    A selection of signature maki rolls
    Sarah Y.

    Best sushi joint in Chicago, you've heard it here first, folx! The first time I came with my parents, the owner himself came to ask how we're doing and, hearing that it was our first time, said he'll bring something to introduce what this place is all about. He came with three of the most delicious seared salmon nigiri I've ever tasted in my life. It's all cloud nine from there. All of their signature maki rolls are so thoughtfully crafted and their poke bowls are a favorite choice of mine. It's an unassuming joint with quaint service and seating. Not the most up-to-date vibes for a sit down, but just go for the sushi and stay for the sushi, you won't regret it.

    Good sushi and nice portion size

    Very good sushi and excellent service at this very casual restaurant . I had the dragon roll and a salmon avocado roll and both were very good and presented beautifully. Portion size was on the larger end. Love they give a happy hour discount too. Good value ! . I'll return for sure next time I'm in the neighborhood

    So glad we finally got around to trying this place after passing by a million times - AMAZING! Service was so attentive and we even had a chance to meet who I believe is the owner. He came by to offer us a sample treat and let us know they procured fresh fish daily. Long story short - you can tell. We tried the Guam special and salmon crunch rolls, and the fried gyoza. Would definitely order all again. Already can't wait to come back!

    Best sushi in Chicago. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. Great service and ambiance.

    Not satisfied with our carry out order. This review is solely based on our carry out experience. My husband and I were craving sushi and decided on Fresh Sushi Chicago. Our experience was merely okay. The avocado was too ripened on the sushi rolls and the lettuce used in the Crab Rangoon was turning black. Overall taste of the rolls were good but visual representation was 0/10 Giving an extra star for the overall taste.

    Ordered for delivery after finding on Grubhub and reading through many positive reviews. The food was excellent, packaged neatly, & came quickly. Will order again

    Sushi set b, soft shell crab roll, 8 piece assorted nigiri
    K S.

    Just went here on a Sunday night and it was pretty quiet. This place is a hidden gem. I gotta say this place is a fabulous deal for some excellent sushi. This place has fresh wasabi and is BYOB. They have a wide assortment of rolls. Sushi set A and B come with a choice of a roll and assorted nigiri and it was very satisfying. The soft shell crab roll I had was excellent, reliable and as good as any other places. Nigiri was very fresh and tasty. My wife got the summer maki which was fabulous, the chili oil and jalapeno really gave it a kick. Combined with the fresh Wasabi upped the spicy level and just made this absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this place if you have a sushi craving!

    I made a reservation for two at 8:45 PM. When we arrived a little early, I noticed that the…read morerestaurant was listed as closing at 9:00 PM, so I asked what that meant for our reservation. The response I received was essentially, "I don't know." Since I had a reservation, I was then asked for my name. After I gave it, I was told that they couldn't find it and couldn't pronounce my name, so I should look for it myself. I was honestly quite taken aback by the way the situation was handled. I tried to be understanding, thinking that the staff may simply have had a long and busy day, but I'm leaving this review in the hope that the next guest has a better experience. If, when I first asked about the closing time, someone had simply said, "We're sorry for the confusion. We stop accepting new customers at 9:00 PM, but we will continue serving guests with reservations," the whole situation could have been resolved pleasantly for everyone. And before telling a guest, "I can't pronounce your name and I can't find your reservation, so you find it yourself," it would have taken very little effort to scroll down just a little further. My reservation was there.

    Ramen Wasabi will always have me at a chokehold. Probably by far the best ramen spot in Chicago,…read moreand that is saying a lot since I've been to many different ramen restaurants in the city. Ramen Wasabi has no reservations. The wait times vary, but sometimes there are seats readily available. There are bar seats available and a large middle table that you share with other parties. Service has always been good for us, and we're known as regulars there now Karaage - Fried Chicken Nuggets: An absolute must for any craving. Plenty to share with friends and the togarashi mayo dip is super delicious with it. Juicy bites with crispy batter, making everything about this appetizer perfect. Signature Tonkotsu (with Spice Umami): the noodles are sooo bouncy. I love how rich the broth is and how easy it is to bite into the Char Siu. It is so filling and honestly reminds me of my time in Japan. Tokyo Classic Shoyu (with Spice Umami): lighter broth compared to the tonkotsu, but just as delicious. This is another must-try! Ramen Wasabi will always remain as my top ramen shop in Chicago. Never had a miss with this. I would love to try their other dishes (donburi) when I have the chance...but their ramen is too good to not order

The ramen noodles have texture and not soggy. The broth, though a bit oily, was delicious with depth. The omurice is more of a novelty dish here. It's good, but if you've ever had the real thing, you'll know that it's not close to a real omurice. The curry that goes on top was basic and nothing special. Service can be a hit or miss.

