We were craving sushi recently so decided on Tanoshii for takeout. We got a few different nigiri which ranged from $8-12 for 2 pieces. We also got the spicy tuna special roll ($21). All the nigiri was SO GOOD! Tasted incredibly fresh and probably some of the best nigiri I have ever had. The roll was also delicious and flavorful. It came with 10 average sized pieces. Overall the flavor and quality is really good but Tanoshii is pretty pricey. We didn't get much food but the cost adds up pretty quickly. Seemed overpriced for a casual sushi craving on a regular night. But if you're looking for mostly quality and don't care as much about the price this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Tanoshii West Loop - Nigiri and spicy tuna special roll - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tanoshii was a wonderful experience with absolutely delicious sushi! My husband and I chose the Full Omakase - appetizers, nigiri and special rolls all picked by the chef and it was an AMAZING experience!! It was exciting not knowing what was coming next and everything was so delectable! The fish and chips appetizer includes a cool presentation and the scallops were perfectly cooked!! Our favorite roll was an extra spicy salmon roll! The cucumber martini I had was so refreshing, light and perfectly paired with the sushi! Can't wait to tell our friends about this place and come back in the future! read more

Do you want to take your tastebuds to pleasure town? Then come have an amazing experience at this sushi joint. I wish I could give this place more stars. Myself and two friends had a late Saturday night dinner here and it did not disappoint. Unlike most sushi places with a standard menu of basic and specialty rolls, Tanoshii customizes their rolls to your desired tastes. We had several wonderful craft cocktails ($12) and we couldn't pick a favorite. Definitely recommend either the fish & chips app or maguro app - both were visually stunning. Then we relinquished control and let the chef create three unqiue rolls for us. We told him what we liked and didn't like then they brought out a roll one by one. Each one more delicious than the next. Tanoshii not only had quality fish but also innovative sauces like a hot pepper jelly, 16 yr aged white peach balsamic, and the very popular honey truffle oil. Custom rolls range from ($19-$24) and the classic basics range from ($7-$10). Can't wait to come back! read more

Great sushi spot for unique and creative rolls! We did 4 of the special rolls and they were all excellent. We just let our server know our fish preference and the chefs created great dishes. Our rolls had salmon, tuna, and Hamachi and ranged from spicy to sweet to earthy (one had chopped mushrooms inside and it had a surprising and tasty flavor). The service was excellent. Everything arrived very quickly... We were very impressed with how fast all of our food came out. read more

The food was amazing. Creative menu. Great and inventive flavor combinations. The quality of the fish was top shelf...melted in your mouth kind of good. Kevin is a fantastic server. He answered all our questions about the menu, and made appropriate recommendations. He was also just so polite and so nice, while being so efficient. The table was always clean. Food came only when we were ready for the next course and the wine was never low. I would highly recommend this location for a great casual dinner meeting with friends, dates, work...all the bases covered. Oh! The beautiful fresh plants everywhere set the decor over the top! read more

Popped in here on a random weekday with my boyfriend. The restaurant was empty, however within a few minutes the restaurant was bustling with people. Our waiter was great and explained the menu to us. The basic rolls on the menu did not spike our interest so we decided to head a different direction. We were pretty intrigued with their signature or special rolls. We let our server know our preferences and left it in the chef's hands to create two sushi rolls that would blow our mind away! Our two rolls were freaking amazing! I am not completely sure what was in each but one of the rolls was a combination of salmon, cucumber, avocado and a yummy, spicy truffle oil. The other roll had shrimp tempura. The rolls were great! The only issue was that the rolls took forever to come out! By the time the food came out I was already done with my first cocktail and about to head to my second! Also, aside from the lenghty time it took our food to arrive we were very displeased with the pieces of nigiri. It is customary for us to order a few pieces at any sushi restaurant. We ordered two pieces of the hamachi, tuna, salmon, scallop, fatty tuna and the king crab. None of the nigiri was particularly great. Definitely not impressed at all, especially for what we paid. Although the special rolls were great we would probably not return. I mean come on, nigiri is such an essential part of any sushi establishment! Plus it was also half of our bill. read more

