Best sushi in Chicagoland. That's right I said it. Other items on the menu are all tasty too.

The nigiri was really tasty & well prepared but really not affordable.. it's a cozy little spot for sure but you're gonna drop some big coin if you want nigiri. I saw huge portions of their other cuisine offerings coming out & that's probably a much better value. But they're called sushi junki so.. that's what we came in to eat. Service was slow but she was the only 1 on the floor & there were a lot of tables. Probably won't be back to the only sushi place in Berwyn. read more

So today I figured I have some Sushi today and that I was going to eat Sushi junki and I want to say that it was ok today, sometimes some places are better on the weekends than the weekdays and boy did I forget how pricey sushi can be lol and the service was good no complaints from me read more

Surprisingly exceeded my expectations big time! I've been in the Berwyn area for many years & have always wanted to try this place & I'm glad I finally did. Their Pad Thai was great & flavorful & everything I wanted in a bowl. No complaints on the entree and I even got the famous Korean Soda to go. The service was good & quick , so definitely no complaints on that end either. The entire experience was overall good & nothing out of this world. If you've never been, I would say definitely give it a try! Plenty of parking as well, did not have any issues on that front either. Also, to mention we went on a weekday during the day and it was pretty empty, unfortunately but I did not mind that at all. Personal Review: 7.8/10 read more

General ambience was nice. Music wasn't really my taste because they were playing Top 40 pop music that were all breakup songs while I was there with my partner. The taste of the Basil Thai noodle was fantastic! The presentation of the sushi/sashimi and the Seaweed Salad were GORGEOUS. However- the saba (mackerel) sashimi I ordered must have been from an old stock, improperly prepared or stored because in minutes, I developed facial flushing, vomiting, and felt ill shortly afterward. And for the record, I have no food allergies. The other person dining with me ate everything I did except the mackerel and did not become sick. I can't conclusively who touched what, but I wanted to share my experience for others to make informed decisions when ordering. read more

I had one of their new specialty sushi rolls called "Rock N Roll" and avocado smoothie. Both were great. The fried sushi roll had good flavors and it was also crunchy. The avocado smoothie was creamy and delicious. It was a big serving so I drank half of it and brought the rest home. The price was on the higher end, but it wasn't too crazy, considering its nice atmosphere and quality. Would re-visit when I need to get some cheap gas near this place again lol they have other kinds of Asian foods (Chinese, Thai, etc.) and I'm interested to try next time! read more

Best fried rice ever. Sushi was great but the seaweed wraps were a little chewy. HUGE crab Rangoon. Literally the size of a fist. Pretty low key during the week. Gonna miss this place !! read more

Sushi is typical and ok, nothing special but their attitudes are bad, especially on their carry out side. They are not friendly, dry and combative with customers. I mean how hard is it to smile and greet customers as they enter your establishment? And say thank you after the transaction. The young lady with glasses and the young man who take orders are not friendly. Customer service is a very important part of any business. There are many Chinese and Sushi restaurants in the area so be appreciative that I choose to spend my money with you because until their attitude change I will not. read more

Service was great. We got seated right away and the waitress gave us enough time to pick out what we wanted. The food came out fast and it tasted so much better than other sushi places I've been to. The restaurant itself is very clean and very nice. Definitely coming back. read more

7-25-24 Server Jie LI Bill : 65041 My order to go total for $46.34 did not contain any hot mustard. I request only 1 hot mustard and was surprisingly denied. I was rudely told "if I want mustard I have to pay 50 cents for each one. According to the server "I don't care about the cost of your order and being a long time customer, mustard does not come with any order unless You must pay 50 cents for each mustard because the manager/owner Jason said so". read more

This is my go to Chinese food spot . Always fresh Theu use good Top quality ingredients . Best in the area in my opinion. Ramen is fire too. My kids only want Chinese food from this spot so it says a lot lol . read more

It was my first time trying this local sushi spot and it was amazing. The food was great but on the pricey side. The overall ambience was peaceful. They played soft instrumental music and had a movie projected. Our server was very cheerful and kind and kept our waters full. I would highly recommend this spot! read more

Hate to leave this review because the food is absolutely amazing, On 12/01/2024 My family and I which is a party of 8 went to this establishment which we frequent often especially when we have family from out of town. we sat at our usual table we order our food as we were waiting one member of our group seen something no one wants to see after there food is served! Now we understand things like this can happen to anyone so we tried not to make a scene but not only did we see one but multiple crawling in and out of the cushions on the bench seats, we notified the establishment they acted surprised an unaware of the roaches, needless to say we asked for the check and left without finishing most of our food! We know this issue will be taken care of but we did not receive an apology and was still charge the full price of the meal that we did not even get to enjoy. We will not becoming back and will notify all our family and friends about our visit! we would of gladly paid for what we ate but to charge for things that were not even touched or had the chance to even bring to the table. Our biggest concern is bringing one to our homes! read more

