About
Carrying the legacy of the Konishi family to Chicago's North Shore, Kamehachi Northbrook has operated for more than 25 years as the most trusted Japanese restaurant in the Northbrook corridor. The menu mirrors the Old Town location's commitment to clean, traditional Japanese flavours—nigiri and sashimi using daily fresh fish, hand-rolled maki, light tempura, and glazed teriyaki—executed in a relaxed suburban dining room. As a branch of Chicago's oldest sushi institution, founded by Japanese-American Marion Konishi in 1967, the Northbrook location inherits a quality standard and cultural integrity that pure-play suburban sushi bars rarely match. OpenTable describes it as 'family owned & operated for over 25 years,' reflecting the loyalty it has earned from North Shore residents across generations.
