The finishing touches before it makes its way across the counter.

Every garnish, every detail, every bite considered.

Now it’s your turn.

A little smoke, a lot of flavor.

Chef Mariano’s white anchovy handroll brings together house-smoked anchovy, smoked applewood, smoked tomato sauce, and crisp textures in a bite that feels right at home this time of year.

Think of it as the flavors of spring and summer cookouts, reimagined at the handroll bar.

Anago or Unagi? Chef Mariano breaks it down. 🍣

Two styles, two flavor profiles, and the kind of details that make every bite at Yokocho feel intentional. From texture to preparation, it’s all part of the experience behind the handroll bar.

Which one are you choosing?

Midweek plans handled. 🍣

A Handroll in one hand, another round on the way, and a table you accidentally stay at for hours. The kind of dinner that turns a regular weeknight into something a little more memorable.

Meet us at the Handroll bar.

Some things are scarier than horror movies.

Luckily, dinner at Yokocho isn’t one of them.

The spicy deviled egg sando everyone’s been talking about. 🍳

Layers of soft milk bread, creamy deviled egg, greens, and just the right amount of heat, all finished with the kind of detail that makes it unmistakably Yokocho.

Recently featured in Chicago Magazine and now officially on your must-order list. Link in bio to check it out.

One of our vegetarian friendly favorites, explained by the chef himself. 🎙️

Baby arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano from Parma, daikon, truffle oil, and fresh lemon juice layered into a handroll that’s light, crisp, and packed with flavor. Fresh, bright, and still giving that perfect crunch in every bite.

Proof that simple ingredients can still steal the show.

Patio season has arrived at Yokocho.

Warm nights, low lighting, cocktails in hand, and the sound of conversation drifting through the patio long after sunset.

The kind of atmosphere you settle into and never want to leave.

From our chefs’ hands to yours.

Each handroll prepared in the moment, passed across the counter, and meant to be enjoyed exactly as it’s served—fresh, warm, and full of intention.

Take your seat, and let us take care of the rest.

Trying to be responsible but the voices in our head keep saying “one more handroll.”

And maybe a few nigiri… a sando… dumplings… you get it.

A better way to start the weekend.

Our Toki Highball, made with one of the only machines in Chicago, creates an ultra-crisp, perfectly carbonated pour that sets it apart from anything else.

Light, refreshing, and made to order.
