"Omakase Yume in the West Loop is fantastic (and on this list), but committing to a $225 omakase dinner is, well, a commitment. Luckily, Tengoku Aburiya (their sister restaurant next door) is more casual with similarly great sushi. Individual orders of nigiri, sashimi, and maki are all reasonably priced, and their chef-curated combination platters are perfect if decision-making isn’t a personal strength. Their spacious dining room has plenty of tables, a sleek combination of wooden accents, rock walls, and some cozy soft lighting. It can get packed, but the atmosphere is generally relaxed, and has a sushi bar that's great for dining solo." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
