"For an intimate meal in West Loop, Tamu provides a unique dining room with a feel different from B.K. Park’s (Juno, Mako) other restaurants. The main dining room is outfitted with a 10-seat counter where chefs serve tamaki (hand rolls). The eight-seat backroom is reserved for omakase during lunch and dinner, and abbreviated meals are available for customers in a rush. It’s not as fancy is Michelin-starred Mako, or as splashy as Juno was when it first opened in Lincoln Park. But Tamu complements those two restaurants in the sense it feels more approachable in an elegant space for diners who don’t want any fuss. — Ashok Selvam" - Naomi Waxman
