This place is definitely a must try! Here are my recs: Chefs special Sashimi to share (eat from light to dark)! The uni was some of the best I ever had! We also tried the scallop that had some really yummy noodles with it. If you get dessert, try the Panna Cotta! We also got the smoked hamachi, ceviche roll, anago and unagi nigiri, uni Shooters, crudo and the chocolate ice cream dessert. No real complaints about these but I wasn't wowed by them. Drinks we got 2 bottles of hot sake and one of the japanese whiskeys which paired nicely with the meal! I really loved the presentation of every dish - it was simple and earthy. I also thought the service was great - attentive and they had the timing of dishes very well so we had one at a time and weren't overwhelmed. They also remembered my special request I put in our OpenTable reservation (congrats on the dessert)! Overall I had a great experience! Will definitely come back :) read more

Very disappointing experience for a special occasion with family. We ordered these items. Grilled octopus, toro tartare, chef's choice sashimi, chef's choice nigiri, ceviche signature maki, crisp sake signature maki, 4 pieces of otoro nigiri and 4 pieces of chutoro nigiri. The toro tartare although unique, the portions were tiny and the serving method was not the most practical. Fish quality was okay. Grill octopus had great grill flavor but over seasoned and again portion was nothing to rave for. Chef's choice sashimi and nigiri was where I was very disappointed. Again the small size was an issue. Plus, with variety of sashimi, my understanding has been the size of the cut depended on the uniqueness of the fish. I'm not sure what I chewed or ate since there was no flavor and content. At one point my girlfriend asked for the salmon sashimi and I couldn't tell which piece was the salmon...that's how thin and small the cuts were...for a chef's choice? Very sad. The special makis were okay, unique fusion flavors, again nothing to rave for. Finally the 4 pieces of Otoro nigiri and 4 pieces of Chutoro nigiri were ordered because...we needed more food. What a mistake we made. An item that's sold per piece at $11 and $8, I didn't think I'd be eating mostly rice and barely any fish. All in all, I don't know what the quality of Juno was prior to the pandemic, but for a restaurant that's on many food blog's top chicago sushi restaurant, it definitely did not make my top list. We came to Juno with lots of excitement and high expectations, but we left with confusion, disappointment and dissatisfied bellies. read more

Had an amazing experience at Juno and it is definitely some of the best sushi I have had in a long time!! Our waitress was really great and helped us make informed decisions throughout the night as we we gave her feedback on the dishes that we tried. She recommended that we start with a few dishes and order additional items as we want more, so this worked perfectly for her to be able to give us recommendations! Based on her initial recommendations we started with the crudo, seared scallop, and then the signature nigiri (both the Juno king and the Juno queen l). The crudo was great- very light. It was four thin slices of a white fish with truffle oil and chives. The signature nigiri were also delicious. The flavors were so great and the fish tasted so fresh. Now the seared scallop was probably my favorite dish of the entire night. The scallops were cooked to absolute perfection and worked so well with the squid ink spaghetti. There was also a delicious Chile- based sauce that really just took the dish to another level. I honestly wanted to order like three more of these bowls but wanted to try other things lol. I will definitely be coming back just based on that dish alone!! After that we went with the ceviche roll, which was great. At this point our waitress recognized that we like a good amount of spice so she recommended the scallop and the sweet red prawn nigiri. The scallop nigiri is one of those pieces of sushi that just melts in your mouth. I savored every single second haha. The red prawn was also so delicious and had a nice kick. Overall, all of the dishes were absolutely delicious and had a great experience. The menu is definitely not cheap by any means, but I think once you try the flavors you will decide that it is worth it :) read more

I was hesitating between giving Juno 4 or 5 stars. I'll go for five. The food and the service were both excellent, though the food did sometimes take longer than expected to come out. Everything I ate was delicious. My only complaint (and hence the thought of giving it a 4) were the portions - they are tiny and certainly smaller than what they should be given the price. I did definitely feel disappointed with that. Still I would recommend and will go back myself. read more

Don't watch Seaspiracy until you've had a chance to go here! This was a really excellent meal- my only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 was that they were out of their toro tartare which I had really been hoping to try. Everything we did eat was great- some highlights: the prawn, eel and the smoked hamachi were all very good. My favorite dish may have been the scallop which comes with squid ink pasta. We finished our meal with both the green tea cookies and then a strawberry chocolate dessert which was unique and really good. They also have a great list of cocktails- the mezcal based one was our favorite- and the Japanese whiskey options are also strong. Definitely a great spot for sushi in the Lincoln Park area! read more

