    Y'all ready for a blast from the past? Ok, then. Here goes.... Once upon a time I went out with this lawyer boy/man. He wasn't too adventurous with the whole "food" thing, but when I said I was fond of sushi...he offered to not only try it, but pick a place. Sweet offer, poor execution. Trekking all the way from the North Side to the frickin' Westin for sushi? Ugh. We have phenomenal (by Chicago standards) sushi right up in here....sigh. Sushi sigh. Anyway, a $25 cab ride later I got to enter the Westin Hotel downtown for an evening of lobby sushi. Yeah, like in the lobby, complete with a bar full of out of towners screaming at a plasma about 12 feet away.... So, anyway. My date goes all crazy like and orders...a California roll. Ok, points for trying. He ate one piece and then left it. He wasn't a fan. He watched in horror as I devoured unagi, tako (octopus) and a hamachi roll. They were all "ok." Nothing out of this world. The Kamehachi in Old Town is one of my favorites....eating it in a hotel lobby is just not quite the ambience I dig. Blah. Needless to say, it didn't' work out. :P Don't eat here if you live here, duh!

    This Kamehachi location in the lobby of the Westin is a poor imitation of the real deal Kamehachi on Wells. 1. The service was awful. One waiter was covering the entirety of the relatively large lobby location. 2. The fish did not taste (or look) as fresh as I would expect from Kamehachi. 3. After our sushi was served, we had to ask for plates, soy sauce, and napkins. 4. The menu prices seemed to be as much as 2X the cost of the Wells location.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find sushi on the room service menu so I headed down to the lounge to see what was available. The selection was poor (they get fish delivered from the restaurant by the same name nearby) and the side orders (tea, miso soup) were OK... Sushi is edible, but it's nothing I would write home about. It tasted more like sushi found in shopping mall food court. I chose this place because 1) I was too tired to get off the hotel property and 2) I was very hungry and wanted a healthy option. I would have given 2 stars just on the food, but I decided to give 3 since price is totally reasonable. I ordered 1 pc tamago, 1 pc maguro, 1 green tea, 1 miso soup, 1 salmon skin roll and 1 negi maguro roll ... and w/ 20% tip the total bill was $27. I would suggest it for hotel guests looking for convenience but if you are looking for a place to enjoy sushi then you are better off elsewhere. (Just saw Glen F's review. I completely agree with him. I guess nothing has changed since 1/2/2009.)

    Overall mediocre sushi "stand" inside the Westin lobby. The best part about this Kamehachi location is that if you're staying in the Westin and have a bit of a sushi craving but it happens to be the dead of winter or a freak thunderstorm, you can just head down the lobby for a roll or two. The Westin lobby bar is open with tables and you can pick a seat and also choose from the sushi menu, or sit at the sushi bar that's in the back corner. The ambiance is nice (being the Westin lobby and all), but other than that this is not the place to come for sushi. I stopped by during an evening stroll through River North for a quick bite. I took a bar table in the center with view of the tvs over the bar and ordered edamame, a spicy salmon roll, and a negihamachi roll. The food took forever, and I was sitting there for about 25 minutes before both the rolls and the edamame all came at the same time. The edamame was fine, and the spicy salmon roll wasn't bad. A little thick on rice but the salmon was decent. The negihamachi roll was not fresh yellowtail and definitely had a fishy aftertaste. As a Chicago resident, I doubt I will be back here again (even the other Kamehachi locations in the city are much better), but it's a nice perk to have in a hotel if you want to have a drink at the bar and crave sushi instead of the typical hotel lobby bar food menu options.

    I frequently stay at the Westin and quite honestly one of the only reasons I stay there is because they have a sushi restaurant in the hotel and I love sushi. Sometimes when you get home from work all you want to do is just grab a bite downstairs and go to your room. Perfect. Having said this, the lobby decor is just that...lobby. Its sterile and boring. That's really a fault of the hotel. W Hotel would have made it swankier. The spicy salmon deluxe is fantastic, the rest of the sushi is solid for a hotel sushi restaurant.

    After a long and fun day in the city we wanted a light dinner. We were staying across the street, so the location was convenient. We ordered some edamame to munch on and waited for the sushi. I ordered the salmon and tuna to start. Oy the rice was so dry and chewy! How did the sushi chef miss it? It seems like it was from an old batch or something. The fish was okay, but the rice was so horrible that it was hard to overlook. Also, the rice didn't seem to have any rice vinegar. I might give this place another shot in a pinch, but I'd rather try some other spots.

    Sushi is of very low quality. Some of the fish tasted a few days old. I've had better sushi from grocery stores.

    I stay at the Westin fairly often and finally ate at the sushi bar. First, I'm impressed that a hotel has a sushi bar and especially has it on the room service menu. (I ate at the bar.) The prices are surprisingly low. Certainly not outrageous as you might expect from a hotel. But the real point of eating is to enjoy some food, and I did not. I ordered Hamachi sashimi and some roll or other. I *love* Hamachi. Even when it's not good, I like it better that other nigiri/sashimi cuts. But this was just odd. It didn't have the amazing Hamachi taste that amazes me. Parts of it had a shall-we-say strange texture. It was a nicely large portion, but a good-size portion of yuck does not a value make. The roll was fine, better than the sashimi, but c'mon... rolls are easy to make taste good. My server was attentive, but she seemed to have a tiff with the chef, or at least some difficulty convincing him to make what she needed, and as this was playing out all of 2 feet in front of me, it -- like the fish -- added an odd texture to the evening. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.

    The setting was a bit odd, an overly spacious, too well lit lobby. It could use a bit of a separation from the general lobby and some dimmer lights leading to a more cozy atmosphere. They probably should have put an express after the well liked Kamehachi name given its good reputation. The sushi is pretty good though and they're aren't all that many options in the area for the genre so I'll be back even though the tab was fairly high for the small number maki ordered. Conference goers with name tags would occasionally ask the sushi chef if all they serve is sushi and then when pointed to Ember (the more full service hotel restaurant) walk spritely off to their steak and potato ways.

    Sometimes I think I am getting a deal because the prices are the same as Old Town Kamehachi but the atmosphere is more upscale. But generally I prefer the original location. I definitely agree with other reviewers that it's sort of cold and too open. 5 stars to the bathrooms with full length primping mirrors. They also have private room/booths that you can reserve for extra $ that look really fun.

    It was good but not great. The menu is limited compared to the other locations.

    Decent sushi, but the original Kamehachi in Old Town serves better one. Service here was mediocre which was unexpected from a fancy hotel.

    Good sushi, but not so good service. My glass of wine was empty for quite some time before I was offered another. Any of their tempura rolls are delicious, as is the spicy tuna.

    This restaurant is a little hard to find because it's literally located in the lobby of the Westin. We were a little put off that it wasn't more intimate or divided from the lobby. They would do well to put up some divider--even just a visual one so you're not staring at people checking in at the front desk. We decided to go in anyway considering the sushi chef is legit Japanese. The quality of the food was pretty good; the fish we got was fresh (I am confused by the other reviews saying the fish wasn't great, I've had way worse in this city!), and the prices weren't too bad. I'd recommend the Kamehachi roll (8 pcs, rather small) and the Summer roll (spicy, unique flavors that pair well together). We went for an early dinner (around 5 pm on Sunday) and the place was entirely empty. In spite of this, our server took about 10 minutes to come back and ring up the check. Overall, though, she wasn't too intrusive or annoying, and we were only there for a quick meal so I can understand why she would think we needed more time.