Smallest most expensive and least satisfying sushi I've ever had. In myMy miso soup bowl tasted as if there was still dish soap in the bowl. This is a "dining" experience never to be repeated. For example, my order of Ikura (salmon roe) sushi, the pieces were the size of a quarter, at 2x the cost of my local favorite back in NEWYORK (always more expensive). Additionally, I didn't enjoy what I considered to be a significant lack of professionalism with the sushi chefs discussing their social lives in front of me while I was dining at the sushi bar. read more

Excellent, bordering closely on superb. All of the rolls were delicious, and their Toro is some of the better I've had in recent memory. Really nice sake list as well, and the staff was very helpful in making some recommendations for food/drink. Tanoshii Sushi Mike's isn't inexpensive by any means, but the quality of the overall experience for sure justifies the price. I wish we could get sushi in the Bay Area as good at it was here. Well done to everyone involved. read more

The drinks were incredible. The food was just as good but the drinks were as good as Violet Hour. I can't express how good the service was but it was perfection. I am beyond impressed. Just spend the money on whatever is recommended, well beyond worth it. They do not try to sell you on garbage, it is pure gold. read more

This place is amazing, I came here for my first omakase experience ever and absolutely loved it! This was largely due to the wonderful service Michelle gave which made my experience perfect. She went above and beyond, even giving me a cup of tea on the house cause of how cold it was outside, which was a perfect example of how friendly and genuine the service was here. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very chill and relaxing, with dim lighting and nice music, which helps elevate the food and dining experience overall. The omakase experience begins with telling your server what you like and don't like, and from there, the chef builds the perfect course of taste for the diner. The food was very delicious, and the chef outdid himself, especially with the lightly seared bluefin that was easily my favorite of the night. It was also my first-time having sea urchin, and it blew my mind how good it tasted! The bill ended up around 70$ because I decided to add some more signature rolls afterwards, and I highly recommend this place for anyone, both alone, and with others. read more

After spending a week in Barcelona, Hubby and I desperately craved sushi so Sushi Mike's was our first stop back home. Made reservations for an early Friday dinner to beat the rush and so that we could bring along our 20 month old daughter. The hostess was so friendly, fawning over baby girl. They gave us a table in the corner right in the back of the restaurant, which gave us more privacy and more room for her to walk around. In fact, we had that entire section to ourselves during our visit. There was pop music playing in the background, which our daughter would immediately break down into a mini-dance party of one. Thankfully she didn't bother anyone and all the servers were very nice to her. Since we were both hungry, we opted for the Omakase, especially when learning that certain fan favorite rolls were only available with the Omakase vs. al la carte. It's also a good way to sample their menu since it included appetizers, sashimi, nigiri, and sushi. The server estimated $50-65 per person factoring in food allergies and depending on preferences. The only thing we both didn't want was uni. The amount of food included was perfect. Their take on "Fish and Chips" was creative. The Maguro Sashimi was delicious with the truffle chive sauce not overpowering the big eye tuna. The fish selection for the nigiri and sushi was fresh. Glad we went for the Omakase and can add this place to our list of go-to sushi spots in Chicago. read more

I kept going back and forth on what number of stars to give to this place! Let me explain why. First off, the sushi here is absolutely delicious. Loved every single roll that we ordered. It truly is some of the freshest tasting fish I've probably ever ordered raw and it is high quality too. This would absolutely be my go-to sushi spot, hands down! Maki roll recommendations: Philadelphia roll, tuna roll (was supposed to be spicy but we requested just fresh tuna), veggie roll, and Negi hamachi. I can't wait to go back to try more. Here's why I sadly can't give 5 stars, as much as I want to. Our waiter, Mike, was so kind and helpful with allergy accommodations. You can tell how hard he was working the whole night. This wasn't his fault at all, but the kitchen became extremely backed up with orders. Unfortunately, this led to a very long delay in bringing out our order. We had to wait almost an hour for our second order of rolls to arrive, because the first round was so good that we wanted more (and we had mistakenly not ordered enough in the first round). To be honest, we probably could have ordered a third order of rolls, but at that point it was just too late and we didn't want to risk a long wait time again. It's truly unfortunate that there was a backup in the kitchen because the sushi was so delicious. In fact, the sushi was so good that despite the kitchen mishap, I would still go back in a heartbeat. read more

