Got the vegetable udon and two of all the vegetarian sushis on the menu. Food was passable. Ambiance was clean and modern. Service was truly atrocious: my friend and I were given the bill twenty-five minutes into our meal despite the restaurant being close to empty. We were not even halfway through the udon! We were ushered out again thirty five minutes into our meal by the same petulant server. I used to enjoy dining at Ryo, but this was the most unfriendly service I have ever encountered at any restaurant. read more

I got takeout from here and it was really delicious! I forgot what roll I specifically got but it was tasty. I also LOVED the crab Rangoons those were so so so good. Perfectly crispy and great filling ratio. I also got the octopus salad which had a lot of octopus on it and a small sashimi sample. The servers who really nice and my order was completed super fast! read more

Such a great experience at Ryo Sushi! The staff was super attentive, service was quick, and the food was delicious and affordable. And they have REAL (to me) yum yum sauce. Yay!! That alone made me so happy . It looked nice inside and I loved the special touches in the restaurant and how it continued to the bathroom. They even packed our leftovers for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Definitely coming back! read more

Found this location on yelp and was thoroughly surprised with how good the food is. I am a woman of habit so I got salmon, avocado rolls, and a special roll and loved what I got. The service was fast and easy and I did not feel rushed and I was very happy with how good the food was. the person I was with was concerned about ordering sushi because it's a landlocked steak (he's 10) but we were shown how fresh the fish really was in Chicago. The rolls were packed with fish and veggies, and wasn't too heavy on the rice which I loved. Very delicious and I would recommend this to anyone who lives here or traveling in Chicago. read more

Came back and it was even better than I remember. We both got combos. I got nigiri and my brother got sashimi...both so good. Don't forget the oshinko rolls. Hot tea, gyoza on top and you've got yourself a winner. Our server was the nicest guy in the loop and so helpful and patient with us. read more

Ryo Sushi - Smooooookinnnnn!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Eh I came back per my last review and this time the sushi was not so good. This time I ordered takeout so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. I ordered the miso soup, the fried gyoza, and two rolls. The miso was bad genuinely just not edible and this got thrown away. However the gyoza was VERY good so I loved this dish and thought they did well. Both of the rolls were just kinda meh. I didn't feel like either of them stood out to me. One was a rainbow roll and maybe a supercharged roll I can't remember the name of the second one but it had scallop and eel on top. I just felt like they both were kinda flavorless and bland. Overall I'd say it was a hit or miss and was just sort of meh. I'd take them down a star as it seems the quality may have declined since the last time I was here. read more

I had casual diner with my nephew and he highly recommended this place. It did not disappoint. It's small, fast and somewhat casual. It's sit down but the service is so fast, you'll think it's fast food. I ordered the sushi combination and each of piece of fish was so fresh. It also came with California roll, that my nephew tried the first time. He had the tonkatsu ramen with extra egg. I tried a bite of his to see if it was good and tasted pretty good. It's not super fancy but if you want some fresh sushi in a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place. read more

I hate that I didn't try more of the food! But what I had wasn't bad.. it was a quick bite to eat and gave me a hold me over while walking around the city. I do wish that the rolls were stuffed a little more and that the fried bites were bigger. It's a nice place with a good bit of seating, the service was fast and the food came within 5min. read more

Coworkers were craving sushi while we were out here so I tagged along even though sushi wasn't calling to me on this particular day. In that case, I opted for their chicken teriyaki, which was made very fresh. The sushi looked good that my coworkers got, as did the gyoza. They had some really beautiful and fun presentation with their plates too, so if I was a local I'd definitely come back here to try some of their sushi dishes! It's not too far from Millennium Park and right near the Chicago Athletic Association hotel where we were staying. Great service and small little spot with some good bites. read more

We had a good meal at Ryo Sushi. Our rolls came out in nice presentation with dry ice uping the look overall. The only downside was our table placement. We ended up at the very back next to the bathroom, which was distracting and echo-y compared to the rest of the restaurant's more polished look and feel. I just wasn't impressed by the atmosphere. Still, the quality of the sushi is good. If you can, I'd recommend requesting a seat closer to the front of the restaurant. -AD read more

Stopped by here for lunch. No reservations needed and got a nice window seat. The waitress was very prompt in taking my order. I enjoyed everything from the house salad, the mountain roll & the crab Rangoon was quite delicious. The place is rather small but the decor was clean and contemporary. I was in and out and would definitely recommend this place for a friend who works nearby as the service and food was impeccable. read more

Food was pretty good! And the servers were very friendly. Loved the presentation of food and can't get enough of the sashimi plating! The set up and ambiance was casual and cozy.

This sushi spot is my go-to when I'm craving sushi but don't want to spend a fortune! On weekdays, there is typically no wait for walk-ins and the sushi is always really good! My favorite go-to plates are the Regular Sushi plate & the Mango Dragon roll I do wish the restaurant was a bit bigger as a few of the tables are right by the restrooms, which is not the most ideal place to eat. read more

I loved everything I got except for the sweet shrimp which had a more advanced flavor than I am used to. Pictured are the salmon, salmon belly and sweet shrimp nigiri where the salmon pieces tasted just as good as they look. Also, the miso soup I got that tasted wonderful. Worth to mention is that each piece is sold separately so don't go too crazy, or maybe go ham if you like. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating! read more

Recommended by a good friend so I went for a lunch since I was in the area. Nice cozy spot in Chicago. I ordered the lunch special of Shrimp Tempura and Tuna roll ( sub from spicy roll) and it was delicious and very reasonably priced. Just what I needed for lunch. Will definitely go back to try more items on their menu. Service was great too! read more

Sushi was under quality compares to what I had in Chicago. The staff were not welcomed. No greeting , no smile, and looks very tired.

