Unfortunately, it wasn’t rave reviews that brought us to Hikari (though it should have been). Once we decided we wanted to check out the Northern Liberties area and that we were hungry for sushi, Hikari was our only choice. Luckily for us, there were plenty of seats(we were even able to get a table outside on such a gorgeous night), and our waitress promptly greeted us and took care of our bottle of wine. The menu was pretty standard, although quite extensive including a section of Korean entrees and a long list of specialty rolls. We decided to go with the Polar Bear Maki(salmon & avocado topped w/ white tuna), Palm Spring Maki(tuna, salmon, mango wrapped in cucumber), and a Spicy Yellowtail Maki. When the rolls came out they were not only beautiful but plentiful – and they certainly tasted as good as they looked! So good, in fact, that we ordered a second plate of the Polar Bear & Spicy Yellowtail (left of photo). This place has already beat out some of our Chicago favorites so needless to say, we’ll be making the drive back to Hikari for the mouth-watering Miso and scrumptious sushi, not to mention the wonderful hospitality.
