“Terrific dry aged sushi and maki rolls. Great lunch spot.”
“My partner and I went to this place from our anniversary and we had the best maki rolls and sushi in Chicago over here They made our day extra special with a Champaign and cheese cake Lovely service and atmosphere We are coming again”
“Sushi quality was stellar and they had hard to get selections of fish one normally doesn’t see in sushi restaurants. Our server Meng, was top notch as was all the staff. I will be back when I’m in town again.”
“Popped in as a solo traveller. Lovely place, just wanted a few lighter bites - was guided through the menu and told what was going to hit the spot - and good sake list. Highly recommend.”
“So good. An instant favorite. Omakase was splendid. Eel was grilled perfectly. Manhattan strong. Gyoza 10/10. Can not wait to come back.”
“very good! I came here when it was Jinsei Motto a few years back and the menu seems the same. but the restaurant week deal was such a steal! we enjoyed all the courses. a great lowkey date night spot with good drinks. will return for omakase”
“Incredible dinner at Joto sushi tonight! We had the omakase experience - each piece was unique in flavor and fish was exceptionally fresh from Japan, New Zealand and Mexico. Both our sushi chef and server, David, were so friendly and attentive.”
“A fantastic, yet pricey for the Omakase Experience, journey down a DELICIOUS sushi yellow brick road. I didn't know dry aged sushi was a thing, now I know - and it is delectable.”
“We recently moved to the area and Joto was the first restaurant we tried! Since then, we have been back 3 times. The happy hour hand rolls are phenomenal and the dinner options are delicious. We have been for both the omakase experience and regular seating. The vibe is great and the staff is even better! They are kind and even did a welcome “Chicago Handshake” with us.”
“Un sitio lleno de encanto, el personal excelente, nuestra mesera Sara estuvo siempre pendiente de nuestra mesa, nuestras bebidas y comida! El chef Saúl lo mejor, quedamos enamorados del restaurante su amabilidad y profesionalismo fue lo que nos impactó, 100% recomendado, no se pueden perder esta visita cuando estén en Chicago! Gracias por todo!”
“We truly appreciate the friendly atmosphere and excellent service from all the staff, especially Chef Saul, who has some fantastic recommendations and perfect pairings. My family and I feel at home. 💯 % recomended”
