Wakamono

Favorite sushi restaurant in Chicago. Prompt service, incredible food (especially signature rolls), and not excessively expensive especially for a more upscale sushi restaurant. Waiters are incredibly nice and very quick with orders. 10/10 would recommend for anyone interested in a good sushi restaurant in the Lakeview area!

Great food and great service ! The atmosphere was amazing and perfect for a date night. The sushi and ramen were really good as well as our wine. Food came out pretty quickly and was quality. We made a reservation but on a friday night around 5, we probably didn’t need one it wasn’t super crowded. Would recommend making a reservation during popular dinner times on the weekend.

Been here a couple of times. Great food service and vibe. Vibe is more fancy than casual (but there is no dress code or something like that). I had here: Sake, Mango Mojito, Edamame, Scallion Pancakes, couple of roles, Chicken Teriyaki bowl, Yakisoba, Chicken Katsu Curry, pot stickers, some fish dish and more that I don't remember. All were good but the highlight for me was the Katsu and the Yakisoba. Highly recommend 👌

Absolutely delicious food but extremely slow service. It took over an hour for us to get our food once we ordered and the waitress completely forgot my tea. I think they ran out of an ingredient because everyone was waiting on food and then the staff was scrambling to serve everyone and trying to figure out which order was for which table. The house salad was fresh and delicious. The three headed gorilla roll was insane. I could taste every individual flavor, including the fresh crispy tempura. Usually the flavors all meld together in a roll. The wakamono roll was also savory. All the fish was buttery and fresh. Truly melted in your mouth. The matcha creme brulee they had one special was gigantic. It wasn't super sweet, which I appreciate. It was almost like a cheesecake though.
