About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
A Modern Izakaya with Tokyo Edge and Chicago Soul.

Hiro Izakaya brings a bold modern take on the Japanese izakaya to Chicago. Inspired by Tokyo’s spirit of tradition-meets-innovation, the menu spans live fire robata dishes, inventive handrolls, flavor-packed small plates, and sweets with edge. Hiro is a space where flavor, rhythm, and hospitality come together — laid-back, but dialed-in. Come to eat, drink, connect, and stay awhile.

    Cool vibes. The staff was great. My only complaint was my burger came out well done. I was looking forward to trying this burger and unfortunately it was wayyyy overcooked. I’ll give it another go, might not have been a good night for the kitchen.

    Firstly, they were so accommodating as I didn’t realize that I was 30 minutes late to our reservation 🤓. But they just went ahead and sat us without giving us any fuss. The food was amazing and made for such a fun meal! The ambiance only adds to how cool this place is. Highly recommend.

    I was hoping to order the truffle hamachi carpaccio and short rib noodles, which were no longer on the menu, but everything we did order was delicious 😋

    The food was amazing - great for a duo or a group of people to share a few things from each section. The flavors and portions were perfection. The Wagyu Robata was insanely tender - you cannot pass that up. We tried each hand roll and the Short Rib Robata - I’d order it all again. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and friendly- truly top notch. We happened to come in on a comedy night, which was incredibly fun and had great audience participation with all 3 main comedians. Loved it. We heard they were planning to incorporate more sushi in the menu offerings, so I’ll be going back for that and a night of karaoke! Would do again 100%.

    Beautiful dishes with exceptional taste and seasoning. Cocktails were on point. Our server, Eric, was fun and energetic and guided us thru the menu with some great recommendations. Spoke with Chef Luis who was clearly so passionate about this restaurant and it shows in his food. The whole vibe of the restaurant was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening
