#kalvineats🍣 （🇺🇸 andersonville • chicago ）tanoshii andersonville 🍣 omakase  ⭐ mike’s special rolls • salmon truffle • toro truffle • fresh wasabi 🍰 banana split tanoshii andersonville is a neighborhood sushi spot known for its fresh nigiri, sashimi, lunch specials, and chef mike’s creative specials. this visit, we left it up to the chef with the omakase experience. the omakase started with fish and chips, a seared tuna salad, and chef mike’s creations. the real standout for me was the mike’s special rolls, easily some of the best specialty rolls i’ve had. the salmon truffle with chili truffle honey was absolutely delicious. every roll had a great balance of flavors, generous cuts of fish, and just the right amount of rice. don’t skip dessert either. the banana split roll was such a fun finish, new york cheesecake, banana, rice krispies, wrapped in soy paper and topped with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and strawberry. it looks like sushi but eats like dessert, with a surprisingly balanced combination of flavors and textures. hosted by @tanoshii.chicago 📍 5547 n clark st, chicago, il 60640 ☎️ +1 773 878 6886 🔗 tanoshiiandersonville.com #kalvineats🇺🇸chicago #andersonville #chicagosushi #chicagojapanesefood andersonville eats • chicago sushi • omakase chicago • chicago japanese food • chicago restaurants

The staff was wonderfully personal and polite while staying professional. They were fun to laugh with and talk to. Never had to ask for a water refill, the dishes were prepared with care and skill, everything tasted unique and had its own flavor profile. A great experience for those looking to try chef Mike’s cuisine. I highly recommend Omakase, and this place takes special occasions seriously and makes you feel truly welcomed and appreciated. Thanks all!
