Adventures in Sushi

Long ago, Omakase arrived in our lives.
I’ve ordered omakase from kaze sushi in chicago twice.

Here’s my review for Kaze Sushi in Chicago, its in Roscoe village bout a mile and a half from Wrigley Field.

Kaze, its been since the Spring menu. We miss you. We’re coming back. Promise. Soon. Promise.

I’ll have every new thing on the menu and my favorites:
Seared Tuna Appetizer
and the Bass Entree.
And I’ll order Omakase on top of those.

Edit 7/25/07..I think yelp should have an update stream for when ur friends update their reviews…like a ticker. ha. anyway - i cannot count the number of times we’ve been here, i have come with parties of 2 and with 4 several times. All the times are comfortable, except when they give that discount to my man but not when I’m without him. curious. Anyway…get the Tuna Steak appetizer. so yum. omg. and special spicy roll something.. yea get that. Go for your first time on a Tuesday and try it all then come back. I dream of the Ika. It satisfies me.

Kaze is fabulous times infinity. This was the best sushi experience I’ve ever participated in. It took me all day of reading everyone’s reviews so that I didn’t duplicate others words, but it is five starred by everyone already so lets move on! I chose the window seat in our party, this afforded me clear shot view of the chef and his glistening weapon. I couldn’t believe how it floated thru the fillets. It amazed me. I need a new knife. I believe the next time I go sushi — I’ll sit at the bar and get the chef’s choice style.(whats that phrase?) I got to meet a few other yelpers last nite and what a great time. Though I’m thinking that it should be a standing order of musical chairs between courses so everyone gets a chance for a hello!

The tofu & flounder entree on the spring 2008 tasting menu really completed the dinner. I joked about having too little soy but didn’t even touch it on the course it was served with. Though I didn’t care for the oyster or the sake, which I’m told were both very very high quality - every thing here was absolutely perfect and beautifully prepared, served by a very attentive staff. The Soup - Lobster soy with mushroom and shrimp was very tasty though the mushroom could have been cut into bite-size pieces. Everything in the nigiri sushi course was close to divine intervention for me.

Key to servers: When you have to reach to serve someone every course, do NOT apologize. I do not want to hear “I’m sorry” as you’re serving me one of the most beautiful dinner I’ve had. The first apology should go to the person you’re reaching over and then no more apologies, unless the food sucks, which, in this case — it clearly ruled as honorably as I, Queen Jean, Muah hah ha ha!

Edit 4/21/07: We’ve been back twice since and Let Me Tell you! Ask for Lisa if you go on a Friday(She was our Yelp dinner server.) The staff pools the tips so be cautious if you have a little off service like we did last nite. They have a huge to-go business! There are people of all walks that come to this place, so don’t feel the need to wear a tie. Both times I’ve been back, I sat right in front of the sushi god. Love the Chefs Choice. Each time was just splendid! If you want to dress up, do it. Its a beautiful place.
