Jaiyen Sushi & Noodle, Chicago

Jaiyen Sushi & Noodle serves edibles from all across Asia, with a menu more internationally inspired than a model U.N. team playing catch with a globe. Servers sling familiar Japanese bites such as spicy miso soup, beef teriyaki, and seaweed salad, as well as vegetarian maki rolls, pad thai, spicy udon noodles, and Singapore-style noodles. Fried rice and curries sate cravings for carbs or cumin, and desserts such as green-tea ice cream cleanse palates.
