Great little casual sushi place. The half price sushi and martini deal before 6 that includes weekends? Amazing! I ordered a rainbow roll and a creative roll that included apple in it. Both were good sized and was really good! Others at my table ordered the vegetable dragon roll and it was huge. We came at an off hour so the service was relatively quick, no complaints! I'll definitely need to go here again when I'm in the area. read more

Beyond average sushi, but they have such a good rating on here. I felt the sushi was too saucy. We also tried to order a roll and they said they were out... how? Weird like cross it off the menu or share that up front. We came here on a Saturday at 6pm and had made a reservation online for 5 people. I don't think we needed the reservation because there was plenty of seating. We got the shumai, fried pork skins, and three rolls. I also had a martini that was way too sweet and not worth it. It took a normal time to get all the food but it was all luke warm. They also do not have a kids menu. read more

Every time I'm here I'm shocked it's not more crowded. They have daily 1/2 price Maki rolls (with over 30 options) all day up until 6pm and daily happy hour on drinks (martinis only -- $8, normally $15) from 4pm - 6pm. The makis are martinis are both consistently top-notch and the service is excellent! read more

Miku Sushi Restaurant - Daily Martini Happy Hour 4pm - 6pm - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ooof, the experience started stressful. We had reservations at 8:15pm and we weren't seated until 8:40ishh (we weren't the only people in this situation, there was a line blocking the door) We finally got seated and waited about 20mins before our order was taking for drinks and food (they did bring us water). I understand they were busy but I was already over it. The food came out quickly right after the order was taking. The skewers were good, we tried the alligator and squid. The sushi was okay, wouldn't recommend it there's other places in the city that has way better sushi. We also had ramen which was really good!! We wouldn't go back giving other options on the city for better sushi. Our experience was mediocre AF!! read more

We arrived around 8:45-9pm. It was Oktoberfest outside and we wandered in for the first time. Ambiance was clean, quiet, low lighting. It really helped the headache I was nursing. Uni Oyster shooters 4 stars. Flavorful! Crab uni maki. 4 stars. Tasted good. Ramen. We both ate. I give 4 stars. Needed to trim fat off the meat, and because I eat at a lot of ramen places, I think this one was very good, but something needs to be upped in the flavor. Miso soup - 5 stars. It really was tasty and helped my headache. :) The wait staff was fine. Quick to pick up used plates and help us pack. No problems. read more

To start, I've made it almost a mission to try as much sushi as I can in this city and I've tried most places. This place is ranked one of the best, in my opinion. This place has got to have one of the best sushi happy hour deals in the city. Get here before 6pm and your rolls are HALF off, as well as $7 martinis. We started with a round of the Kyoto Lime, which was recommended by the waiter. For $7 a pop you can't really beat it. There were so many maki options and they were all so cheap that we ended up getting five rolls when the plan was three. No regrets, they were each delicious and different. The king crab maki was my personal fav. I'd go here even after 6pm. The maki was unforgettable and the martinis were creative and fun. read more

Went for lunch today, super cute spot with plenty of room. The service was great the server was checking in with us and removing plates as we finished items. We started with some miso soup and tea, both were delicious. And then we got a couple rolls, avocado, cucumber, sweet potato, and a dragon roll! Soooooo goood! Defiantly go before 4 they have a half off sushi menu! read more

My server was super rude. My sushi roll was cut super big and when I told my waitress about it, all she could do is recommend me cutting it in half by myself the whole roll fell apart, so I wasn't able to eat it when I asked her if she could just have them redo it and cut it into smaller pieces for me. She kept giving me excuses on why they can't can't do it and I asked politely please can she just ask them and she'll ask them, but she's going to charge me. I didn't even eat any of the sushi rolls so I don't understand. Why would I get charged again? I don't recommend this place. read more

Sushi was ok but probably the best among all the item we ordered. Ramen has too much MSG, noodles overcooked and very few, very greasy. Not great service - forgot my order and not attentive at all. Bathroom door lock had issues to lock and toilet paper had run out... We will not come back. read more

Miku has a half priced maki rolls before 6pm specials which is a nice deal. Its mid sushi. It's in lincoln square and convenient sushi if you are around the area. If you have a sushi craving and you do not want a omakase dining experience and price point, it's a decent place to go to satisfy your sushi cravings. Service is slower when it gets busy but good service. Not super fancy, casual setting. read more

