Chicago Omakase | KAI ZAN 🍣

This seems to be a trendy omakase spot—reservations are a must! We ended up here because the place we wanted was closed, and KAI ZAN happened to be nearby with availability. Sat on modern-style tatami seating, but the lighting was quite dim… not the best for food photos, lol 😅. $90 Omakase Set The price and portion size were okay. Flavor leaned toward Americanized Japanese—the fish had a fresh, meaty texture, but the seasoning was often too heavy or complex, masking the natural taste of the seafood. 🐟🧂 : À La Carte Dishes 🍴 Baked Mussels – Overpowered by spicy mayo 🌶️ 🍗 Fried Chicken – Slightly crispy skin, but came with no dipping sauce 🤔 🍢 Grilled Skewers – Just not a fan of their BBQ sauce flavor #JapaneseFood #Yakitori #RestaurantReview #VibeDining #Omakase #ChicagoOmakase
