About KOMO

KOMO is a Japanese restaurant located in downtown Chicago, offering a delightful culinary experience. The menu features a creative combination of high-quality ingredients, resulting in a complex mix of flavors and excellent presentation. Customers can enjoy a great combination of an excellent restaurant with a separate space for drinks and dancing if extending the night is an objective.

The Goma-ae, a bed of banana and sesame, is described as an elegant peanut sauce, while the Chawanmushi, an Asian pear sauce-infused custard with delicate sea urchin, is a must-try. The Lobster croquettes over steamed eggs and curry with shredded seaweed showcase the restaurant's ability to balance flavors, with the croquette being all lobster and the curry complementing the rich creaminess of the egg. The restaurant also offers a variety of other dishes, including the popular lobster soup, egg custard, and a special tuna course that melts in the mouth, as praised by recent diners.

The Miso black cod, with its delicate miso glaze and a hint of sweetness, is further enhanced by the rich, umami-packed mushrooms and sauces, creating an overall impressive dining experience. The aesthetic, with cherry blossoms and complimentary sake, adds to the ambiance. During special occasions like New Year’s Eve, the restaurant offers a fixed menu, which has received high praise for its delicious and beautifully presented dishes, including lobster and mushroom soup, tomato tartare, and black sesame dessert. While service can be slow during busy times, the overall experience remains highly recommended. The restaurant's upstairs lounge, with drinks and dancing, makes KOMO a popular destination for those seeking a high-quality Japanese dining experience in downtown Chicago.
