    As always, the food, drinks and service at Jimoto were excellent. Both the basic sushi rolls and specialty rolls were fresh and flavorful. Our server, Claudia was knowledgable and attentive. With the windows open to a beautiful evening, the dining room was very comfortable.

    The Chicago Fire roll and thousand crane cocktail were excellent. Skip the wagyu beef roll.

    Food is fantastic. Service was good too. But the dining room could use some work— the chairs are plastic and very short—not conducive to sitting for more than 30 minutes (and this is a 2 hour experience with the great drinks). Even my 5”5’ girls were complaining when we got up to leave!
    JimotoResponded on September 22, 2024
    Melanie, Thank you so much for taking the time to rate jimoto! We appreciate all of the support and feedback. We will work on the chairs and hopefully get that situated soon, its a work in progress :) So glad you enjoyed yourselves and we hope to see you again soon!

    The ambience was really nice with a clean modern design. The staff was nice and the maki was delicious. The wagyu nigiri was not very good though. Had no flavor and was a tad bit chewy. Everything else was really good.
