Ikigai Sushi & Izakaya | Chicago Uni Rice

A great place to visit when you’re hungry! Delicious, delicious, truly delicious! 😋 🍗🍢 Grilled Skewers 🍖 Negima 🌟🌟🌟 There are two flavors: sauce-based and scallion-infused. Both are good. The chicken is tender and the portions are generous. Sasami 🌟🌟🌟 The chicken breast is substantial in size and well-cooked, not dry at all. It tastes great! 😋 Tebasaki 🌟🌟🌟🌟 A must-order for me every time. I love the crispy exterior of the wings paired with the juicy inside. Sunagimo 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The chicken gizzards are marinated perfectly, with a nice, crispy texture. They’re delicious! Highly recommend giving them a try. Tori Hatsu 🌟🌟🌟 The quality of the chicken hearts can be a bit inconsistent. Sometimes they’re great, but other times they’re a bit off. Butabara 🌟🌟🌟 The marinated pork belly is worth a try, but if you’re not a fan of fatty meat, you might want to skip it. The fat can be a bit greasy if not cooked crispy enough. Shiitake 🌟🌟🌟 One of the few vegetarian options—grilled shiitake mushrooms. They’re a bit dry, though. 🍣 Sushi Set 🍣 NIGIRI TO SASHIMI 🌟🌟🌟 I tried this on my first visit. Some of the fish didn’t feel very fresh. They were a bit mushy and lacked that melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. #Chicago #RestaurantRecommendation #Yakitori #JapaneseIzakaya #Food #UniRice
