Gaijin is located at 950 W Lake St, and offers an authentic taste of Japan in the Windy City.

Bingsu is a heavenly treat that’s essentially a Korean-style shave ice, topped with sweet red bean, mochi, fruit, and condensed milk.

Gaijin’s Karaage is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with savory flavors.

Tonkotsu Ramen is an exercise in comfort food - rich pork broth infused with sweetness of simmered bones and vegetables will transport you straight to a steaming bowl of goodness from the streets of Tokyo.

Gaijin is a modern Japanese restaurant with a lively atmosphere, offering a variety of menu items including signature dishes like Bingsu and Tonkotsu Ramen. The interior features dark wood accents and neon lights, creating an inviting ambiance for patrons to enjoy their meals.
