"This place is from the same chef as Juno, and has 15 courses of delicious nigiri, sashimi, and small plates (like braised abalone with roasted gingko nut). Compared to the other omakase-only spots in the West Loop, Mako is one of the largest (it seats 22 people, with 12 at the bar and the rest at tables), and dinner here is long—about three hours. Plan on a very expensive and enjoyable experience. It’s also worth noting that they offer omakase to go if you prefer to have that experience on your couch." - john ringor, nick allen, adrian kane
