I dined at Nakama with my finacee about a month ago. I had been to a few other hibachi style restaurants, but I was really impressed with Nakama! We started with the lettuce wraps, they were delicious! We both had a chicken and shrimp entree and it was just fantastic! The smokeless grill was really impressive too (didn't come home smelling like smoke!) We also thought the atmosphere was very romantic and cozy. The service was also fantastic, and we can't wait to go back again!!! Yes, parking can be a pain on the South Side, but if you are willing to walk a bit, park a street or two away and just walk over.
