Omakase Yume - Menu

Some of the best sushi I've ever had...maybe even the best. Great, intimate place.

I had a wonderful Omakase experience in Chicago with my boyfriend. The food was fantastic!

Dinner and a show! The ambiance of the space combined with the superior quality of the ingredients made for a most memorable experience. View menu

Wonderful experience. Like being back in Japan. The service was phenomenal and the food was exquisite. I can still remember every bite. Really pricey, but worth the memory.

Overall, just meh . Every course/piece was OK, but none were great or memorable. When we walked out, I could not recall a single piece that I wanted to tell anyone about it and none of the pieces elicited wow . I would not return under any circumstances.

Yume is good, but not great. I liked the very Japanese small sushi bar omakase experience but the price is exorbitant and the food is good but uninspired. I can think of a handful of sushi restaurants off the top of my head most within walking distance of this one that offer better sushi and better value. We both love sushi and eat a lot of it, but Yume is a place we've crossed off our list. View menu

Wow! Chef Park truly deserves his Michelin Star. The Omakase was absolutely exceptional—it's the best sushi I've ever had! The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived until we departed. While some reviewers mentioned feeling rushed, I found the timing and pacing to be just right. Chef Park is a remarkably humble chef, and his talents are more than worthy of the Michelin recognition. We will undoubtedly return time and time again!

However, I have a couple of minor complaints (aside from the attire issue). Firstly, it's a pet peeve of mine when a Michelin-starred restaurant charges extra for sparkling water. It’s just a bottle of San Pellegrino, especially given the price of the tasting menu—it feels unreasonable. Secondly, it would have been nice if the chef had introduced himself at least. I don’t need a long conversation, but a simple welcome would have been appreciated. The only interaction we had was when he named each type of fish as he plated them for each couple. That said, the incredible quality of the sushi more than made up for these shortcomings.

I like how some of these 1 star reviews are from people that are wannabe Gordon Ramsay’s lol. I’ve been to numerous omakase’s and guess what? The chefs don’t talk much like Omakase Yume. For me it was not my first rodeo. I’ve also been to other Michelin restaurants where you don’t even meet the chefs or interact with them. To clarify there were no bugs around the restaurant, no hair in the food, and lastly the server did not rush us or the other couple at all. I just wanted to get some of the facts straight since I have more than 1-3 reviews under my belt. The restaurant is small so it is limited seating. I was able to converse with the chef and his wife. She was the main server for us. Fish... View menu