Hands down I think Juno is one of the best sushi restaurant I've ever tasted. A friend of mind recommended me this spot saying they had great omakase so I immediately booked a reservation! I believe their menu has changed since the last time my friend was there because when we asked for an omakase menu they said they didn't offer it anymore but later on was willing to accommodate for us which was really nice of them. First of, the ambiance in the restaurant is really nice, really chill. Our server was super nice and super attentive. I just wanted to add that each and every single dish we had was literally just mouth watering. Normally you wouldn't get full off omakase dishes because the portions are really small and not fulfilling, but i was completely STUFFED at the end of my meal. Im so excited to try their sister restaurant MAKO! 10/10 would recommend this spot. read more

The Lincoln Pk location is very good with plenty of available street parking. The staff is very nice and hospitable. The dining area is very nice and not too loud. As for the food, on par with the rest of the atmosphere, very good. I had the Juno king and queen roll which were very good. The uni shooter was refreshingly delicious, as was the mackeral trio, verano, mussels, crispy and spicy maki, and the spicey maguro maki. I also ordered the New York Strip which was overpriced at $18 dollars for a few very tiny pieces of meat that did not impress me. Also, I had the same experience with the seaweed salad which was very tiny for $8 and the chocolate cremeux which was basically just a few drops of chocolate on a plate for $8. This place is one of the better places in the city for sushi. But the one problem I had with them was their pricing. I can spend less money at other sushi places around town and they for the most part they can provide me with a better value. For example: Arami (my favorite sushi) restaurant on Chicago St. is also expensive but I believe can provide me with equal quality at a better value for my dining dollars. So if money is not a problem, then by all means dine at this excellent establishment. read more

My omakase experience at Juno was delicious, but a little bit awkward. One thing that was a little confusing was that our server always said "Just to confirm" before telling us which fish were provided in each course. At first, it made me think there was a misunderstanding or an issue. I wish that we had the server running the food herself and not multiple people because we really didn't see much of her at all. I would have felt better giving a 20% tip if I felt like I was being taken care of more. Since our server didn't have to take an order after drinks, it felt like she didn't have to touch the table unless she was running our food. Sitting in the front rook was also less desirable because you are completely removed from the rest of the restaurant, but you can hear all of the ambiance. My biggest critique is that it is very expensive for not being filling. I thought that the dessert was honestly the best part. read more

Orgasm in my mouth! Amazing! Amazing food and amazing service. Chopsticks were even pretty good high quality! Haha had to add that in. You didn't even have to smooth it out. Definitely recommend! We made reservations though their were plenty of table at 5 and a bit after. Literally everybody were saying bye to us, even the sushi chefs. Just wish it wasn't so expensive read more

Food was delicious, but the nigiri was tiny! It's a little hard to tell from the pictures, but they were the smallest in the US or Japan. I wish they would at least offer more sides or let people know the pieces are small. I basically went home and had another meal after paying about $60 per person. read more

I had been looking forward to eating at Juno for months, but our dinner was ruined by the condescending and rude demeanor of the manager, Winnie. Generally, we enjoyed much of what we ordered--the king salmon nigiri and the tako maguro roll was some of the best sushi I've ever had. However, four pieces of the nigiri we ordered (2 of the medium fatty tuna and 2 of the yellowtail hamachi) were incredibly fishy and unappetizing. We immediately alerted our waitress, who was so kind and apologetic. She offered us a remake, but we just asked to be comped instead (as we didn't want more pieces of the sushi that wasn't fresh). She then sent over her manager, Winnie. As we explained the scenario, Winnie immediately got combative, condescending, and outright rude. She told us in 11 years of running Juno, not one person had ever complained about their fish quality (which from looking through other Yelp reviews clearly isn't the case). She also asserted that we were just unfamiliar with high-quality sushi and fine dining, which felt pointedly offensive as we are a young gay couple. We have sushi fairly often (about once a week, and we have been to most of the top-rated sushi restaurants in Chicago). She continued to talk over us, roll her eyes, and shake her head in dismissal. We definitely won't be back and we don't recommend you spend your money at this sushi restaurant. Instead, go to a higher quality restaurant like Sushi San that actually values their customers. About 10 minutes after leaving, we both started experiencing stomach pain and feeling nauseous. It's hard to believe this was unrelated to the bad fish we just ate. read more

