Fodor's Review:

Sex and the City made SushiSamba a star in New York, and look-alike hotties make the Chicago version a scene. The trendy Brazilian-Japanese hot spot combines a nightclub vibe -- dramatic multilevel design, freely flowing cocktails, male servers in eye makeup -- with an inventive menu. All the usual sushi suspects are here, as well as offbeat sashimi choices, Brazilian-style marinated fish, and fusion rolls that don't always work. For best results sample the menu with an adventurous, party-hardy crowd on Wednesday when there's a band and samba dancers. An all-weather rooftop lounge, popular with the late-night crowd, serves cocktails (try the sparkling sake) and some sushi.
