KOMO, a Japanese restaurant in downtown Chicago, offers 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 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 restaurant's aesthetic, with the cherry blossoms and complimentary sake, adds to the overall ambiance. While some customers felt the taste could be slightly better, the variety of options and the upstairs lounge make KOMO a recommended destination for those seeking a high-quality Japanese dining experience in downtown Chicago.
