The team did an excellent job with my engagement party. Susan curated a great experience and Adrian the manager executed it perfectly. Booze Box is one of those spots where the food, ambiance, and service are all top tier. Highly recommend checking this spot out - but make a reservation as it gets packed and reaches capacity.

The Ecuador roll and the chef prepared nigiri rolls were excellent - the marinated salmon and especially the scallop was perfectly tender and excellent flavors. The Ecuador roll was good but perhaps that’s the best roll among the rest on the menu. I also enjoyed the Miso soup a lot, it was deeply flavored. I liked the ambiance as well, but not sure the value of this restaurant holds up over time, I found this to be very expensive for the amount of food you get.

First of all, I would like to recommend the restaurant to adjust their reservation system. We were told to go to this place by recommendation and it was very difficult to book a table on a Saturday afternoon. After getting the reservation and arriving at the place, it was not busy at all. On the other hand, I have to say that the food is amazing. From the starters and the nigiris, to the rolls, we enjoyed everything we ordered.

Sushidokku – A Hidden Gem in the West Loop! Sushidokku is one of those places where the price tag feels totally justified because the food is next-level. A solid 10/10 for sure! Let’s talk about the drinks first – the pear up is a game-changer. Crisp, refreshing, and just what you need to start the meal off right. As for the food, the takoyaki (octopus) was packed with flavor, and the hamachi with ponzu sauce is so fresh, we had to order it twice. The Ecuador Roll is massive and definitely worth every bite – you’re going to want that on your table. The tataki tuna was good but the japanese mustard has a kick I was not expecting. And do yourself a favor and save room for the matcha cheesecake… it’s a showstopper. Service? Hands down the best waitress we’ve had in a while. Super attentive and genuinely made the experience feel special. The location is perfect for a date or a small gathering with friends in the West Loop. The ambiance is relaxed but chic – soft lighting, great music, and a vibe that’s not too loud, so you can actually enjoy your meal. One thing to note – the place is small and gets crowded fast, so reservation is definitely recommended. In fact, getting a table can be insanely difficult (we booked a month ahead), so if you’re planning to visit, definitely book beforehand. It’s worth the effort, but you’ll want to plan if you're coming for a few days. It’s also on the pricier side – expect to spend around 100 per person, which includes a bottle of sake. But trust me, it’s worth every penny for the quality of food and the overall experience. A heads-up: there’s just one girl’s bathroom, so there might be a wait. The food came out super fast, which was a nice surprise, but it did get a bit chilly – we had to stay inside instead of enjoying the outdoor seating that day. Overall, Sushidokku is definitely worth the splurge. Amazing food, incredible drinks, and an atmosphere that’ll make you want to stay a little longer.

Right in the heart of the city off Randolph and you will find some of the best eats!!!! Incredibly well run and we loved everything we had!!! Hats off to the management and I would give this place 30 stars if I could!!

Seriously some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. I don’t really enjoy a heavy taste of alcohol, which I feel like most cocktails I get always have, but these were delicious with the perfect balance of flavors. Totally worth the price. The sushi was so good too! Service was amazing, and the host that was working Sunday evening was exceptional. I was only in Chicago for a few days, but I’ll definitely be back when I come again!

If you love sushi and find yourself in Chicago, look no further than Sushi Dokku! One of the coolest concepts I have been to in recent memory. We made reservations for the Booze Box downstairs below the main dining area. It is intimate and dark. Booth seating surrounds the bar and a DJ booth sets in the corner for the weekend events. The menu is full of surprises and you need to try a little bit of everything. The salad prepared our taste buds by waking them up. We then got punched with flavor and heat by the Hot Daisy roll. Then soothed by the dumplings only to be mesmerized by the unmatched flavor and perfection of the lamb chops. Do not sleep on these chops! Eat them now! Enjoy!

Great experience here for restaurant week 2025! The maki and nigiri were amazing and the cocktails were very tasty. I would absolutely come back here to try their full menu!
