Omakase Yume in Chicago offers one of the best and most unique omakase experiences in the US, with a chef from Busan, Korea incorporating Korean ingredients like kimchi purée and sesame oil into the dishes. The restaurant provides a friendly and light atmosphere, with excellent service and a great wine selection. The chawanmushi is a standout dish, and every item served is flavorful and fresh. The space is comfortable and intimate, making it a fantastic choice for a memorable dining experience.
The rice is well-seasoned and warm, and the omakase includes a variety of fresh and expertly prepared sushi, such as firefly squid, fluke with kimchi purée, red snapper, tuna, golden eye snapper, yellowjack, amberjack, smoked salmon, sweet shrimp, scallop, sea urchin, and grilled miso-marinated black cod. Customers can also add on special items like sayori, aori ika, ikura, uni, wagyu, foie gras, or the golden kaluga caviar, as well as sake or wine pairings.
The chef is described as kind and razor-focused on his craft, and the staff are friendly. The limited seating of 6 per session at 5 PM, 7 PM, and 9 PM requires reservations, which fill up quickly, making it a special occasion-type of place.
