Ottimo per un'occasione speciale

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.

Great experience at izakaya Momotaro. The $45 Restaurant Week deal was an amazing value—we left full and satisfied. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was friendly. Definitely a spot worth revisiting!

We were seated ~25 minutes after our reservation time, so we sat at the bar and had drinks while we waited. Then our server came and took our drink order and then never came back. So by the time we got food, we had already been for at least an hour. The food was really great, just wish it came sooner as we had not eaten anything prior because we were looking forward to trying Izakaya.
The Izakaya at MomotaroRisposta inviata il giorno 6 febbraio 2025
Hi Jeanette, Thanks for sharing your honest feedback! We're stoked you loved the food and that you were excited to try Izakaya. That said, we're really sorry about the long wait and the lapse in our service—being seated late and waiting for your drinks and food isn’t the experience we aim to deliver. Your feedback helps us fine-tune our service, and we’re working on improvements to make sure your next visit is as smooth and enjoyable as our dishes. We hope to see you again soon for a more on-point experience! Kanpai!, Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya

This was my first time here and and it won’t be my last. I’m happy I planned my reservation around restaurant week to try the various options on the menu. You can’t go wrong with anything you order from the food to the drinks. And the bonus was karaoke night on a Monday! What a way to start to start the work week!

And yes, Monday night karaoke is always a blast! 🙌 Thank you for spending your evening with us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more great food, drinks, and good times!

The Izakaya at Momotaro offers a unique dining experience that truly transports you to the bustling streets of Japan. The ambiance is simply stunning, with dim lighting, intricate decor, and an atmosphere that feels both cozy and vibrant. The service was attentive and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable evening. One standout dish was their burger—without a doubt, one of the best in Chicago. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it’s a must-try for anyone visiting. The miso soup was another highlight, with a solid, comforting flavor that sets a strong tone for the meal. While their signature cocktails didn’t quite match my personal taste, I can see how others might find them to be a perfect complement to the overall experience.
