Great night out but not a cheap one. Worth nearly every penny as the portion sizes weren’t too amazing. So we ordered more, delicious food and the sake we ordered was brilliant. Will be back for celebrations and events.

Loved located in the Fulton market area, they have vegan option and really nice wines by the glass. The atmosphere is amazing and the stuff is really helpful. I'm a vegan and the waiter managed to make sure that I had more than enough to eat and was able to accommodate my diet.

Went here for anniversary dinner. Food is great, we enjoyed it very much. Definitelt try the soft shell crab and the fried rice. Although the tables are a little bit to close to other people. It is very loud. All in all, it was a good experience.

Ever wanted to eat a dessert that looks like a beautiful Japanese rock garden? Momotaro is a gorgeous restaurant with excellent Japanese food that doesn’t limit itself just to sushi. I tried the curry spaghetti, momomaki (tuna+octopus), tsukune dango (chicken dumplings), and strawberry neri goma. All of them were great, especially the spaghetti and strawberry neri goma. The space is also beautifully wooden and contemporary. Highly recommend checking the place out!

We've come here multiple times. When we came recently, the menu was new. We had high hopes for the food, because it's always been good. The creativity in selecting novel ingredients and the quality of food were both on point. However, for some reason the seasoning was way too salty in almost every dish that unfortunately drowned out the flavor of the ingredients. We will still return but hoping that the seasoning can improve.

Delicious meal with great service!
Google rating of $$ is not exactly accurate as it is very easy to spend $100+ a person here, but it is worth the cost.
Great service that was attentive without being overbearing.
I would highly recommend the live prawn in tofu cream, tako su, mapo tofu, and smokey lamb chop.
All sashimi cuts were fantastic, fresh, and high quality!
Dessert was also a perfect balance of sweet, cream, umami, banana, coffee, and crunch in the miso banoffee.
Perfect venue for date night or just to treat your palate!

We reserved a table at the Izakaya downstairs for dinner through OpenTable. Great atmosphere and we loved how our waitress asked us if we had any allergies right away. We ordered some spirit-free cocktails, the Satsumaimo fries, miso soup, and the Jewel Bako which was beautiful and fresh.

Food was great! Some small plates a tad bit on the pricier side for what they are but nothing crazy. Meal portions were more than enough. Everything was unique and delicious.

Came here for a romantic dinner with my partner. Dressed up fancy for a nice place with excellent food that we kept getting recommendations for.
We had some octopus (best I've ever had), and maybe 3-4 more items off of the menu, but the octopus blew my mind.

This sushi restaurant is absolutely amazing! They offer excellent sushi and tasty tapas style plates. We enjoyed our sushi’s there from the first bite to the last. The sushi’s are tasty, fresh and delicious. The drinks are good as well. We sat at the sushi bar and Chris, the sushi chef was very friendly and professional. He made us excellent recommendations, shared his personal favourites with us and made sure we enjoyed the delicious sushi’s and plates this restaurant has to offer. The decor and the vibe are both awesome. The service was also impeccable! Overall, I recommend this restaurant to every sushi lover in town and I will gladly come back to try out more delicious items on their menu!
***edit*** we also tried the izakaya Downstairs and the food and ambiance were amazing!

The service was great! The food and drinks were even better than I expected. My favorites were the shiso soba and the white lotus cocktail. I could probably eat the shiso soba every day. We were seated upstairs, which felt like a quieter atmosphere. Overall, this is a place I will definitely return to and hopefully soon.

My friends and I did family style and we ended up spending around $70 each but that includes four appetizers, sake, dessert and sashimi. This place is pricey but you taste the quality and complexity of the food. The servers were really helpful with recommending a sake to pair with the food we were eating and they frequently checked in on our table.
My recommendations are the steak skewers, the tuna sashimi, and the Miso Blondie for dessert. This restaurant is one of my favorites in Chicago, highly recommend going.

Wow what an amazing night! Perfect service, great atmosphere, and just an absolutely delicious meal from start to end. Everything we had was so good one of the best dining experiences in Chicago. Make sure you end with the chocolate dessert!

Celebrated our friend’s birthday at this location.
It was nice place and warm vibe.
The foods tasted good and I loved the sushi but the portion of it was small.
We ordered Monk’s Journey and it was delicious.
The Mishima skirt steak was really good too.
We had fun and enjoyed our time.
