The vibe

Japanese okonomiyaki and teppan restaurant on Lake Street in the West Loop. The '$5 Happy Hour Specials' are the most affordable in Fulton Market — $5 highballs, sake, wine, and draft beer, plus $5–$6 vegetable small plates. Tue–Thu only, just one hour window, but excellent value for a quality Japanese kitchen.
