"I 've had a fair amount of sushi and Japanese food in Chicago as well as other cities. However, we decided to come to Macku to try their omakase since we couldn 't pass up on their $25 off deal on Thursdays. They offer a few different types of omakase starting at $75 per person. I don 't remember exactly what each one was called but there was a nigiri, the standard, signature series/chef 's special, and an unlimited option. We went with the signature, which was $125 per person (ended up being $100 with the discount). Let me say that it 's definitely not your traditional omakase, it 's a bit more fusion-y. Unfortunately we were seated at a table so we weren 't able to see the chef prepare each course. As for the food, presentation wins over taste. Everything came out beautifully prepared but I truly only enjoyed maybe 3 out of the 7 courses. After spending $300 for our meal drinks, we weren 't really blown away and felt like something was missing. We tried the Japanese white strawberry for dessert, which was probably the highlight of our meal but also came with a whopping price tag for a single strawberry. Makes sense though since we were informed that it is very rare and only about 10% of these milky white berries effectively grow to size. Aside from the food, the service was outstanding. Our waitress, Joyce, was really engaging knowledgeable about the menu and did an amazing job explaining each course."
