La perle du quartier
Adapté aux occasions spéciales
Innovant

Gaijin by Chef Paul Virant is Chicago’s first okonomiyaki restaurant, offering both Hiroshima and Osaka styles of the savory Japanese pancake. A self-described gaijin, or “outsider” in Japanese, Virant playfully embraces this perspective and honors traditional preparations and techniques, as well as his well-known passion for pickling and preserving.

Designed to deliver a lively and interactive culinary experience, the 60-seat space is anchored by a custom 12-foot griddle and chef’s counter and offers individual Hiroshima teppan griddles for table service.

The dessert menu features kakigori, a shaved ice dessert, along with mochi donuts and other Japanese-inspired treats. The bar program showcases highballs and a focused selection of beer – including a Moody Tongue-Gaijin collaboration house lager, sake, Japanese whisky, and wine.

We can’t wait to see you at Gaijin!

Oh Thursday, November 21 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., Sarah Grueneberg will be in house for one night only sharing her dish, and we’ll run her special osaka through the weekend while supplies last.

Fantastic meal and experience. Menu was so innovative and delicious. Staff super friendly, space was fun. I can't say enough good things- everyone in our party loved every dish. Have never had preparations or combinations like this-amazing. We are excited to get back soon. Great drink and dessert menus, also.

I have eaten at Gaijin many times and each time has been exceptional. Paul Virant and his team provide quality food that complements all aspects of the meal. I look forward to visiting all of Paul's restaurants, as I know I'm going to enjoy the food, atmosphere and the staff. This restaurant is a JEM and don't be afraid to venture out to his suburban locations. Enjoy

The starters are extremely small but the yakisoba and okinomiyaki were more than enough to make up for it. Delicious food and great cocktails

I recently visited Gaijin with a friend and sat at the Chef’s counter for a special collaboration dinner with Chef Thai Dang. We were lucky enough to catch their fantastic happy hour, and we walked out completely full for less than $100 for the two of us—an absolute steal for the West Loop, especially given the high quality of food. Everything we ordered was a hit! The dishes were fresh, prepared with care, and served piping hot. A big shoutout to the entire team for making our experience so enjoyable. Special thanks to our server, Orlando, and bartender, Jesse, for their attentive service, and to Chef Paul, who took the time to chat with us in between preparing dishes. It was a lovely dining experience, and I’ll definitely be back!
