Situated in Lakeview's iconic Southport Corridor, Itoko is a neighborhood Japanese and robata restaurant from Gene Kato, Executive Chef of Momotaro. “Itoko” means cousin in Japanese, and refers to the…
Dined in 3x here bc of the amazing drinks, specials, and service, but especially as a pick up order, Itoko also offers great value for supreme quality sushi and several shareable small plates or sides that function as perfect reasonably priced mid-sized meals for one to-go. Beef Chahan* is my most recent favorite. Fast, seamless , and A+++ for a unique but accessible flavor.

The tako kato octopus is very very small, tough and rubbery!!!
Pics are misleading unfortunately...
The store didn't care to send any ginger or wasabi and package was leaking.
I'm not ordering again.

I ordered take out and was disappointed.
The "Jewel Jewel Bako “Chirashi Don Style”* came as pictured, all smudged together. Not only the food was all over the box, the meal was missing Nori/seaweed sheets, the sashimi pieces were much smaller than in my previous orders and white fish pieces contained bones!!
Also had Miso: the Abura age/fried tofu and mushrooms were already inside the soup instead of separately like in previous orders. Nigiri Set** - the fish pieces were very thin not worth $36
Miso soup was good, I like the fried tofu.
Dont think ill order here again, too expensive for what you get.

I've ordered before and it was good, the salmon this time was not of the same quality and there was chunks of looked like burnt fried meat bits. The miso soup was very salty. Cucumbers were yummy as usual.

Ordered the katsu and got something barely edible. No panko, no crust, just dark leathery slabs that had clearly been fried, sat around, and thrown back in the oil. Tough, greasy, and dry at the same time.
