Interior of Momotaro restaurant in Chicago, with tables, bar seating, and kitchen.

Momotaro Chicago

Momotaro sits on West Lake Street, a fifteen-minute walk from the Willis Tower. It is a Japanese restaurant serving sushi and modern fare in a space that runs smart and elegant.

The room is far more muscular than the hushed, minimalist sushi counters typically found in the city. By ignoring the traditional trend toward austerity, Momotaro creates a social, high-energy environment that justifies the walk from the downtown shopping corridor. It holds a Michelin star, but the floor remains rowdy and intentional in a way that feels distinctly Chicago. You come here when you want the precision of a high-end sushi program without the expected quiet of the category.
