    "body": "**Mako** is a Japanese/Sushi restaurant in Chicago (731 W. Lake St.), with B.K. Park as chef.[^michelin2025]\n\n## Overview\n\nMICHELIN Guide lists Mako as a Japanese restaurant with chef B.K. Park's omakase at its core. The restaurant's entrance is unassuming, and the guide contrasts this inconspicuous exterior with the sushi experience inside. The official address is 731 W. Lake St.[^michelin2025] The guide describes a spot marked by nothing but a lone plaque — tough to spot; once inside, the din of traffic fades and just 22 seats savor the smartly considered omakase. The chef and itamae showcase their style through unique adornments like sudachi juice and sesame-pepper soy.\n\n## Dishes \u0026 Highlights\n\n- Braised abalone\n- Black cod with burnt scallion ponzu\n- Chawanmushi stocked with mushroom and crab — the guide calls it \"the essence of elegance\"\n- Sweet potato with whiskey caramel for dessert[^michelin2025]\n\n## Honors\n\nThe MICHELIN Guide Chicago 2023 listed Mako as a one-star restaurant, with the official list giving the address as 731 W. Lake St., Chicago, 60661. This records the historical 2023-edition star and does not necessarily reflect the restaurant's current rating.[^guide2023pdf]\n\n## Practical Information\n\n- Address: 731 W. Lake St., Chicago, IL 60661\n- Hours: Wed–Fri 5:45 pm–10:30 pm, Sat–Sun 4:00 pm–10:30 pm; closed Mon–Tue\n- Phone: +1 312-988-0687\n- Website: https://www.makochicago.com/\n- Price: $$$$ (per MICHELIN Guide)\n- Seating: just 22 seats\n\n[^michelin2025]: MICHELIN Guide, “Mako,” restaurant page, last reviewed 2025-11-18, https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/illinois/chicago_1174456/restaurant/mako\n[^guide2023pdf]: MICHELIN Guide, “MICHELIN Guide 2023 - New York, Chicago and Washington - A new three-MICHELIN-Star restaurant,” linked PDF, pp. 3-5.",