While trying to decide whether to go to my favourite Italian restaurant or go for sushi, the latter won. Juno was one restaurant that looked interesting and after reading a few reviews, I was hesitant. In retrospect, I'm glad I went. I went with a friend and we arrived at 6:30. The restaurant was quite empty until 7:30 when the dinner crowd came. Then it was all high energy. There is the minimalist Japanese style to the restaurant that actually gave me some ideas for remodeling my condo. But the food was what we were there for. And it was good! We opted for our own degustation and we ordered 10 courses. We had a few items from the cold menu, several from the hot menu, some nigiri, and a maki. By the time we were done, we couldn't say which dish we liked the most because all of them were simply outstanding. (Photos posted.) Juno has a bit of a high price point. Those who are accustomed to the "Chicago way" with restaurants that give you so much food that you have to take some home may find the cost problematic. The portions are not the size of Thanksgiving feasts. The quality of what we had was top, so quality trumped quantity. And the service was outstanding. Then again, we controlled that dynamic by ordering linearly and requesting that our courses were spaced with 10-minute intervals. Overall, Juno was an enjoyable dining experience for us on three sticking points we use to rate restaurants: quality of food, service, and price. read more

Enjoyed every piece of Nigiri and Maki. Had the lychee-tini and the Tokyo sunset. Out of all of Nigiri I had, my favorite was the snow crab, wagyu butter,lime nigiri is the best. The spicy tako roll was sooooo good. The grilled octopus was very good and so were the juno queen and king nigiri. Definitely would go back for sure. read more

If a guy wants to take you on a date to Juno, you go. No questions asked, just do it. The menu isn't big with the drink menu being 4x as large...and they may just be out of half of what is on the menu. But once you get your order, your mouth will thank you. My date and I ordered an appetizer special of the night which was really delicious. I can't remember exactly what it was because they were out of my first and second choice but I do know it came with two tiny spoons piled with a few ingredients and was $10 for one bite each. We then ordered the Chef's Special Sashimi for $48. Pro-Tip : Sashimi is slices of raw fish. Nigiri is those same slices of raw fish over a bit of rice. The presentation was absolutely beautiful on this special. It looked as if they all jumped right out of the ocean onto a large rock surrounded by seaweed and other pretty sea plants. Each fish had two slices so we were each able to try every single one. This was probably the best fish I've had in Chicagoland to date. It pretty much melted right in my mouth, uber fresh and the cut of the fish was perfection. I loved everything I tried and it was a pretty wide variety of sashimi. Loved my meal at Juno and it's now become the spot I will direct all to looking for the best sushi joint in Chi City. Service was also great including local celeb owner who greets people at the door - known for chasing down a phone thief and pinning him to the ground! Badass restaurant and badass owner! read more

Delicious. Simply awesome. Everything was so good. We were just here for my birthday. Service was impeccable, all the fish was sooo fresh and ambience was just lovely. read more

Wonderful experience! The service was attentive and offered real recommendations. The lychee martini cocktail was refreshing. We ordered so much food, but you have to because the portions are tiny. Everything was so delicious though. The quality and tenderness of the fish and meat melts in your mouth. Some of my favorites dishes- chicken wings, seared scallops*, crisp, seaweed salad, Juno king*, mussels. Reservations suggested! read more

400th review reserved for one of my favorite sushi spots in Chicago :) As an uni fiend, I'm always on the lookout for great uni. Kai Zan was my number 1 in Chicago with their amazing uni toro tartare, but I needed a more reliable replacement because they don't always have it and also, there was an uni cutoff the last time I had dined there. Juno delivered on all fronts - handroll, nigiri, shooter, all were done excellently. And it wasn't just the uni, but everything we had there was so good! Their crispy sake roll is by far one of the most inventive and best tasting makis I've ever had. The crisp is genuine and comes from a fresh eggroll inside the maki, an unagi and mashed potato eggroll, paired with a truffle soy sauce. Repeatworthy, this is a must-order. Loved that their menu had a good variety that made for a fun dining experience (compared to Sushi-San's short nigiri selection, not as much fun). Especially enjoyed their madai and sweet ikura (Raisu's ikura was sweeter with a stronger sake flavor, but we liked Juno's more). Their showstopper smoked hamachi added a delight to a traditionally more staid cuisine: it arrived to our table encased and shrouded in smoke, until our waiter uncovered the glass top to release the smoke curls and reveal the delicious bites awaiting. Great service from our waiter, lovely interior, one of the premier sushi spots in Chicago. read more

