Tucked inside a suite at the Hotel Lincoln in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood Sushi Suite 202 brings a new kind of sushi dining to the city's foodie scene. And it’s the first of its kind in Chicago.
Named for the room it sits inside, the restaurant is the first sushi eatery to open inside a hotel in the city.

And while small-scale dining has been its specialty since before coronavirus, the restaurant hopes its unique set-up will help diners feel even more comfortable as the city begins reopening during the coronavirus pandemic.

Within 500 square feet of space, a six-seat cocktail bar greets guests, followed by a small lounge area and a six-seat sushi bar, serving up a 17-course, 60-minute omakase dining experience for $125.
