Restaurant of the week

Japonais
Location: 600 West Chicago Ave


The restaurant for this issue is the romantic and tastefully chic Japanese restaurant Japonais. Japonais' modern contemporary setting has high ceilings and red sofas which are completely comfortable.
Their menu offers a large variety of entrees including their unique Sushi rolls.

We ordered:
-seaweed salad
-chef specialties sushi rolls
-crispy shrimp and salmon.

As a main course we ordered:
-the rock (our favorite dish of all). The Rock is thin sliced marinated new york strip cooked on a hot rock presentation. You can pair this with white rice,
-vegetables or any of the sides.
-crab cake which was simple but tasty


If it’s your first time here, you should definitely go downstairs and visit Japonais lounge. It is just as chic as the restaurant chic and also offers a dinner menu with some changes to it. While eating dinner here, you are able to listen to great music, pour down great drinks and enjoy the lake view.

The dessert menu offers you a delicious Chocolate Coffee Doughnuts (for all you chocolate lovers), they are perfectly shaped circular doughnuts, with hot chocolate placed on the inside. This tasty desert comes with a green tea semi-fredo. If you’re not that into chocolate then you should try the Apple Toban Yaki, or the Passion Fruit Tart.
