   The chef is very humorous and seriously with his cooking. Definitely a great choice for anyone who loves seafood. The sake is good as well. They have detailed intro for every dishes and alcohol

   Daniel was very patient and understanding with our situation, he really set the tone when we first stepped inside. Our sushi master chefs were very sweet and engaging along with the entire atmosphere. The food was amazing and plated in a craftful way to bring out the artistic vision. Loved the food and it was a great experience!

   The stark contrast of entering the Omakase room from Sushi-San is part of the magic! The waiting lounge is so gorgeous and calm. Wait staff was all so lovely, well educated and warm. We enjoyed every bite of the tasting menu. Would definitely recommend.

   Perfect for a special occasion. Top notch experience for sushi lovers and foodies. Recommend the cocktail pairing- we did the wine and the non alcoholic and both were totally unique and interesting. We also tried some Japanese whiskeys that were incredible. Next time I’d love to do the sake. Pro tip- ask for recommendations - Daniel Bennett is amazing, as is the rest of the staff.

   Truly one of the best meals of our lives. Until now, I had been hesitant to splurge on omakase in Chicago. You have a restaurant purpose built for the show, and the dedication and creativity to make it happen. The intimacy of only ten diners, all enjoying the same thing at the same time, was very unique. The space is inviting, the staff extremely attentive and knowledgeable. And of 17 courses, we loved 16. That’s a pretty amazing hit rate. We also liked all the paired sake, and wish we knew more about Japanese whisky with such an amazing list of hundreds of bottles. We especially enjoyed the tuna tartare with osetria caviar, the bonito, Chutoro, all three sashimi fish, and of course the waygu. Chef Kaze explains it all including how to best eat it, and steps back to allow diners to enjoy each bite.

    My Fiance and I have been to a handful of Omakase's in the city, and had high hopes for The Omakase Room, but unfortunately it fell short on everything but the service. Start with the good: It is a beautiful space, the servers are incredibly attentive and are really there to make sure your experience is flawless - and they do. The bad: This is not a traditional Omakase in any sense of the word. They lean so far into trying to make the menu "special" that they serve many dishes along the way that make no sense at all and mask the fish. A bowl of sushi rice with an eggplant sauce and shaved truffle? A melon that they spend forever telling you about how special and expensive it is only for it to be hard and flavorless? The first dish served - a cup of warm egg custard, uni, and roe was one of the most disgusting textures I have ever experienced. The price? For two people, two drinks each, we spent $750. Absurd - go to Kyoten Next Door and save yourself $100/seat and have a true Omakase of nigiri simply prepared that really let the fish shine. The Omakase room is overpriced and under delivers. If you are going to spend the money for an Omakase experience in Chicago, there are at least 5 other places I would recommend you go before wasting your money here.
