At the young age of 15, Yuji Kunii began making sushi at a restaurant in his hometown, Tokyo, Japan. While many travel long distances to learn the art of sushi making in Japan, Mr. Kunii was immersed in training from an early age, and had used his passion to work closely with a master chef to learn about the true art of quality sushi creation and service. It was here where he also began to develop intricate knowledge of different types of fish and special preparation.
Mr. Kunii eventually came to Chicago, where he spent seven years working in a restaurant. More than 30 years ago he opened his own Kuni's Japanese Restaurant, and customers followed. In a place of growing popularity for sushi, many new sushi restaurants were headed by chefs of various Asian and Latin countries. Yuji remains one of a handful of true Japanese chefs in the Chicagoland area to offer a true, traditional and memorable sushi experience.
We refuse to compromise on quality in our restaurant. We bring only the freshest fish and vegetables in daily from our distributors to your plate. We bring more than 45 years of sushi-making mastery with our carefully selected and exquisite offerings of classic sushi/sashimi, tempura and other Japanese delicacies. We offer culinary perfection in simplicity and classic form.
As mentioned in the article from Medill Reports (see link below), Mr. Kunii’s nephew,
Jun will be the next main chef. Jun has worked with Mr. Kunii since 2004, learned his
skills, and has inherited his spirit and passion about Japanese cuisine. We have
confidence that he will serve memorable sushi experience to you along with the rest of
our team. We will keep the traditional and authentic ways of the restaurant as it has
been since 1986.