Favorite sushi spot in the city! This is the only place that I am not a picky sushi person at. I just let chef make his own thing and he never disappoints!! Turo is the best here! read more

If your looking for good quality sushi and service this is not the place to go. Sushi rolls had very little rice where the nori was exposed and flavor was not great. The worst part was the "tiger shrimp" dish...the shrimp were small and over cooked. The other two Entrée dish had teriyaki not something you would see at an authentic Japanese restaurant. Really amazed this place has 4 stars. read more

Oh my goodness! This place is absolutely amazing! The sushi chefs really listened to what I like and what I don't like. Everything that they made I devoured it! Def. get the bluefin sashimi that is seared with truffle honey and chive sauce. Literally melted like butter in my mouth! All the Mike's Special Rolls are completely worth it! All the flavors went perfect together. read more

Amazing meal and service here. I found trying their special roll in the non traditional format was delicious and rewarding! Highly recommend coming here for a date night or if you love sushi. Great prices and even better food. read more

Solid four-star sushi spot...but strangely, the star of the show was not the sushi here. That would be the tempura shrimp and vegetable order under the small plates menu. Friends, I've spent time in Japan and hit almost every reputable Japanese restaurant that has been open for at least a year...and the tempura at Tanoshii's is the best I have had in the US. Weird, right? But they just make it perfectly here; perfectly and lightly battered, perfectly cooked shrimp, potatoes and vegetables, the warm tempura dipping sauce (I'll assume a standard of soy and mirin, but I didn't ask for the specific makeup)...all of it was great. The rest of our experience was good to great, but not nearly as standout as the tempura. We tried the calamari, the shishito peppers, and an order of hamachi and suzuki nigiri. All of this was tasty, although the hamachi--despite its chewy texture, which I loved--was a bit of a miss in terms of flavor. For rolls we did the Red Caterpillar and the spicy salmon rolls, and both of those were tasty, even if they were not as spicy as we were hoping for (not necessarily a criticism since food in America is generally not spicy enough for neither my wife nor I). But the fish was full of flavor and the caterpillar design of the roll was a nice touch. The space is a little too trendy for a sushi place...but of course, when your restaurant is in the heart of the West Loop (just east of Halsted and Randolph), that's going to happen. Great service and reasonable prices given the 'hood. I'll be back for that tempura for sure! read more

Tanoshii West Loop - three trays of sushi on a table - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was so excited because of the high reviews, but so disappointed. This is not for authentic sushi/sashimi fans. It was Saturday night, and the place was not that busy, which should have been a sign, but I was still hopeful. The only things worth getting is the uni sushi, and fish and chips. The sushi had too much wasabi overpowering the dish, and the flavor combinations were just odd. Sashimi and the fish on the sushi was lukewarm, when it should be cold. Everything came very quickly - we were in and out within 30 min. Not worth it. Good service though. read more

