I was very impressed by this sushi place! My mom and I stopped here on our way to the Jack O Lantern World experience. I THINK THIS IS THE BEST SUSHI I'VE EVER HAD. It is a small place, but the food is EXCELLANT. We ordered the caterpillar roll and the deep fried Yoru roll. Both were very flavorful and fresh. A gentleman came in to pick up an order and said his kids love the sushi pizza. Never have we heard of this, so we ordered one, and it was OUTSTANDING! The crust was crunchy sticky rice with fish, teriyaki, and cheese on top. I highly recommend this place. I feel like it is more of a take out place than sit in, but the food is absolutely phenomenal! read more

Sushi Yoru - Mama and I at sushi yori - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Zurich, Illinois

After driving past this place every day for the last two years, I finally decided to pop in and grab some lunch. Super small mom and pop sushi place with great lunch specials. Was the sushi the best sushi I've ever had, no. Was it super fresh for a great price- YES! Will i be back to grab lunch again- also yes! I ordered the tuna lunch special and it came with miso soup read more

I dream about the sushi pizza from here. The staff is so friendly here. We often get take out for the variety. It has something for everyone including non sushi items. read more

After reading the reviews I was very excited to try Sushi Yoru! The dining room provides a comfortable, small business feel. Our waitress was kind and brought out complimentary miso soup halfway through our meal. While I love the family aspect of this business, I was left wanting more from the sushi quality. Sushi pizza: standout! Fun idea and good flavor. Not fish forward if that's what you're looking for Miso soup: semi warm and too salt forward for my taste Nigiri: unfortunately first bite tasted fishy with the tuna...I also placed an order for yellowtail and was told the kitchen had none for the evening. Salmon Sunset: hard to distinguish from sushi pizza. Good flavor but the sauces overtook the profile. Not what I personally look for in a sushi spot. read more

Great food here! My only complaint is that they need online ordering, an online menu, and hire more staff. I ordered one poke bowl and it took 30 minutes, Another time I ordered 2 rolls and that also took about 30 minutes, whereas I can get 2 entire meals at another Japanese restaurant in 15 minutes. This would help their efficiency. read more

Four stars for their service and politeness not for the food though. But I must say that for the price you can't beat it. It's a nice sushi place, seems family owned. I did not find the quality of their sushi rice good but again I got what I paid for. I will support this business whatsoever because it is really tough to sustain and they are really nice. read more

Sushi Yoru - Shrimp Tempura and Salmon roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Zurich, Illinois

This is a family favorite spot for sushi! The owners are so friendly and welcoming every time we go there. The sushi is fantastic and the prices are reasonable. It's a cozy and quiet restaurant with minimal tables. read more

Located in a strip mall, this is definitely a family owned business. Be patient if you come here because it did take a little bit of time to get the food. I ordered two rolls and it came with a lot of food. It also came with miso soup. Decent spot, very casual. read more

Small, conveniently located sushi spot. Rolls were tasty and affordable, especially with complimentary miso soup and gyōza. Rolls are cut in smaller, more bite-sized pieces than most places. I hate trying to cut rolls with my chopsticks. Only 5 tables so get there early. read more

Nestled in a small strip mall, this sushi restaurant is easy to pass by. It's across from a Burger King and near other fast food restaurants. I think it's easy to go there for a quick meal and miss Yoru. It's a tiny restaurant. There are two employees. The hostess, server/waitress, and cashier is the owner. She does A LOT. She is extremely friendly and polite. I can only imagine how tired she is at the end of the day. The sushi menu is limited and simple. They have a unique item called the sushi burrito. It's a sushi roll wrapped in seaweed but isn't cut into pieces. It was good, but it was different holding an entire sushi roll. Other rolls I tried were the California and Philly. You also get soup and rangoons. It doesn't look like much, but you should try it. The food is good and prices are reasonable. You'll definitely enjoy the friendly service. read more

The food is fantastic, they are very kind and you can tell the love goes into their food. Always fresh and flavorful. read more

Sushi Yoru - Catapiller roll!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Zurich, Illinois

I enjoyed the Dragon roll for its variety of tastes. Sushi was made to go quite promptly. Didn't have time to eat in but seemed like a good clean place decorated with items from Japan. Would recommend this place for all sushi fans but that is just my opinion. read more

my favorite sushi! Super nice lady working there and professional looking chef. Awesome fish tank and art aswell.

