From Dream to Reality
A Fusion of Two Worlds
Casa Madai is the realization of a lifelong dream for Chef Ismael Lucero Lopez. His culinary journey began in Chicago in 1999, where he trained under renowned Chef Junzan Ichikawa. Through years of dedication and hard work, Ismael mastered the art of Osaka sushi, blending traditional techniques with his own creative flair. With the support of his mentor and inspiration from his Mexican heritage, Ismael dreamed of opening a restaurant that fused the precision of Japanese cuisine with the bold, vibrant flavors of Mexico.Family has always been at the heart of Ismael’s journey. As Mexican culture emphasizes the importance of community and togetherness, Casa Madai is a reflection of this value. Every dish, every detail, and every decision is driven by a deep love for both food and family. Stepping into Casa Madai, you’re not just experiencing a meal—you’re becoming part of a story built on hard work, passion, and the belief that sharing food brings people closer together.Japanese cuisine with the bold, vibrant flavors of Mexico.