Tanoshii West Loop - Tuna, yellowtail, scallop, fatty salmon belly, unagi, uni, and yellowtail belly nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sushi Mike's is a 5 star experience for what they present themselves as and what they specialize in: Rolls, rolls, rolls and amazing sauces. If you're a sushi purist and only like sashimi and nigiri, you will enjoy Sushi Mike's (their fish is extremely fresh), but they probably won't stand out above some of the other top sushi places in the city. If you're into unique Japanese creations and want to experience a true omakase filled with a huge variety of ingenious bites - Kai Zan is a better bet for you. But if you enjoy beautifully crafted sushi rolls filled with amazing flavor combinations and genius sauces, then Sushi Mike's is the place for you. The sauces do overpower the fish in many cases, but the sauces are so damn good, who cares? My husband and I had dinner there this past Friday and based on all the yelp reviews, we deferred to the "omakase" for our meal. Seriously, don't even bother with the menu. While Sushi Mike's offers a true omakase in the sense that you are getting chef creations rather than ordering off their menu, rather than enjoy one or two bites of many different dishes, you're getting full order sizes to share. Yes, as many yelpers have pointed out, Sushi Mike's is quite expensive. However, $20-24 per omakase roll is not that extreme, considering you're getting a large size roll (10 pieces), top quality ingredients, and experiencing flavors you've never before had (um, chili truffle oil sauce anyone?). Plus, considering that average and below average sushi joints in this city charge anywhere from $16-18 for a "specialty" roll, I don't mind paying the upcharge for one of Mike's creations. Michelle was our server and was very helpful in guiding us in our ordering. We told her which types of fish we liked (which was basically everything), we told her which flavors we enjoy (spicy, sweet, something with a crunch, etc.). Also, if you see something on yelp or have heard about a particular item, don't feel shy to request it. I knew I wanted to try the chili truffle sauce and Michelle had no problem canceling whatever item the chef was preparing and asked him to make that particular one. Our omakase meal consisted of 5 items for a total of about $110, plus our $30 bottle of sake. Not too shabby for a complete sushi feast, of which we enjoyed every single bite. We easily could have done one or two less items and still left satisfied, but we were celebrating and when in Rome... Item #1: Yellowtail roll with a sauce made of fresh grated wasabi and ginger. Flavor-wise, this was probably the most basic of the items, and least unique. However, the yellowtail was extremely fresh and the roll was overall delicious. Item #2: Tuna and avocado on top and spicy tuna inside roll with chili truffle oil sauce. Every bite was heaven. Pure heaven. Excellent tuna quality and while I normally dislike the mushiness of spicy tuna, this was very tasty and firm. Item #3: Salmon roll with tempura flakes and a spicy sauce that was to die for. Item #4: For our 4th item, Michelle recommended we switch it up from rolls and suggested this soft shell crab dish. Tempura fried soft shell crab with spicy tuna on top and of course an amazing sauce to go with it. This was also heavenly and plentiful, with 10 full pieces. We were pretty full after the 4 items, but wanted just one more bite. Item #5: Michelle guided us to the mango hand rolls that were a hand roll made of a hollowed out half mango, stuffed with a fish medley (tuna, super white tuna, and other deliciousness), with a peach vinaigrette. The perfect item to end our meal on - unique, delicious, and a bit dessert-like. To top it off, we got a complimentary plate of chocolate and strawberry mochi wedges when Michelle found out we were celebrating my birthday. My only complaint, or concern rather, is that everything came out alarmingly fast. Our first item arrived, literally less than 3 minutes after we ordered. And while everything tasted freshly made, it kind of kills the experience a little bit when your rolls come out as fast as if they'd been made ahead of time and just sitting there waiting on you to arrive. To be fair, even once we started making requests for specific items, they were still coming out just as fast so I think it was just the combination of a less crowded night and really fast chefs. Like I said, if you're a purist or in the mood for classic sushi, Sushi Mike's is not the place. If you're looking for a cheaper sushi experience, go elsewhere. But if you want to experience intense flavors combined and enjoy every bite - Sushi Mike's will not let you down. read more

Tonight was my third time at Tanoshii and it fell nothing short of exceptional. Sushi Mike, you are the Messiah. I will keep this short. One word....OMASAKE! Japanese for "I leave it to you". And that's exactly what you should do here, leave it to the pros. While you chat and drink, Sushi Mike and his team of experts will conjure up some of the best sushi rolls that ever lived. Pro tip - do order the fish and chips for an appetizer...bomb!!!! And do have them make you the roll which contains the mushrooms and some sort of heavenly oil. You're life will forever be changed! Thank you Sushi Mike, I will be back again and again!! read more

