Gaijin by Chef Paul Virant is Chicago’s first okonomiyaki restaurant, offering both Hiroshima and Osaka styles of the savory Japanese pancake. A self-described gaijin, or “outsider” in Japanese, Virant playfully embraces this perspective and honors traditional preparations and techniques, as well as his well-known passion for pickling and preserving.

Designed to deliver a lively and interactive culinary experience, the 60-seat space is anchored by a custom 12-foot griddle and chef’s counter and offers individual Hiroshima teppan griddles for table service.

The dessert menu features kakigori, a shaved ice dessert, along with mochi donuts and other Japanese-inspired treats. The bar program showcases highballs and a focused selection of beer – including a Moody Tongue-Gaijin collaboration house lager, sake, Japanese whisky, and wine.

We can’t wait to see you at Gaijin!

Outstanding experience at Gaijin. Our server was knowledgeable and helped us navigate the menu items we were not familiar with. Everything we had was delicious, including the cocktails. The only thing that we didn’t love was how close the tables were to each other. Fortunately, it wasn’t an issue, as no one was seated next to us until the very end of our meal. We will be back!

Love it a lot! Japanese street food is great! We sat at the bar, seeing all the dishes getting prepared. Definitely one to consider again.

I’ve been going to Gaijin since it opened, and it’s always been wonderful. The food and service are really good, but what I really like about Gaijin is it’s one of the few restaurants left in Fulton Market that feels like it’s doing something progressive without taking itself so seriously.

Great food, very different from any Asian cuisine, very specific and nice. The place is small, always full with great atmosphere. The servis is very efficient, helpful and fast. Great experience.
