The restaurant is beautiful and well appointed. The waiter was excellent and, when asked about allergies, my husband shared that he is allergic to onions. The chef came out and spoke to my husband and made an alfredo sauce for the pasta, instead of the marinara that normally comes with it because it had onions. This attention to detail will have us coming back! The food was outstanding and the evening was lovely!

We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday at Raisu, and we absolutely love this restaurant! It was the perfect spot for a special occasion. Hands down, their signature nigiri is the single best thing in Chicago—the taste and freshness are just amazing. We also fell in love with their hand rolls, which were incredible. Everything was so delicious and well-crafted that it is completely worth every penny. We can't wait to go back!

• Japanese • Portage Park
Booked 7 times today
Fork & Coin is both a destination restaurant and the place Portage Park has been missing. The menu takes real swings and lands them. Every plate we ordered was sharp, balanced, and clearly prepared with intent. The room is cozy, warm, and built for sharing, with a bar and patio that carry the same relaxed energy. Service was attentive without hovering. Five stars. Book it before the rest of the city catches on.
