Chicago｜Endless Tuna Dreams

📍 Ikigai Sushi & Izakaya 372 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60654 💰 Per person: $75+ Quick take: Fresh sashimi, generous portions, service is just okay—but definitely worth a try! 🍚 Toro Tartare Donburi 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Came here just for this bowl! Tuna tartare, sweet shrimp, scallops, and ikura mixed with egg yolk and sushi rice—$45 feels like a steal. As a raw fish lover, I’d eat this every week if I could! 🍣 Maguro Trio 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Akami, chutoro, and otoro for $47. Not the cheapest, but their thick-cut slices are seriously generous—one piece here equals about two elsewhere. 🍢 Kushiyaki (Yakitori) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 My partner loves meat, so skewers > sashimi for him. Big plus: portions are hearty and filling. Downside: flavors aren’t very authentic—feels less Japanese. 🍛 Toridon 🌟🌟🌟 Skip it—pretty basic. The chicken thigh on rice tasted just like the yakitori seasoning. Overall, I’ll be back! The tuna bowl is a must-order 🥣✨. Next time, I’ll try more appetizers, sashimi sets, and specialty rolls. #FoodTemplate #Ikigai #Izakaya #SushiLove #ChicagoJapanese #SashimiBowl #Yakitori
