About this place Wakamono

Wakamono is a mainstream sushi restaurant at 3317 North Broadway in Lakeview, a block east of the Halsted Street gay bars in Northalsted (Boystown). It is listed as gay-friendly, and given the location a good share of its diners are from the neighbourhood's LGBTQ+ community. The menu covers sushi, rolls and Japanese small plates in a traditionally styled room. Hours on file are 16:00 to 23:00 every day, so it works for dinner before the bars. Google reviewers rate it about 4.5 from roughly 450 reviews. Check wakamonosushi.com or call (773) 296-6800.

Great vibes. Good food and next door to Wangs. The sushi is fresh and the beans they give you in the beginning are diving.

Wakamono is a wonderful spot to enjoy sushi, miso, signature cocktails, and apps! The ambiance is peaceful and calm yet cool and a vibe at the same time. The staff were really personable, kind, and helpful. I highly recommend it to those wanting to relax and enjoy delicious rolls and high quality fish.

I love the sushi here, it’s really top quality. The only issue with it is the pieces truly are too big for one bite, kind of ruining the experience. The bar connected it, Wangs, is amazing too! I suggest showing up about 30 mins before your reservation to enjoy a drink there. The staff is very friendly, and go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience.
