“Delicious, clean, high end omakase. Everything on the menu was great. Great hh special too”
“Great omakase nigiri pieces. Forgot to take photos of hand rolls. There’s a happy hour during the week too.”
“First time booking an omakase experience, and it was to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday! The chef was exceptional, and we absolutely LOVED the experience. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. Thank you, Omakase family! X”
“Chef Jacob and Service staff John made out first experience fantastic. Very impressed with the chefs knowledge and communication to his guests. John knows how to make guest feel welcomed. Great visit for my bday.”
“A great omakase experience with a very reasonable price tag! The uni, the otoro, and the sablefish were the standouts for me (and I even ordered another round of the otoro). Some of the dishes were very inventive, especially with spices (cinnamon!) and a different from anything I've tried before. The chef was friendly and the waitstaff were very attentive.”
“Omakase Box should definitely be on your list for a chef's tasting experience. Hands down, this place is easily one of my new favorites in Chicago. Chef Lee did not shy away from bold flavors, which is exactly up my alley. The team brought together creative toppings that stays true to Asian spices, while merging with it - Japanese flair. For $98, you get 15 courses, which is really a steal compared to other places that charge $200 or more. Perfect place for a date spot, celebration, or a night out with friends. Sake list is quite nice, the only critique I have is, wish dessert was a little more elevated, but otherwise still a solid offer. I would still go back regardless. They also offer handrolls and other small bites!”
“The quality for the value is unmatched. The tasting menu is great AND offers an alternative for uni which is a nice touch. I came back for the hand rolls a second time. Don't sleep on the hibiscus tea or edamame!”
“Got the table side omakaze with the uni, scallop, and caviar addition. We also got two handrolls. Service was fantastic. She explained every dish and checked on us frequently. I enjoyed the Kanpachi nigri and the tuna nigiri. The kanpachi was an unexpected favorite with a great texture. The handrails were nice and served with the seaweed on the side as to keep it crispy.”
“Absolutely wonderful omakase experience, Chef Lee was incredible and the whole staff made our dinner experience amazing. Could not recommend enough!”
“Without a doubt, this is the best omakase experience in Chicago when it comes to both quality and value. Every course showcased an incredible balance of flavor, texture, and freshness. The ingredients were exceptional and the fish melted like butter. From the Hokkaido scallops to the uni, each component was thoughtfully sourced and perfectly paired within every dish. Nothing felt random or excessive; every bite had purpose and it all came together seamlessly. I appreciated that they would pair ingredients together that I haven’t seen before. What truly sets this place apart is the level of care behind the experience. You can immediately tell the team is deeply knowledgeable and incredibly intentional about what they serve. They go the extra mile, not just in the food, but in the way they present and explain each course. The owner and staff create an atmosphere that feels personal and memorable. It’s more than just dinner it’s an experience that stays with you. Every detail reflects passion and dedication, making it absolutely worth the price. I also recommend the à la carte if you’re looking for a cheaper option and less courses. If you’re looking for the best omakase in Chicago, this is it.”
