Midōsuji
An intimate 8-seat omakase where Japanese ingredients meet French technique at a chef’s counter.
Notable Picks
#1
Midōsuji
8.8
An eight-seat omakase tucked inside the Chicago Athletic Association, built around a chef’s-counter progression that blends Japanese ingredients with French technique. Expect a tightly paced, reservation-driven experience where composed hot and cold courses (plus rotating hand rolls) matter more than à la carte variety.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chickpea chawanmushi, Rock shrimp tempura, Rotating hand rolls
What Makes it Special: An intimate 8-seat omakase where Japanese ingredients meet French technique at a chef’s counter.
#2
Miru
8.7
A St. Regis rooftop Japanese dining room that leans into polished nigiri, shareable hot plates, and a view-forward, celebration-ready pace. It works best as a structured progression: a few signature nigiri pieces, one crispy rice or raw plate, then a single warm centerpiece to finish.
Must-Try Dishes:
A5 Wagyu Nigiri, Chutoro Gunkan, Wild Mushroom Sizzling Rice
What Makes it Special: Signature nigiri and shareable plates in a skyline-view rooftop setting.
#3
Ocean Prime
8.6
A high-volume, reservation-driven surf-and-turf room where the steakhouse side is most reliable when you keep the order classic: broiled steaks, one rich side, and a clean starter. It reads more modern-lounge than old-school clubby, making it a strong downtown choice for polished nights out and client dinners.
Must-Try Dishes:
Filet mignon, Chilean sea bass, Black truffle mac & cheese
What Makes it Special: Modern surf-and-turf polish with a consistent steakhouse backbone.
