    A small serving of white fish topped with caviar is presented in a glass bowl with soy sauce, accompanied by a cherry tomato slice on a ceramic plate.

    Great value. 15 pieces of sushi at the sushi bar for $98 is a great deal. Plus you get to watch a passionate chef prepare your pieces. Once the meal is over, you can add extra pieces which are also very affordable. Had the iced green tea for a bev and that was nice. Overall, great spot to get a budget omakase. Temper your expectations but this is definitely a good bargain either solo or with another person.

    We ate at the sushi bar last night and enjoyed the experience and the food. Our chef Aleax did a good job and the pacing felt comfortable. Each of the 14 courses was good, no duds but I would have loved to have had some really fatty tuna. My wife enjoyed the sake and my cocktails were very nice. The Basque cheesecake was a lovely way to end the meal. After two visits I recommend Omakase Box for its price to quality ratio, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff, it's not my favorite Omakase in town but it's definitely the best value. 4.5 stars

    We did the tableside 12 course omakase and absolutely enjoyed every bite! The restaurant is clean and simple, located in a great location in Logan square. It was pretty crowded on this Saturday night, but we were able to take our time and enjoy our meal. Their menu is very simple with the freshest of nigiri and hand rolls and not much outside of that. They really specialize in tasty quality bites, and every piece was delicious and divine. I tried a couple of sakes which went nicely with the meal, as well as the fresh seaweed salad. The price is amazing compared to other omakase spots, and service is really great too! Lots of quality and care in this restaurant and what they do - definitely worth a try!

    We had a great experience here! Our chef took the time to explain every course she prepared for us. It was my first omakase where each dish was explained so thoroughly. She even answered all our questions! Our favorite pieces were the nigiris with a smoky flavor. The last hand roll dish was also very memorable. I'd definitely come back again!

    This was an incredible omakase experience! Every single piece was incredible, but the tuna pieces were my favorite. The fish they use was so high quality - I would like to know where they source it so I can get some for myself. And the service we received was probably the best I've ever gotten. Everyone there seemed so happy to welcome us into their restaurant and give us some delicious food.

    Flight #1 - Four pieces of nigiri sushi with different fish and seafood toppings are arranged on a black rectangular plate, with condiments and drinks on a wooden table.

    This was a truly awesome dinner experience! The server was so knowledgeable and explained what we were eating and in what order we should eat them. They offered explanation to new menu items and gave us recommendation to come back for future lunch specials. The restaurant is cozy, so you may end up close to another group, but it did not feel cramped. The ambiance walking in and seeing behind the chefs counter to where they keep the fish was very interesting. I'd recommend a meal here- and finish with the basque cheesecake.

    Hand rolls
    Angie N.

    I was so excited when I saw Omakase Box on the restaurant week list! Our experience exceeded all expectations (which were already very high). Every bite was absolutely incredible. While I enjoyed everything, the hand rolls were phenomenal. The hamachi hand roll was my personal favorite. On top of the fish quality, the prices just can't be beat! What really blew me away was the service. Each item was described beautifully and they thoughtfully explained each dish. The environment was cozy and welcoming. Absolutely love this place and will be returning!

    Absolutely loved this place. Great vibes, great staff. Booked the table side omakase and everything was coursed out perfectly. The only cut I wasn't a fan of was the mackerel, which had a slight fishy and metallic taste. My favorite cuts were the chutoro and variations of sake. We ended up ordering more pieces outside of the omakase experience including wagyu, otoro and uni; all of which were so worth it. The yuzu hibiscus highball was also dangerously good. Definitely would come back!

    Hand rolls

    Serving seaweed on the side for the handrolls and the dropper of soy sauce was a gamechanger!! I feel like a lot of handrolls I've had got soggy fast but these were so delicious plus the fish was so fresh. I tried the toro, hamachi and spicy tuna and enjoyed them all. Nigiri were solid too- I didn't know it was customary to eat from lightest fish to more red ones, so that was fun to learn. Staff were exceptional and super kind, plus the prices were reasonable. We got their pre-fixed dinner for two this time but I'd go back to try their omakase.

    Ambiance - casual, modern decor, offers omakase counter and regular dine in tables Service - exceptional, our chef for omakase was detailed and timed everything really well Food - fish quality was amazing (love how innovative they are with flavors/toppings), some pieces were heavier on the wasabi

    Great service and excellent sushi! The fish melts in your moth with great flavor combinations. If you are looking for a high end experience this is a fun spot to take family and friends

    nigiri
    Faria M.

    Social media advertising always gets me, and I saw an omakase deal from Omakase Box that I had to try out ($84/ for 2 people). Now I will say it wasn't actually omakase.....we got seated at a normal table (not the bar seats in front of the sushi chefs) and didn't actually see anyone making our food. However, the service was great (our server recommend their seasonal tea which was FAB), and the food was good as well. Sushi was fresh, although quite small. The hand rolls aren't the bigger cone shaped rolls I'm used to, so be warned if that's what you're looking for; it was basically just a piece of nigiri that you wrap yourself in seaweed paper.

We wanted to have some sake and asked for help. Their sommelier was very helpful and recommended the Snow Tiger Yuki Tora which is unfiltered and looks like milk, but it went beautifully with our food. We started with Edamame which had a perfect char. The grilled Avocado was a pleasant surprise with the char flavor and great spicy sauce. You get a spoon to scoop out the avocado and it's sliced so it works with chop sticks. By the way everything is great for sharing which gives everyone a chance to try the wonderful menu. Then we attacked the main menu. The Wagyu Nigiri, the must have Bluefin Tuna Crispy Rice, Crispy Spring Rolls and I drank the juice with the Hamachi and Lemon. Now it's time to figure what's next! spicy Tuna roll, triple tuna roll, the incredible Wild Mushroom sizzling rice bowl and it is sizzling! We're nearing the end! The Unagi and the Black Cod couldn't have been any better. It melted in our mouths. Think we're finished, we saved room for dessert! The Miru-Ishi and Black Sesame Mochi. We're finished! Maria was a great server and was very attentive!

Overall, the fish was fresh and…read morewell-prepared--nothing particularly mind-blowing, but definitely good quality, especially for a more affordable omakase option. My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.
