3325 N Southport Ave
The restaurant will have a large robata — the original robata grill from Kato’s time working at Sumi — for grilling skewers of negima chicken thigh, shiitake mushrooms, salmon teriyaki or beef tsukune sliders. It will also be used for chicken teriyaki and a whole branzino in a shiso and shichimi crust.
Kato also puts a unique take on Japanese favorites like ramen with a chicken broth with spicy pork, wagyu beef chahan, chirashi don with Kaluga caviar, foie gras and pork gyoza, and crispy fried chicken wings, according to Boka.
To cater to nearby families, Kato created three healthy bento box kids meals, which have sushi, katsu or yakitori don, according to Boka.
