CHICAGO, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- The "body sushi" at Chicago's Kizoku Sushi and Lounge features, not only fish, but also a semi-nude woman serving as a serving platter.

The restaurant began offering the $500 all-you-can-eat dinner special in its private lounge about two weeks ago, the Chicago Sun Times said.

Co-owner Eddy Pinto, who calls it "a little risque" but done in good taste, said the restaurant has logged 19 reservations since its first special last Sunday.

The woman, a belly dancer and friend of Pinto from Las Vegas who goes by the name Tabitha, wears a G-string, some cellophane, a few strategically placed seashells and little else. The sushi is placed atop bamboo leaves arranged on her thighs, stomach and chest area. None of the food touches her skin, Pinto said.

"It's like wearing a leaf bikini," Tabitha said
