    Iced Matcha Latte
    Han J.

    What an easy 5-star review for Gorilla Sushi! You will not find better value sushi in Chicago- bold statement I know. I have driven past them countless times and finally decided to stop in on a Sunday for lunch. It was the perfect casual date spot. We were the only ones dining-in around 1PM, but there were multiple food delivery drivers picking up orders during the time of our visit. We ordered the Crispy Bagel Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, Dragon Roll and Redeye Roll. This was the perfect amount of food to share between 2 people. I also started with an Iced Matcha Latte, which was delicious- not sweet and had a strong matcha flavor. All of that came out to just over $50-- what a deal!! As far as my most recommended roll, I can't even choose between the Dragon Roll or Crispy Bagel Roll because they were both scrumptious; you really can't go wrong. They have a list of basic rolls that cost just $3.95, the Salmon Avocado Roll included. I thought it was absolutely perfect for the price. Our waitress was so nice and attentive, juggling our table with all the takeout orders she was managing. She checked on us multiple times and made sure our water glasses were always filled. I was thoroughly impressed with Gorilla Sushi. If you're a "sushi snob" or looking for a fancy experience, simply don't come. But if you're looking for a low maintenance meal outing and a comfort sushi roll, then I cannot recommend Gorilla Sushi enough!

    I love gorilla sushi and have been ordering from there since 2016 but I was shocked at the quality I received today. Not only did the price go up but some pieces of my salmon avocado roll either have the tiniest piece of salmon in it or it's missing salmon/tuna all together. This is the other side of the roll..I pretty much got a rice ball :/

    Didn't feel like cooking tonight, so I decided to order some sushi. I wanted to try a new restaurant compared to the regular ones I order from and the sushi here was good. I had Godzilla Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, Crunchy Spicy Salmon Roll and a Philly Roll. The sushi was fresh and packaged well.

    Veggie rolls (Asparagus Roll) (Avocado Roll) (Cucumber Roll)

    This location is a few blocks from my apartment & It's my go/to when I want a Great Value! The miso soup is very good here (not too salty like I've found at other locations). I love a good seaweed salad & here it's Always crunchy & just enough vinegar to add a bite without being overpowering. At prices from $2.95-$14.95 there are SO Many options that I could get a few 6/8 piece rolls and Be Happy! To start, the fried Shumai & Shrimp Shumai were Delicious and plump! we ordered milder rolls as palate cleansers: the asparagus roll, avocado roll & cucumber roll - all three were crisp & light. For our main meal, we ordered a few rolls to share: Tigger Roll, Alligator Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, Mexican roll, Redeye roll, Golden California roll - all were colorful, fresh, vibrant, carefully crafted & packed for to-go! Some were spicy & some were not, but they were all of them LOVELY!! I ADORE Unagi, so the Unagi Don was a must try - It was Glorious!! We tried the Sashimi B (a chef's choice) for fresh fish & Again - Major Hit with the group! I'm Lucky to have a High Quality sushi place so close to my home in my neighborhood:)

    Tuna and Avocado Roll
    Marissa P.

    I've driven past this place a few times and we finally decided to stop by. It's a small restaurant but the servers were so sweet and kind! I just wish we were told about the specialty rolls on the board. We were sitting next to a loud group and since it is small it can get loud but that just comes with the territory! The miso soup was really good and came out hot. They brought over a whole thing of water to the table which was nice. And had ginger on the table readily available which is awesome for me since I always ask for extra. I ordered 2 tuna avocado rolls which I loved and the pricing is great too! I also ordered the red dragon roll but it was tiny and I didn't realize it was only 4 pieces so I wish I just got another veggie roll. Other than that was a good experience!

    This place is my go-to takeout place for sushi!! The portions are decent, and you can't beat the price! My favorites that I always get are spicy tuna, saba, hamachi, and miami roll. I also usually have a very sensitive stomach, and most sushi places don't sit well with me. I love it too much to stop eating though! I love that gorilla sushi's food has never given me an upset stomach! I'm definitely a loyal takeout fan!

    I have to say that having gone to the Gorilla Sushi in Albany Park already I was kind of disappointed. The pieces are a lot smaller in size compared to the ones in the other location. I also felt all the pieces were smashed together to fit them in the little container. The sushi tasted good, just not amazing as the one I had from the location in Albany Park, and I felt it wasn't so feeling because of the pieces' sizes. The price is still good for what you get.

