Located in Chicago’s Elston corridor near the Lincoln Yards project, Hinoki Sushiko is a dual-concept Japanese and Omakase sushi restaurant by award-winning Chef-Partner Otto Phan (Kyoten) and Chef de Cuisine Gustavo Barahona(Katana, Sushi Hoshi)
We offer two distinct chef-driven dining experiences under one roof. On the first floor, a 50-seat izakaya-style lounge presents an upbeat, stylish atmosphere with a modern take on traditional Japanese comfort foods. Offerings are accompanied by a Japanese-inspired craft Cocktail list and a selection of Sake.
Upstairs, a 40-person dining room and 8-seat sushi counter boast a beautiful setting for large format Omakase. The dining experience is presented with particular reservation times for one of the largest flat-seating Omakase in Chicago. Strictly in Edomae style, employing traditional techniques such as aging, sujime, konbu jime, shio-jime, and smoking, come experience our team of skilled sushi chefs serve a 15 piece meal.
Hinoki Sushiko would be honored to provide our services for your next event. Each event is bespoke to your tastes and needs, to provide the best experience possible for you and your guests.
Came to the izakaya with my husband for restaurant week, and it was such a great experience. We tried the shishito peppers, sesame green beans, lamb gyoza, and chicken karaage. Everything tasted so good, it didn't last long enough for pictures...
Phenomenal food! The chicken karaage and the spicy crab maki we're prepared to perfection. I also enjoyed their take on the classic Manhattan cocktail (Manhattan West). We'll definitely be coming back for more.
The quality of fish was amazing! Our server Manny was super kind and explained the menu well. Everything is super well priced and the manager even gave us two pieces of toro for free. Highly recommend this place If you're a sushi lover!
Place was excellent! Very cool vibe and great service. The decorations are super cool and great for a date night or just with friends. We did drinks and a la carte food not the omakase so will have to come back for that one day!...
We ended up here on a whim to get some sushi and it was probably the best meal we had while we visited Chicago. We did not try the omakase experience, but the experience at the restaurant downstairs was amazing. The food was truly delicious...
