Never tasted the food but never had an opportunity to. I came inside, waited 5 minutes in an empty restaurant with 2 employees. They never talk to me or even acknowledged me... so i left, never to return.. read more

Went at about 12:45 on a Monday, had to wait to find parking in the lot. Eventually grabbed a spot from someone at 7/11. Ambiance was chill, they were playing country music or oldies or something??? Restaurant was pretty empty, only one other table seated. Started off with the best miso soup I've had in my life (it was free). Next we enjoyed the "bowls" all of which were great. Service was great. Then came the sushi, the spicy tuna roll was pretty good. However, the "crisp" was a little overwhelming. Finally, I got the sake nigiri. Unfortunately, it was in the form I refer to as "scam sushi." Namely, the fish is sliced superrrrrr thin, completely throwing off the fish to rice ratio. I'd probably give this place a 3.85/5, but I rounded up. Worth checking out but I'd stay away from the nigiri. read more

I've had my eye on their chirashi jewelery sushi box ever since they first opened and I finally was able to try it. We had the chicken kaarage, spicy tuna crunch roll, pork katsu bowl and of course the uni chirashi. The chicken kaarage was decent, it would go well with a slice of lemon or lime.The spicy tuna crunch was fine. I prefer more regular maki rolls without extra sauces and toppings and they don't offer those here. the pork katsu bowl was very tasty and filling. Now the chirashi box was a super good deal. Not only is it very pretty to look at, it tastes amazing and the price point is ridiculously good. There was tons of tuna, salmon, ikura and uni on the bed of seasoned sushi rice. Super filling and tasty. The uni was good quality. The only criticism I have is that the pieces of salmon were too long, they were more like very long thin strands like 5 inches long, too much for a bite. Overall, we had a very good experience. The food is good and the chirashi box is a steal! read more

(+) Tasty tempura Ready in time Decent prices for dine in Quality soy sauce/Chopsticks (-) Would not honor posted special Did not assemble crunch maki/ nor give instructions Sushi rice under seasoned Spicy flavors were in the form of sliced jalapeños which overpower other flavors Tuna bowl was flavorless I think Chicago Sushi would be a better dine in option as opposed to take out. My first impression was when they told me after ordering the food that their 15% off anniversary special would not be honored for takeout (even though the sign made no mention of this). Although I appreciate the effort to not make the tenkasu (crunch) soggy by putting it on the side as opposed to on top, they didn't mention to me that all the sauces and crunch were intended to be assembled by me. So, instead of getting something resembling the menu photo, I received rolls that were completely plain, with a tiny bit of crunch on the side. I didn't realize until halfway through the meal that they had included tiny little containers of sauce and spicy mayo that I was supposed to complete the roll with. Either way, they should have applied the sauce themselves and put the tenkasu in a little container so I could just sprinkle it on instead of assembling half the roll. Lastly, the tuna bowl, while having a very large portion of tuna, used unappetizing looking tuna scraps instead of nicely sliced pieces of fish. This combined with the under seasoned rice was not a winning combo for me. All in all, I think if you come here for dine in, you will probably have a better experience, at a very fair price. I would not recommend takeout based on my experience. read more

Amazing sushi. Fast service. Great staff. Get a tempura California roll you won't regret it!

Liked it, the food was good. Service was nice, and the atmosphere here was alright. My opinion, I'd come here again and so you could try it out someday. read more

I had a good time there. Food was good. I think their salmon ikura don is the best one in Chicagoland. Salmon was cut good thickness. Highly recommended! read more

Rice is way undercooked and rolls have very little fish. So many options in the western burbs. Pick something else.

Found this place just searching through google maps & we're so glad we found this cute little spot! Everything is very clean, even the sauce bottles were clean so that was nice. Love how you can see the chefs making everything, the waiter was so nice and helpful. The sushi was absolutely amazing!! Superrrrr fresh everything! I was definitely enjoying every bite! Lol I was only able to get these two photos we were so excited to eat! Will definitely be back, this will be our new spot ! read more

Considering I'm a big fan of their companion ramen restaurant just two doors down, this place was a disappointing miss. The matsu chirashi isn't terrible, but it isn't particularly fresh or tasty either, so it's just a big pile of meh. I've had better at Mitsuwa and that's not an exaggeration. I did enjoy the deep fried soft shell crab appetizer, but that was the highlight of the meal. Maybe it was an off day for them, but I'm in no rush to head back to try again. If I'm back in the area, I'll probably end up at the ramen spot. read more

