“Ive been to 3 Omakases one of which was in Japan.”

Ive been to 3 Omakases one of which was in Japan. All were really really great but Kyoten Next Door was phenomenal. I not only left full (rarity for me 🫄🏻) but each course was unexplainably good and chef Jorge was funny, kind, and knowledgeable! Definitely worth the money for the service and food you get. Finding the location was iffy at first because there’s no signs or anything and it looks like it’s abandoned but once you get in it’s super super nice and cozy. Will be going back for sure!

This was our second time dining here, and both the food and service were excellent. Every piece of fish was incredibly fresh, and a special shoutout to Chef Jorge—his skill and hospitality truly elevated the experience. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

“This was a great experience, and the sushi was phenomenal.”

This was a great experience, and the sushi was phenomenal. Highly recommend it. It's very similar to what you would experience in Japan as well.

“I was close to giving up on omakase in Chicago, but this place changed my mind.”

I was close to giving up on omakase in Chicago, but this place changed my mind. Easily the best sushi in town. The hotate and gindara are absolutely incredible. I’ll definitely be back.

My first omakase ever did not disappoint, in fact it set the bar so incredibly high I fear if I try a different place it could never measure up. Our chef gave a background to each bite and even the sushi rice was incredible. The drink list was concise and reasonably priced. The vibe was upscale but comfortable for a not so upscale person (me). They even had Japanese toilets which if you’ve been in Japan ~~for 5 days 8 years ago~~ like me you’d really appreciate!

“Went here for a date night and it was excellent.”

Went here for a date night and it was excellent. The quality and quantity of food was appropriate for the price point and the food was excellent. Another highlight was the sake. They had a great selection that paired with the food and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall if you want a laid back omakase with quality food, go here

“Classic, straight-forward, reasonably priced.”

Classic, straight-forward, reasonably priced. The nigiris are simple yet high quality and omakase course is thoughtfully curated - I enjoyed every piece. I highly recommend anyone to enjoy a nice evening here! The vibe of the space is minimalistically aesthetic as well. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience being served by Mugi!

“Hands down the best meal and experience I've ever had.”

Hands down the best meal and experience I've ever had. We dined with Chef Jorge and everything was perfect. His vibe, the service, and food all blew me away. You could see how much care goes into each course, and how much passion everyone in Kyoten Next Door has in what they do. Highly highly recommend.
