GEIDŌ

"This Prospect Heights Japanese spot has been around since the ’80s, and it seems like not much has changed since then. You can get a big bowl of udon for $7, one of the walls is covered in decades worth of scribbles and paint, and the sushi chefs look like they’ve been bobbing their heads to R&B slow jams while compiling spicy tuna rolls since the dawn of time. There’s never much of a wait, and it’s always packed, so take a seat at the triangular sushi bar, and enjoy the D’Angelo." - neha talreja

"This neighborhood staple in Prospect Heights is always bopping, but you never have to wait too long for a table. You’ll have fun reading all the colorful graffiti scribbled on the walls while R&B slow jams play over the speakers. One of our go-tos for impromptu group dinners, Geido serves a solid rotating sushi menu, lots of classic izakaya dishes, and plenty of beer and sake. Most of the menu is under $15, so this place is a great choice if everyone you’re going out with is budget-conscious." - team infatuation

"This neighborhood Japanese spot has been around since the ’80s, and it seems like not much has changed since then. You can get a big bowl of udon for $6, one of the walls is covered in decades worth of scribbles and paint, and the sushi chefs look like they’ve been bobbing their heads to R&B slow jams while compiling spicy tuna rolls since the dawn of time. There’s never much of a wait, and it’s always packed, so take a seat at the triangular sushi bar, and enjoy the D’Angelo." - Arden Shore
