    Lunch salad, Gyoza and miso
    Alexis C.

    This is my favorite sushi place in Chicago. Went in for lunch with my sister after aggressive shopping experience. From the salad to dessert, everything was delicious. Massive portions, hope they never change. (Because I know a lot of places do this) Authentic flavors, honestly better than sushi from Japan I had past March. Dying to go back, but it's kind of far away from my house. Hope they stay open as long as I can visit. But yes. This place is my favorite place to get sushi.

    I try to avoid giving bad reviews these days, but Chicago Sushi was just plain bad. The Shrimp Curry was ok. Reminded me of instant curry (which I eat at home regularly), and the shrimp was pretty decent. However, as a sushi place the only thing they need to get right is fresh fish. The Chirashi's fish was mushy and fishy smelling. Texture had no bounce, and it was just limp and way too soft. You could just pull it apart. It was definitely past when they should have been selling it. Such a shame, as the reviews are not generally bad for this spot. However, selling old fish is unforgivable at a sushi restaurant. Think about this next time you get one of those fancy rolls that have sauces and toppings which hide the smell and texture of the fish. Absolute miss.

    Great food! Super fresh sushi and delicious. Kids meal has the best value. Service was nice too and you can order ramen from next door. The place is a bit small with a casual vibe. Will be back!

    Take $15 - A rectangular bento box features sushi rice topped with salmon sashimi, cucumber pieces, fish roe, and shredded seafood. The dish includes various seafood toppings, garnished with herbs and accompanied by small vegetable pieces. The presentation emphasizes a variety of textures and colors typical of Japanese cuisine.

    One of the best sashimi chirashi I ever had, which comes in a jewel box filled with eel, salmon, tuna, ikura. I ordered the "Take" which is $15 and is enough food for 1 person. You do get a nice hot bowl of miso which is very refreshing. I do recommend the variety of hand rolls which comes to you personally from chef. We ordered a few salmon and tuna rolls. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a treat and enjoy very fresh seafood. Parking is limited as it is shared lot.

    First time I was here was six months ago, and I have returned on a random Saturday for a late lunch time. Luckily, there was no line. We were seated immediately and got to order and food comes out very quickly super fresh and super hot. I will say since the last visit the menu has definitely grown, which is incredible to see with a lot more choices. They have definitely stepped it up from the sushi, the bowls, and the Ramen, and noodle soups overall. Service is still super friendly and not rushing considering that they weren't busy and this is definitely the unpretentious spot for good comfort food at a fair price.

    Miso soup - A bowl of miso soup containing green onions and seaweed sits on a wooden table. The soup is in a red and black bowl, with a white spoon resting inside. In the background, there is a menu and a condiment jar labeled 'OIKASU'. The setting appears to be a Japanese restaurant or ramen shop.

    Honestly, one of my favorite/best chirashi meals I've ever ever had. I had Chirashi Jewelry Box - it was beautiful and tasty; what sold me was the generous servings of uni (sea urchin). My dining friend and I finished off our meal with mochi ice cream black sesame. If you've never had black sesame, it tastes like an earthy peanut butter. If I ever see black sesame on the menu, I am down for it!

    Excited to try Chicago Sushi as it's same owners of Chicago Ramen. I love Chicago Ramen so I had high expectations but to be honest, it was ok. Having opened in 2022, but the decor is of 1990s. Service was excellent. There was nothing special about this place and am not sure if I'd go out of my way to visit. I'd rather go next door for ramen. Here's what we ordered: blue crab & Chicago bowl Matsu chirashi sushi with uni Japanese calamari few handrolls - eat within 3 seconds

    Salmon & scallop bowl - A ceramic bowl with a geometric blue and white pattern holds slices of salmon and white fish sashimi, garnished with chopped green onions. The fish slices are arranged separately, with the salmon on one side and the white fish on the other, on a bed of creamy sauce or rice. The setting appears to be in a restaurant, with other dishes partially visible around the bowl.

    I stopped in for a quick lunch on a Monday around 12:15pm for the first time. They were pretty slow during that time so I didn't have to wait. Food came out very quick after ordering. I absolutely loved the crunch on the Japanese calamari as well as the portion of scallop/salmon inside the bowl! Only con was the music choice :-( Have y'all ever watched a scary movie where there's a scene of someone driving down an empty road, in a convertible with their top down; there's old happy country music playing in the background BUT the person is about to get murdered???? That's what their music reminded me of LOL CHEF or Chicago Sushi employees- if you're seeing this, I can send my playlist over

    Finally made my way to Des Plaines. Really wanted to Chicago Ramen but the weather was way too warm for that so opt in for Chicago Sushi. Honestly didn't even know it was right next to each other. Tucked in a plaza so no need to worry about parking. We came during down time where it was past lunch and too early to call it dinner so it was fairly quiet and empty just how we like it when dining with a baby. They had a booster seat for her to use to plop on the seated bench. Really was craving hand rolls since my visit to Dallas and wasn't looking to break the wallet so really this is the bang for the buck when it comes to price point value. The spicy salmon hand roll was so good we ordered another one. Best consume once it hits the table! Also have been seeing the jewel box so that was a must for me and the scallops were huge! I'd skip the crab meat bowl with scallop, nothing too extraordinary about it. I wish they bought back the hand roll trio in stead of selling them just one by one.

    I've been a big fan of Chicago sushi and they opened this place next door. I'm always debating between the two but the last year I've chosen to come here 90% of the time. This is a gem of a sushi place, and let me tell you, it's like no other. The hand rolls are a flavor explosion, and the chirashi jewelry box is a work of art on a plate. But what sets them apart is the freshness of their fish - the uni and scallops are always top-notch. This spot is a hidden treasure for sushi lovers, and each visit feels like a culinary adventure.

    Chicago Sushi is a casual restaurant that serves delicious Japanese cuisine. I discovered this restaurant because it is located next to Chicago Ramen, where I recently ate. I'm also curious if this is a sister company to Chicago Ramen. The setting is quiet possibly because I'm the only person in here other than the sushi chef and the waitress. I'm relieved to be able to eat peacefully after a long day at work. Their menu offers a broad selection of intriguing foods ranging from hand rolls, specialty rolls, rice dishes, and ramen. Unfortunately, my stomach is small, or I would have ordered the entire menu. While I waited for my meal, I seized the opportunity to browse the details of the area. It has many charming Japanese decorations around the interior spaces. I can't help but note that the main feature of the design is natural wood, which gives it an earthy vibe. As an appetizer, I got the fried oysters with drizzling tonkatsu sauce, which has a sweet and acidic aftertaste to balance out the savory of the oyster. It was served with a mildly rich and creamy egg salad on the side. My entree was the pork cutlets curry. The pork is thin and slightly dry. The breading appears to be unevenly coated. To season and color the white rice, dried seaweed was sprinkled on top. The curry gravy was the winner for me; it had a thick texture and an explosive curry taste. To conclude my dinner, I had the mochi ice cream. Originally, I wanted the green tea tiramisu, but they were out. I was disappointed because the mochi ice cream was presented in an ordinary way that I could easily acquire at a regular Asian grocery store. The service was quick. The meals arrived promptly and hot, and the service was decent but not overwhelming, allowing me to appreciate the dish. I'm pleased I stopped by because I would not have had the opportunity to try it otherwise. This will be my new favorite Japanese restaurant in the Des Plaines area.
