Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A sleek, convenient sushi stop inside the Willis Tower flow that works for an “after work, no detour” date. Make it hand-roll-forward with a tight order, add a small nigiri set, and lean on the bar-style energy rather than expecting a quiet, linger-long omakase vibe.
Must-Try Dishes:
Nigiri Set (tuna, salmon, hamachi), Spicy Tuna maki, Crunchy Fatty Tuna hand roll
What makes it special: Hand roll bar and Toyosu-linked fish program inside Willis Tower’s Catalog.

Taste of Japan is a fast-casual Japanese counter in the Loop balancing affordable sushi, hand rolls, ramen, soba, and curry. Downtown regulars use it for build-your-own sushi orders and chef’s “trust me” boxes that travel well back to the office.
Must-Try Dishes:
Box Max chef’s sushi and sashimi set, Lightly Grilled Salmon Hand Roll with Yuzu Sauce, Lobster Japanese Curry Rice
What makes it special: Counter-service Japanese spot where sushi, ramen, and curry share equal billing at desk-lunch prices.
7.7
A pay-by-weight, grab-and-go sushi counter that’s ideal for a casual “lunch date” or quick pre-plan bite when time matters. The best move is to build a balanced box—two roll varieties plus a few nigiri/inari pieces—then treat it like a crisp, efficient stop, not a sit-down occasion.
Must-Try Dishes:
Assorted salmon and tuna nigiri pieces, Spicy tuna maki selections, Inari and gunkan pockets from the self-serve line
What makes it special: Self-serve, pay-by-weight sushi with over 30 labeled options and a focus on freshness.
