My absolute favorite place! The food sis always so good and fresh. If you haven't tried the fried chicken ramen, you are missing out!

Went here against my better judgment, the cleanliness and waiter's unenthusiasm was an immediate red flag. The sushi here is so bad, we took a few bites of what was recognizable and had to leave the table and restaurant full stop. Anyone that eats here is taking a risk. After telling the waiter that Nothing we ordered felt safe to eat. He said we were the 1st to complain in 5yrs. I was shocked this place has been open for 5yrs. This place should be closed. read more

This place is so great! I recommend to come here. It is in a great area. They have great food options for anytime any day. They have a little seating area outside for warm days! If you come I hope you enjoy! read more

Cons: staff does not appreciate ethnic minorities. There were two couples seated (both Caucasian) when we were seated and ordered our lunch. And ofcourse, we were the only brown couple that the waitress kept asking (15 mins after serving our food) if we were done with, even though she could clearly see that we were still eating. Never did she extend that 'courtesy' to the other guests. This was quite a turn off when she said that a third time. I would understand her rush if it were a busy hour but there were at least a couple of empty tables but no waiting guests. Pros: food is average as we ordered the tofu udon and chicken ramen noodles. Certainly not a place for non-caucasians to dine in. read more

Pretty good sushi for the price point. The service was okay. I went with a friend and we both decided it wasn't amazing but not the worst either. read more

food still continues to be good, but the male server of the restaurant is very passive aggressive. i had gone once to show my friend this place and my food was wrong and we asked for the dish i had originally ordered without being rude about it bc stuff happens and i work in the service industry so i felt bad saying something. time goes by and i go in with my partner and other friend, ordering the same thing without thinking much of it. when we all get our food, he tells me that it's udon noodle and repeats himself aggressively while he walked away from our table. i had a feeling it was about the mixup the other time i had gone and felt kind of taken aback with his attitude while we were dining in. however there was another woman who served us the rest of the visit, and she was very kind so all in all, still like this place!! the ambience is very relaxed and laid back. if i could do 3.5 rating i would but i can't !! read more

This restaurant is located in the heart of Little Italy Chicago and the location made me think of going there. This Japanese style restaurant replaces a Chinese restaurant that was in it's place. The atmosphere is okay, until they hand you a dirty menu with food encrusted on it. You may also experience having dirty chopsticks or cups. Every customer who had walked in and sat down made their way out the door eventually without ordering. Cleanliness is an important factor when choosing a sushi restaurant. The staff is very friendly but it is very hard to communicate with them. Plates lack of authenticity. Reasons to eat here: - There will never be a line going to this place - Friendly staff - Prices are very cheap Here are negative notes about this restaurant: - They do not serve alcohol - Free parking will be almost impossible to find - Lack of cleanliness - Authenticity of the meals are scarse - You get what you pay for read more

I had some time to for lunch while I was on shift, all I had was the sushi but man was it good and satisfying. The staff is also super friendly as me and my partner are EMS workers and they offered to make our food as fast as they can when ever we call so we can eat and go. Definitely recommend this place for any one who wants to try some good Japanese food. read more

I never leave reviews, but I am making an exception for this spot. I've been here twice now, and both times have been great. Both the sushi and ramen were amazing. The service was also great and accommodating. read more

We had a craving for AYCE sushi and this place happened to be the closest one to us. Unfortunately, we were disappointed because they have a limited selection especially when it comes to the appetizers and signature sushi. Miso soup was also so bland that it tasted like the instant ones you buy from the grocery. They were even out of the masago sushi, which is so easy to get now because even HMart Chicago sells it. Other places even have dessert for the same price so the next time we crave for AYCE sushi we'll just drive a bit more because it's worth it! However, Kimura improved a bit because we remember eating AYCE here when it had another name and we were also disappointed because they put too much rice on the sushi. Now, they just had enough rice in it and the avocado and other ingredients tasted fresher. read more

