I visited Sushi Samba while traveling to Chicago on business. Coming from NYC, this restaurant definitely has a Manhattan feel: trendy "fusion" menu, modern decor and a strong personality. I had a great time. My server was both attentive and knowledgeable, there was live music, the restaurant had a fun atmosphere, and the food was unique (in a good way). I was seated right away and the food arrived quickly as well (although this was on a Wednesday night). It seems like a great place to go with a group of friends or for a fun date. I will definitely try out Sushi Samba again.
Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Unique food
Cons: Moderately expensive
