Lincoln Park's Edomae Sushi Room
Juno on Lincoln Avenue is Lincoln Park's quietly-disciplined Edomae sushi room — proper nigiri, considered tasting omakase, and the kind of small-room hospitality that has earned a fiercely loyal local following over the past decade.
The cooking is traditional Edomae sushi at proper standards: rice handled correctly, fresh fish from East Coast and Tokyo wholesalers, the considered hot-and-cold appetiser programme that defines a serious sushi room.
What to Order
Omakase when the chef is in — the kitchen will guide. Nigiri flights for à-la-carte ordering; chirashi at lunch. The sake list is short and considered.
The Counter
The counter is the seat to take. The chefs work directly across from the diners; the conversation is intimate without being forced.
Best Occasion: First Date
Juno is a quiet Lincoln Park first-date win. The counter format provides natural conversation; the cuisine provides built-in pacing; the room is intimate without being intimidating.
