    Wow. Wow. Wow. An excellent experience thank you to our server and the chefs for such a special night. We did the omakase experience and every thing was amazing. The vibes were chill and perfect for a romantic night.

    Great dinner experience at Juno. The exterior is unassuming and looks more like a neighborhood joint. Going inside, the ambiance is lively and the restaurant was pretty full on a weekday night. Service was attentive and very helpful with recommendations. Cocktails are all very creative and centered around whiskey and Japanese flavors. The food menu is more traditional and only really has nigiri and small rolls (no maki). The fish were all fresh although I thought the portions were a little skimpy. We each ordered mains and ended up ordering more food because it wasn't enough. Overall Juno is a bit on the pricier side

    Maki Combo

    I did an online takeout order from them on a Friday night. The promised time was about an hour wait, which I thought was a little too long, especially when I arrived it didn't seem that busy for it to take that long. I did arrive a lot sooner than my promised time, hoping it would be close to be completed but still had to wait some time. They invited me to sit at the bar while I waited and offered me a drink and also gave me a glass of water. Outstanding top notch customer service. I ordered their Maki Combo. It came with their Tako Maguro, Ceviche and Sake Yaki. They were all delicious. My favorite was their Ceviche, then the Tako Maguro. Ceviche came with tuna, white fish and shrimp, spicy mayo and pineapple salsa. You get a nice fusion of tropical with sushi. Definitely a great combination. The Tako Maguro came with spicy octopus, and spicy tuna. It was definitely spicy, but a good spicy. And the Sake Yaki came with grilled salmon and almond. I also ordered a Miso Soup, but only because they would let me pay with a credit card unless it was $50 or more. The Maki Combo was $48. Was not a big fan of their credit card limit. It's definitely on the pricier side for what you get. The rolls are tiny. They're like bite size versions of standard making rolls. But these tiny little suckers are full of flavor. The quality and attention to detail is what you're paying for. While this isn't an everyday type of sushi place, I can definitely see myself returning.

    If you're looking for an experience very similar to Japan this is it. My friends coworker suggested this place and as I drove through Lincoln Park I got a little scared thinking maybe this girl just didn't know good sushi. I was wrong this place was awesome and for a Thursday should have been way more busy! The fish was fresh, the flavor combinations delicious and not too crazy, and honestly the ambiance is very similar to a sushi restaurant in Japan. Not over done, just nice. The edamame, uni shooter, chefs nigiri and the Queen are a must! So so good and a lot left to explore on the menu.

    The food is awesome. Awesome. Awesome. The service is so good. Helen was our server & so great! We went on a Sunday for our 29th anniversary. No problemo with a table, but would imagine weekends are crowd scene. Ambiance is really chill & hip.

    Crisp Sake roll

    I've been on a mission to find the best sushi in Chicago and finally got to pay a visit to Juno. Not only is this some of the best, but it might be my favorite sushi I've ever tried! I was able to snag a walk-in table and it was already getting busy around 5pm. The decor and vibe are elegant and upscale without feeling stuffy. The staff was super friendly and professional, providing me with thorough recommendations of menu favorites. I ordered the Crisp Sake maki, Juno Queen, and smoked salmon. All were absolutely phenomenal- they boasted inventive flavors while letting the flavors of the fish shine through. The salmon was so fresh that it tasted buttery. The crisp sake roll was particularly notable- the seared salmon went so well with the hint of scallion and crispy mashed potato tempura inside. Sweet unagi and unagi truffle sauce rounded out the dish perfectly. The Juno Queen was also stellar- tender salmon enveloped a super creamy garlic-scallop filling with crunch on top. The smoked salmon was presented in a glass dome that, when lifted, released a delicate smoke revealing the dish. I enjoyed how refreshing the yuzu tasted in combination with the explosion of juicy roe. It's definitely hard to find a la carte sushi of this quality. I am so looking forward to returning- Juno is well worth going out of your way to visit!

    Here's one of the 11courses.

    We were there with our adult children celebrating our anniversary. We had the Omakase experience and thought everything was amazing. The food was delicious, the service was superb. The pacing was relaxed and the ambience felt cozy and we were seated far enough away from the other patrons that it almost felt private. This is an expensive outing but it was one of the best meals we have had. You can find Omakase for more and for less money. We enjoyed everything and had a wonderful night.

    Do they have omakase and if so, how much is it?

    Do they have fresh wasabi?

    Very fresh . They don't serve it to you right away atleast not when I came on the second day of official opening. But it's so fresh and yummy

    Does the $150 per person omakase session include tax and tip?

    No. $150 is before tax and tip.

    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!

    Also could be called Sake On Me since you really do get AYCD sake complements of Sake Boy (there's…read morealso a limited beverage menu with other things to purchase). Said Sake Boy and Chef Bankky (sp?) will make sure you Enjoy Your F*cking Dinner. They put on a great show while serving 16 really nice, varied bites accompanied by great, classic rock and pop. Eclectic atmosphere, like a 70's basement with console stereo, posters and albums on display accented with random neon, including in the restroom. We appreciated that they did their thing for just the 2 of us on a recent Wednesday 5:30p seating. It could be a great dinner party if you came with a group... Creative nigiri, a handroll, interesting serving vessels highlighted interesting fish and flavor combos, with a bit of uni, Wagyu, and caviar thrown in for good measure. Will definitely return.
