I remember when my husband and I visited Vegas couple years back, we couldn't get a reservation at The X Pot in Vegas... So I was very excited when The X Pot Chicago opened!

I had the pleasure of trying out their new 10-course Omakase menu and it was simply beyond amazing!
The X Pot10-course Omakase includes:
- Ochazuke (Scallops, Shrimp, & Mushroom)
- Zuke Tuna (Bluefin Tuna, Fresh Wasabi, Lime)
- Taro Caviar (Bluefin Tuna, Marinated Pepper)
- Sound of the Sea (Otoro, oyster, Uni, Lobster)
- Wagyu Tongue Grill (A5 Miyazaki Beef Tongue)
- Wagyu Foie Gras (A5 Miyazaki Ribeye, Foie Gras)
- Wagyu Jumbo Grill (A5 Miyazaki Ribeye)
- Wagyu Wasabi (A5 Miyazaki Striploin)
- Wagyu Soba (A5 Miyazaki Ribeye, Uni)
- Wagyu Handroll (A5 Miyazaki Chuckroll, Uni, Caviar)
- Dessert (X-Sweet)
Of course I enjoyed them all, but if I have to choose a few, my favorites would be Wagyu Jumbo Grill and Sound of the Sea:

Although those beef pieces were big, once they went into my mouth- omg! They literally melted! And of course, it's the A5 Miyazaki flown in daily from Japan.

It was amazing how I was able to watch what the chef was making right in front of me, having small talks in between. I had so much Uni and Caviar..I just can't!
