Hang On Sushi, Sushi Hang On

The boyfriend's former housemate now works for some wild and crazy venture capitalist who is trying to get into art. Part of her job is going around to the major cities and hiring people to hawk her boss' projects. Yesterday was her day in Chicago. We met up with her at the Hilton on S. Michigan and had a pint in one of the two hotel bars. We then brown lined it to Hey Sushi and ate us some, you guessed it, sushi!
Above is the coconut shrimp appetizer the housemate/friend ordered. Below is the sushi I ordered. I didn't understand how large the one roll would be. Whoops. I ordered the special Wasabi roll-smoked salmon, cream cheese, something else in the middle with wasabi mayo then topped off with wasabi tobikko and dried mushrooms...a little salad in the middle. Also a rainbow roll, spicy white tuna roll and an order of wasabi tobikko.
Hey Sushi's space is wacky. It's a large space with high ceilings and low lighting. We had the option of sitting at a table or on couches. We opted for couches. The tables were rather low which made for a certain hunched over posture when it came to actually eating. Their Tuesday drink special was a caraffe of sake for $5.
Their menu is crazy extensive. Their more simple, basic rolls are reasonably priced but they also have these crazy monstrosities that can be up to $15.

I would go back and try some of the more basic stuff.

I am extremely jealous of your sushi paradise and, also, of the great horned owl sighting. Wow!
