Yokocho Handroll & Omakase Bar

“An omakase and hand roll bar, down an alleyway? Sign me up! This spot is a hidden gem that brings the Japanese vibes of hidden streets loaded with small bars and eateries, right to the Fulton Market area of Chicago. We’re talking fresh fish being flown in from Japan, well crafted drinks and chef experiences that let you remove the thinking process to just sit back and enjoy. They also have a really good happy hour! The service is not only quick but great as well! Intimate, hip and relaxed all in one.”

“Excellent menu. Nice range of prices on handrolls so you can stay inexpensive or go really over the top. We tried a mix of both. Everything tasted great. The uni cheesecake was kind of an odd combination. It wasn't for me, but my wife loved it. The two best handrolls we had were the truffle hamachi and Hokkaido scallop. The wagyu crispy rice was also amazing. Looking forward to coming back.”

“Sat at the bar and had an amazing omakase dinner at Yokocho! Every course was fresh, thoughtful, and so well balanced from the nigiri to the handrolls to the strawberry matcha sando at the end. The chefs were so intentional, and the service made the whole experience feel special. Definitely a must-try if you love sushi or want an elevated night out in Fulton Market”

“Having been to Tokyo I’m ecstatic Chicago has its own Yokocho and the back alley vibes are perfect here. The nigiri was so good but those shrimp dumplings and the blue crab hand roll wow. The matcha sando was great too. Loved their drinks, especially the celery one. Get it all! Killer happy hour too from 5-7pm @chicagopescetarian”

“This casual handroll bar rolls up quick rolls and clean fish, especially at Happy Hour. Yokocho may be small on the inside, but has plenty of choices and traditional flavors. I’ve never seen a beer ordered, poured and brought to the table quicker than here, other than sitting at the bar of course. Their Wagyu handroll and spicy tuna rolls were fantastic. Their nigiri and sashimi are clean, delicate and fresh, although you could skip the shrimp dumplings. Come here for a quick bite or a full meal, your taste buds will surely be delighted. Some of their staff could polish up on their bedside manner, one hostess in particular.”
