This Michelin Bib Gourmand staple is nearing its 10-year anniversary, continuing to rack up fans near and far for the ways it’s been pioneering high-quality, high-caliber sushi in Chicago. Though a full menu is on offer, most decide to spring for the omakase, a 10-course tasting of some of the venue’s most prized items. Definitely nab as much nigiri as you’re able to, but don’t miss the Shooters (scallop, uni, or oysters served in ponzu sauce with a quail egg), or the Orange Rush (seared scallops wrapped in salmon and served in a citrus glaze).
How to book: Reserve via Yelp.
