Start with tastes of Kumamoto oysters with Japanese mignonette or king crab dressed in Kobe butter, and save room — more than 20 courses are offered in total. Those ordering off the menu can do so with signature bites, such as the smoked hamachi (Japanese amberjack sashimi smoked in a glass dome) and the uni shooter (accompanied by orange zest, cucumber, and wasabi tobiko)."

"Description: While I have never been to Juno Sushi, the Chicago Tribune describes this restaurant as one that "presents sushi and other seafood dishes with a precision and sophistication that few other restaurants even attempt, much less pull off." Their signature dishes are the smoked sashimi, where the fish arrives under a dome filled with applewood smoke."

"The northwest may not be known as a trendy neighborhood according to some Chicagoan's standards but those who live in Norwood Park don't mind.
