Union Sushi + Barbeque Bar

Kicked off Chicago Restaurant Week 2013 with dinner at Union Sushi + Barbeque Bar in the River North neighborhood. I love the vibe of this place. A very modern way of dining with traditional Japanese cuisine with hip hop playing in the background. My friend and I enjoyed our first meal of restaurant week, you really can't go wrong with Japanese flavors and its cooking. I welcomed the twists the kitchen put on their plates.
Here are our menu choices: Miso Soup; Truffled Tuna with truffle oil, avocado, parmesan, chili fresco and wonton chips; Seared Cobia Carpaccio with orange, grapefruit, yuzu olive oil, dashi salt, ginger, sesame, onion and chive; Pork Loin in coconut milk, enoki mushrooms, fried onions, green onion and Japanese curry peanut sauce; Surf and Turf of filet of beef, jumbo shrimp, sweet potato cream and crispy potato; Killer Yuzu Pie with a coconut biscuit crust and fresh whipped cream; and Pumpkin Mochi cake