Had a great time at Miku. The staff was nice and attentive. We made reservations because we weren't sure how busy it would get. They seated us right away without any problems. The Maki and happy hour is half off of you place the order before 6pm. Can't beat that for cheaper food and drinks. The Maki we order were all picked at random except for the 1 that was recommended by the waiter. All the maki's were very good. The stand outs were Momo Maki was a table favorite and the Robusta was different and had a nice crunch to it. The Hangover and Flaming Dragon were the choice of my friends. The skewers we ordered were the scallops, alligator and ribeye. The alligator was a bit tough but seasoned well with plenty of ginger flavor. The ribeye nicely cooked, can't really go wrong with ribeye unless you over cook it. The scallops were nice and wrapped in bacon. Having 2 great items together...scallops and bacon A very nice restaurant in Lincoln Square. Staff was nice and a great neighborhood to spend some time in. Order before 6 to take advantage of the half off specials! read more

As someone who has had struggled with the Chicago sushi scene (outside of high-priced options), I very much enjoyed Miku. We had ramen and three rolls- all of which were quite tasty, fresh, and well prepared. The service was very good / accommodating and led us to order the correct portion of food to share between two people. They were also very accommodating of a shellfish allergy. The location in Lincoln Square was nice with easy street parking available. Highly recommend this spot if you are seeking quality, moderately priced sushi. read more

Came to see what all the hype was with some coworkers and was excited for the 1/2 off sushi before 6pm, however we were all a little disappointed. All of us had different dishes and agreed that the freshness was off or some weren't very flavorful. Some of our rolls weren't rolled very tight so they were hard to eat and would fall apart easily. The staff were a little slow but they were all friendly. read more

Miku Sushi Restaurant - Veggie roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A wonderful establishment - well run, excellent service, solid Japanese food. Always a delight!

Came here enticed by the happy hour - it's a friendly establishment, and I could recommend this place if quality isn't super important but you're craving lots of sushi at a low price point. That may be exactly what this place was designed to be, but I've had other sushi that was significantly better for being just a few dollars more, which for me is worth it. Vibe: 3/5 ok, kinda casual but that's ok, I was looking at this as a more casual sushi place as is Service: 5/5 pretty good service, server was attentive Food: 2.5/5 we came for the happy hour and definitely knew we would be getting less quality for a lower price potentially. The fish wasn't super high quality which I expected, but what bothered me more was that the rice was too sticky (overcooked maybe?) while not being well seasoned. The bites of the specialty rolls were rich but the flavors just kinda got lost (again maybe due to the rice quality). The one highlight was the samurai because the apple and lettuce brightened the flavors to balance out the fish/rice quality. All in all, I think sushi for me is one of those foods that quality is really important, but this is a great option if you're not that picky and looking for large volume at low prices. What I'd do differently next time is ask the servers what their favorite rolls are bc I'm sure they have better insight into which rolls (like the samurai) might highlight what Miku makes particularly well. read more

I was very impressed with Miku during my first visit here. I stopped by with the family for a birthday celebration and it was a great night. First of all, Miku was much larger than I thought it was. There is a bar and tons of seating in this restaurant. Also a big bonus of this place is that they have happy hour during the first opening hours. The drink and sushi specials are most definitely worth it! I had a cocktail which I thought was pretty tasty and we ordered sushi rolls. All of the sushi tasted fresh and the rolls were prepared very nicely. They were not too big and not too saucy. I also thought service was great! Our party of five had a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back! read more

So bummed that I waited so long to check this place out because the food was phenomenal! I'm not a sushi eater, but saw that there were many non-sushi items available. For apps,we got the house salad, which was huge and the dressing was delicious, and endamame, that was steamed and salted just right. Then we had the calamari that was fried and breaded perfectly...it was a tad rubbery, but still very good. They were out of aligator skewers, so I got the steak skewer and chicken thigh skewer, both delicious, but the chicken one was very tasty. My wife got a ramen dish that she enjoyed as well. Also got some cocktails that were good, but could be stronger in my opinion. This place gets 5 stars for food quality, cleanliness, and portion sizes. They were kind of busy, so service was more like a 4.5 and the fact that drinks should be stronger. read more

WILL NOT BE the last time we visit. This place has been our go-to for sushi. The rolls are always great! Make sure you take advantage of the happy hour special.