    This place was pretty much what I expected. It's in a convenient location & has pretty cheap / fairly priced sushi ($4 for very simple rolls, $9-10 for more speciality, $14 on the higher end) Is it the best sushi ever... no but you also probably shouldn't expect that here. My order was ready on time and the worker was very kind. The fish was fine (not like insanely fresh but no red flags) & they used solid greens for the salad. I think it's better to carry out than dine in but if you needed a place to sit, the interior is fine. If you live in the area & want cheap sushi in a pinch, definitely go... but if you're looking for great sushi or a fun ambiance this probably isn't the spot. 3 stars because it's solid for THIS KIND of sushi place

    Dynamite Roll, Mini Godzilla Roll, Spicy Trio Roll, Miami Roll
    Mona M.

    Okay, I am a massive creature of habit, so when I find a gem of a business, I will support them HARD. I randomly found Gorilla sushi on Grubhub and it was a match made in heaven. 5 stars for value, taste, freshness, accuracy, speed, and consistency! Also, side note, this review is about food I get delivered, I have never dined in the restaurant. AND I am a strong believer that this is the best location. I'm pretty indecisive when it comes to choosing sushi rolls, so I LOVE that they offer smaller rolls. I'll normally grab like 4 smaller rolls and an app, usually the bazooka jalapeño, which is like a deep fried tuna jalapeño popper! My favorite rolls are the mini Godzilla, spicy trio, Miami and the dynamite roll. I'm just getting around to writing this review after I had ordered last week and talking about it just convinced me that I should order tonight too.

    Miami roll
    Mackenzie G.

    I have been to both the Lincoln Park and Clark location multiple times before, and I believe this location is superior to both of them. This location provides superior quality sushi with fantastic service. For anyone who hasn't been to either location, I think this is a great spot. It's puts a great face to the Gorilla Sushi chain. I went at around 2pm on a Friday and I was the only one dining. I was able to sit anywhere I wanted, and I ordered very quickly. The menu at this location is better organized and presented than the other two locations I've been to. My sushi came in under 10 minutes and all the rolls came out at once (unlike what they do at the Clark location where they come out as they're finished). The sushi was top notch. I ordered the spicy trio roll, Miami roll, mini Godzilla, spicy crunchy salmon, and dynamite roll. Each roll had a decent rice to fish ratio, and I didn't find any of them to be disappointing. My waitress gave me a last call on ordering sushi before they closed, which I thought was a nice touch. This location also did not have an issue with mildewy ginger and the decor is better than the Clark location's. I'm not sure why the Clark location is so coffee shop girly quirky. One interesting thing I noted was that a few of the rolls were different in quality this location. In particular, the spicy trio roll (my favorite roll at all of the locations) was tastier at this location than the Clark location's because they had an actual delicious crunch on the inside, although on the other side the Miami was actually smaller than Clark's, which I didn't mind because that roll is usually a little overwhelming. Definitely a great spot to get a quick fix on a sushi craving, especially on a bu ***Update *I recently noticed that Gorilla sushi raised all the $3 sushi items to $4 on online delivery services. I can confirm that this has not changed in the physical restaurant. Additionally, it is likely that you will be the only diner in the restaurant if you go at lunch time. Very empty every time I'm there for lunch.

    4 Pieces Gyoza Mini Godzilla Roll
    Chela B.

    This place is a hidden gem! Great prices for really tasty sushi. The portions are small so it's perfect to taste test a lot of the options. It has a cute patio on the side that's perfect for a inexpensive date night. And it's BYOB! They had lots of take out orders but service was a little slow for dine in. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Each plate $2.95!

    The price point is definitely right, but the fish weren't very fresh. Actually my boyfriend stepped out with an upset stomach.

Seating was comfortable. I tried their express lunch menu, which is a great option if you're here during lunch time. You get to pick 3 items from the list and I chose tako taco (a little spicy but highly recommend- one of my favorite things that day), salmon avocado (I'm not a personal fan of the Meyer lemon sauce), and tuna avocado rice bowl. Each item is smaller portioned but all together it's a substantial lunch set. I also tried the express sushi and sashimi lunch set, which comes with a delicious seaweed salad which I would order on its own as an appetizer. The lunch set comes with their "oh-my-kaze." This includes salmon, hamachi and tuna. One piece of tuna was substandard and had a big piece of sinew in it. Our server quickly switched it for another piece. The only dish I would skip is the Peking duck sizzling rice. The taste was fine- a little on the sweeter side with the hoisin sauce but the portion was more of an appetizer size. It's also not a true Peking duck, which focuses on a crispy duck skin and this dish just featured duck meat.

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.
