À propos de ce restaurant

La perle du quartier
Innovant
Animé

Gaijin by Chef Paul Virant is Chicago’s first okonomiyaki restaurant, offering both Hiroshima and Osaka styles of the savory Japanese pancake. A self-described gaijin, or “outsider” in Japanese, Virant playfully embraces this perspective and honors traditional preparations and techniques, as well as his well-known passion for pickling and preserving.

Designed to deliver a lively and interactive culinary experience, the 60-seat space is anchored by a custom 12-foot griddle and chef’s counter and offers individual Hiroshima teppan griddles for table service.

The dessert menu features kakigori, a shaved ice dessert, along with mochi donuts and other Japanese-inspired treats. The bar program showcases highballs and a focused selection of beer – including a Moody Tongue-Gaijin collaboration house lager, sake, Japanese whisky, and wine.

We can’t wait to see you at Gaijin!

We sat at the counter and it was incredible to watch the cooking happen right before our eyes. The food,ambiance and service was excellent and I loved the storage in the seats for my purse. Great idea! We had the shrimp yakisoba, bok choy, boneless ribs and topped it off with a fabulous chocolate donut. Just wow! Great pricing for the location. A must try!

Just wasn’t wowed by the food. Wish they gave more suggestions of how to order the various dishes because there are clearly so many ways to customize.

The food was pretty good. The limited menu was tough for gf options. Our waiter didn’t seem to enjoy we needed guidance on what to order but I’d still go back.

If you like overly salty food, this is your place. The salt overpowered the main dishes. Overall wouldn’t come back here. Service and staff were great though

The food was delicious! I ended up getting the four-course menu, and it was the perfect amount of food. My friend also got the same menu, so we were able to order different appetizers and share. The non-alcoholic drink I got was delicious. I ended up getting the one categorized as “fall,” and it was amazing!

We had a WONDERFUL experience at Gaijin. I look for only a few things when I dine out, service and food. I pretty much know what I’m paying before I get to a restaurant so that’s never an issue unless the quality is bad. With that being said Gaijin passed every test! Our waiter gave us the recommendations for what we should try and it didn’t miss. Saved us a few dollars as well. The only thing we weren’t super fans of were the noodles but that could be a taste bud issue. Definitely looking forward to our return!
