I no longer live in Chicago, but I make it back to Juno every year. I have not found a better sushi place yet or a better deal. How Chef Park can do both better is beyond me, but I'm glad he does! We came with a group of 6 and our waitress was lovely and attentive. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. I don't think the tasting menu changes much, and I'm happy about that! I will keep coming back for the exact same meal every time!

Wow. Wow. Wow. An excellent experience thank you to our server and the chefs for such a special night. We did the omakase experience and every thing was amazing. The vibes were chill and perfect for a romantic night.

Great dinner experience at Juno. The exterior is unassuming and looks more like a neighborhood joint. Going inside, the ambiance is lively and the restaurant was pretty full on a weekday night. Service was attentive and very helpful with recommendations. Cocktails are all very creative and centered around whiskey and Japanese flavors. The food menu is more traditional and only really has nigiri and small rolls (no maki). The fish were all fresh although I thought the portions were a little skimpy. We each ordered mains and ended up ordering more food because it wasn't enough. Overall Juno is a bit on the pricier side

Chef's Nigiri
Jessica M.

If you're looking for an experience very similar to Japan this is it. My friends coworker suggested this place and as I drove through Lincoln Park I got a little scared thinking maybe this girl just didn't know good sushi. I was wrong this place was awesome and for a Thursday should have been way more busy! The fish was fresh, the flavor combinations delicious and not too crazy, and honestly the ambiance is very similar to a sushi restaurant in Japan. Not over done, just nice. The edamame, uni shooter, chefs nigiri and the Queen are a must! So so good and a lot left to explore on the menu.

Here's one of the 11courses.

We were there with our adult children celebrating our anniversary. We had the Omakase experience and thought everything was amazing. The food was delicious, the service was superb. The pacing was relaxed and the ambience felt cozy and we were seated far enough away from the other patrons that it almost felt private. This is an expensive outing but it was one of the best meals we have had. You can find Omakase for more and for less money. We enjoyed everything and had a wonderful night.

Maki Combo
Jose C.

I did an online takeout order from them on a Friday night. The promised time was about an hour wait, which I thought was a little too long, especially when I arrived it didn't seem that busy for it to take that long. I did arrive a lot sooner than my promised time, hoping it would be close to be completed but still had to wait some time. They invited me to sit at the bar while I waited and offered me a drink and also gave me a glass of water. Outstanding top notch customer service. I ordered their Maki Combo. It came with their Tako Maguro, Ceviche and Sake Yaki. They were all delicious. My favorite was their Ceviche, then the Tako Maguro. Ceviche came with tuna, white fish and shrimp, spicy mayo and pineapple salsa. You get a nice fusion of tropical with sushi. Definitely a great combination. The Tako Maguro came with spicy octopus, and spicy tuna. It was definitely spicy, but a good spicy. And the Sake Yaki came with grilled salmon and almond. I also ordered a Miso Soup, but only because they would let me pay with a credit card unless it was $50 or more. The Maki Combo was $48. Was not a big fan of their credit card limit. It's definitely on the pricier side for what you get. The rolls are tiny. They're like bite size versions of standard making rolls. But these tiny little suckers are full of flavor. The quality and attention to detail is what you're paying for. While this isn't an everyday type of sushi place, I can definitely see myself returning.

The food is awesome. Awesome. Awesome. The service is so good. Helen was our server & so great! We went on a Sunday for our 29th anniversary. No problemo with a table, but would imagine weekends are crowd scene. Ambiance is really chill & hip.

Crisp Sake roll
Ashley H.

