“Had an incredible first omakase experience with Chef Otto. Every course felt thoughtful, fresh, and was perfectly balanced. You can really tell he cares about the quality of the fish and the overall experience. The pacing was great, and he took time to explain each piece, which made it feel more personal and elevated. I can see why it is the top omakase experiences in Chicago. If you’re looking for a high-quality omakase or a true sushi experience, I highly recommend sitting at the counter with Chef Otto.”

“The rice definitely stands out (one of the best rice you get) in this place and the fishes are very fresh. Some of the initial preparations were very well executed also. However there was no uncommon fish or anything extraordinary to make this place special, justifying the high price. Though for first timers, this place will provide authentic Omakase Sushi experience.”

“I’ve been to so many omakase spots in Chicago, and this is by far the best. Otto, our chef, was amazing—so talented and so sweet. We loved everything and will definitely be back.”

“We had the pleasure to enjoy the private dining experience last week. Everything was absolute perfection. We’ve tried many Omakase restaurants in different cities and this was better than anything we’ve ever tried. Hard to believe this is in Chicago! Service was great and chatting with the chef was unpretentious, interesting and very fun. We would definitely recommend the wine pairing ($100 per person). The wines and sake were well chosen and complimented the menu very well. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. I would always return if I had the chance. Plus - which restaurants makes you some sushi to go to enjoy for breakfast the next morning? :-)”

“This is my second time dining here. Chef Phan has taken what was already the best omakase in Chicago and elevated it to one of the best omakase experiences anywhere. So many interesting and unique courses and unexpected flavors ... this is multiple michelin star worthy dining. The new menu is pricey, but your group will have the entire restaurant to itself for the evening, and the value in the ingredients and execution is absolutely there. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