On 7/18/2026 at approximately…read more9:30pm-9-45pm My friend and I were waiting for our ramen, we watched one of the kitchen staff check the noodles by reaching into the bowl with his bare fingers, pulling out some noodles, and putting them directly into his mouth to taste them. Then wiped his fingers on a dirty rag and proceeded to finish making the bowls. A short time later, we were served that same bowl of ramen. Watching an employee use their bare hands and mouth on food that was then served to a customer was extremely concerning and completely unacceptable from a food safety and hygiene standpoint. It ruined the experience and made us lose confidence in the restaurant's food handling practices. I hope management takes this seriously, retrains their staff on proper food safety procedures, and ensures this doesn't happen to anyone else.

    This is a unique ramen spot that specializes in beef-ramen! You don't find many spots like that,…read moresince many ramen shops tend to have pork broth or char siu (pork). We didn't come in with a reservation, but were seated very quickly (within 10 mins) at the bar. It was very cool to be able to watch the chefs cook up your ramen while you were seated! It has a fairly dark and intimate dining area, making it a great place for a date night. The Shoyu Plus had a unique depth to its broth, with delicious flavors within each bite. Something that I noticed was that it had a lighter broth compared to your traditional tonkotsu (pork broth) ramen. The Miso Wagyu is a smaller version of the Monster Ramen (their specialty). This was a decent size with again, lots of flavor. The broth was a little thicker (not too thick, but due to the miso). But it was just as good as the Shoyu Plus. If I had to choose between the two, I really liked the Shoyu Plus. But if it's your first time, try their speciality! Good depth in their broths, and an amazing place for those who cannot eat pork to still enjoy ramen here

    I was skeptical when I first heard the name Monster Ramen. All my previous personal experiences…read morehave always proven to me that restaurants with names that don't represent their culture in distinct ways are generally subpar. For example, I would usually never even think to step into a restaurant named Best China House, Sushi Bistro, or Mom's Korean Restaurant. (Apologies if your shops are named as such. These were meant to be generic examples) Oh, how times have changed. I would have never thought having a bowl of ramen at a Monster Ramen would give me this much pleasure. Part of it will (in fact, most of it) be on me and my general philosophy on fusion cuisine and outdated gemerational gap. There was definitely a time when avoiding agorementioned type of restaurants may have been deemed smart. But I feel the new generation of restaurant owners and chefs have up'd their games in not only at better food making, but also accepting of a bit more irony. Anyone who knows me knows how much I stay away from trying anything "fusion." It's kinda funny to myself how hypocritical it is that I would be totally okay in substituting an ingredient or two when I'm missing some when cooking, but when it comes to paying money to sit and eat that I would judge chefs by thier style of cooking. Yes, a big part of it is based on a large pool of personally gathered data, but I do acknowledge that I need to open myself up a bit more. Case in point. I was recommended MR by a fellow Yelper and I decided to give it a whirl. I happened to have a friend and his son with me, so I was able to do small tastings of 3 different ramen. And boy, was I pleasantly surprised. We collectively had bowls of shio, shoyu and miso specials. Plus, I ended up getting the Summer Special bowl to go for my wife. All of them had their individual charm to them but more importantly, each of them were made to perfection when it came to broth seasoning and noodle texture, which are THE two most important aspect of ramen, in my opionion. Not too salty nor bland soup. Perfectly dense noodles. I just loved all four! It wad when I tasted the yuzu in tgeir shio ramen that my wife would love it. Even though I brought her the spicy Sunmer version home, I still think it'll be worth bringing her and our daughter back when we get a chance to. Our server Dionne (I think) was most pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, too. It helped that I came before the dinner rush, although, I can also see more lively vibe being nice as well. Will be back with the fam definitely!