My bf and I visited Chicago Sushi this past weekend. They were fairly slow and it took us about an hour to get our food. Also, when we were waiting for our food one of the servers approached us to tell us that we ordered too much food and asked us what items we'd like to remove... so I removed my bf's 4 hand rolls. I've never had this happen to me before so I was uncertain on how to react? Why would it matter as long as we're paying for it? Anyway, the food was decent. Nothing special and honestly the only thing that was crack me were the chili noodles. The noodles are really the only good thing, not the sauce necessarily. ALSO if you want to WREAK visit this restaurant. I had to immediately throw my clothes to wash and shower and spent two hours trying to get the smell out of my down jacket and purse the following day. Yea.... Good noodles read more

What a great sushi experience! Started off with cold sake which we poured out of a green bamboo decanter and enjoyed fried oysters and tofu salad as appetizers. We ordered Matsu chirashi with uni which also had salmon, eel, egg, roe, and imitation crab. Never seen a mirage of delicacy presented beautifully. Will definitely be back to try other dishes there! So worth the drive from the city! read more

hate to do this but it was not enjoyable at all. at first glance the menu seems amazing. they offer different items than other sushi restaurants and i was so excited to try out the chirashi and handrolls. our party got spicy crunchy roll, chirashi ume, crispy tuna , handrolls chili noodles. 1. red hot chili noodle- broth was flavorful but they "ran out" of the miso chicken topping .. on a saturday. 2. crispy rice with spicy tuna- rice was soft and mushy( where's the crisp???). so disappointed 3. spicy salmon crunchy roll was decent but nothing special 4. chirashi ume- i was most excited for this seeing the picture on the menu. all of the favorite fish all in one? how can this NOT be good? it was terrible. It is SO small and nothing like the picture. the sashimi slices looked like the scraps with jaggedy edges like they were leftovers from making spicy tuna or spicy salmon rolls, did not taste fresh at all and the rice is NOT sushi rice (mushy, hot.. not warm but hot). never had chirashi like this. on a positive note i did like their eel chunks. 5. handrolls- we got the 5 item sushi roll combo which came out one by one which was annoying because we were running out of table space. the rice was piping hot.. flavor was more like a kimbop and not seasoned vinegary sushi rice. i have literally never eaten handrolls of this nature before at a sushi restaurant. the rice made everything mushy and was so unpleasant. service wasn't great and very unhelpful.. we asked for sharing bowls for the ramen and they told us they didn't have any bowls left (saw a ton of miso soup bowls). they had enough plates to give us handrolls one by one but couldn't spare one extra small bowl. there aren't a a ton of chairs and tables inside so it's definitely not worth the wait if it gets busy here. i'm surprised by all the good reviews as we came in a saturday evening and expecting a great experience. i love chicago ramen so what happened here?? highly disappointed and annoyed! read more

An amazing little gem for fresh hand rolls and chirashi Very fresh, and service was quick and friendly! I like their ordering system. Menu with pictures are helpful! A friend recommended this place for their chirashi but I think their fresh hand rolls really are the bombs! Fresh crunchy nori with warm rice and fish, what a treat to my mouth The chirashi is beautiful and delicious, too ! This place is small, we went at 5pm on Saturday before peak hours, so I would imagine wait for table if we went later. Definitely will visit again soon! read more

Had a great meal and wonderful service. We sat by the bar so as the hand roll was made, they served right away. The hand rolls (salmon, spicy salmon, spicy mayo, unagi, blue crab) was delicious, fresh, and served with warm rice. Miso soup had plenty of tofu and seaweed. Salmon Carpacio was a great starter, refreshing with a kick. Chirashi was worth it, they didn't have uni and sub with scallop and it was a greataa sub. The chili noodle has a a flavorful broth and the noodles cooked perfectly. Overall really great sushi spot, and will definately come back. read more

Drove 45 minutes to try their newly opened sushi restaurant. Ordered a few things and all are good. Have the Japanese Aji (taste). So happy that we can eat such kind of quality food here. Make sure you sit at the bar and eat the hand roll within 2 seconds, otherwise you can't eat the crunchiness of the seaweed. Nice presentation and peaceful environment. The chirashi bowl is big enough for 2 of us. Sure will come back again. read more

