I'm Elizabeth. A 27 year old living in Chicago. Come along with me to Yellowtail.

Yellowtail is a Byob sushi restaurant in Lakeview East.

The vibes are super cool, very hip, very trendy.

We got there at about 530 on a Friday night but by six it was fully packed.

We started with a crispy salmon pouch appetizer and then got

a spicy soft shell crab roll in a super white dress.

All the food was super delicious. It was really flavorful.

Highly recommend you go and check it out.