It's about time I've updated this review. Juno has become my favorite sushi place in Chicago hands down. Whether we have family/friends visiting, a special occasion to celebrate, or just have a craving for really good sushi on a rare date night, this is my go-to spot. Hubby and I get straight to business, ordering an appetizer, a Chef's Nigiri each (because who wants to share?!), and usually either a hand roll or maki. On our most recent visit, we tried the Charred Corn, aka Juno Elote, and it was so delicious! A great summer dish that with serious Unami flavors. Chef's Nigiri never disappoints. The Crisp Sake maki with the unagi and salmon lightly crisped on top was also yummy and texturally satisfying. Our server Justin took great care of us especially when he found out it was our first date night away from our 2 kids (one who was 10 weeks old). Only snafu was I was able to make a reservation on Open Table for 5pm on a Wednesday but they don't open until 5:30pm on Wednesdays. Not that anyone eats that early anyway and it wasn't an issue getting seated but may be something to fix so others don't show up early then have to kill time at the bar down the street. Oh and Juno cocktails are great - we'll worth my 1 drink max while nursing :) read more

Absolutely fabulous experience. Booked the first Omakase on Sep. 29 and instantly book another one for the last weekend. The abalone and king crab starter is a great start. Especially the king crab. Full of flavor with different layers. The sushi course is beyond perfection. The harmony between the rice, vinegar and the fish is like the symphony in the mouth. Duck course is a charm too. After several sushi and sashimi, it came at the right time. After that, the Uni, Wagyu beef and spicy octopus take the whole experience to the climax. The chef is also very into wine as well. No matter you drink sake or not, you will definitely find a write glass for each course. God....I literally get mouthwatering when J wrote this review..... read more

I loved sushi, definitely one of the best sushi in Chicago. However, poor service ruined the whole experience. We got our food before drinks, there was long wait between courses, you have to ask for soy sauce and vasabi and our server was never around. I wish this place could become my new favorite, but I wouldn't be back because of the poor service read more

Nigiri rice is way too seasoned. Its too sour and strong that its hard to tasted anything else than rice. Overall fresh fish nigiris were just average. I recommend to try cooked nigiris such as unagi, anago and ebi. Those were amazing! I also had chef's choice sashimi. Decorations were gorgeous but sashimies were thin and squish. If you are an uni fan, I recommend to try uni nigiri rather than uni shooter. This is a nice sushi place if you are a sushi beginner and looking for a decent price sushi. read more

This is my favorite restaurant. The ambience is low-key (relaxing rather than formal). The prices are high. The sashimi is absolutely delicious, expertly prepared, thoughtfully and beautifully plated, and served on ice with fresh wasabi. The cuts are thinner than at other restaurants, which I prefer. Some of them almost melt on your tongue. Don't miss the uni shooter either. It may seem like a waste to put such a precious delicacy in "shooter" form, but it's a saline, herbal, refreshing, and creamy few moments that you'll savor. The wine list could use a little expanding and improving. There are few options, and only two tiers of pricing. I suffer from sticker shock every time, but I keep returning. For a special experience, visit Juno. read more

Can't say enough. 5 star. Fresh product and clean/efficient delivery. Combo of efficiency and quality in unrivaled. In a food scene where it is hard to maintain a competitive advantage, juno succeeds by keeping to the basics and doing what they do at a high level.. read more

Been there twice with my girlfriend. Food is perfect and lovely. Drinks are top-notch too.

