The 18 Best Sushi Restaurants In Chicago
"Pilsen's Casa Madai may look like any other casual neighborhood sushi spot, but you won't find its Japanese-Mexican takes on nigiri anywhere else in Chicago. Spring for the $150 omakase at the chef’s counter, rather than sticking with a la carte rolls. You'll get 15 courses like hamachi with sautéed jalapeño and brown butter that dissolves in your mouth, or scallops topped with salsa macha hugged in a sheet of nori like a one-bite taco. And while toppings like yuzu-infused sweet miso often feel like costume jewelry at other places, they’re used with restraint here. It's a lot like the restaurant as a whole: low-key with a hint of fun." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
