    Food was great, service was wack This place truly has some potential but the slowness of their service brings it quite down. Their were tables available but we still have to wait to get seated till a table left I guess to space it out but even when ordering food it took awhile As a previous waitress, we usually get a section to tend to but in this case our waitress was just running all over the places. First round of crab legs were delish. Second was so salty. Third was not too bad Sushi taste & quality was good. We saw a party of 4 kids left because the wait was so long waiting for their food to come.

    I really wanted to love this place but left feeling like there are way better all you can eat sushi spots in the city. I can't put my finger on it but I just didn't feel like the fish was fresh. Nothing off about taste or texture. It was just dull and my salmon hand roll was limp and sad. They have a full bar with a great selection of martinis. I would come back just for the drinks. They were $8-10- never heard of in Chicago! They are also byob and charge $10 for each bottle. We did both martinis and wine- so you can imagine the night I had lol. The service was just ok. Took a few minutes to even be acknowledged and seated even though there were plenty of employees, and even if they were busy, not one said hello or addressed me. I dock major points when it comes to service. The food can be meh but when the service is, it's a huge turn off. The place is big and can accommodate large parties. I'd suggest hiring a host to welcome guests as they arrive.

    Everything I got is included in the $31.99 dinner meal. We had a party of 5 and after mandatory tip and tax it came out to around $42 per person. Ordered more than this but forgot to take pictures. The food is really good but theres a lot of fried stuff for appetizers. I wish they also had more non fried options, but overall great experience. Servers were really food about giving us the paper to order more after our batches of food finished coming out. It's a really cute place too, they have a bar area. They also had a fun challenge you can do to try to win a free meal or discount.

    If you love crab and sashimi this the idea AYCE sushi restaurant for you as they offer it at the cost of a premium price for their premium seafood. My wife and I went for the lunch on a Wednesday and I was surprised with the amount of options that they had on the menu. Items ranging from the appetizers, sushi, and even ramen. We kept it simple and had the standard AYCE that doesn't include sashimi (only sliced sushi, no rice) or the crab legs. From ordering to waiting for the sushi took a bit of time so I'd recommend either ordering a fair amount in the beginning so you can get your fill or order as soon as your order arrives to optimize on the time. Paid street parking in front, patio along the side so possibly dog friendly during the warmer seasons (not confirmed),

    Really wished I liked this sushi spot. Our waitress was extremely sweet and thoughtful, we absolutely loved her. Our waitress was kind enough to let us know our sushi would take approximately 30 minutes because the kitchen was busy and made sure we order some appetizers. The interior design is really cute, they did a great job. We were disappointed with the sushi out of all things. We ordered multiple signature rolls containing spicy tuna. The spicy tuna was lacking the spice component. The rolls were cut thickly which was difficult to eat and enjoy. If you order a roll that contains cream cheese, watch out; they put a lot which makes you feel heavy after eating.

    I used to think all AYCE sushi places are the same. Sushi Loop provides that is not the case! Highly recommend upgrading to the sashimi as they provide generous portions of fish. Personally, I love rolls and they have an impressive array of options. The only thing I would skip is the Ramen. That was the only underwhelming thing, but we came for sushi, not Ramen. Service was super attentive and able to explain the concept of menu well. Seating inside has family friendly options for large groups and folks with little ones.

    Came in on a Monday around noon expecting lunch prices but the server mentioned that it was going to be dinner pricing the whole day. I'm not sure if this was because it was considered a bank holiday. There are normally 3 different dinner pricing tiers. The normal dinner pricing includes appetizers, ramen, nigiri, hand-rolls. The premium tier includes sashimi and the 2nd premium included snow crab. The restaurant is spacious and currently decorated with fun and spooky Halloween decorations. There were two large nest seating areas for larger groups. We ordered some edamame, chicken yakitori and tempura veggies to start me. I shared a spicy miso ramen with my friend. The broth was flavorful and a little spicy. We also ordered the fire dragon roll, sunny roll and golden dragon roll along with some egg, scallop and new york strip nigiri. Unfortunately there was extended wait times between courses and we felt like we had to wait to flag down the server. We were also surprised to find that hot green tea was not included in the ayce price and it was just hot water plus a Bigelow green tea bag that we would have to steep. The desserts were fine. We tried macarons, strawberry and matcha ice cream mochi, tempura oreo and creme brulee. Unfortunately they did not have any hamachi kama.

