Chicago | Omakase Yume ๐ฃ
On the weekend, my boyfriend and I scored a reservation at the so-called one-Michelin-starred ๐ Yume. At $225 per person, our total came to $614 (including tax and a 20% service charge). The place is super tinyโwhen you walk in, there are only six seats, but they're spaced out nicely, and the chef won't constantly chat you up! They announce each dish as it's servedโperfect for someone like me who wants to enjoy a quiet meal. The servers are also very attentive. ๐ There were 16 courses in total, mostly fish and sushi. If you love seafood, don't miss this place! I've put the menu at the end. Menu Recommendations โ : - Hirame (Flounder): The red stuff on top is actually kimchi puree! I thought it was hot sauce, but it adds a really refreshing twist. Surprisingly delicious! - Uni (Sea Urchin) Hand Roll: Juicy and bursting with flavor, sweet and fresh! So good I forgot to take a photo. - Hotategai (Scallop): The scallop is perfectly grilled, with a blend of aromatic, soft, and tender flavors. - Misoyaki: A grilled fish dish served with rice, cooked to perfection with a slightly crispy, aromatic fish flavor that pairs well with the rice. The only downside was that the dessert pastry was a bit hard, but everything else was great! Restaurant Name: Omakase Yume Parking: There's a public parking lot across the street, but it costs $10-15. ๐ #NorthAmerica #Omakase #JapaneseCuisine #Chicago #MichelinStar
