"Ima is already famous for its restorative udon soups, pho, and rice bowls. The Michigan Avenue izakaya is also low-key a legit spot to satisfy one’s sushi hand roll cravings. Join a group of friends and dig in on a handful of skewered veggies or meats and throw in a few hand rolls for good measure. The sprawling kitchen includes a cold prep station and the spot’s chef de cuisine Kiyo Miura has more than a decade of experience working in sushi establishments throughout the region. This gives Ima a chance to offer a number of delicious hand rolls, hamachi crudo, ahi tuna tartare, an exquisite poke bowl, and other raw delicacies. Each roll comes with sushi rice, scallion, pickled ginger, wasabi, and yuzu ponzu sauce and is available gluten-free upon request." - Serena Maria Daniels
