Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Maywood

"Humboldt Park’s Kai Zan is another spot where it’s best to order the omakase menu and trust the sushi chef. This is one of the best places to order uni (sea urchin) which is flown in fresh. Be sure to snag a wooden booth which is designed for ultimate privacy during your meal."

"Chicago Ave. (between Rockwell Street and Maplewood Avenue), is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the sushi bar, Asian fusion and Japanese spot 4.5 stars out of 1,030 reviews."

"Arami is an elegant restaurant with a unique modern design for its interior. Its bright and vibrant setting and delicious menu options are some of the reasons why the restaurant is always packed with hungry foodies. Arami is a gem on the Chicago Ave strip."

"And none of us would exhibit our robust appetite full-on while a potential lover is across the table. Arami is the perfect eatery where the nigiri and sashimi are as good as it gets. The menu at Arami is far from fancy, but the food is authentic."

"Restaurants Pan-Asian River North. You've likely heard about Tao because of its 1,000-person capacity club, but the venue's posh restaurant is not to be overlooked. Snag a table in the dining room or saddle up at the sushi counter, where you can order sea-kissed treasures a la carte or through a decadent omakase menu."

"Sushi The beautiful interior and the equally beautiful presentation of sushi by Chef BK Park are the obvious reasons that Juno is always on Chicago’s best sushi list. However, just like that pretty girl you have crush on happens to be also kind, smart and funny, you’ll pleasantly discover that Juno’s food is also amazing from their appetizers to the omakase menu. The Omakase requires a 24 hour advance reservation, but you are in for a treat."

"Yuzu Sushi & Robata Grill was established in 2011 in Chicago, with now two locations. Both locations were set by their adoring owner Yut Vong. Upon his coming into America and being in the food industry for over a decade, Yut’s passions and livelihood turned one hundred and eighty degrees to the foodservice business, making the first group of beef rolls and robata emphasizing the young urban diners of all Chicago."

"Yuzu also made our list of the best restaurants in Chicago, and that’s because the chefs there put as much attention into aesthetic as it does taste. The sushi platters at Yuzu are decorated beautifully, and you’ll have a hard time resisting the urge to bust out the iPhone for a quick photo before diving in."

"Description: Yuzu Chicago is a great spot for ~artsy~ and delicious sushi rolls and robata grilled dishes. Be sure to order the Dragon Ball roll under the "Yuzu Jumbo Roll" section of the menu!. Location: 1751 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622"

"This market opened its doors in Arlington Heights in 1991, and since then, it’s been serving as one of the largest Japanese grocery stores and food courts in all of the Midwest (quickly gaining the reputation as “The Mall of Japan”). Come 365 days a year for favorites like tonkatsu, ramen, and Japanese-style burgers, along with a series of other Asian eats — dim sum, bibimbap, and kalbi have also been spotted at stands."

"Just 30 minutes from Chicago, this large, popular Japanese grocery superstore boasts an impressive food court with a huge variety of choices of Asian delicacies. If you want authentic Japanese, you'll find udon, teriyaki, sushi and bento boxes aplenty. There are tables and chairs to dine at the food court but weekends get slammed with shoppers so you may have to stalk tables to get a seat."

The European-style bakery and cafe found on East Superior Street inside the Peninsula Hotel, which also boasts a terrace eatery, just like theseother great bars and restaurants with rooftops in Chicago. Pierrot Gourmet is home to a range of fabulous baked goods, including macarons, which are said to pair perfectly with a specialty coffee or a glass of wine."

This all-day café inside the Peninsula offers a casual setting that’s ripe for people-watching in the heart of downtown.
