Omakase On Me

4.5(16 reviews)

Making the trek from the burbs to the city on a Saturday night is a pain these days so when we do…read moreso we like to make it worth it. And Omakase on Me was well worth it from both an entertainment and food perspective. I had booked this for our anniversary about a month ago after seeing the stellar reviews and we are huge sushi fans. I didn't research too much so wasn't exactly sure how it worked, but the surprise was part of the fun. We arrived for our 7:30pm reservation and were asked to sit to the side until everyone arrived. I figured they'd take us to a table in the back, but then realized there's just one bar where everyone sits. They do 3 seatings a night: 530pm, 7:30pm and 9:30pm. Our entire experience was about an hour of 15 min and we left super full and well entertained. There are 16 courses. I believe about 5 appetizers, followed by many sushi courses, 1 hand roll and finally a delicious cheesecake for dessert. I was super full around course #8 and my husband had to start helping me out even though it was all so good. It wasn't the best sushi I've ever had, but really good by Chicago standards. We were sitting next to a lovely couple from Seattle where they do have a really good fresh sushi and they were fans too. The presentation was so fun that you'll definitely want to keep your phone handy to take pics and videos. And the staff was upbeat, hilarious and so nice! They also kept the sake flowing. They do offer other drinks, but we really didn't need to order on top of all of the sake. Our total ended up being around $400, which is pricey for a meal for 2 but felt like it was a show plus sushi...and such a unique experience. My husband loved it all and thanked me for finding something super fun to celebrate our anniversary. On your way out you'll also have the opportunity to sign the wall. For the cost I think it was a one time experience for a date night, but i do think it would be a blast to fill the place with a bunch of friends so maybe we'll do that at some point!

This is a sushi-only omakase, so don't expect appetizers, salads, or other courses before the…read moresushi. The focus here is completely on the nigiri, which actually makes for a simple and enjoyable experience. The counter seats around 10 people, giving the restaurant a casual and intimate atmosphere. Even though the setting is relaxed, the meal is not rushed at all. The main chef was very attentive and gentle, making sure everyone had finished each piece before moving on to the next course. I really appreciated how he paid attention to every guest individually. The three chefs also created a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere throughout the meal. One thing I especially liked was how clearly they explained every piece of sushi and what was on it, including the fish, preparation, and even the type of soy sauce or seasoning used. The information was also displayed on a board above the counter, making it easy for everyone to follow along and know exactly what they were eating. The amount of food was just right, and everything was prepared carefully. If you are a little intimidated by very traditional or adventurous omakase--unusual fish, stronger flavors, or more exotic ingredients--this would be a great place to start. The selections are approachable without taking away from the omakase experience. What stood out the most to me was the service. I loved how much the main chef cared about each person at the counter and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. It felt personal, warm, and unpretentious. Thank you to all three chefs for such a pleasant meal!

Even though omakase can feel intimidating or uptight, it felt comfortable. Most of the dishes had a hint of lemon which I'm not a fan of, but I understand it helps balance the fishiness for others. When there were a few pieces without lemon, just the fish itself, I was blown away. The fatty tuna with caviar and uni tasted like a million bucks. The dessert was also incredible sooo rich and full of flavor. Overall, I highly recommend AJI and would definitely come back again.

The cream cheese and salmon were the perfect portions to the bun. The egg souffle was cooking to perfection. I usually feel like I need some extra hot sauce on my eggs and the flavors were great and I didn't feel like I needed to drench the eggs in hot sauce. The pancakes were perfectly soft and not too sweet at all! Layering pancake, butter, pancake, butter and then dipping into the sauce made the perfect bite each time. We got most of our dishes through the southport set which is 100% worth it! On a side note not brunch related: the burger is really yummy. I love their hand rolls. The sushi rolls are a little small for me but still very well made. I love all their cocktails. They are perfect drinks for the summer and are nicely bubbly.
