A neighborhood sushi spot that has been a staple of mine for 15+ years! It's a casual vibe with friendly staff and good, consistent sushi. They have a great selection of nigiri, classic rolls, and some very crazy fun rolls. Also love their appetizers like the seaweed salad and hamachi jalapeño. It's nice to have a neighborhood spot that is so consistently good and dependable. read more

Our usual sushi place no longer serves sushi, so we decided to try this after getting their menu in the mail. They have amazing rolls. We got the snakebite, Mexican maki, spider maki, and the King Kong rolls. Snakebite was really good and spicy. King Kong is deep fried, so it takes a little bit longer, but the crust is great. Everything is just as described. The interior is very clean and the people are nice. read more

Cute little spot, nothing fancy but very cozy. Has a lot of rolls, ramen, appetizers to choose from. I did the fire phoenix and the King Kong . For me The fire phoenix was the winner ' so delish not over powering and is baked ! 10/10. Glad I stumbled upon this place located in west loop. Service is prompt and the food doesn't take long. Definitely will be back to try more rolls next time I'm back home . read more

I came here for takeout again last week since my cousin was staying over and loves sushi. This place is literally my go to place for take out whether it is for a party or just splurging on myself. I love the location because it's walking distance from where I live. I you love driving, there's always a spot right outside the restaurant where you can just park and run in to pick up your order. The pickup has always been smooth for me. They always give enough utensils/soy sauce/wasabi for takeout orders. I cannot wait to order from them more often now that the holidays are around the corner! read more

Cozy and intimate sushi place with friendly servers. The servers were attentive and professional. The sushi rolls were good especially with the portion of rice and filling. The sashimi was decent. We were a little disappointed that some of the pieces were still frozen. I understand to keep the fish fresh it needs to be kept in the freezer but it's not pleasant to bite in a hunk of ice which really takes away from the taste of the sashimi. We would try this place again because we did had a good time and enjoyed the rolls. read more

As a West Loop resident, I can confidently say that Sushi Pink is a hidden gem. If you're craving fresh sashimi, creative maki rolls, comforting ramen, or delicious poke bowls, this Japanese restaurant is the place to be. The cozy, low-key atmosphere makes it perfect for intimate gatherings or a casual night out. The fish is always fresh, the flavors are spot on, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. I ordered the Great Pyramid, King Kong, Fire Dragon, and Salmon Lover rolls (perfect for two people), and every bite was amazing! If you're searching for the best sushi in Chicago or sushi near Fulton Market, this is the spot to check out. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, Sushi Pink never disappoints! read more

To start off, I made a yelp account just to review this place. Okay service, food is good, what is terrible about this place is the fact I waited for almost an hour for my food and my friends had already got their food. I never got my food when my friends finished eating. After I saw my friends finishing eating and my food had not arrived. luckily they allowed me to cancel but kept insisting to keep it and kept telling me my food was ready when their was an obvious line for food lined up and my bowl was no where near. Customers came in 30 minutes after me and still got their food on time. Even though I never asked about the food, the waitress kept saying it was almost ready, i asked only at the end and they kept informing me it was nearly ready. It was never ready. They should be more honest and communicative with customers instead of leading them on and insisting to keep the meal and pay for it. To add I never asked, or bugged them about my order. I simply asked at the end. The waitress was the one that kept informing it was ready when it was never ready. Again, they should be more honest and communicative with customers. read more

My sister and I (who live…read moreout-of-state) have been talking about the last ramen experience we had here and couldn't wait to have it again! Well folks, the opportunity arose again with us both being in Chicago and we hopped right on it! We popped in on a Saturday evening, right after the dinner rush, and were promptly seated. We grazed over the menu lightly, since we already knew what we wanted to order: the chicken karaage and tuna poke as appetizers, the premium signature gyukotsu for myself, and the prime shoyu for my sister. Everything was brought out quite quicky and it was all SMASHINGLY delicious! The chicken kaarage was fried to perfection and paired beautifully with the spicy mayo, the tuna poke was fresh and a perfect palate cleanser, and both of the bowls of ramen we ordered were beautifully composed with the most harmonious of flavors. I was WOW'd by the premiere bowl! While a bit pricier than the rest of the ramen options, it was loaded with a variety of proteins, the noodles were just the right amount of chewy, and the marinated egg was *chef's kiss*. A HUGE shout out to the waitstaff, who were incredibly kind, and checked in on us throughout our meal experience. The overall ambience and vibe of Gyuro Ramen is always so enjoyable! It's a spot great for a date - whether with a friend or love interest - where you can have great conversation over a great meal. My recommendation remains the same as last time: HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will certainly be returning again soon!

We ordered steamed dumplings for the kids, but they couldn't eat those cuz of the spicy powders. The staff came over and told us they can't remove the spicy powder from the dumplings. But, like, they could've just not sprinkle the powder on top, it's not like it's part of the filling?! She left for a while and eventually came back and said they could give us another one without the spicy powder. But seriously, who sprinkles spicy powder on steamed dumpling? I don't think any Asian cuisine does that as a default. We had a large party and two household ordered extra noodles, they only brought out one initially. When we asked for the second one, they got all confused, and they had to check all our bills to make sure they didn't give us extra noodles and that we were billed properly. Seems a bit disorganized if they can't handle a party of 10. We correctly guessed that it was non-Japanese people running the shop based on the dialect they spoke... but alas, it's expected that Asians from that region would give us that type of attitude lol so we forgive them for it. Now onto the actual food, it was just OK. My husband ordered a yasai and my oldest ordered a kinoko. I ordered a rosu for the kids. The flavors are not bad but nothing really stood out. The duck meat wasn't as tender as it could be. The kids didn't really like the dumpling/gyoza fillings either. For the price, I really expected better. I got the wakame seaweed salad and the hiyatakko. The wakame salad is just your store bought wakame mixed with some leafs, and the hiyatakko is nothing like the Japanese flavor, it's more Chinese and the tofu they selected isn't even the silky one, so it's actually bland and chalky with very weak chili oil flavor. The presentation is all pretty good tho. Looks good, but tastes are all just mediocre. We probably won't try this place again, at least not this location.