The sushi here is fresh and delicious, and the space is gorgeous. You'll end up spending quite a bit to get your fill, however, so consider yourself warned. The pieces themselves are a bit small compared to other places, which is a bit disappointing, but you can't argue with the quality. The ambiance is casually romantic and the service is excellent and unrushed. If you are looking for a relaxed yet luxurious evening out, Juno is waiting for you with open arms. I started with the chef's choice of sashimi. For $42, and you get about 16 pieces. The sashimi is excellent, but the selection is pedestrian - a couple varieties of tuna, a couple of salmon, etc. I made short work of that, and moved on to the uni. You can order the Santa Barbara version or splurge for Japanese umi. I do recommend turning Japanese, for it was eye rollingly good. So fresh and so clean. I finished off with two pieces of unagi nigiri. It was delicious, and, in a twist, warm. However the pieces themselves were much smaller than I've had elsewhere. Definitely do not skimp on the cocktails. My noble bourbon boozers must try the Plum Manhattan, which is superbly crafted; the plum whiskey gives the drink a funky complexity redolent of amaro. The verdejo from Spain is an excellent value white wine which pairs perfectly with the sushi. Also, too, get dessert. There is a symphony of chocolate of five star quality. It is right up there with classic Longman & Eagle desserts. It is a must order. read more

There was an amazing selection of food and drinks. It would have been nice if the waitress had been a bit more attentive to our order. read more

I have never seen such small sashimi and sushi portions. (It's not because of the quality because Michelin star sushi restaurants don't skimp like that). The service is also slow and they don't time the courses well. Either they need a larger staff or less tables. If your going to drop $200 a head go somewhere else. read more

Amazing sushi restaurant. You have a full list of nigiri and sashimi to order from. If you do not know what nigiri to order, it has chef's recommendation, or you can just order chef's selection. Crudo from the hot dishes is amazing. You can order everything chef recommended, and it almost guarantee you will like it. My favorite is Mackerel (Saba). Overall, Juno makes probably the nicest sushi in Chicago. But you should come in to experience the taste of the sushi. It might be a too expensive to you if you come in hungry and wish to leave feeling full. The price on the nigiri menu is for one nigiri, and it is bite size. read more

Tried this neighborhood sushi spot for a Friday date night and I was very impressed by the simplicity & freshness of the ingredients. We got the miso soup, whitefish crudo, Toto tartar for appetizers and for main course the Ceviche maki, Tako maki & chefs Nigiri . Everything was very fresh and tasty. Portion size were pretty small but standard for a nicer restaurant. The prices and ambiance to me were a let down and my reason for a 4 star. Unfortunately, the restaurant has a very sterile and cold ambience. Also not most warm & welcoming staff... The high-end prices didn't match the decor and vibe. However, I would definitely recommend this spot for taste & quality at least once. read more

Not only the best sushi I've had in the city, but the best service as well. Aaron was an absolute delight and made an already spectacular meal even more special. My partner and I just had the most incredible meal there and cannot stop raving about it, so figured I should go leave this review here and on OpenTable (which offers reservations for Juno!) Highly recommend the seared scallop, the short ribs, the crudo, the hand rolls and frankly every single bite of nigiri (try the fatty tuna selections and also all the special nigiri and smoked sashimi!) but frankly everything was phenomenal. Also the cocktails and champagne are amazing! Highly recommend a reservation, especially as the word gets out about Chicago's next hit restaurant. You've got an incredible asset on staff with Aaron. The best waiter we can remember having anywhere. Made this meal not only extra delicious with his recos and expertise but also fun, relaxed and extra festive feeling. I'd add a sixth star for him if we could! read more

Juno is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Chicago. I feel that Juno is more traditional and sticks to basics compared to other higher end Japanese restaurants, not too fancy but still keeping the high quality of ingredients and service. My husband and I wanted to do the omakaze (chef's selection) but we were told that they need at least 24 hour notice as the omakaze consists of items that are normally not on the menu. So we asked our server to bring us items that are on the omakaze menu plus her favorites and a few of our requested items. We had the following: - Spiced Matcha Flip cocktail - AMAZING! I didn't think that matcha and pumpkin spice would work well but they do! Creamy and smooth, you can totally have this as a dessert. - Chamomile mule - AWESOME! Very clean but a delicious mule drink with a hint of chamomile. - Uni Shooter - best uni shooter I have ever had. Normally they put in too much ponzu sauce and the shot becomes overwhelming but Juno has it perfect.. not to mention the quality of uni, the best in Chicago. - Toro tartare - Creamy tuna tartare with perfect seasoning and flavor, what's not to like? - A5 Wagyu Tartare - This was my least favorite dish, it had a distinct taste that comes from eggs that I do not like very much. - Juno King - delicious! If you're not into raw fish, this is the dish to go to. - Hamachi -First of all, it comes out in a beautiful glass dome with smoke inside, which is Instagram/snapchat worthy. When you take your bite, you can taste the smoky amberjack with a hint of sweetness from the corn. This is one of my favorites at Juno. - Sake - Mighty delicious. I can have 20 of these. - Various sashimi pieces - by far the best sashimi I've had in Chicago. We also had the uni handroll and the spicy tako handroll, which were very good. For dessert, we had chocolate amaro ice cream and red bean ice cream. I loved the red bean cheesecake in the red bean ice cream. Our bill was a bit scary but we are definitely going back for more amazing experience! read more