Great sushi spot that sell quality fresh sushi. The rolls are super fresh and made to order. They have specials everyday with half price on sushi rolls before 6pm and the list is extensive on the half off specials. They also have half off martinis after 4pm and this list is also extensive and the martinis are good. You can really enjoy a nice sushi dinner/outing here for a very reasonable price so this is always a plus. Service is a little slow and lacking a little when it comes to personality so this is why I took a star off. The young lady who is the primary server is not the nicest, and not saying she's mean because she's not she just does not have a warm welcoming personality. read more

Heard about this place from Tiktok and had to check it out because I was in Chicago for the weekend. Came for their half off rolls (makis) before 6 and it was such a good deal. We ordered the: Tuna roll: 4/5 fish tasted fresh and had the right amount of rice Salmon roll: 4/5 same as tuna roll Yellowtail roll: 4/5 same as the above Ebi Tango: 5/5 very flavorful Smokey bear: 4/5 not the biggest fan of cream cheese but still really good Unagi roll: 5/5 great eel We also ordered the chocolate cream cocktail and the geisha cocktail on recommendation of the waiter. Those were pretty strong and tasted great too! This is definitely a great place to go for lunch because they have a number of deals for good sushi. read more

Miku Sushi Restaurant - Assorted rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If I could I would give this spot zero stars. We have never been here before and pass it by every week so we decided to give it a shot. Before 6 the makis are half off so I thought hey let's try 4. First the waitress had some kind of attitude towards us and no idea why. Maybe because we brought our kid? No idea. But we tried to ignore it and just enjoy dinner. We left a majority of it on the plates and paid our check and left. The quality of the fish was poor, the combinations were just disgusting. Some of the fish looked old and gray and I was scared to eat it. I would not eat here if you paid me. No idea how this place can be 4 stars on here. Even the wasabi looked old - almost like they reused whatever someone left... What a shame. All you are doing is paying for sitting in a patio in the summer in Lincoln. But so many better spots. Wish there was better sushi in the area. Not asking for anything fancy - just something I feel like I won't get food poisoning from. Not worth it. Also every time we have walked by people sitting eating sushi it always looked bad. We also got a drink that was not mixed at all - it was just straight up vodka when it was supposed to be a lychee drink. Maybe this place was decent at some point but there is no reason for people to come here anymore. I'd rather order take out sushi (which I rarely would ever do) and eat it on the curb then eat here! Don't go. read more

Miku Sushi Restaurant - Maki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We came before 6pm on a weeknight to enjoy the half price sushi special discussed widely on social media. We assumed that it would be jam packed so we made a reservation, though this turned out to be unnecessary. There was plenty of seating available at 4:30pm! We tried 6 rolls - our favorites included the ika maki, dragon, and ebi tempura. We tried some of the martinis, which are also part of the happy hour special. These were truly exceptional! Our personal favorite was the Kyoto Lime! We look forward to coming back. Be forewarned that closer to 6pm, there will likely be a line out the door. Plan accordingly! read more

This place is awesome. Went for lunch and the inside is modern yet intimate. Some of the house Maki rolls were the best I've had in the area (compared to Fin, Sushi Tokoro, and Gorilla in specific). Happy hour is insane and has made me a loyal customer. Can't wait for their patio to open. Only downside is I wish they offered sake/soju/Sapporo etc. read more

The food and service was fine. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Honestly enjoyed our waitress. Why I would suggest going here is their deals! They offer great lunch options for even the non-sushi lover. From 4-6pm they offer discounts on a collection of rolls snd cocktails... sign me up! Your not going to have 5 star fish here, but it was decently delicious. Give them a try! read more

Love this place and the happy hour specials. Martinis are $6 between the hours of 4pm and 6pm every day! The maki rolls are also half off during these hours as well. The maki rolls range from traditional (like spicy tuna) to innovative. It seems a lot of the maki rolls use sweet soy drizzle (may be a bit much if all your rolls had drizzle), but there are a quite a number that don't. We've also had some of the appetizers as well as the ramen. The spicy ramen is really good and perfect for cold winter evenings like now. Service is attentive and top notch. We came one time around 5:50 pm and were anxious to order. We ordered right around 6pm and the server rushed to the time clock to at least get our order "started" so we could take advantage of the happy hour. Thank you! read more

