I came here for my friend's birthday for the Omakase and it was absolutely spectacular! We were visiting from NYC so we've all had a fair share of good omakase. However, Omakase Shoji blew all of our expectations! We got to meet Chef Shoji himself who is incredible knowledgable about the different cuts of fish and the art of sushi and overall made our experience extremely fun. The cuts were very generous and we loved how this was a traditional Japanese experience. We loved the restaurant so much that we came later in the week during our trip for the Izakaya bar food (has a different offering for a more affordable price) and the food there was also delicious. This restaurant will be my go-to recommendation in Chicago!

A beautifully designed sushi, omakase, and cocktail lounge nestled in West Town that has some of the best fish in town. Also the drinks are absolutely top notch. Definitely a place to go with a loved one or friends for a great night out. I had one of the sushi sets and there was not a single piece on the platter that was less than amazing. I can't wait to go back.

The best sushi I've had in Chicago. I had the Omakase and the food as well as the service was stellar. The chefs were absolutely fantastic and very accommodating as well. They were extremely friendly and added to the experience. The sushi was fantastic, and the presentation was superb. I would highly recommend it, and I would definitely go back next time I'm in town.

Wow! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. Both chefs crafted each course with precision and deep respect for the ingredients. Every bite was a journey— fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. If you’re looking for an unforgettable omakase, this is the place!

This is one of the best Omakase experiences you’ll find in Chicago, especially for the price point. I have only done the Omakase experience but would love to come back and try their regular bar as well, the regular rolls looked incredible. The tasting menu option however is phenomenal! I didn’t have a single bite that I didn’t enjoy. The chefs are fantastic with their prep and explanation of each dish and provide such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Omakase Shoji if you’re looking for a fun and interactive dinner option!
