    The amount of publicity and social media hype this place gets is absolutely deserving of its spot. The amount of sushi options they have and the absolute presentation in chef's kiss. The quality is definitely better than places I usually frequent (ayce spots) and they have cuts of fish that is generally not available or is only available for an egregiously high price. The quality is surprisingly good, didn't know the Midwest was able to find fish this good. This place isn't really like a conventional restaurant, it's moreso like a grocery store that also happens to have sushi platters for sale. Likely the best bang for your buck outside of going to all you can eat.

    Lawrence Fish Market always comes through with the sushi party trays. You can order online for pickup and it's very convenient. The presentation of the tray is beautiful and the sushi is always fresh and delicious. It doesn't break the bank, either! Always a good price and thinking of getting another tray for NYE if they are open. This is more of a carry-out place but there are a few tables inside if you wanted to dine in. It's nothing fancy but their sushi is! Inside, it's also a little mini convenience store and they sell Asian chips and other grab and go items. Highly recommended ordering from them if you never have before.

    Sushi, nigiri and sashimi .... All so delicious and fresh!

    I've been going to lawrence fish market for so many years now. Their sushi / fish is always consistent, fresh and very good price but be sure to bring cash. They are cash only spot. Great customer service. They missed a roll from my order but they were able to give me credit back after I submit my photo as proof. Tip: call ahead to order and bring cash. It's a to-go sushi place and they get busy! I'm glad they opened another location in Bridgeport / Chinatown area.

    This place looks like a little store front. I recommend you call your order in. I ordered my favorite Maki Tray A1. It includes a Dragon, Spider, California, Spicy Negi salmon and ET roll. I also ordered the gyoza and crab Rangoon. Remember this is a cash only place, which I forgot. But they do have an ATM machine inside the restaurant. When you get there you notice that there are only about 3 tables. This is really meant for takeout. The nice lady asked me for my phone handed my order and I went back to my place to grub. The rolls are fresh and full of flavor. As far as my additional sides they were good but I think it would be better to order them when you get to the restaurant. Overall this is a great value and delicious.

    Absolutely fantastic. I do not know why I did not make the time to come here sooner. Called around 10:30a Saturday to get a 3A maki tray for that day at 2pm for our annual Hallmark Holiday Movie day with the girls. Found out that there's a 30 minute loading zone across the street which worked perfectly because I was in and out of the store in under 5-minutes. I was in and out so quick that I didn't catch if they even had music playing. They have a bunch of other food available, aside from sushi, and some fish in their case on display. There's also a free tables available to dine in if you'd like to. Which is definitely something I plan on doing very soon. The guys making sushi are back there knocking these beautiful and DELICIOUS trays and other food out and the gentleman at the register was so kind,m and effluent. Chopsticks, soy sauce, sushi back, pay and you're out the door. But when I tell you we raving about this sushi as we devoured it in minutes. I would have got 2 of these or another tray had I know we were going to be so wowed. Affordable, well seasoned rice and rice to fish/filling ratio, plus fresh, great qualify fish. I really recommend LFM! And recruited 5 new LFM fans As a reminder they are CAH ONLY.

    Hidden sushi gem that provides stellar quality fish at affordable prices. We made our own sushi trays and were blown away by the portions for what we paid. It held up even being carried out, too. Food reviews: Banzai--our favorite roll of the evening. Good amount of heat and the chili crunch makes the bite. Summer roll--bursting with fish. The spicy mayo wasn't overpowering and provided a super fresh bite with the lime Mexico roll--similar to summer roll with a few ingredient differences. We both liked the summer roll better with the heat coming from the spicy mayo over the raw jalapeño Moonlight roll--good roll. Definitely had other favorites from the night. Maki/nigiri--maki rolls were huge with a generous fish to rice ratio. Nigiri melted in your mouth.

    Easy takeout! Called ahead and order was ready on time with no issues!! Great price for the amount of sushi!

    If you want fresh and delicious "takeout" sushi in Chicago, this is the spot. Such an incredibly wide array of options, all of which are tremendously fresh. They offer sushi, maki, and sashimi options at very reasonable prices. They have hot options, drink options, and it all comes packaged beautifully. Their fish is directly imported from Japan and they have chefs meticulously inspecting every cut to ensure quality and consistency. We love their fatty tuna and salmon perhaps best, but have loved branching out... scallop, yellowtail, and eel have become new favorites. I went to pickup our platters with my brother (a market regular), and they gave us a big smile upon arrival. The counter service was extremely friendly and prompt, and the shop looked immaculately clean (very important for a seafood spot). Take a look at these photos and don't sleep on this Chicago staple.

    This spot serves truly authentic sushi that exceeded my expectations. It is bursting with flavor, and the freshness of the ingredients are really fantastic. It's definitely a hidden gem that I can highly recommend!!

    I'm actually in awe. Such a down to earth and humble sushi spot that serves up some incredibly fresh and delectable sushi. The staff here are such awesome people who put their customers first. It's very no-frills inside which I love; there's some seating but they thrive on their to-go orders that usually involve sushi trays which they have a plethora of options for. I mean it when I say this stuff is FRESH, it was the freshest sushi I've had I think in my life. And not to mention you cannot beat the very affordable prices they have here ($4 for a salmon avocado roll? Unheard of in Chicago). Pro tip: Bring cash because it's cash only but they also accept Zelle! I will 10000% be back!!!

    Maki and nigiri
    Alexia B.

