Konbini & Kanpai Wrigleyville

My friend and I visited for their restaurant week offerings, and everything was delicious—especially the miso salmon. We both agreed it was the best salmon we've ever had! (Fingers crossed it makes its way onto the regular menu) Also, the sake flight pairings were a thoughtful touch, allowing us to explore flavors we wouldn’t typically choose. We were particularly loved the Uji green tea umeshu. Overall, a great experienced and looking forward to going back!

Came for the World Sake Day tasting which was a great value for the price. Had some really good offerings and some unusual ones as well. The staff and sake reps were all super nice, friendly, and well-informed. The food was overall ok. The crab rangoon dip was good although a few chips seemed kind of stale because they were so hard. The karaage was moist on the inside but we weren't fond of the batter as it was reminiscent of something from Harold's chicken shack. The tonkatsu sando was delicious and perfectly executed. The egg salad sando, however, left much to be desired. The jammy egg was probably 30secs too well done, the bread was stale, and not enough mayo, salt, or pepper used. Seeing as how they have Konbini in their name, it would be great if they offered instant noodles as a dine-in option as well for a snack.

This was my first time eating here and it did not disappoint. The bartender gave me the best sake suggestions. He was really knowledgeable. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner. They exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend !!

Love this place! Have been visiting their other location in Lakeview since they opened and couldn’t wait to try the new spot and the food. Can’t recommend enough, especially for the patio which has a cool view of the red line going by (if you’re a train nerd).

This is my favorite place in Wrigley. Cute back patio with a view of the red line. Great selection of beer, sake, and non-alcoholic Asian drinks. The fried chicken is delicious.

The food is absolutely amazing and the drinks are delicious. I know very little knowledge about sake and asked lots of questions. The staff is very friendly and helped me find something I would enjoy. Definitely will come back again!

Great atmosphere, creative menu, good small bites. Killer sake selection. Good beer menu. Really enjoyed the sandwiches and bibimbap. Back patio is lovely.

Big fan of the original and really big fan of this one. The food is INCREDIBLE, the staff is super friendly and still have a great imported alcohol selection. Really love the space too, definitely don’t pass on this place.

Really amazing food! As a vegetarian sometimes I struggle to find a variety of good options in the area. However, there were a lot of great options here and everything I had was phenomenal! My favorite was the tofu BAO. Definitely will be coming back here often!

Was really excited to check out this establishment and see what they had to offer. Would love to return and actually try the sake they have to offer. A ton of alcohol selection, food made to order and minimal snacks. They have seating inside and a really nice covered and heated patio in the back. Such a fun vibe and it would be cool to grab drinks here before going out! I ordered a can of regular green tea that said $2.25 on the fridge, but for some reason they charged $3.60 when I paid for it? I asked why and it was something about drinking my non alcoholic beverage outside on their patio would be an additional charge? Way too overpriced for a can of regular green tea so I did not like that and unsure why I paid that much extra? Also ordered the chicken teriyaki. The chicken was flavorful and juicy. I loved the oshinko pickles that paired with it. The rice was not great and didn't taste freshly made. The miso pickles weren't what I was expecting, but were refreshing. I saw tables next to me eat the bao buns and Sando's which looked promising. This is in a great lively location. I'd love to come back and try their drinks before heading out!

Love the original Belmont shop so was excited to try the Wrigley location. Upon entering I was surprised that this location has way less packaged Asian snacks but then there's an actual kitchen serving freshly made snacks... I ordered the egg sando which comes with potato chips. The sandwich filling was creamy and decadent with a hint of white pepper. The bread was a bit of a letdown. It was too thin and didn't work well with the rich filling. I think I'll stick with the original location brimming with Asian snacks in addition to the plethora of beverages.

Konbini and Kanpai's Wrigleyville location is now open, and it's excellent! Located in the former Dark Horse space at 3443 N Sheffield (between Newport and Cornelia) they could not be more different than the predecessor as they are a sake and wine bar with a small-ish food menu of Japanese bar bites, bowls and sandwiches. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was awesome and guided us through the menu and their sakes, which was awesome since I am not normally a sake person. While we sat at the bar, they also have a great patio out back. They also sell beer, ciders, wine and a few snacks to go. Check 'em out!

Cozy place. Service was great. Food came out fast. Food was yummy! Will come back soon.

Went to a whiskey tasting with friends and have been in to pick up soju and sake. The staff here are so knowledgeable and friendly. They have snacks here too that you can sit down and eat while you drink. Dog friendly, kid friendly. Can't speak more highly of this place.

Ahh! This used to be Dark Horse Tap and Grill, remember that! This is from the people that's behind the original on Belmont, and I haven't been to that one. I had the Cold Miso Cucumbers. The staff and service is wonderful. PS. They open daily at 11 am. The exact hours are T.B.A. until the Grand Opening, which can be any day.

Of course it has a great selection of sake, but all the food was fantastic. The katsu sando was perfect and the pork belly bao were melt in your mouth. Back patio is not heated, but it is covered and very cute.

Fantastic food and even better people! Beer and Sake selection is awesome too. Kanpai!!
