Hidden inside a hotel lobby, walking into the restaurant made us feel like we were going into an exclusive spot. The entrance is a bit odd but once you get into the dining area the atmosphere is cozy, romantic and full of life at the same time. Everyone there wanted you to have the best experience from the greeter to the waiter to the chef and the manager. My girlfriend and I had a great time celebrating her birthday dinner. I would go back again once I get my paycheck.
Naoki is one of the better sushi restaurants in Chicago, although it falls short of being in my top tier. The interesting thing is that any sort of omakase must be ordered in advance...although I appreciate that certain items must be prepared in advance, sometimes I just want nicely prepared courses of nigiri. Otherwise, good service, good quality of fish, although the rice misses the mark.
Naoki Sushi is a great experience with amazing food. This is some of the best sushi and Japanese quisine we've had outside of Japan, and Chef goes the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome. The staff are extremely kind and attentive as well. Everyone at Tangerine Mountain highly recommends Naoki Sushi for an authentic, tasty, and fun night on the town!