Kimura Sushi - AYCE MENU JAN 2020 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is so good, quick, chill and the prices are amazing!!!!!! I had 3 sushi rolls under 20$ and my man had the spicy fried chicken noddles , AMAZING !! & they are low key so the wait time is No Time .... Thank you Kimura we will be back for more read more

Ignore some of the early poor reviews about service. This is a chef owned 1st restaurant and when he first opened, yep, front of the house had issues. But the sushi was always amazing. Now, so we are talking Spring 2019, the place rocks with the best Sushi in the UC/Tri-Taylor area and BYOB to boot. They offer both a la carte and AYCE options. Just ask for the AYCE menu, have them open your wine (be prepared to be carded since they are close to Universities) and you will have the best sushi experience under $25 pp including tip. read more

Food was AMAZING! Came across this place by accident when our favorite Thai place was closed. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. Might come back tomorrow for more ramen! read more

Came in for sushi on a Sunday evening. It wasn't busy or anything. Service is decent since the waitress is attentive. The structure is the same as when it was owned by other people. The interior had a little change by adding a red curtain to where we used to look over for the kitchen. I'm slightly dismayed by that. To the food... I loved that they offered shrimp toast (item that used to be on the dim sum menu in Chinatown years ago). Other appetizers I've tried was the breaded pork chop on rice with sauce. The description is tangy but I felt the sickly sweet more than the tang I was promised. Not ordering that again. Miso soup was disappointing since it was really bland and used firm rather than soft tofu. Their traditional rolls tastes the best (not a big fan of a lot of sauces on my maki). Their nigiri has a decent fish to rice proportion. Other AYCE will give a huge hunk of rice with a thinly sliced fish lol. I'm not sure about coming back since my favorite spider roll and volcano roll is no where to be found on the AYCE menu. Perhaps the poor impression is from the taste of the bleach in the water when we first received the glass. Some warnings... take a whiff before you gulp. I nearly drowned in that pool water. Always be careful with the amount of food you order, they will charge you for rice in appetizers and sushi lol. We asked to make sure about the penalty charged and not allow that to happen. Some other cons will have to be the limit on how much we can order at once. Since three of us ordered on the sheet at once our sushi came in increments instead of all at once. Oh, something memorable was how everyone has to wait for someone to open the door for them. It appears to be locked. We found it interesting when we first arrived because the waitress popped right up to open the door for us. Happy eating :) hope your experience is better than mine! read more

I don't even write reviews, but I have to for this one....this was our first time dining in here and our hard earned money should have gone elsewhere. to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Diet Coke (expired by 6 months) didn't even take it off the bill btw. miso soup - straight water (offered hot sauce to make it better?) Got the order wrong, no plates, etc. To top it off I pay for it and my credit card isn't even there, had to track that down too.... I thought I was getting punked... where's Ashton? read more

Location 5/5 - right on Taylor street with lots of affordable parking around it. The restaurant itself is small and tends to get crowded when busy Service 5/5 - very polite and informative Food 5/5 - we were salivating by just looking at the menu. Lots of options, they've got Ramen, sushi AND poke! Under one roof! It's true! We ordered Ramen and poke and loved both. Looking forward to trying more of their delicious items! Verdict: definitely a hidden gem! read more

Ordered salmon roll, fried calamari, and takoyaki through Postmates. Very good sushi and very good deal. Salmon was fresh and generous, and takoyaki was a new experience and was tasty. Calamari was good but mostly breading. It was my first time ordering from here and will definitely be going back. read more

Service was excellent! We ordered the jalapeño poppers appetizer. They were good but would be much better if they were filled with tuna instead of crab. We also got the baked dragon roll and the crazy Chicago roll. Both were delicious but I do wish the baked roll had a little less of a smoky flavor to it. It's a cute little restaurant, wasn't too busy which I appreciated. Would come back to try the ramen! read more

