Omakase Box

The quality of the fish here is exceptional, especially given the price, and everything was absolutely delicious! Our chef Alex and the entire staff were super attentive and ensured we had everything we needed throughout. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food! I’ll be dreaming about this for days to come. Ingredients were fresh. Service was good too. Can’t wait to come back

The restaurant is currently BYO with a $20 bottle/$3 can fee. We enjoyed the A La Kase, which features 10 nigiri and a mini don buri. Presentation and flavor combinations were traditional, however we found balance to be inconsistent; some of the pieces with spice tended to overpower the fish with too much heat while the fattier cuts may have needed a little more soy or garnish to brighten the flavor. (Perhaps this is personal preference.) The handrolls had the perfect amount of rice to fish to seaweed ratio. Service is attentive. I expect the flow will only improve as they finesse some kinks. Solid overall experience.

Amazing Omakase! Everything was fresh and the flavors were crisp. Such an affordable dine out treat!

My partner and I went to Omakase Box yesterday evening and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The omakase was phenomenal (easily some of the best sushi I’ve ever had) and everyone was so warm and friendly. The way they describe themselves on their website (“elevated sushi, approachable vibes”) is exactly the experience you get, in the best possible way. It legitimately blows my mind that such a high quality 15-course omakase is only $98. I’ve had similar experiences of equal or even lesser quality for twice the price. Needless to say, this was the first of many visits to come! 😊

We did the 15 course omakase and it was complete perfection! Such a great deal at $98 per person. Every bite was delicious, fish is soooo fresh. Will be back soon to try their a la carte menu!

One of the best in the city! The hand rolls are a complete game changer and the flavors they’ve managed to develop is out of this world. Incredible staff, vibes are 100% on point, and service is top notch. They really mean it when they say approachable. Excellent quality for an excellent price. Thank you!! Make sure you get the Tuna Crisps and the Negi Toro hand roll if you’re sitting a la carte!

Best omakase I’ve had so far in Chicago.

First review here!?!? Happy to set the tone then. My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate her birthday. They're BYOB until they get their liquor license and have a $20/bottle and $3/can corkage fee at the time of writing. If you're looking for your run of the mill maki or sushi roll experience, this place isn't for you, because they don't have them. They do have handrolls (taco style) and the ones we tried were amazing. The atmosphere is very modern with a touch of dark decor and elegance. The sushi bar is immediately to the right when you enter and is incredibly well lit, highlighting both the chefs and what I can only assume was a dry-aging box behind them that had many fish in it. They do all their omakase experiences here - which we wanted to book, but there weren't any more tickets available. We made due with a regular table and immediately noticed that instead of a traditional soy sauce bottle, they were using water droppers, which was a nice touch. FYI, if you're dowsing your sushi in soy sauce, you're doing it wrong! Now, when I say I know good quality sushi, I mean I can look at a cut of fish and tell you what it is (in both Japanese and English), what part of the fish it came from, and how many days it's been used for service. So when I say that this is easily the best, freshest, and most reasonably priced nigiri I've ever had, I mean it from the very bottom of my soul. The service was incredibly fast, yet perfectly timed. Everything was so delicious that I couldn't stop ordering nigiri pieces, and ended up ordering about 10 pieces total. The Hokkaido scallop and full fat tuna (Otoro) were absolutely to die for and I ordered both twice. They even took a special request for Hokkaido Uni (sea urchin) + Ikura (salmon roe) which was absolutely perfect. Everyone that came to our table was friendly, professional and showed us their best hospitality. Considering how great everything was so soon after a grand opening, this place will be a powerhouse in the neighborhood if it catches on. I for one, will be coming here as often as I can to see how they evolve with access to more seasonal sushi.

Incredible quality fish and service! Was blown away by the different variation of fish, some I have never heard of

My new favorite elevated sushi spot. The omakase counter looked amazing, but they have the best a la carte nigiri selection I have ever had in this city. I've been to pretty much every omakase spot and many of the upscale sushi spots in this town and I would say you get pieces of nigiri a la carte that are the level of the high end omakase spots but you can just booking a Dining room spot and do it (and the pricing is so reasonable). Service is great, they are so sweet and fun. The ambiance is lovely. Not too loud or echoey, tables are private enough you won't have to hear everybody's conversation.
