If you haven’t swung by the new @neta_sushi (35 S. Prospect Ave in Park Ridge) yet, we’d definitely recommend a visit. Love what they’ve done with the interior, and the sushi was fantastic. Favorite dish for the family was probably the Angry Crab maki, consisting of soft shell crab, avocado, cucumber and spicy snow crab and topped with red tobiko
