Ravenswood
15-course | $125
We have long awaited our omakase at Q Sushi Bar & Omakase and we are happy to report that it did not disappoint! We first found out about Q through some of our industry friends. We also got excited when we saw Joe Amabile’s YouTube video featuring his dinner at Q! Big Bachelor Franchise fans. With all this hype we were stoked to head up to Ravenswood for this hopeful gem. We first met up with them for a quick a la cart lunch and ended up loving it so much that we partnered up for a quick summer giveaway. From there we booked our omakase and were ready to dive in.
Not originally being from Chicago, some of the further neighborhoods have seemed a little daunting for us. But we absolutely loved discovering the Ravenswood area where Q calls home. The cutest houses, streets, shops, and bars! Walking in for our omakase seating we were greeted with high energy and good music. As we sat, Chef Oni introduced himself and our drink orders were taken. Important side note: Q is the place to go if you are looking for an immersive, fun, social, and booze forward experience! Pro-tip. Offer to buy your sushi chef a drink as a sign of respect, generosity, and camaraderie!
The courses started coming and the food was great. We were extremely happy to see such unique and fun flavor profiles mixed into the meal. Items like truffle honey salmon really stuck out and left us ready for more. Chef Oni and Stephen are clearly very passionate individuals with a load of talent. It was exciting getting to meet the team and watch them in action. There were certainly some small areas of improvement, but these chefs are killing it and will certainly only get better as they go.