Simple decor with a good atmosphere, while the food is worth going back to. Will need to go back and try more of their menu, me and a buddy both got Chirashi sushi which is a full punch of flavor on top of some warm rice, also got myself their crunchy drool inducing sushi hand wraps. Buddy got a salmon Dan bowl or something of the kind which I stole a bite the second he looked away, fan-fhhkng-fantastic, made me want to knock him out and finish it myself, but better senses prevailed... Oh and the miso isn't your regular miso water you get at all you can eat sushi bars. This is really your next step in sushi if you only go to Allyoucaneat, as for those who already throw money at raw fish, this should be your next joint! Enjoy.the only thing is the wait for food was a little long, maybe on purpose so i can drool over other diner's food.... read more

Wanted to try it Chicago Sushi since Chicago Ramen next door was decent (same owner) but the sushi was basic. Ordered 3 different sushi/crunch rolls and they all look like a Cali roll (didn't even take a picture). Salmon carpaccio, edamame and shrimp ramen was acceptable. Not a lot of people eating but still got our order wrong and mixed up with one of the other table. To top it off, I got diarrhea when I got home. Never again. read more

**** Soft opening review, I received 20% off my bill but will post my honest review. Overall experience was very representative of a soft opening. Service was new, not as smooth. The ramen dish took a very long time to come out, so long we ended up asking for it to go. Food: So I believe they are attempting to do a hand roll bar concept which I have tried several times at other places.. the execution here is very lacking. First off, for now I think they should reserve hand roll experience only to the bar, b/c when they served to use at the table, the hand roll was soggy and hard to bite through mainly bc 1) the roll had been sitting too long and 2) the seaweed used probably could be higher quality. the price is pretty low hence the very small amount of protein in eat handroll. perhaps charge a little bit more for a little bit more protein? overall it was a fail.. I did give immediate feedback and our last set of rolls were a little better, but still not how it should be. we tried the fried chicken and spicy tuna don bowls which were both very good, would come back for this. gyoza were crispy and tasty, similar to next doors version. lastly the ramen, came out too late, we didn't even eat it in the resto. For the price of 20% off, was probably appropriate for the experience. they need to improve the hand roll experience! read more

Was served raw chicken karrage, chef threw the plate when the waitress handed it back to him. Miso was salty. Salmon bowl was over seasoned. Even the ramen wasn't good. To top it all off, the service was slow and they weren't even busy. Everything was disappointing. Won't be going back read more

This place is great!!! No wait time for a table for 2 at 7 PM on a Saturday and some of the freshest sushi I've had in the area. We loved that they bring the hand rolls out one at a time so you can enjoy them one by one. The miso soup was flavorful and rich. We ordered about 5 hand rolls each (the spicy scallop was one of our favorites) and it was more than enough, we left very full! The service was attentive and friendly. The prices were also VERY reasonable, especially for sushi. We will definitely be making this a regular spot in our date night rotation! read more

Reading the reviews, I dropped in one afternoon. The restaurant wasn't crowded and the seating at the bar comfortable. The service was prompt and polite. Unfortunately, the chirashi dish I ordered wasn't very good. The pieces were thin and didd not appear fresh. The sesame seeds were over toasted and gave the rice a burnt flavor. Not sure I will be coming back. read more

I lived in the Bay Area and then found the best sushi I ever had in Illinois! I am working my way through their menu. We also used to go to LA from SF just to go to Chicago Ramen (same owner and same building). I rate it an 11 out of 10. Favorites so far are the crunchy, spicy sushi and vinegar mackerel. I spoke with some obvious regulars on our last dinner there and they said to try the hand rolled sushi because the seaweed is flown in from Japan. I'll try it next time. read more

Chirachi was fine, but I didn't like the rolls. Mustard sauce at our table was also expired.

Saw so many things on the menu I over ordered and everything was amazing! Started out with hot miso soup and they just keep putting sushi in front of me. Seaweed salad was super fresh. Chicken karaage bowl came with an eggy mayo. Everything was great but the best things I ate were the spicy tuna sushi roll and the eel sushi roll. Will definitely be back. read more
