Arigato Market

Had these at another site (On Tour Brewing) after seeing the rave reviews here and I was ... pretty disappointed? The tuna one was okay, but the cheeseburger one was lacking in flavor and had a really mushy texture. Maybe they're way different at their own brick-and-mortar location, but considering the rave reviews on here, I had better expectations.

Portion is a little small but ingredients are very fresh and flavorful. There are multiple veggie and vegan options. You can make any tacos into a mini bowl. The front of the market doesn't stand out as a restaurant so is easily missed. Pleasant and simple decor into with a few stools as seating. Plenty of free parking around. Worth a try.

I wanted to like this place, I swear. A hole in the wall type place in a mildly sketchy area - seemed to have all the ingredients to be a little gem of a restaurant. There is basically no seating, by the way. Take out only.We ordered a bunch of decidedly fusion tacos - poke tuna, tomato meatball risotto, tofu, tonkatsu. The only one that was good was the meatball risotto, which tasted like a normal beef taco. The others were very disappointing. The poke had an odd sour flavor to it. The tofu was very bland despite being smothered with aioli. The tonkatsu was soggy and overall unpleasant.

Definitely recommend this spot for a quick bite or takeout! Arigato Market was my favorite pop-up at On Tour Brewery. It's new location is small, but does have some window seating. Favorites:1. Tuna Poke - OMG OMG OMG. They limit one per order because they're just THAT good. 2. Meatball + Risotto - The meatball, sauce, risotto, cheese combo is so on point. 3. Panko Pork - Good crispy crunch, but a bit sweet if you're into that. Can't wait to try the rest!

This space is small with a handful of stools along the windowsill so if you're looking to have some alone time to munch on your tacos, don't expect a lot of privacy. But John, the server/cashier/taco-maker/marketer, was really friendly and def is invested in the joint. They sell different cuts of beef frozen and a few of their own desserts, a sauce, and edamame. I love their local roots and their concept of using the whole cow. If I'm going to eat meat, I'd like to know everything is going to get used. Their tacos are definitely fusion based, all on a soft flour tortilla. I had the Japanese curry chicken, poke, and tofu tacos. There's a $10 for 3 deal - which I think was enough to feel full and if I was going to get 2 tacos, might as well round it out. The flavors were good - the poke taco was probably the best in terms of flavor. The curry taco could use more texture differential to offset the mushy texture of the curry. But I liked the flavor - if you like Japanese curry, it tastes like a portable Japanese chicken curry with rice. Tofu taco was also a bit on the mushy side and the yuzu sauce could have used more balance, maybe a sweetness. It's a fun place if you're into trying fusion tacos but I think the flavors can be improved. They've only been around since Jan 2019 so they've got time to refine what they're doing at this spot - a little butcher shop, a little local representation, a little taco shop.

Tell me from Maui I am a big fan of fish tacos I was very surprised at how tasty the fish tacos from Arigato market are I can live on those whenever I visit Chicago great people working that company

Before I say/write anything else, let me preface this review by saying that the food here is decidedly and unabashedly "fusion." If you have a problem with that, probably shouldn't be too surprised when you come here and are shocked by what you're eating.Anyways, saw that this place opened up today and thought I'd give it a try. The space itself is pretty small - there are only 6 spaces to eat in, so the focus seems to be more about take-out. They're still figuring some stuff out with the process but no real red flags and service was good/prompt. Menu-wise, it's pretty much split between steaks to take home and cook, and the tacos. Canned sodas are there but the selection is currently limited to LaCroix and Coke. I ate the following, ordered by enjoyment (least to greatest):- Fully Loaded Crushed Hamburger: To me, this tasted a bit like cheesy rice with some ground beef sprinkled in. It wasn't bad, but the sauce to meat ratio seemed a bit off, and it was a tad messy to eat.- Japanese Curry Chicken: This tasted like the Japanese curry you could make from one of those boxes at the grocery store, which sounds like a bad thing but I swear isn't at all. There was a bit of mayo topped, which tasted a bit interesting when mixed with the curry. I'm still a bit undecided on how I feel about mixing those, but outside of that it was pretty decent. - Panko Pork Tonkatsu: Pretty good. The tonkatsu felt pretty crispy, and there was enough sauce to give it some extra flavor.- California Kani Salad: Yea, I wouldn't mind ordering just 3-4 of these or maybe a bowl next time. The mango and crab salad was really good, and there was a generous portion of roe mixed in between. If I had to make one quibble about it, it's that it could have done without as much soy-yuzu sauce, as it kind of drenched the rice and made that more salty than the crab salad itself. This one's a winner in my book.Overall, they're still getting ironing out the kinks, so there's nothing that's glaring that I would really say. The experience and service was good, and the space, while small, feels pretty welcoming. And the food? For 4 bucks a taco (or 3 for 10), if you view them as flour tortilla vehicles to get just the right/snack amount of something you want to eat but don't want a whole entree of, this is pretty good. Solid start, would come again for a taco or two if I'm ever around the area again.

Pop up at Metropolitan Brewing was solid. I had buffalo chicken, deviled egg, and pork tonkatsu. All delicious and spicy and pairable with fine Chicago lager beers.

Excellent new addition to the neighborhood! Small venue, (not a lot of seating,) but the food is fantastic. They have a special, three tacos for ten dollars, which is what I got. The tacos are a good size and three left me sated. I got the tuna poke, meatball risotto, and Japanese curry. The meatball risotto was good, but the tuna and curry were excellent! My wife got the pork taco which was also excellent. We went during lunch and service was fast and friendly. They are a cashless business, so be ready for that. They were not very busy, but I'm sure that's going to change, so come here soon!

Love this place! The food is awesome. Have tried lots of menu items and have yet to be disappointed. The flavors are unique- no place doing similar style in city. Find myself here often! Always quick and great service too
