Kirei (kee’ rai) means “beautiful” in Japanese – a sentiment that sets the tone for this neighborhood gem.
Located in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast, the menu features a carefully curated selection of modern shareable dishes that honor centuries-old Asian traditions for scratch cooking using fresh ingredients and handmade doughs accompanied by our own chef-created sauces, marinades, and broths.
From expertly prepared prime steaks and beautifully plated sushi rolls, sashimi and nigiri, to baos, hamachi, and pan-fried dumplings, Kirei offers a variety of carefully curated selections for elevated everyday dining.
Guests will enjoy a balance of tastes, textures, fragrances, and colors that enhance and accent each other.
The restaurant’s contemporary design is infused with subtle Asian influences to create an elegant-yet-casual respite for residents and out-of-town guests. Atrium seating on Delaware Place offers a dining experience like no other, and the intimate bar inspires both conversation and reflection.
