AJI

The Best Sushi Omakase Restaurants In Chicago, Ranked By Price - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Aji in Lakeview falls on the chiller end of the omakase spectrum and is a perfect casual sushi experience that also scratches the fancy-sushi itch. Dua Lipa songs serenade customers at the laid-back 10-seat counter. A fun, colorful display listing each course’s ingredients changes between bites. And as they drop off nigiri during the 15-course meal, chefs might chat you up about R&B throwbacks. If you’re too distracted by the tasty fish to respond, that’s understandable—both their simpler bites and more complex ones, like itoyori with honey pearls, can do that." - john ringor, nick allen, adrian kane