Tanoshii West Loop - So fresh! - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ever since watching the Hong Kong rom com Hot Summer Days, it's been my dream to be a regular at a sushi place and sit at the bar and watch the sushi chef work and be cute like Vivian Hsu. Now that I've been to Tanoshii, this dream seems very feasible (except the dating the chef part, I guess). I stopped by with a friend for an after work bite during their soft opening. I was expecting a empty place but clearly Sushi Mike has quite the following because the bar was packed with his regulars. The venue was surprisingly large, with lots of bar space, tables, and booth seating. The decor is clean and modern, very fitting with the food and the overall classy, but fun ambiance. To eat, we split an order of fish and chips and one roll. It was a bit of a tease, but we both had plans for more food afterwards so we didn't want to overdo it (which was a mistake! All I really wanted was to keep eating sushi). Definitely try the fish and chips! Fresh, delicious fish prepared table-side by your server. So perfect. I can't wait to come back and eat more Sushi Mike's omakase rolls-- customized based on personal preferences or restrictions-- which is really what they're known for. It might seem a little pricey for one roll (~$20 per roll), but definitely worth it. The best part of it was being able to meet and talk to the staff, especially Sushi Mike. He absolutely loves what he does and it definitely shows through his food, his aura, and the passion that gets passed down into every employee. read more

We had dinner on a Friday night at Tanoshii Sushi and it was a lackluster experience to say the least. Décor: Inside and out this is a pretty nice place. It isn't very large, having only a little more than a handful of tables and a splattering of bar seating, but everything is clean and pretty new. There are also a lot of windows, which I'm always a fan of for places. Bathroom: unknown Staff: We were seated right away (we did have a reservation) but then we just sat, and sat, and SAT... it must have taken our waiter 15mins to finally come over and introduce himself and explain the menu. He was a higher-caliber waiter (speaking to his knowledge of the menu alone) but not very punctual. After we received our food, which took a while (and it was not very crowded), ate it, and finished, we again waited for an extended time for him to return for us to ask for the check. After he took our credit card it, again, took an inordinate amount of time for him to return. I'm not sure what the issue was but it only seemed to be with him. The bus boys were great, always refilling our water (even to the bitter end when we were standing up to leave haha). Food: We only had water (as per usually with sushi) and edamame to start, in addition to miso soup and a green salad (wow, the salad was AMAZING!) For dinner we each had a few different rolls consisting of a regular spicy tuna and California, and two special rolls which were Dragon and Rainbow. Overall, the food was so-so. While it tasted fine/normal the portion size left MUCH to be desired - the rolls just don't have much girth to them. Value: Given the service and the small roll sizes I really felt like we overpaid leaving here. Tanoshii has the possibility to be a decent sushi place but they really need to get their act together in key areas to get there. I don't see us returning in the future. read more

Went on a weekday night last week with family visiting from out of town. If you're a sushi lover, you MUST GO. And even if you don't like sushi, they have a whole non-sushi menu which is also delicious. The best is just to tell Sushi Mike to do whatever it is he does, and you won't be disappointed! It really is unbelievable. I'm still thinking about the sushi rolls now... If you do go in the next couple weeks, just keep in mind that they haven't actually had their grand opening yet. They are still in a soft opening period and working out the kinks, training staff, etc (as any new business would need at this stage). But, go and see for yourself- if nothing else, for the love of sushi!!! read more

Forget looking at the menu and just let the great team of sushi chefs create something for you. Tell your server what you like and don't like and soon the rolls will be coming to your table. While more expensive than the regular rolls on the menu, the "omasake" part of the menu where the chefs create, was my favorite part of my meal here. The created roll was $22 versus the others at $8 and $13 so definitely a splurge, but we said we liked hot and this roll was great! Our server, Susan, was also great! Pleasant, personable and definitely helpful she made sure our visit was spot on. Our tea (very hot, she said and she was right!) was never empty and she knew just the right amount of food for us to order. The place is bigger than I thought as it has an entire back dining room which I didn't even know was there. If you find yourself looking to get your sushi fix on in the W. Loop, look no further than Sushi Mikes! read more

