Sooo Good‼️ I’d Call This the Best Izakaya in Chicago 🏮

Chicago has many late-night Japanese eateries, but for yakitori and ramen that are both 💯, this new spot Mikami is definitely the one. 🔥 Prime Beef Short Rib Skewer – High-quality beef, tender and generous chunks — super satisfying to bite into. 🔥 Grilled Whole Calamari 🦑 – Soft, chewy, with a nice smoky char — who doesn’t love grilled squid? 🔥 Beef Rib Shishito Pepper 🌶️ – Beef wrapped around pepper — a perfect meat + veggie combo. Really stands out! 🍜 Tonkotsu Ramen – A classic! Absolutely perfect, no complaints at all. 🍜 Tori Paitan Ramen 🍗 – Lighter broth style, with big tender chunks of chicken breast + a grilled skewer on top. Definitely worth trying! The interior has great ambiance, and the cocktails 🍹 are excellent too — we tried the Satori Sour and Gin Blossom. Overall, this place is perfect for meeting friends after work — truly helps wash away the day’s fatigue. #EatLikeALocal #Chicago #ChicagoLife #ChicagoEats #UniversityOfChicago #ExploreChicago
