The Best Restaurants In The West Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation
"You’ll find this Japanese handroll spot hiding in Perilla Fare’s basement, complete with a glowing bar surrounded by mirrors and an electronic playlist that could fuel a Zara shopping spree. They’re booked out for weeks, but it’s worth calling to try and grab a last-minute reservation for their nori-wrapped fatty tuna, baked scallop, or wagyu topped with uni that’s a fantastic surf and turf butter bomb. Noriko only has 20 seats, so it’s perfect for a date night or solo dinner with a side of toro. Reservations are bookable up to three months in advance, though most spots are already taken. But you might find success by calling Noriko to see if they can squeeze you in last minute today or in the next few days—this usually comes with the caveat of eating at 5pm and a one-hour time limit." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru, sam faye
