Hands down, this was most incredible dining experience I've had the pleasure of tasting in my life. My husband was able to reserve a table for us same day, and while we waited to be seated in the sushi bar at the back, we were served a couple of delicious cocktails. Once seated, the real magic began!
I have never tasted such unique creations before. Each bite was exquisite, each fish's unique flavors complimented but not overwhelmed by the incredibly fresh ingredients atop each piece, expertly crafted and delightfully arranged. Omakase can be a bit of an intimidating experience, especially if you are not sure what you are getting. It can be an experiment in trust. I can say that after the first bite of sushi, the tartare, I wholeheartedly trusted whatever Chef Marcos wanted to put on my plate!
The sushi chefs were so talented and so friendly, answering all our questions about the food and more. I felt I got to know Chef Marcos in particular, who was both skilled, well traveled, and wicked fun to talk to. He even delighted me by speaking a bit of Vietnamese, which I found impressive and charming in equal amounts.
I cannot say enough about how mind-blowing this dining experience was. If I am ever back in Chicago, you can bet I will be back again to enjoy what new creations Chef Marcos has in store for the season.
Dietary restrictions: It is also of note that my husband has a shellfish allergy, and all chefs were incredibly careful in accommodating my husband's allergy, subbing out ingredients so that he wouldn't miss out on anything. I found their care and attention to detail to his allergy be very impressive, and I'm sure anyone with any dietary restrictions will find them equally accommodating. Just let them know when you make the reservation.

Staff and chef was super attentive! Chef walked us through bite by bite, the flavors went really well together, and the experience didn't feel rushed. Thanks for making my best friend's birthday so special!

Oh. My. Word. My husband and I have been to several omakase dining experiences around the world and in the city so we were both expecting something generic. This is emphatically not that. I cannot express how outstanding this restaurant is. The chefs are world class and the flavors are so uniquely crafted. The way they dress sushi is out of this world and even certain fish I am typically not a fan of (uni) became my favorite bite.
Well done to the chefs at sushi bar. This place is deserving of every star and more. Bravo! Cannot wait to come back.

The food, service, and atmosphere was amazing. This has been one of the best omakase experiences I have had! Marcos (our sushi chef) was attentive, interacting with everyone, and made everyonefeel welcome and at home. He even let us have a bit of fresh wasabi so that we could sample it before it was incorporated into a dish. If you are on the fence about this restaurant, get off the fence, and book that reservation as this restaurant is well worth it!

Went there to make reservations for my 40th birthday. We were in our day clothes and obviously not dressed for dinner yet but the hostess who greeted us rudely implied we were too poor to afford their prices.
We went to Ocean Prime and had an amazing dinner experience there instead.

I wish I could give 6 stars out because this place is AMAZING. The chefs are incredibly nice and walk you through each bite. They were both super personable and were willing to answer all of our questions. All of the fish (and wagu!) were so so fresh and had out of this world flavors. My only regret is not savoring each bite a little bit more! My husband had a nut allergy, which we told them about beforehand and they were very accommodating. We also don't drink alcohol so during the bartender made us a mocktail! Outstanding service and outstanding food from beginning to end.
Omakase 17 course experience. Expert preparation and description with seating for 12! Just wow!

The most amazing dining experience! The chefs were so engaging, hilarious, and made delicious food! We had a small but mighty group during our reservation time but everyone working at the restaurant made us feel comfortable and welcome and like old friends. Now, the food!?!? Some of the most amazing bites I have ever had in my life. Was the perfect setting to celebrate our anniversary! If we lived in town, we'd go back any chance we could!

Second omakase experience I've had and compared to the first place, I feel the chefs could have been more engaging. There's 3 chefs and you didn't really get to know anyone. The dessert was one of my favorites. They do accolade certain things you won't eat, ie bone marrow. Wine list is short. It's interesting how this is placed inside of another restaurant.

Amazing experience! Celebrated wife’s 40th, loved the intimate setting, cocktails, sake and beer was great, truly enjoyed the non traditional approach to their menu, the bites were incredible. All 3 chefs had applied their creativity in creating each course and it was fun.I’d go back again when I recover from paying for this meal ?
Good food, good service.