    SO tasty and a great price! It's mostly order pickup only but there are a few tables to sit inside. It is cash only so be prepared for that, but it's tough to beat sushi of this value in Chicago. They also offer some Japanese/Asian drinks and snacks for purchase.

    The guest of honor wished for fish. Another great tray of sushi from Lawrence Fish Market for our party. The birthday girl requested sushi and that's what we got -- assorted rolls, nigiri, inari -- very fresh, generously sized and pretty inexpensive. Call ahead, pay cash -- that's what you must do -- then just relax and enjoy. Rice to meet you, Lawrence FM! Ebi-body clap your hands. You're shrimply adorable.

    Great unassuming sushi spot in Albany Park! The place was packed with to-go orders because it's already known how great of a spot this is. Keep in mind its cash only spot with some fixed prices & tray (no customizations). There's 3 tables in the storefront to enjoy sit down. The sushi & maki was fresh and did not lack in quality. Definitely would make this a regular sushi fix spot with how affordable it is :)

    Rice should not have gluten

    Do they accept Chase Quickpay?

    No. Cash only. Atm machine available in restaurant.

    Does anyone know if they are open on Christmas Day?

    I found a post from 4 years ago that said they were open 365 days a year.

    Where can you find the online menu? I see fuzzy photos, that is all. Please help! Thanks

    Call in preorder. Cash only.

    Are they still open?

    Yes they are, and they are as awesome as ever! Be sure to look at the website for exact pricing if you need it, as I noticed rolls went up just a tad from the older printed menu I had. Enjoy!

    Definitely recommend making reservations which you can do pretty easily online. I came on a Sunday…read morearound 5:15pm and it was already packed. They said it was one hour wait by the time I got there but they were able to seat me right away due to my reservation. We got seated at the bar which was cool cuz u can see the people making the sushi. It was a pretty causal vibe where you can hang with friends and such. They also had a good amount of seating. Okay now the food... it was really good. Mako scallop 10/10 this was my fave dish of the night. Super super creamy!! It also had avocado inside which helped w the creaminess. If you're by yourself just get the 5 bc it's so rich you might get tired of it. But yes I rly liked this one. Togarashi Chicken Nuggets 7/10: the seasoning was so good but it could be a bit dry some parts. The sauce was okay, it was like a garlic aoili sauce? But def crispy. Crispy tuna rice 6/10: I didn't really like this dish bc it felt like it wasn't spicy? Enough. The rice was crispy yes but the tuna on top just tasted kinda bland. Matcha tiramisu 9/10: I thought it was gonna be on the heavy and sweet side but I thought wrong! It wasn't too sweet and it was pretty airy. However the strawberry sauce wasn't my vibe but the cake itself was really good. I recommend you tell the server you'll put the sauce on yourself in case you don't like it. Hand rolls: Salmon avo 6/10: nothing super special Toro: 8/10 yummy and rich Scallop 6/10: I usually like scallop but this one was kinda like smoked? Idk but I liked the scalllop taste on the maki more. tuna crunch 8/10: the crunch made it pretty good texture wise Overall it was such a great place to have dinner. Our server was also so helpful and gave us his recs and they didn't disappoint. I would def come back if I was in the area!

    3.5 round to 4…read more Ordered A LOT for 2, pictures seemed a lot less. Would have been nice if staff made a comment, but also my fault for overordering. mr maguro set $50 megatron set $108 express lunch $21 Definitely could have gone without the express lunch (this would be a good option if it was just one person doing a quick meal). Overall, fish was fresh. Just couldn't fully enjoy the meal since we tried to stuff it all down.

I ended up calling the Printer's Row location and had the team talk to the manager at the Chinatown location, and the manager at the Chinatown location kept their stance that it does not work, stating Printer's Row location does not know why the gift card does not work at the Chinatown location, and will not make any exceptions to accepting the gift card. Thankfully at the Printer's Row location, they are stating it's due to their system being new as they are a new location, and reason why the gift card is not working at all the locations yet which they are now working on to fix so it does not happen to any other customer moving forward. I just wish the Chinatown location showed some compassion to address the issue and still accommodate the inconvenience instead of us having to go back to the Printer's Row location to use the gift card Price: Approximately $20, not including tip for 2 people. There are lunch specials! Ambience: Indoor Seating Overall: Worst experience, especially to follow up my birthday celebration

Limited drink menu, but my husband enjoyed the sake tasting and I stuck with wine. The chef also provided us some of his favorite liquor to do shots with the team lol. As they said: Never drive to Q Sushi! Only complaints were that we didn't get a menu to reference, and sitting at the bar, I watched them wipe the counter with the same rag over and over without cleaning it off or even shaking the bits of rice out of it. Gave me an ick! I'd like to come back here and try the regular menu as well, since the quality was good! Definitely a good place to go for a date night or with a fun-loving small group.

The shrimp temporary I could've lived without it. It's just fried shrimp very flaky the sauce it comes with is actually really delicious. We kept it for the remainder of the meal. Get the lychee martini it is divine and super smooth, not like a kick in your face! The ambience here is upscale of course you must dress to impress. They have window seating since the weather wasn't permitting for us to sit on the rooftop. Our waiter was really sweet. He was kind of busy so he was forgetful a little bit but super sweet. And we celebrated my birthday there so he got me a little birthday treat for free. I would come here again for the sushi and lychee martini! The bar looks super cute to just sit out and drink and have a quick Hamachi roll. I'll be back! Separate restrooms of course it's kind of hidden in the back.

The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. 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.