I've been on a mission to find the best sushi in Chicago and finally got to pay a visit to Juno. Not only is this some of the best, but it might be my favorite sushi I've ever tried! I was able to snag a walk-in table and it was already getting busy around 5pm. The decor and vibe are elegant and upscale without feeling stuffy. The staff was super friendly and professional, providing me with thorough recommendations of menu favorites. I ordered the Crisp Sake maki, Juno Queen, and smoked salmon. All were absolutely phenomenal- they boasted inventive flavors while letting the flavors of the fish shine through. The salmon was so fresh that it tasted buttery. The crisp sake roll was particularly notable- the seared salmon went so well with the hint of scallion and crispy mashed potato tempura inside. Sweet unagi and unagi truffle sauce rounded out the dish perfectly. The Juno Queen was also stellar- tender salmon enveloped a super creamy garlic-scallop filling with crunch on top. The smoked salmon was presented in a glass dome that, when lifted, released a delicate smoke revealing the dish. I enjoyed how refreshing the yuzu tasted in combination with the explosion of juicy roe. It's definitely hard to find a la carte sushi of this quality. I am so looking forward to returning- Juno is well worth going out of your way to visit!

See all

My favorite sushi restaurant in the entire city. The sushi is so high-quality, and the price is reasonable for Chicago.

Portions are ridiculously small, especially for the price. Service is below average. The ambiance is decent for a date though.

Do they have omakase and if so, how much is it?

Do they have fresh wasabi?

Very fresh . They don't serve it to you right away atleast not when I came on the second day of official opening. But it's so fresh and yummy

Does the $150 per person omakase session include tax and tip?

No. $150 is before tax and tip.

My friend was visiting from out of town and we decided to try AJI for omakase. The co owner…read moreintroduced each dish and the atmosphere was relaxed. Even though omakase can feel intimidating or uptight, it felt comfortable. Most of the dishes had a hint of lemon which I'm not a fan of, but I understand it helps balance the fishiness for others. When there were a few pieces without lemon, just the fish itself, I was blown away. The fatty tuna with caviar and uni tasted like a million bucks. The dessert was also incredible sooo rich and full of flavor. Overall, I highly recommend AJI and would definitely come back again.

Everything was fantastic…read more Every piece of sushi was better than the last, nothing was disappointing. Good variety of sushi, and the flow of the selection felt intentional and smooth. The quality of the fish itself was top notch. The vibes of the room were great the whole evening, everyone there seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the food and the experience. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable - the chef happily answered multiple questions about his knife selection, the sushi itself, and more. My partner has a gluten intolerance and they were perfectly accommodating, only switching out one piece of sushi entirely for another and modifying one more. The primary soy sauce they use is already gluten free, so I'd highly suggest this place if gluten is an issue for you. The cost was very fair for the quality of the experience. The full omakase course for two people, plus two cocktails each and a 25% tip ended up around $525. With no tip and no drinks it would've been closer to $300, but the service was worth the tip and the drinks were also very good and not expensive given their quality. We also both felt reasonably full afterwards, which is saying something for a higher end sushi spot. If I had to pick an area for improvement, the dessert (a (a special ice cream with a few interesting toppings) was our least favorite part of the meal, though it wasn't bad. Just didn't blow us away. But I don't go to an omakase spot expecting mind-blowing desserts anyways, so it really didn't detract from the night at all. Would highly, highly recommend giving AJI a try, especially for birthdays or other special occasions (I won't spoil everything, but they do a great job of making it feel special). They also are happy to let you take all the pictures and videos you want, even moving moving things closer to you as they're prepared to give you a better view if they notice you're filming. Just very accommodating and nice people who deserve all the business they get. 5/5 easily.

The hostess was not friendly or helpful when we had questions about the brunch / current menu being served. Once we were seated it took a long time for a server to come over and greet us. Our server was very friendly and nice but once we ordered she never came to check on us again after our food came. We had to flag down other servers when we needed something and had to get up to ask a bar tender for a to go box. The food was just okay in my opinion. The mushroom salad was described as having roasted squash on it but when it came out it was deep fried and the tiniest slivers of squash. My salmon avocado hand roll was good and was bigger than expected but had no avocado on it. Like I said we were here during brunch, which I would not recommend based on my experience. I'm hopeful the experience may be better during the dinner hour.
