Modern Japanese with sushi, robata, and Tokyo-style izakaya
"Though it’s one of the best sushi restaurants in Chicago, Boka Restaurant Group’s Momotaro is much more than just nigiri and sashimi. Gene Kato uses a robata to grill succulent pieces of chicken thighs, lamb chops, scallops, and duck breast. Of course, the sushi is also undeniably excellent and full of decadent bites like otoro and uni. Downstairs, the casual Izakaya serves dishes such as ramen, a bao burger, and tonkatsu. Whether you’re looking to have a nice date night or a low-key evening with friends, Momotaro fits the bill. Make a reservation on OpenTable." - Jeffy Mai
"This warehouse-style Japanese restaurant is huge and has an equally huge menu full of small plates and sushi. It’s a great spot for a group celebration, especially if you settle in and commit to trying as many dishes as you can. It makes for an expensive but very fun night.

"Momotaro is an upscale Japanese restaurant from the Boka team, with great sushi, small plates, and robata. And if you're looking for something a little more casual or want a nightcap without having to get too many steps in, make your way to their basement. That's where you'll find their izakaya—a 30-seat dimly lit bar with its own menu and dishes like sweet soy-glazed wings and a burger on a fluffy bao bun." - team infatuation
