Akai Hana Restaurant — Restaurant in New Trier Township

Decent Japanese Place to Dine. I actually have been dining here for Japanese Cuisine but some of the quality had gone down a star.

Service was decent, but no one thanked us or said anything as we left. One of the servers was on her phone, avoiding eye contact. I miss seeing the other workers feeding us the best handrolls and chef's handcrafted sushi sets & maki rolls. They waved a big goodbye and told us to come again; they knew us personally because we had been regulars for a long time. My family and I can't come back here again after they served us a bit poorly. My aunt got a spicy tuna handroll, but they only stuffed it with a heavy load of rice and...
