OMAKASE YUME Chicago Reviews
First time here and wow what an experience! The setting is
First time here and wow what an experience! The setting is super intimate, only six seats right in front of the sushi chef. The service is top tier. Everyone was so attentive and friendly from start to finish. You can tell the chef has been perfectin

If not here where would you go? This is by far the best sushi omakase experience in terms of taste, quality and service. The order of the dishes laid out was exceptional as well and no other comment.

My non-Japanese friend took me here because this restaurant was featured in the Michelin guide she explained, but I was very disappointed, and I had to tell her that too unfortunately. Everything here strayed far from SUSHI. I was particularly let d
Michelin omakase was $225/person.
This is good for true omakase lovers. Highly recco when you want an extra treat for yourself and are in town
This was one of my favorite omakase experiences and worthy
This was one of my favorite omakase experiences and worthy of its annual Michelin star. There wasn't a single disappointing dish, and some of the dishes (smoked salmon with the chef's special sauce) are some of my all time favorite I'v

The Dishes: every fish was so fresh and perfectly portioned with rice + wasabi. I loved the take on certain dishes having a little Korean flare to them. I really also appreciated how the menu was laid out - it felt like a beautiful flow with starting

This is easily one of the best edomae sushi experiences I have had in the United States and frankly, it is one of the best meals I've had period. What really makes Yume isn't just the 6 seat experience which provides you with a bird
Rice really well seasoned and warm.
I would go again, but Michelin is not usually worth the price for me. Special occasion type of place. My favorite was the salmon
We were really excited to check out Chef Sangtae Park's
We were really excited to check out Chef Sangtae Park's Omakase Yume - making reservations is easy, but note that it does fill up quickly! They only offer 6 seats per seating at 3 different times - 5 PM, 7 PM, and 9 PM. Our omakase included: +
Phenomenal meal.
I was eagerly anticipating each bite for the meal, and many of the nigiri pieces did not disappoint. For me, I don't really like having an ocean taste, so 2 of the courses didn't appease my palate but my husband really enjoyed them. The bot
This was our second time at Omakase Yume.
Last time? Amazing--great food, kind staff. This time? Well... the food was still solid, but the service? Ice cold. We wrote in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday--guess what we got? Nothing. No "Happy Birthday," no small
This was our best Omakase experience in Chicago.
We've been to essentially 10-15 different Omakase restaurants here over the past 15 years and had trouble getting a seat at Yume for the longest time. Well we finally did for my wife's 40th birthday and it did not disappoint. The servers we

My husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary here and the experience was just incredible. The interior is small and quiet, with 6 seats wrapping around an L shaped sushi bar. The staff was very knowledgeable and provided information a
Excellent 17-course omakase
The 17-course omakase was excellent, especially the Botan Ebi, Misoyaki Cod, Miso Soup & Matcha Panna Cotta. You could order the specials (additional charges apply) and I tried the wagyu, which was great as well. As for sake, I would recommend th

Had my anniversary dinner here and it was fantastic yay ! The smoked salmon was smoked in front of us and was so flavorful and I'm still thinking about the matcha pana cotta. Note that to get a reservation here, you usually have to look a month in
There's a reason why they have a Michelin star.
Top notch ingredients, amazing presentation and great sake pairing
I've come to the conclusion that Chicago just doesn't offer
I've come to the conclusion that Chicago just doesn't offer great omakase experiences. This one-Michelin star restaurant was a letdown. Despite its small, homey, and cozy ambiance, our excitement quickly waned upon experiencing the lackluster fare.
one of the best omakase i've had.
what makes Omakase Yume different is that the chef is from Busan, Korea and he utilizes small Korean ingredients to some of the pieces making it unique compared to most other omakases. for example, he uses kimchi purée and sesame oil to enhance the
Great selection.
Everything is super fresh of course and the presentation was wonderful.
Fantastic omakase in Chicago! I highly recommend.
The service was very lovely, detailed, and each of the items was absolutely delicious. This is a place I'll definitely be back to. The space is pretty, comfortable, and intimate. The service was the right balance between formal and restrained but wit
Can’t recommend highly enough!
The best sushi I’ve ever had in Chicago. I lived in Tokyo and Kyoto for years and really struggle to find authentic, fresh sushi anywhere in the states. BUT Chef Sangae has done it! The tasting menu featured a delicious progression of flavors and t
I like how some of these 1 star reviews are from people
I like how some of these 1 star reviews are from people that are wannabe Gordon Ramsay's lol. I've been to numerous omakase's and guess what? The chefs don't talk much like Omakase Yume. For me it was not my first rodeo. I've also been to other Miche
Elite sushi in an intimate space.
As good as the other top sushi places I've been to. The amuse bouche and dessert were creative and delicious, while the fish in between were simple and excellent. The menu was built to go from light fish (like madai, which I really liked) to fatty fi

In comparison to other omakase restaurants in Chicago,
In comparison to other omakase restaurants in Chicago, omakase yume definitely has the most traditionally curated menu. I can understand why it is deserving of its star in the city of chicago. I would recommend this place to anyone who hasn't had an

It's definitely an experience and I liked it. The chef definitely approaches sushi with authenticity and sincerity. He puts lots of efforts and attention into each course but I wasn't blown away by the experience. For being a Michelin star restauran

100% the best sushi I have ever had in the city!! The restaurant is small and intimate! It was a perfect meal, and we left stuffed. It is clear why this is a Michelin starred restaurant!!
My husband and I came here for an anniversary dinner.
I stalked the website in order to secure the 7 pm time slot (given the intimate seating arrangement) and I'm so glad I did. The fish was outstanding (smoked salmon "sake" being my personal favorite) and even the miso soup was phenomenal. Wh
Probably the highest quality edomae omakase in Chicago.
With that said, the price has really gone up a bit too much. Not sure I can convince myself to pay close to $1k for me and my wife.
Unforgettable sushi, I’m still smiling after that meal
From the outside, this looks like a hole-in-the-wall type restaurant. However, this is a super intimate setting with the best sushi I’ve ever eaten. The sushi bar seats 6-7 people and the entire experience is incredible. The best fish, with the mos
While traveled, I have not yet made it to Japan.
While experienced in cuisine, I am no expert in sushi. I have, however; endeavored to sample some of the best my budget can afford during my domestic travels, and Chef Sangtae Park is a gracious steward of every Michelin award his warm 6-seater "

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to OMAKASE YUME Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the OMAKASE YUME Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at OMAKASE YUME Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at OMAKASE YUME Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
