Our foodie adventure continued this evening in Chicago at a family run restaurant that was an Asian fusion flavor paradise. The owners are a married couple (He is Lebanese and she is Mexican) and they have created such a fantastic place for any lover of amazing sushi, Japanese cuisine with a Latin flair. Warm and inviting service and eclectic art from local artists adds to the vibe here. Can't decide which of the paintings are our favorite This was a culture fusion place I never knew I needed in my life. If in Chicago- please check this place out! read more

This place is much bigger than I expected from the outside. It is Japanese-Mexican fusion. All of the fusion rolls are delicious. The ingredients are very fresh. The menu is very extensive. While nothing was wrong with my meal or service, it was just very dark here. read more

Really great service and friendly staff! Overall ambiance is vibrant yet cozy. Food did not disappoint. The lobster wontons were crispy and savory- a great recommendation per staff! We also got 4 rolls of sushi between 3 people: fresh salmon, dragon, spicy fusion, and a spider roll, all of which were fresh and balanced in flavor. The mango passion fruit and mango guava mocktails were another great recommendation- fun and sweet for people that don't want alcohol. Definitely would come back! read more

What a gem. Never heard of Latin Japanese fusion but it works and it delicious. The sushi was delicious and our entrees were very yummy. The katsu curry is wonderful on a cold Chicago night. Warm and filling. read more

Tsukiji is a sushi-Latin fusion restaurant with a variety of options (sushi, ramen, udon) and drinks! I got the Rumba with cream cheese (no extra charge) because the server said the Tropical does not have rice and is for people who reallllly like plantains. The chirashi don was good but expensive for what it was. Service was great. The ambiance inside was lively but intimate. Would definitely go back for the happy hour deals and to try the margaritas! read more

For starters, that margarita is the best drink I have ever had in my life. Perfect mix of spicy, sweet and tangy. 1000000/10. The sushi was fresh and delicious and the apps were delicious. This is a family owned business and the owners were so attentive and kind. read more

I never expected the Latin Asian cuisine to pair so well! Welcoming atmosphere and the staff is always friendly. Their miso soup may be the best in the city. Sammy makes the best sushi! I will definitely be back. read more

Tsukiji Sushi Sake Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here for dinner on Saturday night and was seated right away. The staff were really friendly and the decor was a nice vibe. The prices are a bit high for the quality of food that they provide to you. Spicy Edamame: edamame dressed with raw spicy pepper and sesame seeds Mangonada roll $21: I see the effort in the "fusion" but I wouldn't call this sushi. Salmon Avocado roll $11: this was a good classic roll. It would be nice if there was a better rice to filling ratio. Dragon roll $21: this roll was good. Good ratios of filling to rice and ingredients were fresh. Mariscos Ramen $28: had to wait awhile for this one. The ramen came out way later than the rolls. The flavours were good. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The scallops were so chewy and over cooked. It seems like they hard seared the scallops and then put them into hot broth to cook it again. Unfortunately, the broth was way too spicy that I had to take it home to dilute it with water to eat it. Overall, I liked the vibe. It was a bit off putting & tacky to be asked to share their restaurant online. The food was mid. read more

Tsukiji Sake Bar feels so welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff made us feel at home, and the food was solid across the board. The owner, Jessy, even came by our table to chat and make sure we were enjoying everything -- such a thoughtful touch that made the experience even better. Everything tasted fresh, and I especially liked the karaage and takoyaki. The salmon had a bit more sauce than I usually prefer, but I can see how others might like that style. Personally, I'd enjoy a little less sauce or dressing overall, but that's just my taste. The patio was spacious and comfortable, and I liked that the whole place had an open, roomy feel. They also have a good drink menu that paired nicely with the food. Overall, a very nice spot with a warm atmosphere and attentive service -- I'd happily go back. read more

Love this spot! They have a latin fusion sushi menu and drinks. Their margaritas with homemade fruit purees are spectacular! Their sushi rolls are also great! My favorites are the guacamole fusion and lime fusion rolls. The ambiance was also great! They had Latin music and it felt upbeat. Our server was nice, but the food did take a while to come out. That wasn't an issue for us, but just something to note read more

