NOT Sushi  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I was so extremely disappointed in this restaurant. Everything is California roll style. There is no true sushi served here. What is the deal with California rolls lately? I was paid a high price and was told it was sushi, but when it came out, it was a plate full of California "sushi" rolls. Sushi is a piece of fish on top of a piece or wasabi laden rice. This place is a total rip-off. AVOID!!!

Not worth it.  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

There are several other sushi places in the Oak Park area that put this place to shame.
The raw fish is not fresh and delicious. I don't know how this place stays in business, they cannot compete with Sushi House right down the street or Fuji Grill in Forest Park, which are both excellent beyond words (although I stay away from Sushi House because they are way too expensive!)
I made a pact never to order from Sagano again after last week. The raw fish tasted 'tinny' and not so fresh. I have ordered from Sagano many times and have never been really impressed, but at least now there are other options in the area.

Superb Sushi  4 Star Rating - Very good

This is one of the two superb sushi restaurants in Oak Park (Sushi House being the other). The rolls here are quite good though not as inventive as some of the upper-echelon sushi restaurants in Chicago. They are pricey, but understandably. The fish is very fresh, the servers are knowledgeable and attentive (Sushi House's service is not as good) and the non-fish options are also wonderful. They have a sake selection that is not too extensive, but more than most small sushi houses. They also have tables outside on the sidewalk in the summer which makes for a fresh, light, airy dinner!
