"Korean chef Sangtae Park helms Omakase Yume, the uncluttered, blonde wood-designed omakase den in the West Loop. Expect a series of 16 seasonally-changing courses focused on Edomae-style sushi. This type of sushi originated in Edo, the old name for Tokyo, and is based on various curing and preservation techniques. In 2023, Park and wife Kate Park unveiled Boneyon, Chicago’s (and possibly the nation’s) first dedicated beef omakase restaurant." - Naomi Waxman
"Omakase Yume is another omakase-only sushi spot in the West Loop. And it’s also a calm oasis among the crowds of people and pervasive noise of clip-clopping heels that dominate the West Loop. This is where you come for a low-key but still fancy special occasion dinner. The space is simple, the atmosphere is quiet, and the sushi menu is full of expertly prepared usual suspects (i.e. pieces of sake, hirame, and otoro). Like Omakase Takeya, it’s $185 for around 16 courses, but here it’s almost all small pieces of nigiri. This means that unless this is your second dinner, you’ll probably still be hungry at the end. If that’s the case, just order more a la carte." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen
"Korean chef Sangtae Park is full of ideas. He and his wife, Kate, run three restaurants on a corner block in West Loop. The most exclusive may be the oldest, Omakase Yume, a tiny and elegant space where diners can feast upon premium fish paired with top ingredients, giving Chicagoans their closest portal to Japan. Typically, Park’s menu runs 16 courses. Wine and sake pairings are available." - Ashok Selvam
"Omakase Yume is the third and final restaurant from the Great Omakase Rush of 2018. Yume is where you go for sushi that’s simple and well-prepared. Everything about this place is exact - from the precisely cut fish, to the perfectly quiet space, to the chef who communicates just enough to let you know what you’re eating and where it came from (usually Japan). It’s $130 for 16 courses, and unlike Kyoten or Takeya, this isn’t a very long dinner time-wise. But that leaves extra time at the end of your meal to order off the a la carte menu, which you’re going to want to do after discovering how great everything is. (Also, unlike at Kyoten or Takeya, you might still be a little bit hungry.)" - adrian kane
