Every time I leave this place I look forward to coming back.
Fabulous sushi rolls & nigiri! The shishito pepper appetizer was amazing! Great ramen dishes! And the service was exceptional! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This being a 4.5 brings shame upon any of my fellow Chicagoans or outsiders that deign it to be anything other than the obvious 5* restaurant that it is. The Moby Dick roll genuinely may be the best sushi I've ever had and the pickled veggie appetizer was a delicious mix of new textures and flavors.
The service is excellent and the music and ambience are inviting.

Wakamono, located in the city, provides a memorable dining experience combining modern elegance with traditional charm. The menu features carefully prepared sushi rolls and hot dishes, where each bite offers a harmony of flavors. Notable dishes include butter mochi, agedashi tofu, calamari, and the popular green turtle sushi. Guests can enjoy a selection of sake and attentive service, with some recommending the lobster rolls and special negi noodles if available. The interior design, music levels, lighting, and place settings create an amazing ambience, although some outdoor tables are fairly small. The restaurant also offers fun sushi rolls, cocktails—though on the sweet side—and green tea ice cream options for a delightful meal. While dishes like butter mochi and butter fried rice with shrimp are praised for their flavor, others, such as chicken yakisoba, received mixed reviews. The staff is very friendly, and guests appreciate the excellent service, even during busy times. Overall, Wakamono is a great choice for enjoying good vibes, small plates, drinks, and sushi in a stylish setting.