After enjoying sushi Mike's Andersonville location - we decided to give this place a try this past Friday night. Even though the place is pretty big and you should be able to get in easily even on a weekend - the best secret about this place is to sit at the sushi bar!!! Sushi Mike must be one hell of a fresh fish acquirer, because the type of fish and cuts that he has at his place is simply orgasmic! Just don't look at the menu and ask the chef's at the bar to bring you food until you are done. Its called the sushi Mike special omakase menu and it is simply divine! The flavors and cuts of fish that we received were absolutely top notch! We really enjoyed some of the drinks that they have at the place, but some of them took a little long to make and they are a little pricey. Especially since his other location is BYOB...a bit painful, but the amazing sushi covers it all up! read more

Well it all started when I got a great, free parking spot close to the restaurant, which is no easy feat on a Friday night in the West Loop these days We weren't sure where we were going, and wanted to just pop in somewhere so it was fate that the parking spot took us to T. Sushi Mike's. Walking in with no reservations, we were warmly welcomed and seated in a very comfortable, contemporary space with large floor to ceiling windows, Japanese influenced design and decor, bar, sushi bar and two separate dining spaces allowing each space to be more intimate. But what about the food? Well, it was excellent. We shared a number of meticulously prepared and delicious appetizers. Some of the stand outs included the seaweed salad, seared scallops over garlic butter sauted shitake mushrooms, the "Fish and Chips" (not what you think) was a treat and the flash fried Shishito peppers were outstanding. They have some rolls, sashimi etc on the menu but we went with the "Chef's Special"...which is you give the server some guidance on what you're wanting to eat and they will customize a roll for you. We went with "Tuna/Salmon", "some heat" "crunch" and savory. What came back met our expectations and then some. There are some other dishes, craft Japanese beers etc that are not on the menu so be sure and grill your server on what's going on. The only thing sweeter and more delicious than our Plum Wine Mochi was our server Michele. Wow she is a treasure,... and obviously a hard core foodie. Her positive energy, enthusiasm, efficiency, engagement and authenticity really enhanced our overall dining experience. Thank you M for making a great meal even "greater". read more

I'd honestly give this restaurant a 5 star review but the problem is it's SOOOO FREAKIN EXPENSIVE!!!! And also, not only is it UBER EXPENSIVE they also don't break down the bill!!!! It's like your order these specials, like Mike's special and you never know how much you're going to get charged! Last time I was really disappointed because we ended up with a $180 bill and only had like 4 rolls and 3 drinks! I mean that's a little much...even for such great quality fish! I love the place, the rolls are amazing - the uni is always fresh, their fatty and semi-fatty tuna is fabulous and the fish and chips are to die for! But honestly, I wish they'd bring their prices a bit down. That may be the reason why the place doesn't have a 1 hour wait on a Friday night like say Toro in LP does. read more

I've been to this establishment several tune over the last couple of years. Service is great and the full omakase experience works out well. We added a few extra apps. The agedashi tofu is not recommended as the batter was too hard and the aged dashi didn't seem flavorful when I compared to other establishments. The sushi is always very fresh. The selection of whisky and sake selection are pretty good. This is an affordable place compared up the much pricier options nearby. read more

I've been to tanoshii multiple times since moving to Chicago. The sushi is very fresh and the service excellent. I always get the veggie role ( not a super big fish fan) but my fiancé gets the chefs special which is always great. You can ask for certain things to be left out of the roll. If you order 2-3 chef special rolls, they will all be different and delicious! Last night, ours was tuna, mushroom and a chive sauce (tasted way better than it sounds!). I had the seaweed salad, which was amazing. The Lychee martini was also great! prices are slightly expensive, but the food is always great. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time on opentable, but you can usually make it earlier that day. read more
