"Oak Street’s revival continued with the debut of this modern Japanese restaurant from Jacqueline Blanchard, the founder of upscale culinary shop Coutelier. Blanchard’s ode to a traditional izakaya, Sukeban is a sleek shop that serves a succinct menu of sashimi specials, rotating handrolls, and a handful of traditional Izakaya sides, like Japanese potato salad and ohitashi (spinach, dashi, and bonito flakes), in addition to robust beer and sake offerings. Don’t expect a typically vast sushi menu here — it’s small, succinct, and excellent, and the price point is a bit higher than others." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
