Omakase Yume

Omakase Yume is a six-seat counter in Chicago's West Loop, run by Chef Sangtae Park, who trained in Busan before working as sous chef at Mirai and Japonais and later running Badaya and Izakaya Yume in the Chicago area. The restaurant holds one Michelin star and is listed in the Michelin Guide for Chicago.

The menu is a single 16-course Edomae sushi omakase priced at $225 per person. A wine and sake pairing can be added and is arranged with the host at the time of booking. Seatings run three times a night, Tuesday through Saturday, at 5:00, 7:00, and 9:00, with only six seats per seating, making each service a small, counter-only experience.

Reservations are handled through Resy or by phone. Diners are asked to arrive on time, with a 15-minute grace period after which the kitchen cannot guarantee all courses will be served. Cancellations require 72 hours' notice; later cancellations or no-shows incur a $225 per-person fee. The restaurant cannot accommodate substitutions, a strictly vegetarian or rice-free menu, or requests for extra or no soy sauce and wasabi, though allergies should be flagged before booking so the chef can plan accordingly. Parties of more than four booking separate reservations at the same seating are treated as a restaurant buyout, and larger groups should contact the restaurant directly by phone or email.

The room asks guests to avoid strong fragrances and keep phones silent, given the intimacy of a six-seat space. The restaurant is closed Sundays and Mondays.
