This renowned and innovative restaurant has been blazing a trail in the local culinary scene since 1967 and is widely recognized as the first sushi restaurant in Chicago. The first floor of the Near North establishment boasts a bright open dining area, while the second floor is low-lit and intimate with opaque paper screens separating tables. Kamehachi’s complete menu includes numerous hot and cold appetizers along with specialties that are almost too beautiful to eat. Many people credit Kamehachi with introducing the dragon roll, complete with delicate avocado scales, to the Chicago dining public. Another unique offering is the Green Turtle roll, which combines freshwater eel and tempura “crunch” rolled with cooked shrimp and wasabi tobiko and topped off with a creamy wasabi sauce. A cocktail lounge and full bar are available for patrons they while wait. In addition, Kamehachi’s Tatami room can be reserved for private parties.
