  Solid Korean owned Japanese sushi place. Good Korean style Japanese food. Sashimi didn't quite cut the mark, but manageable. Order the Korean dishes, really. Udon is also very excellent - in its illegitimate Korean form. They give you Korean style dessert and ice cream at the end of your meal and edemame as appetizer, though YMMV depending on whether you are Korean....
  
  Atmosphere can use some work, but does not take away from the sushi quality.

  Hubby and I stopped by for a weeknight dinner and there was only one other table occupied. I don't know why but we struggled to make a decision about what to eat. Our waitress patiently kept checking on us to see if we were ready to order.
  
  We started off with the agedashi tofu which we enjoyed. It was delightfully crispy and well seasoned. We also shared the spicy tuna roll, tuna crunch roll, sushi 21 roll (tuna, salmon, avocado, sesame seed, scallion), and shrimp tempura roll. The rolls were okay and were tiny. The sushi 21 roll was the best roll of the ones we tried but it really tasted like they used guacamole as an avocado substitute. We also split an udon which was average.
  
  The service was great! Our waitress came by to see how we were doing throughout our meal and my tea cup was never empty (I drink a lot of fluids).

  I ordered their lunch special, the three tuna rolls. I received a spoiled, white colored tuna roll. It is supposed to be red. I don't know how the hell they had the balls to serve this knowing damn well People know what fresh tuna is supposed to look like

  I just moved into the Niles area. Maybe I was spoiled with the sushi restaurants in my old location. Royal sushi on Foster and Harlem. Nami sushi on Lawrence. All within a mile radius of where I lived spoiled me. Sushi 21 is hands-down the WORST Japanese restaurant. The pot stickers or burnt to a crisp and taste like oil. The edamame cold and consists of maybe 15 to an order. The Dragon Roll look like something a child put together. Don't get me wrong I don't need it to look good but I definitely wanted to taste good and everything from this restaurant is far from that! Sorry Sushi 21 but you need to overhaul your entire kitchen. The only reason you're getting one star is because the lady on the phone was really nice.

  I really love with this food. Beef don, Agedashi Tofu and seaweed salad. Prices are cheap !!! I used to get sushi foods and today it was my first time I have  kitchen foods.  Its very tasty :) It tasted just like the family food I ate in Japan last year. To compare this store, it is like a small Japanese restaurant that only local people in Japan enjoy eating. The atmosphere is quiet, the food is qualitative and quantitative. It is very peaceful place for couples and singles to avoid from noisy resturant.
  
  The reason I wrote this review is some reviewers critizied this resturant so I coulnd't ingore that evry customer has different experiences I understand that. But I had nice times with this resturant. So I'm writing for those who might hesitate to go on a bad review.