I've been wanting to try this spot after seeing a lot of social media posts and came during happy hour. The margaritas were too sweet, and the food items on happy hour were no difference in price. I also was charged extra for a spicy margarita. The lobster wontons were tasty with nice chunks of lobster inside. The rumba roll was interesting and weirdly sweet because of the fried plantain- I honestly wouldn't order this again. The salmon ikebukuro was fresh and delicious. Service was great and friendly. Interesting fusion concept! read more

Food was delicious! Seafood Ramen was on point! Very surprised the amount of scallops in one dish! The broth was so delicious I wanted to lick the bowl clean...lol Sushi rolls were tasty and just a bit of a kick. They had alot of flavor and the freshness was definitely there! Creme Brulee for dessert was perfect. Overall such a great concept and fusion of Japanese and Mexican flavors! Jessy the Co-owner was so sweet and a delight to converse with during my meal. Looking forward to visiting again and inviting my colleagues! Best Regards, Louie Delgado Bon Appétit read more

I had some troubles with this restaurant. Although our server was truly really nice and offered great recommendations from the menu, the overall functioning of the restaurant was far from optimal and my particular meal wasn't very flavorful nor worth the hefty price. I booked a table for our party of 4 at 6pm Three if us arrived on time to a relatively empty restaurant, with the fourth person 15 minutes away. We were hoping to get started on drinks. We were told no matter what we wanted to order, they could not sit us until our entire party was here, despite not being busy. When we were finally sat at our table, we knew pretty quickly our entire order, but the staff could not take our entire order at once. Although I really enjoyed the guava margarita (the Mexican part of the fusion restaurant) this resulted in us waiting 20-30 minutes before we can place our apps and mains...dragging out the entire sit in experience to over 3 hours on a not busy Sunday night! There were some highlights of the food, the spicy edamame was delicious and their fatty tuna special was very smooth. However my beef curry don was pretty bland, didn't have the typical starchy potatoes in Japanese curry, and beef was minimal. It definitely was not worth the 20+ charged for it. Although the ambiance of the restaurant was dimly lit and fairly romantic, I wouldn't return give the long wait and overpriced food read more

Tsukiji Sushi Sake Bar - Guava margarita - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fun spot we found while on vacation in Chicago. We didn't have a reservation so did have to wait 15-20min. It's a smaller restaurant so not as much seating. They have some unique rolls. We enjoyed everything. It was very filling. Especially the chicken udon. Good flavor. Wish we had a microwave in the room for leftovers. The sushi menu has some regular favorites, but also a few unique fusion rolls. I can't remember which one this is but had a shrimp tempura base which I usually prefer a non fried roll. There were too many options to pick from and think I just picked something. Would go back if I were in the area again. The ramen also looked solid. read more

Delicious sushi and Japanese food with a Mexican twist! The couple who own this place are awesome-- come support a local business! To start, our table shared the yellowtail jalapeño and Hawaiian poke appetizers. Both were delicious! The yellowtail was the perfect amount of spicy and I loved the crunchy wonton chips with the tuna poke. We shared three sushi rolls for our main course-- the lime fusion, creamy scallop, and escolar jalapeño. The lime fusion roll is a must try. The lime zest topping the roll makes the freshness of the fish pop. All three rolls were flavorful and I'd order everything we tried again. I also had a guava margarita. I loved the tajin rim and large portion on this. They have cute outdoor seating in the summer and a fun indoor area for when the weather isn't as nice. Service here is good and it's obvious that the owners truly care and are passionate about their food. read more

DELICIOUS! can't recommend enough - everything we had was phenomenal, but favorite was the passionfruit margarita & rumba sushi roll!

