Nobu Chicago sits on West Randolph Street in the Fulton Market District, part of the global Nobu group's fusion-omakase format. The Sushi Bar Omakase is a 10-course tasting served exclusively at the counter, pairing each nigiri course in two styles: a traditional Nobu preparation and a Chicago-inspired version. The menu closes with soup and dessert and runs $150 per person, available nightly.
At midday, a separate $40 prix fixe lunch offers three courses — a cold dish, a hot main, and dessert — drawing from signatures such as Yellowtail Jalapeño, Tuna Sashimi Salad, and Grilled Branzino. It runs weekdays from 11:30am to 2:30pm.
Seating for the omakase is counter-only, and reservations are handled through OpenTable. The restaurant's overall price tier is moderate, and the experience is rated easy in terms of booking difficulty, meaning tables and counter seats are generally accessible without extensive advance planning compared to higher-demand omakase counters.
Beyond the tasting menus, Nobu Chicago keeps extended hours: breakfast service starts at 7am on weekdays (7:30am weekends), a limited bar menu runs between lunch and dinner from 3pm to 5pm on a walk-in basis, and weekend brunch buffet is offered Saturdays and Sundays for $80 per person. A weekday Tanoshi Hour on the rooftop, from 3pm to 6pm, offers discounted bar bites and cocktails.
