    Jimoto is a true gem in Winnetka, and Kai's service elevates the entire experience to something extraordinary. Every time I visit, I'm reminded why this place stands out from the rest. Kai's attention to detail and genuine warmth make dining here feel less like a restaurant visit and more like being welcomed into someone's home. Their consistent excellence in service - always attentive without being intrusive - shows a real understanding of what great hospitality means. What makes this place special isn't just the delicious food (though that's certainly part of it) - it's the way Kai and the team create an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. They remember preferences, make thoughtful recommendations, and ensure every guest feels like a regular. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines excellent Japanese cuisine with truly outstanding service, Jimoto is the place, and if Kai is your server, you're in for a treat. Consistently the best indeed.

    Great food. Just a little loud , sounds echo - maybe some sound dampening . The seats by windows are much quieter. Other wise a great experience with food and and service.

    Inexperienced staff, over-priced dishes, incomprehensible menu. With many open tables, sat us next to loud, annoying, over-indulgent mother and toddler. Unpleasant dining experience totally.

    What a wonderful meal! The salmon sashimi was SO fresh and some of the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot). The Chicago Fire roll was super flavorful and substantial. Great food, service and ambiance. Very highly recommend!