The food is fantastic and the service kind! My wife and I have been enjoying a variety of Asian foods with consistent quality at Junki (rather an unfortunate name). For me, sushi is the main attraction. The variety, quality, and presentation has been consistently delightful. The salads are well dressed, the soups condimented perfectly, and the fish always tasty. For example, Saba or mackerel as nigiri or in roll seems to me that the chef has carefully cured and prepare the fish as shushi. The server we have had, a mid-age Asian-looking lady (sorry I did not asked for her name) has always been patient and very attentive to our needs at the table. Lunch is a good time to taste dishes from various regions in Asia at a reasonable price. Dinner has been a time for us to enjoy quality of food with families and friends. I do not recommend ordering food to take out, which you have to do through J Wok, the store next door. The food and service have discouraged our business at each experience we had with them. I encourage you to try Sushi Junki, which provides quality of food, great service, in a down to earth setting. Such businesses improve community life and we need to keep them around. Enjoy a culinary tour of Asian cooking! read more

Sushi Junki - Sushi lunch special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Berwyn, Illinois

Strip mall/plaza sushi doesn't sound so appetizing out of context, but an exception could be made when Sushi Junki is the restaurant being talked about. On the outside it is a standard looking building, almost unnoticeable as you're driving down Roosevelt in Berwyn where it looks like it shares a wall with another Asian restaurant, but the 'Junki's' make up for it with a tasteful interior design in their dining area. Lots of options for seating that include tables for bigger parties, while having a nice selection for a dinner of 4. Love to have a sushi restaurant like this with the chefs preparing the rolls in the front of the house instead of the back. I catch myself watching them before and after my meal with awe as they are perfecting their craft, satisfying yet another grateful customer to a delectable and cultural experience. Any who, it's time to eat. Hold the phone, they don't just serve sushi here! This is practically a pan-Asian restaurant, serving up Thai dishes, Chinese dishes, Korean dishes, curry dishes, ramen, noodles, fried rice- all listed on one side of the menu, while the other is dedicated to the restaurant's pride and joyous rolls. You got your classic and signature rolls, the nigiri, and sashimi too. You can order them by the roll, or you can get a deluxe serving (for a larger party, I imagine) that neatly presents the sushi in a cute wooden boat or bridge (they may have other designs too, but those were the only ones I saw during my visit). This wasn't a sushi night for me, luckily I was impressed to see all of the other options they had on tap. Speaking of tap, they got a nice selection of beers, wine, liquor and sake; all very affordable too, especially the wine. Back to the food though, I was scouring their non-sushi menu trying to find something I never had before. It didn't take long until I discovered that they serve Korean chap chae noodles here, which is a very thin and almost cellophane-like type of noodles served with any protein option (beef, chicken, pork, etc). I got the beef, and the dish is served to feed two; it was that big! So, I was delighted to find something I've never seen in a restaurant before, and was equally as delighted to figure out that chap chae noodles rock! I mean, they were incredible and is something that I will keep my eye out for in future Korean/Pan-Asian restaurant excursions. So we got great quality foods here at Sushi Junki. Not just sushi. Alcohol available at the restaurant. Amazing prices too. ~$50 (tip included) for two people is NOT bad at all in my opinion. Very lowkey spot where not too many people are coming in to eat. It seems to be a great addition to the Berwyn area on a popular road. Get some sushi and judge for yourself on where it would rank among the greats in the Chicagoland area. Or try something new here like I did. Or get the curry, cause curry is delicious no matter where you get some. Stop on by and enjoy the meal. read more

Food was great. Sushi was excellent. Customer service was great. Inside looks very elegant and well organized. Will be back soon.

Have ordered from this spot a few times. Last time (today 7/6/22) was questionable. Ordered online-website said each roll has 8 pieces. Nope, each roll had 6 pieces. They also put all 4 rolls in the same package, (ordered for 2 people) which sucked because the other person's sauce on top of their sushi was all over some of my roll. Gross. At any rate, this place has become way over priced for the quality. Most likely will not order from here again. read more

This is the sushi spot for sushi and...Asian food!! Seriously food here is fresh and so delicious! I get vegetable lo mein, crab rangoons, at times I get eel with baked rice, I've tried the Thai crazy noodles with tofu. All YUM YUM. And then for sushi it the Chicago Maki for me, junki maki too, futago...ok I've nearly tried them all. So I really recommend trying this place out! read more

The food is always amazing and fresh! So many items to chooses from you can't go wrong from ramen to sushi!

