Embrace the naturalistic, minimalist ambience as you savor the idea of laissez-faire as Chef Takashi Yagihashi fuses Japanese, American, and French elements into beautifully presented, exotic creations. Windy? Try the appropriate small hot plate, “Bad Hair Day” – a large shrimp wrapped in an Ohba leaf accompanied by sweet and spicy, signature “Sauce Chinois”. Still hungry? Roasted Duck breast and confit of leg with ginger-orange glaze, glazed pearl onions, and Kumquat marmalade is sure to please your palate. The green police will sleep soundly knowing that the chef favors sustainably fished seafood, local products, and no preservatives. Warming up Bucktown for less than a year, Takashi already boasts Chicago Magazine’s “Best New Restaurant” and is featured as one of ten national hot spots in this July’s Bon Appétit. Hours of Operation: Tue-Thu 5:30pm-10pm; Fri 5:30pm-10:30pm; Sat 5pm-10:30pm; Sun 5pm-9:30pm
