Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises has finally transformed that extra room inside Intro Chicago into a sushi bar which opens today. Enter Naoki Sushi, the new restaurant that gives LEYE's long-time sushi chef Naoki Nakashima a new dance floor to showcase his moves. This is what became of LEYE's planned collaboration with the folks from Juno.
It's a small intimate space inside the room that once housed L2O's private dining room. There's 50 seats, three booths in the back for larger groups, and three high tops near the bar. They're aiming for warm and comfy here, a more casual atmosphere than that of Intro. The color scheme's the same, and don't miss the hanging jellyfish.
