“Alrighty!!! Now this is a place to eat in Skokie. The service was attentive without being overly intrusive. The drinks were delicious and amazingly fun. You can tell a lot of time and effort go into their presentation. The food... The food was delicious!!! Impeccable. I loved this meal. It was a wonderful time out. This is what going out for dinner should feel like. The coolest part is that it's a neighborhood restaurant. This has the feel of big city dining with a shorter drive and parking. Yes yes yes! Go. Great for a date, momma's night out, dinner meetings, or just a solo meal by the bar!”
“The atmosphere was very nice- the bathroom and restaurant were very clean and had beautiful lighting. We got two sushi rolls and edamame- everything was amazing! It was honestly the best sushi I’ve had in a long time. The fish tasted very fresh and both rolls had lots of flavor! Definitely will be craving these forever now, I wish I could’ve tried everything on the menu.”
“Kosher Fun and sexy! Miami vibes in Chicago. The staff was lit 🔥. The wagyu burger was just amazing. The ladies enjoyed their sushi, salmon, catch of the day, etc.. Perfect place to celebrate your birthday. In fact there was a birthday celebration 🎂 that we ended up joining in 😆”
“The food was amazing! Big shout out to Rob, he made the perfect drink, best cocktail I have ever had and he was very friendly and inviting!”
“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.”
“Very Swank Asian spot. As soon as you walk in you get an expensive feel but when you look at the menus you will be quite surprised at the prices. The only expensive dishes are the steaks which can be expected from a posh place like this. I mean even the bathroom is immaculate... My wife ordered Fried rice/ add chicken and I ordered the Vegetable lo mien add chicken. The service was absolutely phenomenal and I felt respected as soon as I walked in. My wife like this spot and we will be adding it to our list.”
“i had a lovely night. the music was energetic, i loved when they played happy birthday at a super reasonable volume. clearly their amps go to eleven—high quality! super friendly and great.”
