Heard about this place in Waukegan to get sushi and we got surprised the first time coming. It has a drive thru if you can believe it. Master Sushi may be a misnomer of a name but it still wasn't that bad though. A cheaper option but not crappy flavor. There was actually quite a lot as far as portions. Coming here and finding out there was a drive thru was making us feel uneasy about it. It's got a dining area inside, and you order at the counter covered in big pictures. This for sure wasn't a high end place, but it still ended up having okay taste. Good enough. It's about $8 for a roll. The Avocado Roll is the one for vegetarians. All the others have meat or seafood, which is the one bad thing about it. The roll was good though. Got to say it was better than expected. It's located on Grand Avenue at McCaree. They have a children's menu and one roll okay for vegetarians. read more

This is an interesting place. You can drive up order, or go in. The food is predominantly sushi rolls, along with sashimi and other options. The food is well prepared and fresh, and is a very good value. Ordering at the drive up window was surprisingly quick and efficient. We have eaten in a couple of times, and the interior space has a very contemporary flair. Ordering is done at the counter. We will come back! read more

What a great addition to the area! We've eaten here several times and each time has been good food and friendly, fast service. Prices are kind of high and their seaweed salad is noticeably meh, but otherwise, no complaints here! Dining room is comfortable and spacious. The recommended review that shows for me when searching for this video talks about getting sick from the food, but that hasn't been our experience at all. I've eaten both raw and cooked salmon here with zero issues and I will definitely return! read more

5 stars for Master Sushi in Waukegan! The staff are very friendly and make your bowls very fast here. I only tried 2 bowls this time, but they also have a bunch of rolls and a few appetizer options. I dined in, but thought it was cool they had a drive thru for sushi I have never saw that before anywhere for a restaurant like this. The fish is extremely fresh and the portions are good, there are plenty of tables inside to dine in and it's very clean and new looking. I highly recommend a visit - will definitely return. read more

I can't speak for inside the restaurant as my experience has only been through ordering online for delivery. My colleague and I usually get one of the bowls, chicken for her and spicy salmon/tuna for me. They are delicious 2 out of 3 times we've ordered. Last time, the rice was undercooked and crunchy but there wasn't really anything we could do about it as we needed lunch and had meetings to attend. Aside from that, everything is always delicious. The only thing I wish they would take into consideration for online orders that include multiple bowls....put forks, chopsticks and soy sauce in the bags that are suitable for multiple bowls/sushi rolls because 98% of the time, each one is for different people and we don't always have utensils available at the office. Will I eat there again, sure, but they need to consider a single order could be for multiple people, and make sure the rice is cooked all the way before making the orders. Undercooks rice is not good on the digestive system. Would have given 5-stars otherwise. read more

I can say that I'm not the one to like or eat sushi, but when I tell you I bought the Mexican Fiesta roll and it changed my entire look on sushi. It was the best I've eaten. Every time I want sushi it's always Master Sushi. Unfortunately I live 3 hours away but any time I can get close by I'm going to Master Sushi. Congratulations on making another person love sushi. Great work guys it's always so good. Great service and very clean restaurant. read more

I stopped by master sushi just to try it out. I ordered myself the sushi burger, I got the kids nuggets, and the kids meal. The sushi burger sounded like a cool thing to get, but it was a little tough to eat. The sauce on top was cute but hard to not get it all over your hands. The burger was tasty. The kids loved their food. For the kids meal you get a small roll, an egg roll, and a capri pouch. The service was good, the cashier was helpful, and gave us the most popular picks. We dinned in, it seemed like the drive through was really busy. We waiting about 25 mins for our food. Next time it might be better to go through the drive through for less of a wait time. read more

Nice people but very very bad food. It feels like a shushi Mexican fusion where both didn't come out well. I e had a sushi roll and a beef bowl and a shimp tempura appetizer. They were all really bad. And we wasted almost 50% read more

We enjoyed it so much we have no pictures to show. We ate everything we ordered. It was so delicious. My granddaughter and I loved eating there and are going back again read more

When I first started coming here, I would order in person. The cashier would let me know that since I ordered the grilled shrimp bowl and would take of things, I could substitute it for something else. I chose mango and it was an amazing choice. Then, when I would order through the drive thru, SOMETIMES they would add it. Other times they'd "forget". Today, I ordered again and asked the cashier if they added the mango and he said no bc the owner said they couldn't add it because it was an extra cost. I told him that in the app it does not give you that option. He said he knew that but that the owner has been lazy and procrastinated making that change in the app. He also mentioned I am not the first person to mention that. I don't mind paying extra for it but it's not good that it's not an option in the app and that they refuse to substitute it when asked. They should listen to their clients since this seems to be a popular choice. I don't plan on coming back here again - sucks that they have to lose a customer due to poor and lazy management. read more

I must admit I approached this sushi restaurant with caution due to the 'drive in' concept, however after friendly guidance from the nice girl working the counter I enjoyed a delicious grilled salmon rice bowl. The salmon was flavored and cooked perfectly (not dry/overcooked) and the other ingredients were fresh and delicious. Very much enjoyed my meal. read more

Visiting family from out of town. Was pleasantly surprised! Loved this as a healthy option!

I reviewed this place in the past, and if anything it has gotten better. I have been back here a dozen times in the short amount of time since they opened. Their black spider egg roll is the thing that I continuously get and the eggrolls almost cause my synapses to overload because they are so good! (it's hard, coming up with new unique ways of describing food) :-) read more

I have been waiting for this to open and tried it today. We ordered tempura, sushi roll tempura and ocean catch roll the sushi were good and price right but the tempura is obviously from costco. The inside is clean but still have room to make more aesthetically appealing. Will give another chance since the cashier might be the owner asked us about our experience and said they still trying out. read more

It was so good, nice big sushi roll, service was friendly too. The ride were no people because we ate a late lunch but it was fantastic. Nice little sushi place, 10/10 would recommend read more

Overall it's a unique take on a sushi place. There's some creative items on the menu. If you're looking to try something different, but not necessarily amazing tasting sushi then you won't have a problem with the food. I just feel like it should be more flavorful considering the interesting ingredient lists on these rolls. I also noticed the Spider Roll seemed like it was missing some ingredients & maybe had replacement ingredients as well? Bathroom also was unkept and pretty gross. Since it's fairly new I would think they would want to make a better impression. It's a brand new place so I'm sure it'll take time to perfect what they're trying to do. For now it's exactly what you expect; drive thru sushi. read more