Decent sushi spot. The girls and I were walking around and came across this place. The food was solid. I ordered all nigiri and got salmon belly, amaebi (sweet shrimp), scallop, and hamachi belly. Everything was good. The interior was nice and the server was friendly. read more

The sushi was delicious & displayed so well. We liked everything we ordered. Service was kind & fast. We'll be back!

I went late on a weeknight and Ryo was full, but with only a brief wait for a table. The staff was friendly and sometimes had almost a sixth sense about our little kids' needs - handing us new chopsticks only a few seconds after a kid dropped one, for example. The jalapeño sashimi starter was delicious, as was the vegetable Udon. Our sushi was beautifully presented, good quality and my kids couldn't get enough. I'll come back next time I'm nearby. read more

Trying to find a cheap, lighter dinner in the loop isn't always easy but Ryo Sushi met those criteria for us. I'll say I was sort of hesitant at first but was very pleasantly surprised at this little spot. It felt a bit tucked away and though it seemed fairly busy, it was nicely quiet. Its a smaller spot but very light and bright. My partner and I shared one of the combo meals and it was actually a great amount of food for the two of us. The sushi was surprisingly fresh and tasty. Crunch rolls were lightly crisp and the fish to rice ratio felt good to me. Servers were attentive but left you pretty alone so it was a nice, quiet casual date night feel. Definitely would recommend this spot for anyone in the loop and wanting a quiet sushi meal! Affordable, tasty, and well attended, what more do you need? read more

Average food and poor service. I had to ask several times for what I needed, and the waitress treated me as though she assumed I wasn't going to tip. The ramen was overly salty and had an overpowering, artificial taste. read more

I never thought that twice in three days I would be eating sushi and asking, "Why is it chewy?" Yet here we are. With a rebounded appetite came a rebounded craving for sushi (something that is pretty much always there, if we are being perfectly honest). I ordered the Chicago and Volcano rolls. The Chicago was a tried and tested combination of salmon, eel, and cucumber. A fair amount of protein balanced with a little cucumber for crunch and freshness. The eel sauce was not overdone and gave a light sweetness and savoriness without overpowering the rest. A pleasant combination of flavors and textures. However, I once again found the salmon a little chewy. I don't have sushi chef training, so I can only guess as to why, only to say it made the roll a little less enjoyable. The Volcano was fair. It had salmon and tuna within (less salmon = less chewiness), and was topped with a mix of what I assume is minced spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and tempura. Now. while I don't know how much of this is me, I didn't find the topping very spicy. I also found the topping's texture overpowered anything the filling had going on. With this one, it's important to manage expectation, it is essentially a fish and rice roll (plus some tempura). I do want to give some general credit for well-cooked rice, for them not being stingy with proteins, and for reasonable prices, especially given the location. The service here is superb! It was attentive, friendly, and professional. As for the location/vibe, it is clean and modern. Finally, points for showmanship, as the Volcano came with a little "volcano" that put out a little cloud (dry ice, I think). Thus, Ryo has some A-OK sushi, but not something that has me itching to come back. While we can chalk up my quips with the Volcano to a matter of taste/preference, to quality of the salmon left at least a little to be desired. read more

Awesome sushi spot across from the hotel I was staying at. Decent hours and very polite and accommodating. Probably room for two or so folks so it isn't too big.

We decided to eat at Ryo Sushi Japanese Cuisine to get dinner before we headed to the Chicago airport. We were seated in the very back (next to the restroom). However, due to the layout, we could not see the restroom as the door was on our left and out of eye view. However, the wall was the restroom wall. We ordered Japanese Fried Chicken as our appetizer. I had the Shrimp Tempura entree. The other dish ordered was the Shrimp Tempura Roll, California Roll, and Tuna Roll Lunch entree which was shared by 2 people. Everything was delicious and was enough food for 3 people. I thought the waitress would forget about us being out of sight from the main part of the restaurant. She didn't. She came back to check on us periodically. She said the restaurant has been in business for 3 years. We would eat here again. It is conveniently located across the street from "The Bean" in Millennium Park. read more

We ordered the sushi/sashimi combo for two. So fresh, light, flavorful, and bountiful. The presentation was unforgettable -- served in a wooden boat amidst a fog created with dry ice. The server informed us of each item we were served, but we would have appreciated a printed or online photo reference of each item. Nonetheless, the experience was remarkable. Attentive, personable, quick service; a quiet, casual setting; and a good value. read more

I really enjoyed having dinner here for a couple of reasons. The service is efficient and minimal. Employees aren't really playing the role of servers and just let you be while being vigilant if anything is needed. I appreciated and loved that. Secondly, the food was so yummy in my tummy. I had the sweet potato roll (a superb roll) & I'm not too sure what the other roll was (I kind of just picked a random one). Both rolls tasted fresh and were just the right temperature. read more
