Kitaro Grill and Sushi Lounge

John Yi, the owner and executive chef of KITARO, combines his 30 years experience in traditional Japanese cuisine with Asian fusion influences to create modern, healthy and unique flavors in every dish. The Signature dishes include Seared Tuna, flash seared sesame pepper encrusted yellow fin tuna served with avocado, onion and cherry tomato set in citrus soy; Japanese seared steak, thinly sliced N.Y. steak served with spring mix and Japanese yuzu sauce and Chilean Sea Bass with sweet miso. The Sushi Bar features a variety of fresh fish and an extensive selections of Specialty Rolls, among which, the "Forbidden Rice", "Lobster Hot Mama", "Black Belt" and "Hangover" are some of the must have. The Sushi is fresh as is all the seafood. The lounge offers a variety of Asian inspired Martinis, full liquor, sake & wine list. The atmosphere is elegant, soothing, and romantic, great place for couples, families & business meetings. We would love to provide you with a memorable dining experience!

"The sushi and drinks were very good, especially the pepperjack. Our waiter was great! The only surprise was the prices were comparable to one of favorite high end sushi restaurants in Chicago. A dinner for two with drinks came to Around $130. Should come down a bit on prices."

"My husband was hesitant if a sushi place would be better in Lemont than Orland Park or on the same level and just a longer dirve. He was surprised, satisfied and raved. Wonderful menu selections and it was difficult to decide what to try. Will be back."
