Notable Picks
#1
Class Act
8.9
This Bucktown tasting-menu restaurant seats guests at a single communal table for a three-hour progression that moves through multiple rooms and ends in the attached speakeasy, Nightcap. Chef Nicolai Mlodinow’s menu changes by theme—currently an “Evolution” journey through food history—pairing avant-garde technique with a dinner-party atmosphere.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bouquet (zucchini flower with parmesan mousse and honey), Blackened Seafood Course from the chef’s childhood-inspired menu, Dim Sum–Inspired Bite from the “Growing Up” or “Evolution” progression
What makes it special: A scripted, theme-driven tasting menu that feels like an interactive dinner party with a speakeasy finale.
#2
Kyōten
8.8
Kyōten is Chef Otto Phan’s ultra-small omakase counter, serving meticulously sourced, largely wild Japanese fish in a tightly choreographed tasting that runs well past two hours. The experience leans more like a high-end performance than a casual sushi night, with precise nigiri, thoughtful sake pairings, and pricing that firmly marks it as a special-occasion destination.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chef’s Omakase Nigiri, Wagyu Nigiri, Lobster Tempura
What makes it special: An eight-seat omakase counter where world-class fish is treated with obsessive, Edomae-level care.
#3
Daisies
8.6
Daisies is a Michelin-recognized Midwestern-Italian restaurant where house-made pastas and vegetable-forward plates lead, with the kitchen able to accommodate gluten-free needs on many dishes. The newer, larger Logan Square space adds daytime coffee and pastries while keeping dinner firmly in special-occasion territory.
Must-Try Dishes:
Carrot bolognese tagliatelle, Strawberry panna cotta, Warm rhubarb crostata
What makes it special: Michelin Bib Gourmand pasta spot where seasonal produce, careful technique, and a willingness to accommodate gluten-free guests make it a neighborhood benchmark.
#4
Omakase Box
8.4
Omakase Box is a neighborhood omakase and handroll bar in Logan Square offering a focused 15-course counter experience alongside a more casual à la carte menu. Pricing is far below Chicago’s luxury counters, and recent coverage calls out its balance of serious fish sourcing with a relaxed, BYOB-friendly room.
Must-Try Dishes:
Whitefish tartare with shallot and caviar, Hiramasa with housemade lemon kosho, Soy-marinated king salmon nigiri
What makes it special: A comparatively affordable, 15-course omakase that still obsesses over fish quality and pacing.
8.2
Nomonomo Sushi is a Logan Square izakaya-style sushi bar from the Ramen Wasabi team, pairing a 12-piece omakase counter with a lively dining room serving maki, small plates, and cocktails. It reads more neighborhood-casual than temple-of-sushi, but multiple guides now call out its omakase as one of the better value-driven tastings in the city.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chef’s Nigiri Omakase, Foie Gras Tuna Sushi, Kani Hotate Roll
What makes it special: A chef-run sushi room where omakase-style nigiri and richer cuts stay central.
