The 25 Best Restaurants In Chicago
"Kyoten was our highest-rated sushi restaurant until it was dethroned by Kyoten Next Door, its younger sibling. This 10-seat sushi omakase takes everything that's great about the original and does it better in a more casual setting and for less money. It's still expensive ($169 for 18 courses) but dinner at this Logan Square spot involves phenomenal nigiri made with high-quality fish, heavily seasoned large-grained rice, and a piece of blowtorched wagyu that puts your favorite steakhouse to shame. Kyoten Next Door is where to go for a reminder that Chicago does sushi as well as New York or LA. Reservations are the only way to snag a seat (walk-ins aren’t allowed) and they’re available 20 days in advance. You might have some luck dining solo on a Tuesday, but otherwise, set up some Resy Notifies and be ready the instant your phone lights up." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
