Itoko Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
During my recent visit to this restaurant, I was
During my recent visit to this restaurant, I was immediately impressed by its decor and the service. The ambiance, characterized by tasteful decorations and a welcoming atmosphere, set a promising stage for the evening. Additionally, the staff were attentive and polite, contributing positively to our overall experience. However, the dining experience was marred by the erratic timing of our food arrival. My friends and I encountered a puzzling situation where we had to eat at different times because our dishes were served randomly. This disruption in meal synchrony detracted from the communal joy of dining together. Regarding the food, our opinions were mixed. The ramen was disappointing, falling short of expectations in both flavor and texture. On a brighter note, the maki and rolls were generally good, offering a redeeming factor to our culinary journey. The nigiri presented a hit-or-miss scenario; while some pieces were enjoyable, others lacked the quality and finesse one would anticipate. A notable absence on the menu was salads, a simple yet versatile option that we missed. Another aspect that detracted from our comfort was the seating arrangement. The proximity of the seats to one another meant that privacy was compromised. We found ourselves inadvertently becoming part of neighboring conversations, further amplified by the loud music. This lack of space and the overpowering audio made for a less relaxing dining environment than desired. In conclusion, while there were elements of the restaurant that we appreciated, the overall experience left us feeling that there are better dining options available. The combination of inconsistent food quality, awkward meal timing, and the crowded seating arrangement means I am unlikely to return. For those considering a visit, it might be worth exploring other venues to find a dining experience that more consistently meets expectations.

It was busy when we went, the service was great but the food was overpriced and a bit underwhelming. The sushi was good but some of the Asian fusion menu items were a bit too simple for a higher end price tag.
This place is an understated gem.
I had nigiri, sashimi, miso soup and the Tantan Ramen. OMG! Deliciooouuussssss!!!!! The ambience was light, kind and unpretentious. The service was excellent and the music was good. What more could a girl ask for?? This may be my new favorite ramen spot. YUUUUMMMM!!!
Came here for brunch and loved everything.
My friend and I decided to split a few items and we devoured everything especially the pancakes (they stole the show). We also had their egg soufflé and spicy tuna dip. Both were equally delicious. Will have to return soon to try their sushi as well.

The ambiance is very aesthetic -- very modern & chic! I would highly recommend the Ebi Tom Yum handroll if you want to love Tom Yum! Super flavorful & delicious!
the service brought the rating so far low.
We made reservations for 8:00 and didn't get seated until 9pm!! To put this into reference, they close at 9pm -_- We had the restaurant week menu which included appetizers, main course and dessert. We had to order all at once. Even after we put in the order they came back at the end of the dinner and told us they ran out of the desserts that we ordered. It was an upsetting experience. In terms of the food, the only items recognizable were the nigiri and sashimi which was exceptional.
Loved spending an afternoon lunch here.
They were serving the brunch menu when I walked in. Everything sounded delicious but just wanted to try some sushi rolls so we got 2. They were delicious, fresh and filling. Light ambiance in the restaurant. Service was great and accommodating to food allergies within the party and our server recommended a roll off the brunch menu to ensure we'd both be able to enjoy the selections. Looking forward to going back and trying other menu items.
If rating on food quality alone, definitely 5 stars.
Almost every bite was delicious. (The TCD was a bit oversold in the tribune review; I wouldn't get it again. But everything else we tried was great, especially the hand rolls.) Service was almost too attentive when we got there (with dishes coming out together instead of staggered) but became extremely slow as it became busy. And it was a tad overpriced, we spent $350, and I went home and ate a slice of pizza.
Such a beautiful restaurant with a delicious brunch! I
Such a beautiful restaurant with a delicious brunch! I enjoyed everything I ordered in the gorgeous ambiance here.
5/5 on everything.
Sasha took care of us tonight and was so knowledgeable on everything + was loaded with suggestions (even though we could have eaten everything). For being so full the place really still was intimate and easy to hold a conversation in! We sat at low tops in the middle (where the action was) and both the chair and the booth were very spacious and cozy. Even though chair side gets a bad wrap Itoko makes it better by adding mirrors behind the booth side so now both chair and booth get to people as a team #couples #power #creeping Okay. Food. Wow. Blue fin tuna was our favorite and though we only ordered 2 pieces we want to come back and just order like 10 to share.. the mushroom/roe toppings were mind blowing. Get them. Pls? I was Surprised most with how much I loved the shishito peppers. The shredded fish flakes melted like Parmesan- I.. mowed through them. 5/5 Drinks were excellent, for sure go for the dragons milk cocktail if you're drinking, otherwise if you're sober the soy sauce was good enough to drink. Service was top tier and everything was absolutely worth it for a wonderful night out. Can't wait to come back again soon

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm. This got somehow approved by AT, and a customer bought this from me for 6pm. I want to cancel this listing and refund customer , but there is no way of doing this ! This is so frustrating and making me lose hope on AT. Can someone help me please?

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!

I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!

You can only deposit $50 at a time until you earn the “Sales and Low Refund Medal” I believe. Im new to this as well but the ability to deposit more money at once and increase your amount of listings comes with that medal.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!
