"This place is from the same chef as Juno, and has 15 courses of delicious nigiri, sashimi, and small plates (like braised abalone with roasted gingko nut). Compared to the other omakase-only spots in the West Loop, Mako is one of the largest (it seats 22 people, with 12 at the bar and the rest at tables), and dinner here is long—about three hours. Plan on a very expensive and enjoyable experience. It’s also worth noting that they offer omakase to go if you prefer to have that experience on your couch." - john ringor, nick allen, adrian kane

"Another of BK Park’s Chicago omakase restaurants, mentioned alongside Juno Sushi as part of Park’s existing omakase portfolio and relevant experience for the new New York project." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Juno chef B.K. Park opened this sophisticated, minimalist dining space devoted to omakase in 2019. Housing just 22 seats, divided between tables and a 12-seat bar, Michelin-starred Mako serves up to 23 courses of nigiri and plated Japanese dishes." - Naomi Waxman
"Chef BK Park’s omakase restaurant, named after a species of shark, hasn’t missed a beat with its elegantly prepared courses made with the freshest ingredients. Michelin inspectors bestowed a star on Mako once again this year." - Ashok Selvam
