Best Japanese Speciality Restaurants in Portage Park

Firstly, they were so accommodating as I didn’t realize that I was 30 minutes late to our reservation 🤓. But they just went ahead and sat us without giving us any fuss. The food was amazing and made for such a fun meal! The ambiance only adds to how cool this place is. Highly recommend.

This was a top notch experience. High quality fish, creative plates with influences from Thai cuisine, welcoming and fun vibe. It doesn’t get much better than this!

Everything was perfect. Food was excellent. We were well taken care of by our waiter.

My daughter wanted Omakase for her 18th birthday, and after some research I settled on AJI and I chose WELL!! It was an amazing evening for the 4 of us from start to finish. The restaurant has an intimate, warm vibe...like a small dinner party in someone's home. The Omakase is 15 courses and each course was outstanding! The drinks menu has delicious cocktails (and Sake), expertly mixed...we tried a few. Kristian and his staff are very warm, welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable. They explain each course in great detail and welcome questions about the ingredients etc. Kristian is very helpful and responded timely to my questions prior to our reservation. I cannot say enough good things about Kristian, the staff and our dining experience. Highly Recommend!!
