“Nice ambiance”
“The management was rude, snapped at us and said he'd made up for lousy service by not charging us for the food we never received or the cake we no longer wanted!”
“The waiter provided excellent recommendations in our wine selection.”
“They removed the sushi (which we ate 1 piece) and the rock from the bill because of our bad experience which I felt still didn?”
“seated w/out menus, waited 10 min for waiter to realize he never greeted us or took our order; 1 appetizer came soon; 1 came right before entrees; 1 came AFTER entrees; steak ordered med-well arrived bloody inside;returned for re-cooking & came back sti”
“Its my favorite sushi restaurant in town and I always take advantage of the upscale dining lounge upstairs.”
“It has a nice trendy feel to it, but I would never return; nor would I suggest the restaurant to anyone else.”
“Our waiter was not attentive.”

“The wait was long, the waitstaff rivaled Ed Debevic's (not in a good way), and the food was mediocre at best and in portions the size of your thumb.”View Less

Indignant Rude Wait Staff and the Sushi was a C-. This is the type of place that a bunch of mindless Lemmings would go to be seen (ala Paris Hilton). Japonais is an embarassment as a Chicago restaurant. I've given many a second chance to a restaurant, but you literally couldn't pay me to go back to this place.…
Rude service and overpriced. Japonais was my favorite restaurant when I first moved to Chicago from New York in 07. It has slowly been going down hill and has what New Yorkers call a "bridge and tunnel" crowd. The bathrooms are disgusting, the wait staff is rude and entitled, bus boys on the other hand are great. Food is not bad but sort of yesterday's news. The staff rush to take plates away. The crowd is filled with out of towners or large parties looking for the in place and the bar scene is like a bad club. Thumbs down.…
Everything about Japonais is AMAZING.. I have been to Japonais 5 times since i have moved to Chicago and every time I can justify money spent on really good food. The Salmon Japonais and the Chilean sea bass appetizer are my favorites on the menu. The sushi of course is always good. If you have a wait, you can go downstairs to the lounge and have a drink and order apps. good place for groups or date night. Yum!…
night club or culinary experience?. Cuisine remained inventive, superbly executed and presented, but the ambience and service had deteriorated considerably since our last dinner a year ago. The very loud music made it impossible to have a conversation even with the closest neighbor and considerably detracted from the culinary experience. Glasses and silverware vibrated with the music! Service was hurried and superficial, management seemed devoted to the night club ambience and did not seriously care about our repeated complaints. I was sorry to see the efforts and creativity of the culinary team ruined by the management team. This new "ambience" did not correspond to my memory of past experience here, nor to the description and press release ("Intimate setting"?) in the restaurant website. Seemed disrespectful not only to the customer, but also to the cooks and their team.…
