Momotaro

Iconic/NotableWest Loop · Japanese Community-sourced, unverified
📍 820 W Lake St, Chicago, IL 60607

Momotaro is Boka Restaurant Group's upscale Japanese robata-and-sushi restaurant in Fulton Market, led by Executive Chef Gene Kato -- who later spun the concept's downstairs izakaya lounge into an actual second restaurant, Itoko (id 375), in Lakeview.

Tourist Friendly
Dish Gem$$
The Haru No Shiso dessert paired with cherry blossom sake is the order that turns dinner into something closer to a small event.

It carries one of the city's larger whisky selections, and Friday is the only day it opens for lunch (11am-2pm), a deliberately limited window rather than a standard daily service.
