One of my favorite sushi restaurants in Chicago is Wakamono. It's a nice neighborhood spot in Lakeview located on Broadway. You can bring your own wine with a small corkage fee, which I find very appealing. Once you are seated they give you cold towels to clean your hands and complimentary marinated soybeans with sesame. I'm not sure what other customers think but I thought these were pretty tasteless. However, everything I actually ordered was really good! We started out with edamame and pork gyoza.
Edamame
Pork Gyoza
Oedipus and Dragon Roll
The oedipus roll with salmon, avocado, cucumber, herbs and wasabi mayo is incredible. Every time I come to Wakamono I order it. I think the herbs are what make it have such a unique flavor. Next time you're looking for that local neighborhood sushi spot - go to Wakamono. Delish.
