Known for West Loop’s Michelin-starred omakase Mako and Lincoln Park’s neighborhood sushi temple Juno, Chef BK Park announces his latest concept, Tamu. Imagined as a neighborhood restaurant with fellow sushi chef Joon Kim (previously Juno and Mako), Tamu (たむ meaning ‘multiple dreams’) is a Japanese restaurant that contains two concepts: an 11-seat sushi bar offering classic and signature temaki (hand rolls), alongside a central 10-seat table service area offering a ‘roll-it-yourself’ temaki selection, small plates and kaisendon (Japanese bowls consisting of rice and fish). The second concept is a 10-seat nigiri focused omakase that is served in the semi-private back room and was created to be a less-formal, shorter omakase experience.
“Very good sushi place, where to enjoy some fresh and delicious temaki. Everything is handrolled at the moment, and the tastes are really good and genuine. I appreciated a lot the rice/fish ratio, as rice is not too prominent allowing you to test several options without feeling overwhelmed. The tartare and uni (sea urchin) in particular are a must, very fresh and yummy.”
“We had a fantastic Valentine’s Day dinner at Tamu! We made a reservation at the hand roll bar and were seated promptly. My wife is gluten free and they told us that all their soy sauce is tamari, so almost all the rolls were safe for her to eat! We didn’t see anything about allergens on the website, so I would recommend they add it there too! We started with a Japanese rice lager and the tuna tartare with incredibly crispy rice chips. Then we tried many different hand rolls and enjoyed them all, especially the salmon skin. The service was decent, they were pretty busy for Valentine’s Day but our water glasses were kept full. Overall a fabulous meal, and we will definitely be back to try the omakase lunch or dinner.”
“BESTTT Omakase in town 🥹 came here for our Anniversary, and there was only me and bf at the Omakase table so felt like we're having a private chef 🤓 everything was so good!!! server was informative and personable! and the chef has a cool tattoo😜very calm and professional vibe👌🏻 for the price it was 100% worth it and we were sooo full after very high quality fish very cozy ambiance, good cocktails, yummy Japanese beer, 10/10✨ would recommend and def will be back!”
“This was our third time doing the lunch omakase here with Chef Max, and once again, it was amazing. He’s always so friendly and funny, which makes the whole experience even better. Apologies for the not-so-great photos I took this time — I’ll definitely try to take better ones of you next time, Chef 😂 Every single piece of sushi was FABULOUS. For the winter seasonal menu, we had buri, and it was honestly SO good. Just typing this makes me hungry again. We basically feasted on high-quality sushi within an hour, and it was absolutely worth it. We also tried the Joto Daiginjo sake and the YoHo “Umami” IPA — both were delicious, and I’ll definitely be ordering them again on our next visit. Every time we come here, we leave with a great experience. Highly recommended!”
“My recent dinner at this upscale Japanese establishment was nothing short of spectacular. It is rare to find a place that captures the true essence of high-end Japanese dining so perfectly, but they have succeeded brilliantly here. The absolute highlight was the impeccable quality of the raw fish. The sashimi was pristine—incredibly fresh, delicately sliced, and with that melt-in-your-mouth texture that signifies top-tier sourcing. The authentic flavors and masterful preparation were so convincing that for a moment, I felt completely transported back to a premier sushi counter in the heart of Tokyo. It was a nostalgic and deeply satisfying experience for the palate. The drink menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated, offering a fantastic array of options ranging from rare, seasonal sakes to excellent wines. Finding the perfect pairing for our meal was effortless thanks to the diverse selection. For anyone seeking a genuinely authentic, luxurious Japanese dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.”
