Akiro Hand Roll Bar

Food + DrinkRiver North · Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian) Community-sourced, unverified
📍 546 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60654

Akiro Hand Roll Bar is a deliberately small, counter-only concept from the team behind nearby Matilda — no tables, just a bar built around Japanese-Peruvian 'Nikkei' hand rolls and sushi, the same fusion tradition Matilda itself draws on.

$$

It's a tight, focused menu rather than a sprawling sushi restaurant, built for a quick, high-quality meal rather than a long dinner.

The River North location puts it a short walk from its sister restaurant, giving the same ownership group two different ways to serve the same culinary point of view in the same neighborhood.