A great spot for sushi, Raman and Katsu. It's pretty small, so we always do take out. I love the caterpillar roll, while my son always gets chicken Katsu. The couple that runs the place is super friendly and welcoming. Definitely visit this place! read more

Sushi Yoru - Caterpillar roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Zurich, Illinois

Absolutely the BEST! Last fall, 7 year old asked if we could try every sushi restaurant in Lake Zurich to review and compare along with a few in other towns. Ever since we have only come back here! The lady owner greets my daughter like a long lost grand daughter, she is so sweet. The food is awesome and SO reasonable plus we never get out of here without free soup, plus free drinks, rice or appetizer- they are TOO generous! The tuna and the salmon dragon are my favorites (fresh, delicious) plus the Bimi Bop salad with chopped tuna, salmon, avocado, rice, fresh greens and spicy mayo is HUGE and a rediculously good deal! It's so quaint and relaxed it feels like home. We look forward to our time here! read more

Sushi Yoru - Caterpillar role, tuna dragon roll and Bimi bop salad (tuna and salmon chunks with avocado rice and greens) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Zurich, Illinois

Arrived at 6:45, 2 or 3 tables were open, they said we couldn't sit because they were booked until 8 and we also couldn't order take out (again, multiple tables were open). Also, I had called earlier to let them know we would be coming in for their delicious sushi pizza... all the lady said was sorry, we can't help you. We have been here before and loved the sushi pizza, but this is a terrible business model. Do not recommend. read more

Excellent quality, service, and value every time I order from Sushi Yoru. Enjoyed all of the rolls we ordered, which were fresh with the perfect amount of rice. My personal favorite was the Tuna Tataki (has a bit of a kick to it), though Salmon Sunset and Dragon were both quite tasty too. The owners are always so welcoming and kind. Appreciate the complimentary service and the recommendations they gave me while ordering. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered carryout from here this evening and I'm still debating where the stars should land. There were some really great things that made it a positive experience; the woman who took my order over the phone was very nice. The food was ready timely, the portions were great and we even got 2 cups of miso soup and some gyoza that we didn't order!! The salmon sunset roll was delicious; it had a really unique flavor with the seared salmon on top! I also appreciated that the ramen bowl toppings were packaged separately as not to get soggy before consumption. On the other hand, we were really disappointed in the ramen bowl and the tuna dragon roll. The ramen bowl didn't have any flavor. I ended up adding some salt but it really needed a lot of it, and more than that. The fried chicken on it was cooked well as was the ramen, but I had hopes of that dish bursting with flavor and it left me wanting. The tuna dragon roll felt a bit less fresh - the tuna itself and also the seaweed used. I'd certainly like to try this place again for an ultimate decision but as of now I'm settling in the middle. I can't disregard the positive aspects of the experience but the food was 50/50. read more

Um I can't believe I've lived nearby and never tried this place till now!! The prices are great for the quality of fish/food and this will be a new addiction for takeout read more

This place knocked my socks off! Sushi Yoru really is the cat's meow. Amazing miso soup, the gyoza were perfect, and don't even get me started on the big poke bowls!!!! I'm freaking out I love this establishment so much XD me and my sister Ella came here for a little ~afternoon snack~ which turned into a full on MEAL! We couldn't stay away. From the bottom of my heart, I love you to the moon and back, Sushi Yoru :) read more

