Momotaro is a multi-level Japanese restaurant located in the West Loop. Led by Executive Chef Gene Kato, Momotaro has had the honor of being named Restaurant of the Year in both Chicago Magazine and Chicago Social. Under Kato’s leadership the restaurant has come to define the balance between traditional values and modern technique, blending the two in a science and art that has resulted in an authentic, innovative menu. The restaurant, designed by the world renowned AvroKO, also contains the subterranean Izakaya at Momotaro (a laid back, lively lower-level bar and restaurant reminiscent of the neon-lit haunts of trendy Tokyo neighborhoods) and an elegant second floor private space that overlooks the main dining room.

The Izakaya is located on the subterranean level of Momotaro. The Izakaya and its shared-plates pub-inspired menu echoes the Yokocho street scene of Tokyo. Narrow lounge-inspired ‘alleys’ around a central bar bedecked with hand-painted Japanese menus, moody neon lights, and vintage Tokyo street signs set the scene for the Izakaya’s direct nod to Tokyo’s most famous post-war black markets. Dark, energetic, and ripe with expectation, the Izakaya additionally offers a 30-seat bar featuring crafted cocktails, sakes, and a quality selection of Japanese whiskeys. Parties and programming are no strangers to the Izakaya, where a rotating selection of events, including Monday Night Karaoke, feel right at home in this lively lower-level atmosphere.

The middle eastern menu is So delicious. Staff was attentive and wine wise. I always leave ABA happy. Minor feedback: I wish the system for delivering food and drinks to the table was smoother. Food came out before cocktails. We had to ask to box food before the next course. Wine came out slowly.

As someone who also works in the industry, the dining experience was exceptional, with delectable cuisine and a pleasant ambiance. The beverages were also of high quality. While the service was generally satisfactory, there were a few instances where it fell short. On three separate occasions, incorrect food was delivered to our table. Additionally, the waitress’s attentiveness was lacking, as evidenced by the infrequent visits to our table, and kept missing items that we ordered. Despite these shortcomings, the food runners provided excellent explanations and assistance, which I commend them for.