This is my go-to sushi spot! The all you can eat sushi special is fairly priced and the quality is consistent. I have gone here a handful of times and have yet to be disappointed! The space is small but have never had an issue getting a table right away. I feel like this is a hidden gem on Taylor street that deserves more attention. A friend and I used to go to sushi spot a few blocks away but decided to try this place instead and we haven't gone back. Plus, the service is always great! If you're ordering from the all you can eat menu the apps I recommend are miso soup, edamame, crab rangoons, fried chicken and gyozas. If you're ordering sushi from the all you can eat menu the rolls I recommend are spicy carb, sweet potato, Mexican, rainbow, and double salmon. read more

Recently discovered this place after walking down Taylor in search of new places to try. The sushi AYCE menu was okay. It was a little bland but okay for price. Where this restaurant really shines is in their Ramen abilities. The bowls of ramen are very filling. You get to choose the spice level as well. I love spice so I got 2nd to most spiciest and it did not disappoint. The amount of noodles and chicken they put is very much worth the price. This is now my go to ramen restaurant. Definitely recommend. read more

Service is always good here, but I really cannot recommend anything with sushi here. The place recently redid their menu, which ironically is worse than their last one. Let me explain. I always did not like sushi rolls here because rolls had this crunchy fillings mixed in their spicy tuna. Maybe it is for crunch, but it felt very cheap to me. My go-to was their poke bowls, which were better for the price in my opinion. Now new poke bowls are much more "skimpy" for the same price. Much less sushi, lettuce instead of seaweed salads, and smaller portion in general. It is quite disappointing now! read more

Kimura Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here with some coworkers on 8/25 last year for all you can eat sushi. It's BYOB and they'll gladly supply you with sake glasses. They were able to accommodate 2 tables for us near each other as we were 2 groups of 4. They raised the AYCE price to $28 from $24 due to covid if I remember correctly which we were all 100% okay with. We work in the service industry and agree anyone working right now should receive hazard pay. We all left ready for a nap with super full stomachs. The sushi is delicious especially for the price and there's a HUGE variety of pieces to choose from. My personal favorite was the Chicago roll. Our server was the only server working, and was still super attentive to us, even with all of his tables sat. Can't wait til it's warmer out again so I can bring my new coworkers here! read more

My husband and I ate here a few weeks ago and we had a great experience. The customer service was excellent - they were out of one of the sauces for one of the sushi rolls we ordered and they gave us 10% off our entire order, not bad! We spoke with one of the chefs, Rocky, and he was great, really wants to make sure customers are happy. Our sushi tasted great, the Godzilla roll was one of our favorites. We'll be back! read more

Excellent food, good prices, food comes quickly, but SLOW overall service, so order quickly. Sushi and ramen are highlights. Small dinning area on main floor and more seating downstairs. read more

Price, location, quality, let's me put this at 5 stars. So, I usually don't get Sushi unless its AYCE. However, I had an app and ordered through here for a Spicy Salmon Roll. Everything tasted fresh and quality...totally opposite of what I was expecting. And for then PRICE? Yeaaaah, I'm not mad at all. read more

Very reasonable, fresh and delicious. I'm pretty picky about my sushi too. Staff is extremely inviting

Uber eats failed to deliver our item and instead canceled our order! The restaurant called us to make sure we got our order, they delivered it to us for free!! Food was amazing of course read more

They don't use real ramen noodles in their ramen. That was disappointing (I should have read the yelp reviews before ordering that, my bad). The sushi was decent. I'm not a fresh fish kinda snob, I'd say if it doesn't taste like it'd send me to the restroom, I'm cool with it. Saw that lunch was $15.95 for AYCE. Coworker and I said we would come back to try that out. Things to note: -Check groupon first -Don't order the ramen unless you don't want something resembling ramen -They take card Side story: Came here because they had a groupon for the cheaps so why not try it out. My coworker and I went for a weekday lunch, parked on the street, was approached by a pan handler saying that if we ate at any of the restaurants between Loomis and some other street, we could park in that gravel lot on taylor and Loomis. After checking out the gravel lot, my gut instinct said this didn't seem legit to me - there weren't any signs except for the tow truck company you can call if your car was towed.. for all I know guy could have been working for the tow truck company. We went ahead and paid the $1.25 to park on the street. (If you have any information on that gravel lot and whether it's legit, lmk!) read more

