Midosuji

The Loop · Japanese Community-sourced, unverified
📍 12 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603

Midosuji spent its first year as an eight-seat omakase counter inside the Chicago Athletic Association's old Milk Room space, then relaunched June 9, 2026 as something more casual and more fun: an a la carte handroll bar where chef-partner Brian Lockwood's team hands you each roll the moment it's rolled, not minutes later off a tray.

$$$$
The handroll format itself — chefs hand you each roll the moment it's rolled at a warm wooden bar, inside the historic Chicago Athletic Association building, from the Boka Restaurant Group team.

It's on the hotel's second floor, takes walk-ins alongside reservations, and keeps the Japanese small-plates menu tight around the handrolls rather than trying to be a second omakase room. Reviews since the relaunch run strong — 4.7 across roughly 40 reviews on OpenTable, with praise for the handrolls, service, and cocktails, plus a caution flagged for gluten-sensitive diners.

It isn't cheap: one reviewer's bill ran $320 for four people, which tracks with Boka Restaurant Group's usual price range. No happy hour or discount turned up in research.
