Casa Madai

Casa Madai is a sushi restaurant on Racine Avenue at 20th Place in Pilsen, led by sushi chef Ismael Lucero Lopez. The menu blends Japanese and Mexican flavors in nigiri, maki rolls and tostadas, and the chef’s counter runs a 15-course omakase. Diners who skip the counter can order a la carte rolls in the dining room, and the bar pours sake, wine and cocktails.