Ordered thru Postmates but I'll just order directly from now on. The food was really delicious. Loved the pork buns, the yellowtail Himachi and the kids loved chicken katsu. Will def add to the rotation! read more

Definitely my go to sushi in Little Italy/ around the medical district. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

So impressed with Kimura. I found them when searching for "tempura chicken sushi" and was quite impressed with the quality of the meat and overall presentation. I will continue to order from this establishment. I have only utilized the delivery service but they always make sure to include everything requested. Thanks, Kimura! read more

We went in to do a take out order and the employee accepted our order and told us to wait for 15 minutes. After waiting for 15 minutes, another employee came up and told us they are out of ingredients. We asked more questions and they said they are out of ingredients for take out order, but had ingredients left for dine in. If they told us earlier before paying and waiting, that would have been fine, but telling us afterward is a bad customer service. And telling us that they still have ingredients left, but not for take out after making us wait for 15 minutes is just rude. This was my first time here, but won't come back again. read more

Do NOT go here. This was hands-down the WORST dining experience I've ever had. Some highlights from my visit: - Food took over an hour to come out and we were the only table there - There was only 1 waitress and she would disappear for 20+ minutes at a time - Waitress did not bring us small plates until 15 minutes after the appetizers came out (and we had to ask 3 times for plates) - Waitress brought several dishes we did not order and refused to take them away - Some dishes were made horrendously wrong (spicy mayo and eel sauce on sweet red bean sesame balls) - Sushi had fruit flies crawling on it when it came out - Sushi rice was not seasoned - Kitchen only made half of my order and the waitress did not care when I informed her - Half of the appetizers came out at the very end of our meal - After 2 hours at the restaurant, we needed to leave. Despite asking twice, the waitress refused to give me the rest of my order. She said I could re-order my items but I couldn't take them in a to-go box, so I ended up not getting it at all - They overcharged us by $8, tried to hide it by not giving us an itemized receipt, and would not remove the charge when we asked - Several people in my group became violently ill several hours later (check the health inspection records for this place on Yelp, they have 8 health code violations from January 2022) Reply to the owner: "This guy order *all you can eat* for diner.and asking for AYCE sushi to-go": You didn't give me the food that I originally ordered and waited 2 hours for. I needed to leave at that point so of course I would ask for it to go since I needed to leave. "For no pay. so cheap.with no pay .This guys so cheap.": Not only did I pay the full $27.95 + tax/tip for AYCE, I also paid the additional $8 that you charged us. Why would I need to pay extra for the food that I ordered as part of AYCE but did not receive? "we were busy ,.you are not the only one customer": When we walked in, there was only 1 table and they had already received their food. The next party did not come until 30 minutes after we had placed our orders. I understand you could have had delivery/pickup orders, but it should not take 1 hour to serve the only party in your dining room. "and big liar for ever.e only one customer.": I have no reason to lie about a random small restaurant. As a line cook, I want to support small restaurants, but simultaneously warn people about malicious restaurants who take your money with no regard for quality or safety read more

Cozy space for sushi! We did not order AYCE, but our sushi sashimi set satisfied my hunger! Never seen a sashimi slide that is bigger than this place. Definitely great for budget and sushi craving! read more

To be referred to as the black guy that only likes to eat Mexican rolls is kind of sad. I head to this restaurant after being multiple times to order take out; unagi and a Mexican roll. The guy at the front counter goes on to say after I asked for the Mexican roll "try something else the other black guy comes in and order Mexican roll you two must be friends". Quite sad given the times we are facing. read more

In town for a couple days at a nearby AirBnb, and decided to try Kimura Sushi. The yellowtail and tuna Nigiri were so delicious as were the cucumber and yellowtail rolls. The quality of the fish is exceptional, and the soy sauce had a lot of depth, and a slight sweetness. Really great 'eats' worth the visit. read more
