What C likes about Momotaro:
The experience was beyond anything I’d imagine. From the beautifully lit interior to fantastic presentation of food to the endless layers of flavors meeting your tongue, this was truly a memorable time. With an open wallet, I made the trip to try a wide selection from the menu and it did not disappoint. Your tongue will enjoy dissecting the layers as they meld together in your mouth. The portions and pacing of the di... View all feedback. What JordanM doesn't like about Momotaro:
Spectacular food. Fresh, delicious, creative… uncomfortably loud and reflective acoustics. Half of the servers were great, half were pushy, in a hurry to turn the table, mumbling their words, impatient View all feedback.

I could never give this place less than 5 starsEverything here is amazing.
I want to preface my review by giving credit to the service at Momotaro.

read moreMomotaro in the West Loop continues to impress with its delicious and creative Japanese offerings. The food is described as spectacular, fresh, and with a sophisticated flair. The restaurant offers a range of great options, including vegan dishes and a selection of nice wines. However, not all is perfect at Momotaro, as some reviews mention issues with service, including pushy servers and long waits for orders. Despite these mixed reviews, many patrons praise the amazing flavor profiles and beautiful presentation of the dishes, recommending that diners come in groups to share and explore the menu together. Overall, Momotaro seems to be a solid choice for Japanese cuisine in Chicago's culinary scene.
Every dish that hits the table is exciting and excellent, service is top-notch and whole experience feels really, really good
