Chicago Japanese Cuisine ๐Ÿฃ | Who's Recommending Itokoโ‰๏ธ

It's me, it's me, it's me! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Every time I crave Japanese food in Chicago, Itoko is my top choice. Even though it's a bit far from downtown, it can't stop my love for it! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป This time, I came with a friend to celebrate the end of her midterm, so I'm writing a proper review. โœ๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ”น **TAKO KATO**: My favorite appetizer for drinking ๐ŸŒŸ The octopus is chewy, and the addition of shiso leaves and ponzu sauce takes it to another level. ๐Ÿ”น **HAND ROLLS SET** - **MOMO JR.**: Tuna + spicy octopus + pickled vegetable dice. The layers are rich and satisfying! โœ… - **SHIO KOJI SALMON**: Salmon + avocado mousse. Personally, I found it a bit too rich. โŒ - **XO SCALLOP**: XO sauce scallops. How could this not be delicious?! ๐ŸŒŸ ๐Ÿ”น **"TCD" TUNA TORO**: Many people recommend this, but I didn't find it that impressive. ๐Ÿ”น **CHEF SELECTION OF SASHIMI**: A blessing for those with choice paralysis โ˜€๏ธ. Every piece is fresh and succulent! ๐Ÿฎ **Dessert Recommendations**: - **Donatsu**: Exploding chocolate donuts with matcha semifreddo. The skin literally bursts open when you bite into it. ๐Ÿ˜‡ - **Soymilk Panna Cotta**: With a base of yuzu cream sauce. If you don't mind getting messy, try scooping it all the way to the bottomโ€”it's sweet and tangy, super yummy! ๐Ÿ˜‹ #Chicago #RestaurantReview #ChicagoFood #ChicagoJapaneseCuisine #Itoko #JapaneseFoodRecommendation #HiddenRestaurantGems
