We came here to celebrate after my boyfriend's graduation. We had the all you can eat sushi, and it was amazing! We ordered so many different kinds of sushi, including both traditional and fancier options. Everything was flavorful and tasted fresh! The sushi was nicely presented too. The interior didn't look very big, but they were still able to accommodate a large group like ours. We had a great experience here and would definitely revisit this place the next time we're in town! read more

First I wanna say, this is not the first time I've been to this restaurant. The first time, I came I loved it so much! The ramen was fabulous and the was sushi even better. However, this time around I was so sad because the chicken katsu bowl was so bland. It looked super good, but I couldn't taste the love or salt. What I do genuinely love about this place is how small it is, but the service is great. Maybe I'll come back in the future, but maybe just for sushi or Ramen. read more

My friends and I came here on our last day of Chicago, and it was such a nice little surprise! We loved the decor of this place, it felt quite homey and quaint. Our waiter was incredibly kind and checked on us all the time!!! And my ramen was so good, it was on the spicier side when I asked for spicy so beware (not a complaint at all, I usually don't get affected when I say spicy)! Also the look of the sushi speaks for the freshness itself. read more

Pretty cool sushi spot that offers unlimited sushi. They also sale by the roll. The food is very fresh, but sushi doesn't come out as fast as I expected to. Nonetheless, I will still come back here again as the food was good. read more

My friend recommended lunch at Kimura Sushi. She's a regular, this is my first experience. I am so happy that we dined there! It's a small dining space and at the time we had the place to ourselves (however, DoorDash orders were coming in!). Our waiter was so friendly and personable. He offered us samples of chicken with a new flavor that was great (I hope it's now on the menu)! The fried rice was fresh and did not require any sauce but they do offer yum yum and other sauces if that's your style! Also, if I lived near this place I would have a serious craving problem for their crab rangoons because they might have been the best I've had yet! The smoothies would also be a regular favorite for me as well. Go support this small business! I can't wait to go back! read more

Kimura Sushi - Dynamite roll, 093. Cubs Roll 8 Pieces, 089. Fire Dragon Roll 8 Pieces, volcano roll, hot angel roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Finally checked out this quaint ramen/sushi spot in Little Italy, and not sure if I'd dine again. The food was not very impressive and the portions were slightly on the smaller side. Granted, the prices are more affordable compared to competitors, but was really missing that flavor bomb. My salmon roll was poorly prepared and the size of the pieces were quite small. The rice in my Chashu bowl tasted like vinegar (they must've used the same rice used for the sushi) and threw off the whole palette. Service was not the great either as it seemed they were short staffed. We didn't get any refills on our drinks; overall service was just poor. read more

Food was amazing. We did 4 rolls and all of them were delicious. Service was good. They were attentive and friendly.

Absolutely delicious food here at Kimura Sushi. We started with a Miso soup, which is free when you check in on Yelp! Next, we had the crab Rangoons which ended up being some of the best rangoons we have had. The vegetable roll ended up being delicious because of the sweet potato inside. I have never had a vegetable roll with sweet potato before so it really was a game changer for me. Our friend ordered the spicy shrimp ramen, and the broth was to die for. If I am able to return I would order the ramen. The inside of the restaurant was very small and intimate. There was extra seating downstairs for more room. The waiter provided great service and he even let us Bluetooth our phone so we could play music over the speaker. Overall, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and letting us play our own music really added a personal touch that led me to leaving a 5 star review. read more

Was given a very, very small amount of fish in my poke bowl, left very unsatisfied. However, the staff was nice.

Food was absolutely amazing and delicious!!!! The service was also great our server was super kind, attentive, and generous. Definitely a wonderful experience overall! read more

Food was great. And service was excellent. Price was also very affordable given the area and for sushi.

A cozy little spot with decent ramen! The ramen and Takoyaki were both good but the sushi and chicken katsu rice dish were just okay. I probably wouldn't get a rice dish again, but I will be back for ramen. The broth was very rich and the noodles were good. read more

This place was really good! The salad was the best part! It was a decent price for all the food they give you

The service was great. The sushi fresh and tasty. I had the crunch roll (tempura with cream cheese, avocado, salmon I believe, and I added soy paper.) Green tea. And the gyoza. All very good. Will be back. Parking kinda sucks. read more

This spot is our go-to sushi in little Italy. They've got all you can eat for $24, and it's worth every penny (dine in only). The actual fish is impressive for a place that's a bit of a "hole in the wall" - it seems very fresh, and the owner is always there, making the sushi, serving the tables and taking care of business all around. They have some space for outdoor dining, and it's BYOB. read more

I was super excited to go to the Asian place my Brother & Wife raved about. Unfortunately, this was not a good time for them I assume. The server (taller Man with Glasses) was not up for the job of service. We arrived and was forced to sit in a small, 2 top table, as we were told a party of 4 would come. No one came. Then the server went downstairs for about 10 min. We were given plastic liquor cups with faucet water and the menus to review. Now, I love Asian cuisine, so when server returned asked us if we dined here before. I explained I haven't but heard good things. We proceed to order a variety of items for the sever to advise us we shouldn't since I have not been there before and don't know what it may taste like. Confused, I advised I was okay and ordered 2 apps, 2 rolls and ramen. Food came and I was disappointed... Flavorless and not the same items or prepared the same as my brother had experienced. I am now super disappointed. While our server could care less about our experience there was no need to complain. They have an offer inside, that if you check in Yelp, you can get a chicken appetizer. But here is the catch!! They require you to give then a 5-star rating before your dining experience. read more

We came here after my daughter's graduation. She wanted sushi, but a quiet place. We were 7 people. The restaurant is unassuming. Perfect for us!