The menus featured an option or two to satisfy most tastes. I started with the spicy cucumbers, they were delicious and an unexpected flavor profile of sweet, savory and spicy. My main was the chicken ramen. Flavorful broth with perfectly cooked roasted chicken.

I'm sitting here in my living room, mired by an early, uninvited awakening. It was not a thud. No…read morealarm. Just a gentle frazzle of sunlight stealing me from night. In no way had my body rested. Donned in dawn, my underwear-pajamas slightly slid down revealed a sad vision of man, sloppily tangled in ruffled sheets. Exposed. There is nothing pretty about me, I thought, as I pondered if the sunlight were judging what it saw. Before reaching my current perch on the living room couch, I sat in bed flicking through news in search of something good, but simultaneously only pausing on the bad. Glorifying in the doom, really. It was the pinch I needed to prove I was indeed awake. All day I seek the pinch of pain to prove I am not dreaming. Coffee, cats, clothes, splashof water, and 20 steps later I find myself in the planning pose, here in the living room. The planning pose is very much like the wake-startle, sans the sheets and exposed crack. It involves me laying here on the couch actually reading the articles I perused earlier. I like to rationalize that the information gleaned is to set me up for a day of human interaction. Perhaps it is a study session to get up to human-social-speed. Right now it is dawning on me -- my second uninvited dawn of the day -- that perhaps behavior isn't responsible humanity, it is prolonged self torment. The tighter pinch. The proverbial purple nurple of challenging my awakened state. Cats gather around me. One at my feet and the other curled beside my thigh. Am I king to them? They are fed. Surely they are not here in need of something. Have I done something to warrant this attention? My affection toward them is inconsistent. It ebbs in startling fits of overly attentive playing or petting followed by long droughts of disregard. My ambivalence as their king gives me this luxury, and supports my theory that they may think I am indeed king. This is the type of cyclical example loop I am using as evidence to propel me from the underwear'ed fat man the sun observed moments ago. Evidence that says: "See, Sun, I am more than the larva you spotlighted. I am a god! The cats are evidence! And they sleep in your sun-puddles in undisputed, recognizable perfection, not the ugly crack-exposed heap you found me in. You love them. They love me. So, pinch yourself, and stop judging me!" Obviously the coffee is working, or maybe the cats are doing their trick: making me feel accepted in the universe. Whatever the case may be, I pet my cat. Dander floats into the sun's beams and crystallizes in the air. If you've ever seen dust in a thinly sliced light beam at dawn you know: Hope is the accidental luck of shadows bouncing off of the chaos but always cutting through. Always meeting a surface. Penetrating the thickest of atmospheres and colliding on flowers and alleys, on well planned solar panels, on potholes, through any crack, on my crack, projecting obtuse triangles, acute bi-angles, and isosceles quad-tangles, even while penetrating deep into the sea, revealing all the magnificent details of art, and occasionally falling on me. Trees bend to it. I give the cat closest a good scratch behind the ear and look out the window at the trees greening in spring. A dog walker pauses to pick up excrement. A squirrel cowers behind a branch. The ramen restaurant on the corner is cut through by light warming empty tables; tables preparing to slurp up hungry, hopeful lunchers into the belly of contentment. Dark, seemingly an antagonist to light's hero demeanor, sheepishly slinks away, humbly realizing it is not the opposite of light, but the absence. "Beautiful," I think as I see the spicy broth of life warming in the sun glow beyond the glass. Yes. It is beautiful. It really is. I couldn't see how much in the dark but the rhythm out the window is now clear. I turn to my cat, who is winding down a purr. We share a slow-blink gaze at one another as the last sliver of dawn is replaced with shadow in my house. He moves to the window sill to soak in every second as it departs. "Welp, buddy. Nothing left now. Time to bend to the light"

Beef based ramen was perfect for our friend who cant eat pork! We came wednesday night and it was…read morepacked! We had no reservation but when i checked the latest was 7, so Im guessing this is a popular late night bite. We waited about 40 minutes for a table of 5. Was slightly disappointed that two party that came after us got seated first at the bar. There were a lot of seats open as the dinner rush died so I wished we were asked if bar over table was fine because our 5th seat at the table ended up being a stool anyways. Miso Ramen: I could taste the difference between pork base and beef base for sure. I prefer pork, but if you like beef flavor this will be great. The beef was tender, but not too flavorful. The egg was PERFECT. Noodles are thin and while thicker noodles are my preference they were cooked just right. 7.3/10 the chili oil is made with ghost pepper FYI! I know they try to warn us with 3 spice sign but my friends were not ready and wish we were told this before and not when it hit our table. Overall not my taste profile and a bit more expensive than I like, I can see myself coming back for friends who cant eat pork.

So solid!! It was unique but also really savory and packed with umami. Definitely one of the highlights for me. I also tried the mentaiko udon. It was a bit salty for my personal taste, but I can totally see why it's popular. It's one of those dishes that's definitely worth trying at least once, even though I probably wouldn't order it again myself. Overall though, the quality of the fish really stood out. Fresh sushi, good service, and a great spot if you're craving sushi in Chicago.

A great spot if you're looking for nice quality sushi and really fast and attentive service. I got…read morethe Chicago roll and the the Umai crunch roll. I slightly preferred the umai crunch roll. The eel sauce really set it off. Next time, I wouldn't get two rolls that both have the crunchy topping.
