Omakase Takeya Chicago Reviews

We went here about 1 1/2 years ago and it was a great experience. The sushi was the best we've had. So fresh and prepared with care. If you like authentic sushi. You can't beat this.

I have been here twice and have to say that quality-wise, this is one of the best Omakase experiences available in Chicago. The sushi is made with a no frills, simple, and flavorful approach. They are temporarily closed now for renovation but I canno

Tucked away downstairs in the basement of a ramen shop is Omakase Takeya. Step into the small room, and you'll find yourself in a clean, well-lit, traditional-looking Japanese sushi bar - which is a very different vibe compared to the upstairs. Seati
Quiet and immersive experience.
The chef does not speak English but you can tell he is very experienced. This was my first Omakase couple of years ago, and my wife and I go once a year or so. The quality and menu is consistent and on the higher end. The reduction of experience to
Favorite sushi experience in Chicago to date.
Very intimate setting and every bite was fresher and more flavorful than the last. Actually a great deal for the quality of fish.
DO NOT RESERVE here.
If you must, read and reread carefully. Made a reservation for 3 for my son's birthday dinner, and I accidently entered the wrong date. Realized this ten seconds after I hit confirm. I tried emailing and calling the restaurant to cancel the reservati

I really wanted to love this place and had a high expectation for the sushi and service since the chef is actually a Japanese, and it is hard to find Japanese sushi chef in Chicago. However, it was honestly a really bad experience to me having an oma

I knew I wanted to surprise my husband with omakase for his birthday, so I spent a while reading the reviews of a couple different places in the city. I'm really glad I picked Omakase Takeya! It was our first time trying something like this.It was fu

There's been a few omakase in Chicago that I've been wanting to try and this was the first on my list. Check-in is at the front of the ramen shop and the host will tell you so sit by the back to wait for another hostess. Out hostess greeted us and to
Do not go to this place.
One of the most disorganized restaurants I've ever experienced. A total trash experience. If your life depended on it I would still take my chances and eat somewhere else.
Only complaint was the sushi was rushed to be served and
Only complaint was the sushi was rushed to be served and what was advertised as a 90 min experience only took us 45 mins! Other than that, it was a cozy and intimate experience since the sushi bar only sits 6 people in front of the chef. Delicious pi
The pieces are delicious, there's no doubt about that.
However, it's treated like lightning round omakase with rapid fire delivery of the pieces so the reservation can be completed and staff can move on to the next. The first piece was served before I even took my coat off and certainly before I could lo
The worst experience you can imagine.
I am a foodie that values good food, good service, and good ambiance, and am willing to pay for it. If you value these things, please save your money, taste buds, and time by NOT going here. From the time you walk in the door the atmosphere is unim
Had a reservation at 6:15pm but messed up the timing.
When I realized and called at 6:50pm, was not allowed to come in even though I still had 40 minutes left in my reservation. No rescheduling, no standby waiting, no future credits at all. $200 just disappeared for nothing. Was told "this is stand
Surprised my boyfriend with a meal here when we visited.
He's never experienced an omakase before, I have twice. This was by far the best experience!Each piece was delicious, and put together with care. I loved that the space was intimate with 6 seats, quiet and peaceful. I particularly liked that it was t
Small but busy ramen shop upstairs, an intimate omakase
Small but busy ramen shop upstairs, an intimate omakase sushi downstairs. Only a seating of about 6 guests, 1 waitress, and a sushi chef. It truly is an experience. The preparation for the nigiri, temperature of the rice, and occasional dab of wasabi

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Omakase Takeya Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Omakase Takeya Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Omakase Takeya Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Omakase Takeya Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
