I brought my wife here for her birthday. Years ago, we first met here as friends, so it felt special to come back to the place where our story in Chicago began. We’ll definitely be back.

Exceptional as always. We have been coming to visit Pink and Chef Jeff from shortly after they opened (or had a liquor license) and try to dine here every time we come to Chicago…. and the team never disappoints. We frequently dine at Michelin rated restaurants and dollar for dollar the meal here stands toe to toe with the best sushi restaurants in the US (in our opinion). Pristine otoro and toro, the A5 nigiri, truffled futomaki and maimo shouldn’t be missed either. We can’t wait to hear back in a few months. Keep up the great work.

Exceptional(8)

$$$$

• Izakaya • Portage Park

Booked 2 times today

Fork & Coin is both a destination restaurant and the place Portage Park has been missing. The menu takes real swings and lands them. Every plate we ordered was sharp, balanced, and clearly prepared with intent. The room is cozy, warm, and built for sharing, with a bar and patio that carry the same relaxed energy. Service was attentive without hovering. Five stars. Book it before the rest of the city catches on.