They are worth 5+ stars! After this past weekend they out did themselves. I Called in at 9:30 ish when Berwyn Curfew was at 8ish. (Berwyn town mind you're own business hehe) And the woman working took my order! (: Bought 2 orange chinchen dinners for my brothers and they said "best Chines take out we've ever had!" Thank you thank you! read more

Food was okay. I ordered two different rolls, they put them in the same container. They only gave me one set of chopsticks. and for the price, I expected better. Just not a good experience. read more

Came here finally to dine-in as me & my wife were craving sushi. The place was empty at about 4pm, very quiet. We ordered a total of 3 rolls, 2 of which were over dressed in sauce and we were unable to taste the actual ingredients in the rolls due to the overwhelming sauce taste. It seemed as if they were trying too hard to make the food taste good instead of just making it simple & naturalOur bill for three rolls plus one smoothie was $45 before tip which wasn't bad, but I felt the price was not justified. If the rolls would've been really good then I could see the price being justified. We will just stick to our fave All You Can Eat spot in the 'burbs(Sushi City)which would have been the same, $20/person. read more

Awful service . It's upsetting when the people who work in service industry can't at least try work with people. If someone wants to swap or substitute an item and switch a rice for one entree but it can't for another with no explanation makes no point. Then you sit there on my phone and don't even try to help me find a solution to my order that you told me isn't possible. Never coming back here. read more

Just ordered take out sushi for lunch. Unagi roll, salmon roll and 2 pieces of scallop about $25. Unfortunately, what I got was a whole lot of rice and almost no fish. So if you feel like paying for overpriced rice, than this is a place for you. read more

Great food. But for the last 3 times I've ordered it hasn't been great. I love this place so I refuse to lose hope but it's not getting better. Last time there was a staple in my food and I still didn't complain. Last last time, our pad Thai was pure mush! We order this ALLLLL the time! Mush, and flavorless! Still didn't complain when I could have. Today! Over an hour and 15min for our food!!!! Still didn't complain! I really love this place!..But you guys should change your estimated delivery time. And if the food isn't coming on time and you guys should take initiative to call the customers, apologize, and give the food at a discount price work for free. This is ridiculous. And I am not one to call upset and complain that's just rude. But it is getting closer to that. I'm sad to have to lower my rating because I started out with five stars and it's been going down. read more

We enjoyed the sushi via delivery. Only suggestion is to not overcrowd the containers.

This was a HUGE surprise find in good ole Berwyn, IL! My coworkers and I are always trying to find something different than the usual fare (Mexican) in the area and this was a nice surprise. Someone at work discovered this place and it's in this crappy little strip mall. We have passed it a million times and never took notice. However, the inside is really, really pretty -like a fancy Chicago restaurant! They have Thai as well as Japanese food. I ordered a maki special and it was very fresh, very tasty. Others in my party ordered various specials on the lunch menu -some maki / some Thai and everyone liked their choices. Score 1 for the Cicero crew....we found another winner! read more

Ummm...why was this place practically empty on a Friday night? I have no idea. Shame on you for not being there. Go now. It'll be ok. We ordered the Vegetable Crunch, Tamago, Red Snapper, Strawberry Roll and got a free roll (which may have been California or something similar). The crunch roll and tamago were great, hubby liked his rolls as well. The rolls had a very beautiful and artful presentation. The decor was awesome, someone put a lot of thought into it. Swanky and fun but not obnoxious. The service was good, though I thought someone asked us if we wanted miso soup shortly after we arrived. The soup never came, but was not on our bill either so not that big a deal. A few other small things about the service may have been just the slightest bit lacking, but generally it was still above average. They are connected to the Chinese/Thai place next door (the new name escapes me now but it used to be the See Thru Chinese Kitchen) and I believe you can get delivery through that place. Sushi Junki offers some Thai items on the menu as well. The people at the next table ordered some and it smelled awesome. A fine addition to Berwyn and we will definitely be back. read more

Updated review long time coming for this place. It's been very impressive to watch the quality, service, and decor consistently improve at Sushi Junki. The menu prices now seem justified, and the food is very seldom disappointing. Most amazing has been the improvement in the quality of the sushi. It's so good now, the prices seem more than fair. In fact, I feel like I'm getting a good value. My wife and I enjoyed a variety of maki rolls, well-prepared. The nigiri pieces were better than average, in terms of taste and appearance. The maguro we were served had some nice fatty marbling - more like a low-level toro than ordinary nigiri. The oyster shooters were carefully made, and unlike that of so many other places, didn't taste gross. I'm surprised and amazed at the evolution of this Thai/Chinese takeout spinoff, and I would now consider this to be one of the best restaurants in Berwyn. read more

I ordered from here for years. Sushi is ok. I do think is pricey for what they give you. I honestly don't think ill be ordering from here anymore. Every time I order I ask for no Wasabi or ginger and every time they give me the order with it. Also, they often get my order wrong. So the place its ok but I will be trying other sushi places from now on. read more

I really like their sushi. I've been a customer for 2 years and the sushi is always fresh and yummy. I recently tried the ramen and was skeptical because it's not their specialty but I was pleasantly surprised. It was tastier than some ramen joints. I also like that they have Chinese food in their menu in case your dining buddy is not into sushi. read more
