Jimoto — Restaurant in New Trier Township

wow! wow! wow! Finally... probably the best sushi , sashimi , nigiri and Poke bowl I have had in years... Went friday evening for dinner as I had wanted to try this since opening. what a delightful space! Loved the different seating options from outside, table and bar counter. the windows open up completely which let the warm fall breeze in . Friendly welcome and made to feel relaxed immediately!

Menu choices were fabulous, fresh and fast! We certainly ordered a tad too much but my goodness the flavours were incredible ! The wagyu rolls were a definite favourite of mine! Opted to try both Poke bowls as well... yes eyes were bigger than stomach! so glad we did ... delicious! Staff incredibly polite and friendly and made for an overall wonderful experience!

If there was one criticism... the Lychee Martini... I love a lychee martini... and sadly this did not live up to expectations. The only lychee flavour was the lychee garnish and certainly not the delcious lychee infused martini that I have come to know and love wordwide... perhaps we could work on that? Its certainly not going to stop me though!

We WIll be back... both in person and take out! what a wonderful addition to...

got sushi from this place which popped up on my ubereats list, firstly it was impressively expensive for the north shore ... but having lived in Japan I'm willing to pay top dollar if it's top level product, and they had black rice so I, being diabetic and can't do white rice anymore, was willing to give it a go (they charged an extra $5 for the black rice on top of it being around $20 for a spicy salmon roll) not a huge deal but at that price I expect happiness... most of it was ok, it was very pretty and salmon was good... but the fish eggs on top that were there for esthetic reasons were NOTICEABLY off... yes it was very pretty and well wrapped but a GOOD sushi place monitors what they're sending out and if product is no longer fresh they just don't... or improvise with a different fish egg ... whatever. But when you're paying top dollar you expect fresh. Personally I love ALL variety of fish eggs, but they have...

Nice place overall but dessert needs more work. The restaurant interior is well thought out and lay out is comfortable. Hamachi carpaccio was good. We ordered sealed albacore, Salmon, Sea bass and unagi nigiris. Salmon was really good, nice flavor and texture. Albacore and unagi were seasoned a little too overwhelmingly. Spicy tuna temaki was good. Lastly, we ordered red velvet cake which had strawberry and strawberry purée. I thought the idea was nice, combining the slight acidity of strawberry with chocolate to reconstruct the red velvet cake. However, the cake layers were so dense, the bottom layer was like a flat dough. The cream cheese buttercream had no flavor. Overall, the dessert idea was good, but execution is lacking. Price point is very reasonable considering today’s inflation. We may...
