Tanoshii West Loop - Chicago

We love Tanoshii and have been going here fairly frequently for about five years since we moved to Chicago. Their omakase experience is always worth it, and while they certainly have the staple rolls, they always surprise us with something new since we’ve tried so many. The staff here is truly incredible and works so hard. Even our friends visiting from San Diego said this was the best and freshest fish they’d ever had. Highly recommend!

Tanoshii has become our go-to sushi restaurant because of the casual and cozy atmosphere but high quality of the food. One is also a lottery winner if Michelle is the server, although the servers work well with each other to provide continuous and efficient coverage of all of the tables. We just do Omakase now and don't even look at the menu, but the scallop, fatty tuna, and roll with shitake mushrooms and truffle oil are our favorites. When we made the reservation we included a note that this was a birthday dinner, and we were surprised with fresh mango and mochi ice cream desserts! We like to select the earlier times because it tends to be quieter at that time, but when we arrived, there was a large, energetic group that was having a great time and unfortunately, kept the noise level high during our visit. Michelle's attentiveness and the excellent food made up for it.

Very tasty fresh sushi. Friendly service. We had the chefs menu for a party of three which was really good value for money and very tasty. Loved the mochis as well. Happy to return!Food: 5/5
