Schlow compares scoring Watson from Morimoto to the Yankees snagging Babe Ruth from the Red Sox—so yes, expectations are high. The chef spent about a decade between Stephen Starr’s famed Philadelphia sushi spot and upscale Japanese restaurant Momotaro in Chicago, where he also led the kitchen. While Nama-Ko boasts fish flown in from Japan and classics like tempura and homemade miso soup, much of the lengthy menu bucks tradition.
Once the restaurant is up and running, the team plans to add a six-seat omakase counter for creative tastings. Down the line, they’re also planning a “disco dim sum brunch” with a mix of small plates and sushi, table service and roving carts. In the meantime, guests can indulge in pastry chef Alex Levin’s ice creams and soft-serve, served in decadent sundae form like coconut-mango-yuzu with lychee sauce and crunchy masa crumbs.