Sushi Yoru - Tuna dragon roll, seaweed salad and free miso soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Zurich, Illinois

Stopped in for lunch on a weekend work trip. Had been craving sushi for awhile, and was really impressed with this place! Everything I ordered was well crafted and flavorful. Top marks for the miso soup! It was perfect for the cold day! The deep fried sweet potato roll was fantastic. The location and parking were convenient and the restaurant was very clean. The owners were very sweet and kind. Highly recommend! read more

We go there all the time! The deep fried rolls are great for someone who may not love sushi. I love the caterpillar as well. Service is amazing, they always give us free extra food. It is not expensive and it is all made in house by a great chef / owner who has been there for many years read more

So pleased with our first visit to Sushi Yoru! Wanted to support a local business during COVID and it was fantastic. Easy to order over the phone, quick pickup, well packaged and really great price. Started with edamame and gyoza. They also include free miso soup. The spicy salmon and dragon rolls were fresh and flavorful. But the tuna tataki and Godzilla were our favorites! Both really excellent...taste, texture and complexity. Highly recommend Sushi Yoru! read more

Sushi Yoru is located in a corner unit in a strip mall (between a Jimmy John's and a Dentist's office). It's not the cleanest place you'll visit and it's pretty small, but the people are nice and the servings are generous for the price. Their menu is small. They have one nice laminated version and then some photocopied versions for you to order from. Upon seating, you are given a cup of water in a styrofoam cup. Service was pretty slow and disorganized but the lady taking care of us was really pleasant. The sushi chef was also really nice. The flavors are average on the traditional rolls, but a bit better on their speciality (Yoru roll). We were given complimentary miso soup (tasty but only lukewarm) and complimentary gyoza (Average and reheated in a microwave and also only lukewarm). The chef works at a feverish pace as he's making carry out orders in between dine in. I never saw any hand washing occur and the server also prepares food, so not really a fan of that. No gloves are worn by anyone. The prices were really fair for what we got and we were given a bowl of cherries for dessert which I thought was nice. With a few improvements, this could be a really great place, but for now, I would say food is average, cleanliness below average, workers above average. read more

Good basic sushi. Local restaurant. Service is always good- and friendly. Done in is very basic, we usually use for takeout

Very nice staff, food was excellent, fresh, and filling! My first time here and I enjoyed it greatly. read more

I had the BIBIM BOP it was great, just what i wanted. nicely sauteed veg w chicken . the cal roll was just fine too w a miso soup. nice people. nice space. read more

Focused so much on the takeout orders they don't take care of the customers eating in. Our edamame came at the end of the meal. Left off the egg hubby requested on his bibimbap. Just fair. No ambience. Wouldn't go back. read more

I got the tofu bowl. It didn't really have a lot of flavor. Wait was kind of long for food.

Incredible quality and incredible service. Different ambience than Tsukasa - more of a small quaint family owned place but you won't regret giving it a shot. The owners are so sweet and attentive and the prices especially lunch special is hard to beat. Best thing of all is the quality of fish and food overall. We have tried different rolls and the sushi bibimbop (poke bowl) and yum! You can ask for it without rice if you're on low carb :) this is now our go to place in lake Zurich :) they are also open for lunch which is nice because not all sushi places in area are. read more

First time eating here tonight. So glad we found this hidden gem. Great service. Wonderful flavors. We will 100% be back! Thank You, and Thank You! read more

Worth the wait! Literally, I wrote this post as I waited for the owner, a wise tenured Japanese man, who opened this place 20+ years ago. He crafts his sushi with care and artistry, you can see it in the presentation. This place is legit! I can say this because I have been to Japan and several dozen other sushi places. Just watch how he prepares mackerel sashimi, he soaks it in lemon and minces ginger and onion. The best I have ever had! It's a small unassuming place, but clean and friendly. Not usually busy, so no wait to be seated, but again worth the time it as he takes him to prepare your meal. read more