Impeccable service and wonderful omakase experience with Chef BK! The freshest ingredients makes the best dishes, and there's no doubt that Chef BK has attained this goal. The highlights for me were the king snow crab appetizer, eel nigiri, and seared scallop. The scallop was perfectly charred on the outside and when coupled with the sweet soy sauce, it was absolutely heaven in my mouth. Two items that were kinda meh for me were the sushi rice and the duck confit. The acidity of the sushi rice overpowered the delicateness of the wagyu beef and zuke sake, which was rather unfortunate as it went well with all the other fish pairings. Duck confit was absolutely delicious taste wise especially with the ube purée, but it was a little on the dry side. And thank you to Juno for accommodating my last minute omakase request! It was absolutely worth it! read more

Juno - Juno Queen amazingly delicious - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm leaving feeling disappointed, disrespected and hungry. The food we did have was delicious. Our server wasn't on the ball. But the real reason for this review is about the manager. She was very rude, condescending and insulting. I understand all places and people have off nights, but I was shocked at the demeanour of the manager. I walked in around 9pm without a reservation, and the lovely host sat me right away at the sushi bar. My assumption is that the waiter had an off night, it happens- we're human. My friend that I dined with had her food almost 35 minutes before me, I needed to find my server to ask what was going on with my meal. I cancelled a few items; and would have cancelled it all if one of the dishes wasn't in the process of being made. One of the items my friend ordered didn't even come, assuming it wasn't ordered overall.. When I received the bill, I asked for a manager. I explained our experience and our disappointment. As I was explaining, it was very clear that she wasn't understanding what I was trying to get across. She made such comments as- this must not be the dining experience you're used to OR that it was inappropriate for me to tell her our disappointment when they already lost business due to the pandemic. She's preaching the the choir. It hasn't been an ideal time for anyone. I asked if she could provide me with the owners information, she responded telling me that I could email the general email, which she was responsible for checking. She also made a comment- I don't have your email because you didn't make a reservation-As If I was a less important patron... I'm just appalled by the disrespect towards both my friend and I. Truly leaving feeling like I was punched in the gut. It was really mean the way we were spoken too. read more

I'd give 7 stars if I could. I've been a fan of Chef BK since his days at Arami. He's very talented and extremely meticulous to every detail in the presentation and flavors of the food. I've tried Juno's omakase three times and its a la carte menu on countless occasions - consistently fresh and flavorful. To note: Their shari, in particular, is perfect. I'll take Juno over Momotaro, Kai Zan, Arami, or Katsu, anytime, any day of the year. read more

Small, simple menu - that's how you know they're confident with their small selections. Blown away by the food quality. Best sushi experience so far. It was SO easy to drop $300 because I wanted to try almost everything on their menu. Enjoyed every bite. Service was good and quick and but not super professional. A little more on the casual side but the quality of the food makes everything so much more elegant and sophisticated. read more

I've had the fortune of trying many different sushi joints in Chicago (and the US), but I find it is difficult to beat Juno. Too many places rely on weird gimmicks, or loud music, or over-the-top decor. Juno is where you go if you're looking for a perfect bite of sushi. The decor eschews the "loud" look of too many places I've seen as of late, and instead has a simple, elegant look. Walk past the nice little bar area up front and there's a dining area in back with a number of tables and counter seats by the preparation area. I would recommend pretty much anything off the menu. My faves have been the signature nigiri (Juno King and Juno Queen), the king salmon nigiri, the tuna trio, the crudo, and if I'm feeling adventurous, the chef's choice. read more
