    Fresh Sashimi
    Lisa Y.

    The homemade chicken gyoza is excellent ! Great sushi! Fast service and very friendly! Their sushi is very fresh! I'm always looking for sushi on the go ! This is the place ! I live in Chicago and I can't really find a good place to grab and go! I heard about this place from my clients. So I was in area and I decided to try it! It's really amazing ! Please try this place and support this business! I will definitely come back! So glad I finally tried it!

    Strip mall storefront.

    This is a high quality sushi joint and I picked up a couple of party trays from here. It's mostly a carryout shop though there are a few bar seats facing out towards their storefront window. Surprisingly, this unassuming looking shop had 5 sushi chefs working behind the counter at 11:15am on a Saturday morning, so business must be good and brisk here. I can now see why as the sushi was fresh, top quality, and delicious. They are also situated in a very convenient strip mall location, just a few feet from I-94 Eden's Lake Street exits.

    Nigiri, Rolls, Dragon Balls

    I've been told by a few people about how Ao Sushi is a top tier low-key sushi spot in the north suburbs of Chicago. It's pick up and delivery only. I suggested ordering online as the pick up time for us was about 45 minutes. We ordered and picked up which I was actually thoroughly impressed with the spread already. The Dragon Balls had a nice light fried rice flavor blended well with the spicy salmon, but the spicy salmon was not holding up in their packaging unfortunately. The Godzilla roll was top tier and well assembled. The caterpillar roll had a nice crunch and the spicy salmon roll was good quality but average tasting. The Spicy Tuna special roll was creamy and light. Their nigiri is unreal and has the proper amount of fish to rice ratio. Most of the items will be repeats for me.

    Top to bottom: eel cucumber roll and North Ocean

    This place is pretty affordable and good! Ao sushi showed they closed at 7:30 pm online, but they were still able to take carryout orders at 7:15 pm when I called. I ordered the North Ocean (salmon and avocado) and Eel with cucumber All together I had 16 pieces of sushi for ~$13 and it was very worth it for the freshness and amount of sushi I got. The salmon/avocado pieces were pretty big, so that roll pretty much filled me up. The salmon was fresh, the avocadoes were perfectly ripe. The eel roll was good too! The eel sauce was on point and the cucumbers were crunchy. Everything tasted as expected and I was very happy :) One recommendation I want to make is to use the soy sauce with less sodium. It is much better with the sushi because the saltiness of the original soy sauce pretty much overpowers the sushi. Now onto the atmosphere and restaurant environment. I loved the service during pick up. The workers were very friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was just very calming and nice. You could basically see the sushi chef making the rolls and even the fish that he used. Everything seemed pretty clean. The other thing I really appreciated was that I could take my own chopsticks, napkins, soy sauce, and soy sauce trays. I loved having those options available to me! I'm glad I found Ao sushi. If I'm in this area again, I will definitely come back!

    Had AO Sushi in Wilmette, IL for dinner tonight. It's takeout only and hands down the best sushi I've had in the Chicago land area. The fish is just so damn fresh! And the rice doesn't have that overly vinegar taste that other places sometimes have. It's very decently priced, we ordered 6 rolls for $70 bucks including tip. Dare I say, every roll is a 10/10.

We ordered two rolls as well, salmon rice bites, two appetizers, and two sides of sashimi. So we left three of the nigiri on the plate.., the rolls were not great as well... seeing how off the nigiri was left quite a bit of the sashimi on the plate. Forced ourselves to eat since our bill came to $180 with tip but seeing the amount of food left the server kindly asked us to whether we wanted to box anything and didn't want to get sick so politely declined. Seeing that most of the tables around us stuck to ramen understand that is why this place has good reviews.... The star is purely for the service (they sweetly took a picture of three of us) and the table was comfortable with one side being a bench against a brick wall and TVs showing the world series but a really expensive mistake to make worst of all it was my one night of dinner seeing my daughter at college and not the way that I wanted her to remember our time together.

Disclaimer I forgot to take a picture of what I ordered, which was the chicken teriyaki bento box I forgot because I was so hungry and everything was so freshly cooked and hot that I just dived right in. That bento box had edamame a spring roll gyoza and the rice covered in furikake plus the chicken teriyaki and seaweed salad and more. I also ordered the lychee jasmine tea, which was cold and absolutely delicious and it was not a cup of diabetes, thank goodness We also ordered a Tonkatsu bowl, which was very generous, freshly cooked and super tasty. Both orders came with a miso soup, which was also piping hot and tasty. The set up is definitely a little bit more fast food because you can order to counter and then get your food on a tray and sit down or you can order it from a kiosk as well. They also do takeout orders. The best part about this place besides the food and the ambience are just so cute and modern and clean is the staff and the manager. People really do make the difference and people really do enhance an experience and an overall lasting and first impression. I would absolutely come back here. It is super conveniently located.

    Kura is a fun and unique experience, especially if it's your first time at a revolving sushi…read morerestaurant. You can grab as much sushi as you want as it passes by, but keep in mind you're charged per plate--and the cost adds up quickly if you come in really hungry. The sushi itself is okay; not bad, but not quite worth the price point in my opinion. Service was a bit lacking. You really have to be patient, particularly when it comes to checkout--it took us about 45 minutes just to close out. That definitely put a damper on the experience. Overall, it's a cool concept and worth trying once for the novelty, but for us it's more of a one-and-done spot rather than a regular go-to. One standout feature was that this was my first time dining at a restaurant with a self-driving robot that delivers specific drinks and items directly to your table. It's really cool and definitely helps Kura stand out. Because of that, you'd expect more server presence for everything else you might need--but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The layout and path of the restaurant are really well designed, and the overall ambience is great. I came with my duvet loved the atmosphere, which made the experience feel fun and memorable despite the service gaps. Overall, the technology and vibe are impressive, but the lack of consistent human support takes away from what could've been a much smoother experience.
