Suggestions for Japanese Restaurant near West Town, Chicago

Xinnie • August 18, 2017Easily the best sushi place in Chicago. Flavor combination is unique yet pleasant. I love sitting by the kitchen bar so I get to watch food getting prepared. Reservation system is not the best though.

Colin L. • December 8, 2019Japanese style pancakes

Blake J. G. • April 21, 2016Truly the best ramen in Chicago. Get the Miso Bold and Spicy and don't look back.

Erika D. • February 29, 2016They always have good promotion going on. I usually get Kirin ichiban beer (cheap), white rice, and my favorites are beef tongue and Japanese pork sausages.

Shrey S. • August 31, 2019The sake bombs are absolutely delicious. They know how to pour the perfect amounts. Also an incredible selection of Japanese whiskey

Dana T. • December 4, 2014The Tokontsu Pork Ramen was out of this world! Perfectly fresh & firm noodles swimming in a rich creamy flavorful broth packed w/ umami essence...BEST I ever haaaaad! Huge portions (as expected) BYOB!

Brian G. • February 9, 2019Amazing bites 🍣 - can’t beat the Tuna Truffle - cocktail menu is pretty good as well with some good Japanese whiskeys on it 🥃

Nikki • February 16, 2010Great BYOB Sushi restaurant. Make sure to make a reservation as it is always crowded!

Fallon L. • June 21, 2021great fried chicken ramen

Kevin D. • January 8, 2022The sashimi here is outstanding. Everything we tried was truly phenomenal.

Giulia M. • September 22, 2021Considering the price you pay for Omakase, it was mediocre at best. Fish was cut way too thick and just brushed with soy sauce, that’s it. No other courses as promised on menu. Won’t be back.

Chase T. • February 16, 2017The best ramen I've had in Chicago. Go solo to avoid the wait. Half spice is great, if you're sensitive to spice get no spice and ask for the spice on the side.

Jasmine J. • May 28, 2019i had the spicy tonkatsu ramen with thick noodles and it was amazing!

Ryan B. • February 20, 2014I love this place. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. My favorite rolls are the Mexican and the Chicago fire roll. Service has always been spectacular also

Kevin D. • April 16, 2018Such inventive and delicious cocktails, it’s hard to pick just one! The tempura shrimp is also delicious to snack on!
