Gaijin by Chef Paul Virant is Chicago’s first okonomiyaki restaurant, offering both Hiroshima and Osaka styles of the savory Japanese pancake. A self-described gaijin, or “outsider” in Japanese, Virant playfully embraces this perspective and honors traditional preparations and techniques, as well as his well-known passion for pickling and preserving.

Designed to deliver a lively and interactive culinary experience, the 60-seat space is anchored by a custom 12-foot griddle and chef’s counter and offers individual Hiroshima teppan griddles for table service.

The dessert menu features kakigori, a shaved ice dessert, along with mochi donuts and other Japanese-inspired treats. The bar program showcases highballs and a focused selection of beer – including a Moody Tongue-Gaijin collaboration house lager, sake, Japanese whisky, and wine.

We can’t wait to see you at Gaijin!

I had a great birthday dinner with my husband on a cold January evening. Service was great. We got great advice on how to portion the meal. We ordered the Gaijin experience and I loved having the option on the courses to order a different option than my husband. Great experience and I will be going back.

Has visited this place many times working in the neighborhood. Drink specials are fantastic and food is great. I just think they need some better app options to cut the fatty, rich, umami dense entree options.

Even though we were passed late for our reservation we still were seated immediately upon entering. The food was excellent and because it was my birthday, my husband and I were given complimentary champagne and some delicious cookies and cream ice cream that was made in house. Thank you Gaijin and staff for helping make my special day even more special!
