A solid all you can eat sushi spot in Chicago! We came here for dinner on a weekend night and found no issue getting a table. The place was busy, but not packed. Their menu was typical for a sushi spot - we ordered a lot, but the main issue we had was the length of time it took in between orders. Maybe intentional, but it was a good 30-40 minutes in between rounds despite it not being packed. I would understand if it were busy, but sadly it seemed like service was just inefficient. I would just order as much as you can in round 1 to ensure you get your money's worth! Besides that, presentation and quality were fine.
Now THIS is a premium AYCE spot in Chicago. With three tiers for AYCE menus, I always opt in for the second tier including sashimi which I highly recommend. The highest tier includes crab legs. Notably, all their fish tastes fresh. The speciality rolls are unique and have a great fish/rice ratio. Service is always great, but can get busy. Clean and aesthetically nice inside.
Umm... yes. AYCE sushi, appetizers AND crab legs. Omgoodness. So much yes. The interior... so well done. So pretty. So aesthetically pleasing. The service... really super sweet. The food... AhMazing. Sushi was fresh. Appetizers delicious. And the crab legs. So yum yum yum. They come hot to the table. Just salty yumminess. I love this place and cannot wait to go back. The bathrooms are decent and city street parking. IF you oark on Lawrence it's parking you pay for.
My friend took me here, I never had been to all you can eat (ACYE) sushi before. We went on a Friday night and luckily we had a reservation as it was packed! We were sat right away. The menu not only included sushi but appetizers, soup, and also dessert. My favorite appetizers that we tried were the chicken yakitori and the seaweed salad. We also ordered the baby octopus salad, I had never tried that before it was really flavorful. We ordered 5 rolls and 2 pieces of nigiri. If you don't finish your roll they charge you so we wanted to make sure we didn't order too much. The rolls were good but my favorite was the fire phoenix roll. I saw review that the fire dragon roll was really good but that was actually my least favorite. We also tried the surf and turf roll which was interesting as it was topped with beef, sunny roll which was my friends favorite and the spider-man roll which was wrapped in soy paper and had mango in it. For dessert we each had a piece of mochi and tempura Oreo. The Oreo and mochi were so good! I would definitely order both again. I would definitely come here again as the menu had a lot of options and the decorations inside were cute with the fake cherry blossom tree. I recommend making a reservation as there were a lot of people waiting that didn't have one. The only bummer was the service wasn't the best, we were waiting to pay our check once we were done and kept trying to call the server over but she didn't come over so we had to pay at the host stand at the front.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

The service was excellent, atmosphere/lighting/feel welcoming, and rolls tasty! Food presentation was compelling and attractive. I chose 3 rolls for my companion & I so did not take advantage of the all you can eat. I recommend this place for its welcoming and kind service, variety, and quality. Here are two pictures near the entrance. Thank you, Sushi Loop, very enjoyable experience! :-) Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL read more

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 read more
They've done such a great job at converting roots into sushi loop. The interior is absolutely stunning, i love their bar area. Great place for a date or a large gathering and the sushi quality were so good! The only thing I didn't like is that it smells like bathroom towards the back of the restaurant. Not sure if this is the plumbing, bathroom, or kitchen but it was very strong smell. read more

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. read more

Our server Ayana was amazing!! The signature sushi's were delicious and the ambiance was so fun!! read more
Really enjoyed my first Sushi Loop experience. Went with my parents, wife and our newborn and appreciated that they gave us the spot in the back to fit our stroller! We went with the AYCE sashimi add on ($45 per person I think ) . The sashimi was actually really good quality and they gave quite generous portions. The rolls I think were pretty solid as well and stack up to what you would see in other restaurants. Tempura was done really well both shrimp and vegetable. The tonkotsu ramen was forgettable as was the tempura Oreo. Service is really attentive and great and do a solid job of plating. Good addition to the neighborhood #AYCE #sushi read more

Food was AMAZING I took my family here for mother's Day and we ordered a bunch of sushi. I suggest the King Kong roll. We had lots of appetizers (mabye a little to many ) and ramen and crab. Ii expected the crab to be dry but instead it was juicy and buttery thanks to the sauce they give you Our waiter was amazing! She made sure all the shellfish sushi was separated from the other sushi so the person with a shellfish allergy could be safe. She also suggested other things on the menu that were shellfish free so that he could enjoy his time too. The ambiance was gorgeous. They had lots of pink (perfect for mothers day) and all the staff was welcoming! They even gave my mom a free gift because it was mother's day The only thing that was a little questionable was the bathroom. The guys bathroom seems to be separated with the ladies bathroom by a mirror...? And if you peak at the side you can see each other. The toilets are separate and more private but still thought to mention that because it was shocking and a little weird overall 10/10 experience though! read more

Sushi Loop definitely surprised me in the best way! Their all-you-can-eat spread is not only generous, but everything actually tastes fresh, flavorful, and worth the trip. I started with an assortment of nigiri, and honestly--so good. The salmon was buttery, the scallop was sweet, and even the mackerel had that perfect briny bite. The eel was tender and caramelized just right, and the ny strip nigiri with sauce on top was a fun, savory twist. Their rolls were the real showstoppers. Each one was loaded with toppings--creamy sauces, crunchy bits, and pops of tobiko. The sunny roll was a favorite: rich, saucy, and perfectly balanced without being heavy. And the appetizers? A whole spread. Takoyaki, shumai, purple sweet potato, shrimp lollipop--everything came out hot and crispy. The takoyaki in particular was delicious with the bonito flakes dancing on top. What I loved most is that nothing felt like "AYCE filler." The portions were solid, the presentation was clean, and the flavors were genuinely satisfying. If you're craving an AYCE sushi spot that actually delivers quality, Sushi Loop hits the mark. Would definitely come back and order all of this again. read more

We came here last night with friends for dinner. The place was very clean, and there was a big cherry blossom tree. Most importantly, all of their appetizers were absolutely delicious. The sashimi was also very fresh. It's definitely worth it. Lima is an excellent server--very warm and friendly, and she will provide you with everything you need. read more

The craving for sushi brought us to try this new neighbor spot. It was previously Roots Pizza, and we could see hints of the past, like the bar, but with a definite Asian themed reincarnation. We were greeted warmly and were taken to the fun birds nest like round table. Glad I came hungry, as I wasn't aware of the all you can eat for a set price. We took advantage of this getting a good sampling of appetizers- gyoza, crab Rangoons, tempura, edamame, and others. When it came time for the sushi, there were many options to satisfy everyone. It was fun that it was served in a boat making it easy to share. The staff made sure that we had all the things we needed and checked on us regularly without being overbearing at all. I'll definitely come back. read more
