Wakamono

A favorite for the fresh fish and sizzling scene. Don't miss Wang's, the tiny lounge next door where the bartenders garnish martinis with fresh slices of ginger and orchids plucked from vases. Read more

What we love even more than the hip setting, super fresh sashimi and inventive, colorful rolls is how damn affordable it is. Grab a ginger martini at super cool Wang's next door. [Eater 38 Member]

The sushi is definitely among the best in the city and the presentation makes it just as appetizing ! Don't get anything else though... Who serves grilled chicken wrapped in foil? Very homemade ...

Everything is fresh and delicious????

Speciality rolls are great and their smeared tuna in wasabi sauce was awesome! Flirting cocktails from Wang next door.

Yellowtail ceviche was out of this world. Would also recommend the Moby Dick signature roll.

Fantastic shrimp/prawn hibachi . Give it a shot, or another hibachi choice.

Great, fresh sushi ! They have a drink menu, but you can BYOB with an $8 corkage fee .

Get the Peter Parker roll. It's worth the try if you love sushi and especially soft shell crab .

Excellent sushi ! Try the grilled chicken if you got a picky eater.

Freshest sushi in Chicago, and grab a ginger or pear martini !

Mouthwatering apps - red snapper sashimi with truffle oil and steamed sea bass with black bean & ginger . You'll regret it if you skip these. Read more

The service tonight was absolutely amazing. I was worried based on previous tips but they were very amazing!

Excellent sushi / sashimi combo orders. Uni sashimi in a cucumber is delicious !

Everything here is good, but the Godzilla roll is to die for.

Jalapeño miso soup . Enjoy!

The Geisha and the Maki Mexicano Roll are really good!

Personally I found out that I really don't like Japanese food . Also, the prices are very high in this restaurant .

Mexicano roll is delicious.

Hands down, favorite sushi in Lakeview.

I was not impressed. These folks take themselves and their food a little too seriously. Relax and stop being so stuck up with the food.

Sushi and bento boxes

Best sushi I've had.

Lobster rolls are delicious

Get the ginger martini .

Wait staff not the friendliest, but sushi is unreal! Kani Chung or Godzilla are best!!

Byob is $8 a bottle!

Do NOT go here late. They practically kicked us out before the food even came. Plus it was ridiculously expensive . Not coming back which is unfortunate because I like the ambience.

Get the Maine Lobster roll !

Great vibe

Big fan of the Godzilla

Great sushi , but forgetful wait staff-get the peter parker :)

Didn't love the sushi , but the boiled chicken roll was fantastic

Mexican Maki is my favorite! The best sushi in the neighborhood ...

Love the Wasabi Noodles !

Try the Wakamono Roll, I mean they named the restaurant after it...delicious.

The salad roll is my new all-time favorite.

Great place! Try the Seven Sisters white wine blend

Loved the Kani Chung roll but our server was incredibly rude.

Little pricy , make sure you get the desert though: the lava cake rocks

Don't try to pilfer the animal sculptures . Some drunken fool did, and the entire waitstaff exited to char after him. No service for a full 20 min.

The jalapeno miso soup is perfect...spicy, salty, and delicious.

BEWARE: for a group of 4 or more, they add 20% tip, based on the grand total, instead of the subtotal. Also, they charge for every extra small sauce you ask for. AND they're rude when you bring it up!

Excellent - local neighborhood sushi

Tuna tartare !

Enjoy some sushi .... EXCELLENT Dragon Rolls ! Read more

Not at all impressed with the waitstaff . For a $6 per bottle corkage fee I would hope they'd be a little more respectful we requested wine .

godzilla roll . 'nuff said.

Try the Peter Parker Spider Roll ...

spicy tako roll