It was a great afternoon. read more

Black garlic miso with charsu: I did not make a big deal out of it, but I had asked for udon instead of ramen...but I was still served ramen noodles. Even the recipe said udon -_- The broth was too salty, I couldn't even taste anything else. The black garlic and sesame were too overpowering and all you really taste is the sesame. The chasu was very tough and overcooked. The thin noodles were okay. The only good thing was the house made chili sauce. It had a very nice roasted aroma. The guy next to us got the challenger ramen and he said it was very spicy. So I didn't put too much, but the first scoop didn't feel spicy enough so I add more. The spice does not hit you in the face right away, but it lingers...in a nice way. The perfect amount of spice, so to say. I know this isn't probably a spot to try their ramen and their sushi is probably why they have a 3.5 stars. But this review is based on the ramen only. read more

This place is underrated. I'm no sushi connoisseur but I really enjoy the sushi. The prices and service was up to part. My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty dead so the staff was very attentive. After reviewing the menu we ordered eel, pork pot stickers, Japanese fried chicke, the Mexican signature roll, salmon roll and the shrimp tempura roll. The rolls came with miso soup I could've done without the soup. Overall this was a great experience the presentation was nice. The only reason why I gave this 4 out of 5 stars is because the lack of cooked sushi options and the miso soup. I recommend and I will go back. read more

Ok so I rate this a 3.5 but will round to 4. I went with friends. Two of us got ramen and rolls and another got all sushi. Their new thing is 22.95 sushi all you can eat. So I see a lot of people getting to. I think they have a wide variety of options but the issue is that the rice is off. It's not flavored super well tbh. The inside variety is solid. So they just gotta work on the rice. They have good vegetarian options too! As for the ramen it's solid, but they rely on the spicy chilly oil a little much. It feels like it overpowers the rest of the ramen. The egg is real good. As is the chasu. It's v yum like they know how to make a food chasu. But the rest is kind of average. It's nice to get to pick what broth and type u want. Maybe more flavoring and even salt. It just felt spice. The 2/4 felt like a 3 lol. Crab rangoons not bad pretty big. Overall there's an upstairs and downstairs and cool decor. Nice friend or date spit Updating: 2nd time here I got all u can eat and the rice is still off as of December 2019. The Chicago and the black dragon were pretty good. Like I'm saying, overall ok but ya read more

Wonderful little Japanese place on Taylor with friendly vibes and friendlier prices for a graduate student. The maki roll was 10.pcs for $13 and ramen $14. Had the Godzilla roll and a bowl of spicy tonkotsu with charsui spicy level 3. I was pleasantly suprised with their unassuming ramen and the flavorful broth. Fresh soba noodles and a perfectly cooked ramen egg was just the thing. They have a wide variety of regular and signature maki rolls as well as an all you can eat for $25. Comparing ramens across chitown I would put this one in my top 5. The owner/chef was super nice and came to chat with us before closing for the day.Would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in Japanese food. read more

Kimura breathes a fresh of breath air to the slumping sushi options in University Village. It resembles its predecessor "Ichiban" in many ways, and I'm still not convinced they aren't owned by the same management as the god-awful Volcano down the street. However, they're probably the best we've got in terms of sushi and Chinese-style appetizers that you can get. W'eve been here twice now- both for the $19.95 AYCE dinner option. Anyone that has experience with Japanese food will notice the Chinese influence over its food. The appetizer choices were definitely a great start with many resembling what you would find in dim sum restaurants- the shrimp toast for one, and the sweet-and-sour katsudon that they serve. Be warned that they don't use katsu sauce and pile on a lot of rice with that option. I'd avoid to save room for sushi. As for the sushi, we were impressed by how good the options were especially when it came to the Chef's Specials. All the other rolls are fairly basic (California roll topped with some sauce and added ingredient), but the three Chef Special's were fantastic. Sweetheart was our favorite with the Double Flame coming in a close second. However, the way they prepared it seemed to change in between chefs. I like consistency but it's not a huge deal. Service here was good overall especially for only having one server go up and down the restaurant. She must have legs of steel walking up and down each time. Our only major gripe about Kimura was that during our second visit (with two people again), gratuity was automatically included. Nowhere on the menu does it indicate this, and when asked, our server stated it was simply the way it is. Our first visit did NOT have added gratuity so I would ask beforehand if you are picky about a forced tip. Other than that, KImura is a solid addition to the sushi family and likely the one I will be going back again if I am craving AYCE that's closeby in University Village. read more

Came here a while back and wanted to make it back but just haven't been in the area. Back during the thick of Covid i appreciated how diligent they were with social distancing and overall keeping patrons safe. Following protocols aside, their food was great in my opinion and I really appreciated the variety they offer. From ramen to bowls to fresh fruit smoothies they really have it all. Hoping to do the all you can eat sushi soon read more

My order was takeout. The staff was super friendly and understanding of the situation with Covid. We ordered one Fried Chicken Ramen and one Pork Belly Ramen, along with the Avocado Bomb appetizer. Delicious Avocado Bomb. It reminded me of tempura veggies. The Ramen was super tasty and filling. They do a great job of separating the broth from the noodles. Overall, delicious food and attentive staff. We will continue to patronize them through the pandemic. Thank you for making delicious food. read more

It's silly but the first thing I'm going to rave about is the sushi rice! Wow. Nice flavor (they must have cooked it with their own vinegar mixture). Great fluffy texture. It was a great pairing with the poke. The miso tonkotsu ramen was good. A nice mild blend. Great broth. Nothing overly salty or overly powering. Chasu is homemade! Sashimi was fresh and more than worth the price. I got the usual: salmon, white tuna and tuna. Can't go wrong with these! I think because they're so common they go through it fast hence the freshness My sister is looking at potential colleges and if she goes to UIC this is def the go to place. read more
