YOKO — one of Skokie's strongest bar & grill spots. The room fills up fast and stays lively. The cocktail program is serious. "The sakura roll was fresh, the Korean short ribs were super tender" — Megan Keller

“Truthfully I had low expectations when I came to YoKo But I will tell you their Rib eye steak with mashed potatoes was deliciouse”
This place is unwelcoming to families and anyone who doesn’t fit their preferred crowd.

“As a native to Milwaukee, finding kosher restaurants that are worth the price is very hard.”
As a native to Milwaukee, finding kosher restaurants that are worth the price is very hard. Yoko is a phenomenal place to eat. The atmosphere is appealing to all, the food is delicious and the attention to individualized attention is next level. I had the privilege of sitting at the bar and learned a lot from Rob the bartender. About himself as well as about Yoko. It was my first time at a kosher restaurant in a number of years (as I do not keep kosher) and it did not disappoint at all. I highly recommend Yoko to anyone and everyone in the Chicago area. It is a dining experience like no other I have ever had.

“Amazing experience from start to finish.”
Amazing experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. I’m from California and have high standards when it comes to sushi, and I was truly impressed by how fresh everything tasted. Each piece was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. This place easily holds its own against some of the best sushi spots back home. I will absolutely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional food and great service.

Truthfully each time I come to Chicago I never want to go out to the restaurants cause most are over prices for what they make and the flavors are not there. Since they closed the restaurants I actually liked like through out the years. And many cover themselves making a preaty restaurant but the food is eh. Truthfully I had low expectations when I came to YoKo But I will tell you their Rib eye steak with mashed potatoes was deliciouse. We also had the Singapore Noodles, the Pad Thai , and the Szechuan crispy Chicken and Beef where also preaty tasty. And whe had the Caramelized Banana Cigars that where preaty Good. The portions are also preaty large. We did take home left overs cause I over ordered on purpose to try more options, and it will be my dinner tomorrow 😋 Im sharing the pictures also, specially cause some of the stuff they dont have the pictures of.

“We had dinner at this kosher Asian restaurant and it was great.”
We had dinner at this kosher Asian restaurant and it was great! We ordered 3 dishes — 2 rolls and a yellowtail fish dish. Everything was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The passion fruit margarita was delicious, and for dessert we tried the fried bananas with ice cream and chocolate — I didn’t expect to love it that much, but it was honestly incredible. The menu is not huge but compact in a good way — you don’t get lost choosing, and still, it feels like they have everything you need. Friendly staff, clean place, very reasonable prices. Definitely 10/10 and I’ll be back whenever I’m in Chicago.

My husband and I had an amazing dinner at Yoko! The sakura roll was fresh, the Korean short ribs were super tender, and I loved the pow poppers and beef carpaccio. The mojito was refreshing too! Great vibes, stylish spot, and really friendly service. We can’t wait to come back.

Amazing ambiance service and delicious food ! Ask for Meir for awesome service. The Korean short ribs are divine. The kang pao beef was tasty with a nice kick . And don’t forget to top it off with the most delicious chocolate soufflé!