Yeah, they are open during the pandemic BUT please ready to show you vax card s photo ID. It was delicious and we ordered more than enough! Had to bring home some. They have half price makis which to me meant Buy one get one free!! Anyway, we also had the Geisha and the Sushi Surfur VZ martinis which was good BUT NOT FOR $12 each. BEWARE, if you order the martini BEFORE 4:00 PM, you will be charge the full price. I thought that it $8 before 6:00 pm like their maki offers. when we put for which is means read every fine detail I would still recommend it at three stars albeit the makis tasted good, it was not rolled tight enough and were breaking apart when we try to it up with our chopsticks. Good but not Great read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!Bad food (burnt potstickers, some kind of gross mash was supposed to be smoked salmon?),bad service (horrible service with a dose of bad attitude from our server)overpriced (compared to other sushi places in the area). Will not be going back! Do not recommend! Additionally, once I noticed they have a "before 6pm special" I asked why I was not given the special ... they argued my order was placed after six pm.... (Not true, see my receipt). I say don't offer a special if you are not going to stand by it. With so many businesses in need of clients this one is definitely not deserving or worth your money !! read more

Miku Sushi Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food Poisoning: Changed review to 0 stars!: Please read review and accompanying health inspection link/reports from the City of Chicago Heath inspector. NOBODY should be eating here. So my wife and I have been going to this place for a number of years without incident and returned at least once a month for some pretty good sushi, but on my most recent visit to pick up a quick meal, we both immediately knew something was off. We carried out. We had ordered 4 different rolls for the two of us this round. Out of two containers the first seemed OK but the fish was not looking fresh and shiny, but dried out, indicating something was off. Popped the first piece into our mouths and something was DEFINITELY off. Fish was warm and certainly not fresh. 2nd roll seemed OK. 2nd package opened was a spicy tuna roll which I usually order every time I frequent this place. The tuna seemed dry and stale. Popped it into my mouth and it was completely rotten and smelled awful. This is where the story gets good: My wife called the restaurant and spoke to one of the women there who identified herself as the manager, unfortunately I didn't get her name. Her lack of empathy was astounding as when I described the fish quality her comment was; "It's fish. Fish smells fishy." I then let her know I spent many years in the food service industry and let her know fish should NEVER smell fishy. The attitude was beyond anything I've ever experienced in this industry. No apology, and she refused to give a refund but then offered a 15% discount on the next order, which we refused. Why would I go back to the place that offered clearly rotting food to the clientele?! The story goes on: Let's say my wife and I had a very "interesting" evening a couple of hours after eating the food, running to the bathroom with nausea and explosive diarrhea. So let's say we were not happy with this outcome. Since we are both busy people we could not immediately address the situation so about 10 days later I went to the place in person to show the manager the picture of the fish and tell her the results of her poor food handling and again to ask for a refund. She again never apologized, walked away to look at my order history, then came back and said "we don't issue refunds and we already offered you a 15% discount". I said I'd like to speak with the owner and was told he was not in. I then asked her to have him call me or my wife to our phone number they have in our file. The next person called my wife identified himself as Mr. Stan Lee or Stanley. He too stated it's "against policy" to issue refunds and proceeded to belittle my wife. I must say, if I would have seen him in person talking to my wife that way, he would be quickly laid out on the ground. First, she was trying to explain that it wasn't about the money, but the way it was handled and the food poisoning. He kept talking over her repeatedly. I'll paraphrase here but he said this has happened in the past and he has insurance to cover any food poisoning (WHAT?!) so this has OBVIOUSLY happened in the past. He also threatened to deny any poor reviews that we give him (good luck pal!). In addition, he accused my wife of lying since we told him we got sick a few hours after eating, he said "couldn't be food poisoning since that would happen days later". Really? Not a very bright nor accurate statement Mr. Lee. I called my bank and immediately filed a dispute with the credit card company who refunded our money and took it back from the restaurant. So much for the no refund policy! Next, I contacted the Heath inspector for the City of Chicago who called me back within hours. She then led me to the web link which is at the end of this review and she also let me know there have been multiple complaints over the years with multiple violations and she actually asked me "Did they offer to give you a 15% discount?" So apparently she is pretty familiar with this place and let me know (and you can see below the violations and multiple health inspection "fails" over the years) that with this place, it's best to not argue and just contact the Health Inspector. Long story, but the ending here is they FAILED their health inspection on 4/24/23 and again on 5/2/23 likely due to me reporting them. The restaurant today has a sign out front that says "We are closed for Maintenance". So it looks like the Health department shut them down. Here is link to the report including them finding "Over 200 rodent droppings". So, Mr. Stan Lee, maybe you need a little education from the health department and from me on how to handle these situations better. A little kindness and empathy and taking responsibility would be a great lesson for you, but with repeat health department fails, you should likely NOT be in business.
