Beef Brisket with Eggplant was also good. The brisket was tender and the eggplant was juicy. The sauce was thick and had a strong but good flavor. It was a large portion, so it was a challenge to finish by myself. After the main meal, we ordered some Baked Creamy Egg Yolk Buns, which were delicious. The service is very minimalist which is not an issue. The waitstaff did not come to the table very often unless called over. The food was good, service quick and the ambiance was vibrant and family friendly. When I'm in Chicago again I'll have to stop by again and sample their dim sum menu."

"I recently had an incredibly frustrating experience at Sushi Naper. Despite arriving with my family and friends (4 adults and an infant) at 6 P.M for an all-you-can-eat menu, it took an unreasonable amount of time to receive our food. The service was abysmal, and the waitstaff seemed indifferent to our needs.To make matters worse, it took a whole hour to receive only half of our order, leaving us starved and frustrated. We patiently waited for another 1.2 hours before the rest of our food finally arrived. The prolonged wait time and disorganized service were simply unacceptable.We were starving, but to wait another 1-1.2 h to get the food was too much, my infant was tired and cried so we decided to go somewhere else and get some takeout.When it came time to pay, I expressed my disappointment and dissatisfaction, explaining that I was still hungry and unsatisfied with both the service and the quality of the food. However, instead of addressing the issue professionally, I received a disrespectful response from the staff which was "EVERYONE IS WAITING 1 HOUR AND YOU ARE NOT A SPECIAL PERSON TO BE SERVED FASTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE” and was told “ OFF”??.I care about my money and how I spend it and based on the experience of the restaurant, my friends and family decided that paying full price for such a disappointing experience is criminal and I should have at least a 30% discount. I was discussing why I shouldn’t pay full price but the waiter decided to call the cops on us and tell the police that we didn 't want to pay WITCH IS NOT TRUE, I just felt like I was being robbed. Overall it was a disappointing night.I cannot emphasize how disappointed I am with my experience at Sushi Naper. The excruciating wait, which caused my infant to cry, and also me being coupled with the disrespectful attitude displayed by the staff, left a bitter taste in my mouth. I would strongly advise against dining at this establishment if you value your time, money, and overall dining experience.Save yourself the frustration and find a different restaurant that can provide both efficient service and quality food."