    Mochi!

    We came here for their AYCE lunch on a Monday ($23.99) which I thought was a great value. Most of popular items were available execpt sashi which cost extra. They also have snow crab legs for extra $ as well. We ordered a bunch. The highlights included chicken skewers and dragon rolls. The fish mostly tasted fresh. Interior were new and modern. Would come back on weekdays if time permits.

    Tried this place for lunch on opening weekend. We had the all you can eat special. It's a great deal and it covers not just the sushi but also appetizers, ramen, salads, and dessert. The interior is well done and colorful. The staff are friendly and service was good. We tried several of the sushi rolls and they were all delicious. Mango Tango is a must. We also tried a few appetizers and they were great. Will be back for certain

    OMG FABULOUS. me and the girlies tore these rolls up. every bite was so fresh, so fulfilling, so flavorful. the three most important Fs. run don't walk to miss sushi loop

    Service was good, price is fair. Has lots of options on their menu which is why I did rated it high but the rice on the sushi is too cold which makes me think it's not as fresh. I think it's because we came right when they open so I'm hoping it isn't always the case. Overall I don't mind coming here again but it won't be my go to. Street parking and it's quite big inside

    My bf and I had a reservation for 2 Sun 12/28 at 7PM. Gorgeous open airy space. Nice server. Had the mangotini and my bf had the Moscow mule. We had the premium ayce with crab legs. CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK.

    I came here with my boyfriend for the all-you-can-eat sushi, and overall the experience was mixed. Cons: When we first sat down, the floors around our table were pretty dirty. There was even a piece of meat on the floor with ants all over it. We alerted our waitress about it and moved to the table right next to it. Unfortunately, instead of cleaning the area, another couple was seated there shortly after, which was concerning from a hygiene standpoint. I also went to the bathroom and saw an employee leave without washing her hands, which made me even more uneasy about cleanliness. The spicy miso soup was extremely spicy--almost too spicy to eat, and we're people who usually love spicy food. The iced tea tasted more like colored water and even adding sugar didn't help much. I ordered the snow crab, and while the crab legs were a decent size, they came out cold. They were only served with butter and there weren't any other sides or sauces to pair with them. Pros: On the positive side, the sushi itself was really good and the portions were generous. Our waitress was also very sweet and hardworking. She handled multiple tables efficiently, took our orders carefully, and even bused her own tables. Her service was definitely 10/10. Overall, the sushi and service were great, but the cleanliness and a few food quality issues made the experience disappointing.

Candidly it wasn't on my to-do, but the restaurant happened to be on my route back to my hotel and I hadn't had dinner yet. I walked into the restaurant, and there was a spot open right at the bar waiting for me. I think it was meant to be. Loved the vibe of the restaurant, which was casual but trendy. Best part of all was the music. My ears perked up when I heard Hieroglyphics - The Who... A Plus Remix. Instantly felt "at home" with the underground, old school hip hop. Compliments to their curated Pandora playlist. I ordered the the spicy scallop roll, super san roll, and sawara (Spanish mackerel) nigiri. The spicy scallop roll was my favorite. The super san roll was a mix of their toro with varying fattiness. I appreciated that you could order half rolls at Sushi-San, which came out to 5 pieces instead of 10. This was more than enough food for me. The sawara was buttery and fresh. If you don't like the "fishiness" of saba, you'll enjoy sawara. Lastly, overall customer service was great. The food came out incredibly fast. The bartender who assisted me was awesome. He was attentive and personable.

I came with a friend for lunch during the week and they have a somewhat decent lunch special (for today's standards when factoring the cost of living and inflation). We took advantage of that and ordered the 3 combo platter per person so we got 6 total items since there was two of us. The highlights for us were three yellowtail yuzu sushi as well as the salmon rice bowl. The miso soup that came out first wasn't that great. It was overly salty. My friend who is from Japan that I ate with said this place was ok for American standards but not at all great compared to anything in Japan lol.

It clearly is for all their locations. Unfortunately, here at Chinatown's location, when they attempted to scan the card, the staff said it does not work and only works at the Printer's Row location. 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

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi.

The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. 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.
