This was such an amazing experience. The restaurant is trucked away in a hotel suite which only adds to its ambiance as an omakase. The maître d', Melina, and the mixologist, Ivan, were extremely welcoming and well versed in their craft. Chef put on an amazing spread of seafood and pairing. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging throughout the experience. It was all around an amazing time and we look forward to doing it again when we return to Chicago.

Restaurant Week Menu available all of February!

Try our unique omakase where our chefs will work around your restrictions to course out a mix of traditional, and non-traditional, fare. With signature dishes like our fish & chips and bluefin truffle sashimi, dressed nigiri pieces, and our off menu "special rolls" (including vegetarian options). Otherwise, order from the menu with many small-bite options, nigiri/sashimi, maki, entrees, or order the special rolls à la carte. We pride ourselves on our fish quality.

We have a full bar, which features a full selection of Japanese whisky, sake, cocktails, and more.

(We have no affiliation with any other Tanoshii and Sushi Mike, and are completely separate)
