“Here for the comedy night and Andrew, Cas, and Emma are wonderful workers. The karage and pork katsu are some of the best I've ever had and I've had both in Japan. The atmosphere is great, and they really know their sake.”
“Stopped by this gem for a quick bite and cold drink before a concert and was blown away by my experience there. Quaint and Peaceful. Anime plays on the TV's, City Pop on the speakers. Great selection of drinks and food. What's not to love?”
“The best Teriyaki Chicken I have ever had. The chicken was so fresh and had incredible flavor. The portions were just right. The chicken sando was amazing as well. We chose drinks from the refrigerator to pair with our meal & Emma gave us great input and was knowledgeable about each drink we were curious about. 10/10 spot. Cannot wait to come back.”
“came for 2026 restaurant week lunch and did not disappoint ! super limited seating, definitely recommend a reservation. ordered the kimchi pancake, chicken nanban, and green tea ice cream and everything was delicious. (also pictured: cold noodles, tofu bimbambop, and topioca pudding)”
“Wow I'll definitely be back! My partner got a couple beers, while I got a plum soda - both were awesome! We also shared japanese flan and an egg salad sando, and both were wonderful! The atmosphere is super chill and the staff is very friendly. I'm SO glad this place is in the neighborhood!”
“took me a while to venture out here after it opened (been going to Konbini & Kanpai on Belmont for years and love it so much) — but so glad i finally made it in! lovely owners, nice space, the bar is really pretty, and most importantly the food and drinks were great. Chicago has had a huge gap in non-sushi Japanese food and glad to see this add to the mix. the sando, katsu, and appetizers were excellent and the sake and cocktail companions were great! and don’t sleep on the Japanese flan — as a pretty serious connoisseur of flans, this was a winner! looking forward to the next stop in.”
“Food amazing, drinks so good, patio immaculate vibes! Such a gem of a place that doesn’t get more hype! Love this place and will be back!”
“Love Konbini and Kampai Wrigley!! Delicious food! Great hospitality! Yummy Asian inspired cocktails and beer. My husband had the yuzu lager and I had some sake from Hiroshima. It was delicious.”
“Delicious food, refreshing drinks and friendly staff in a welcoming atmosphere. The chicken and the pork on the sandwiches were each tender, juicy and flavorful! Portions are perfect and prices are reasonable. They even have a nice patio for warmer weather!”
“Delicious, crispy, and perfect portions. Great place to grab different cool drinks.”
