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.
A Loop counter spot that’s built for fast, customizable Japanese comfort—poke bowls and ramen that fit a lunch-break timeline. It shines when you keep the order focused: one build-your-own bowl with a clean sauce strategy or one ramen bowl with a single add-on, rather than stacking extras that muddy the flavors.
Must-Try Dishes:
Spicy roasted garlic ramen, Build-your-own poke bowl, Gyoza
What makes it special: Build-your-own poke and ramen that stays fast and lunch-friendly downtown.
