The Spot
The Izakaya sits on the subterranean level of Momotaro, built to echo the Yokocho street scene of Tokyo — the tightly packed alleys of small bars and food stalls the city is known for. The shared-plates menu leans into that format.

Expect Nagoya-style tebasaki wings glazed in sweet soy-pepper and served with ranch sauce, a New Wave Tokyo Ramen built on shoyu chicken broth with pork and chicken chashu, and a scallop dish finished with kabosu and pickled cherries. The Momo Royale pushes further into crossover territory: a double-patty burger on a house-made bao bun with satsumaimo fries.

The Izakaya is part of Boka Restaurant Group, operating alongside Momotaro in the West Loop.