The food and the service at Tsukiji is amazing. Some of the best sushi we've had in Chicago. Also a great price point for the quality and quantity of food you get here. We consider Tsukiji to be one of our neighborhood gems and would highly recommend you have dinner here if you're in the area. read more

Found this place on open table and booked a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday based on the reviews. Such a cute lowkey place for date night. Safe to say we loved it here. I personally don't like sushi but loved that they had vegetarian options. I had the mangonada roll & the avocado and both were delicious. My boyfriend had a crazy roll & the Chicago fire roll and loved both. We also shared the combo tempura platter & the chile relleno which was our FAVORITE. For drinks I had a passion fruit margarita which was perfect not too sweet not too strong & they make their syrups homemade! My boyfriend had a hibiscus whiskey sour & guava and loved both flavors. Jesse & her husband are the sweetest and made us feel so welcomed. This is definitely our new date night spot. read more

Absolutely amazing sushi experience! The sushi here was incredible - super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can tell the chefs put a lot of care into every detail. The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. They even surprised us with a complimentary shot of sake! A Everything from the ambiance to the service was perfect. Definitely one of the best sushi spots l've been to, and I'Il 100% be coming back! read more

Delicious food and margaritas. I recommend the creamy scallop and jalapeño tuna roll. The lobster wontons were juicy too. I will come back.

My best friend I popped in for a quick dinner after a long work week. I took a rideshare but I believe there is paid street parking. Once inside and seated, the restaurant is moderately loud and dimly lit. Lots of low lamp lighting; pretty cozy. It would be perfect for a date night! We started with some margaritas and appetizers. We LOVED the margaritas, they were fresh, they have different fruit flavors to choose from and you can get sugar or salt rim. For apps, we had the *Hawaiian Ahi Poke, and *Lobster Wontons. We loved the poke and disliked the wontons. We ordered the wontons knowing they are a customer favorite but the ingredients inside weren't cohesive so we sent them back. For dinner, I had the *Crazy Roll and my best friend had the *Kara Miso Ramen. For the ramen, we removed all of the meat and instead ordered a side of chicken. WOW The sushi was fresh and delicious. I wish I had more room in my belly to order another roll. LISTEN UP! The ramen is absolutely PHENOMENAL!! Perfectly flavored and no need to add soy sauce. The chicken was seasoned and fried to perfection! Service was fairly paced and our server was friendly and attentive. I can't wait to visit this restaurant again. read more

Tsukiji Sushi Sake Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had heard good things about Tsukiji so I was excited to try. The service was friendly although very dismissive to our concerns and the interior was clean and nicely decorated , and unfortunately I was disappointed overall. I ordered the Matsu Sashimi which was $36 for 9 slices of sushi, which is expensive for the value in and of itself. It came with miso soup and a bowl of rice. Even though we came with a party of 5 people, and the receipt indicated that a 20% gratuity was charged for parties 6+, we were still each charged the 20% fee and they would not remove it even after I asked. The ginger it came with tasted a little milduey/sour in a way that it shouldn't have. The miso soup was definitely overly salted. My friends ordered two salmon avocado rolls, and you could clearly see that one of the rolls had significantly more salmon while the other had a lot more rice. This was disappointing. We notified the server and he just told us he'd let the chef know but we never heard back. The fish was of okay quality, I definitely think there is better elsewhere. I definitely wouldn't come again, I think there are much better sushi places in the area with much better value. read more

Cool vibe with Latin music, dim lights, and fun decor. The sushi and margaritas were amazing--no complaints about the food at all. But service was really slow. Even with a 6:30 reservation, it took an hour to place our food order and another hour to get it. Great spot for the food, just be ready to wait. read more

Tsukiji Sushi Sake Bar - spicy *Edamame *Miso Soup tamarind and jamaica margarita - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tsukiji Sushi Sake Bar is a must-visit. The ramen is absolutely delicious, packed with rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles.Their sushi rolls are to die for, with incredibly fresh ingredients and creative combinations. For example I loved the Tokio it is a Deep fried roll with extra crispy shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese, scallions and spicy sauce, the tropical roll it has Fried plantain, cream cheese, avocado, kanikama, choice of fresh salmon or shrimp tempura topped with unagi sauce and spicy mayo.Lets talk about the margaritas I promise you these are some of the best I've ever had-balanced, refreshing, and expertly made. The service is another standout, with both the owners and staff providing top-notch hospitality that makes you feel welcome. They also have a mixture of music catering to the atmosphere. So if you're in the mood for sushi, ramen, or just great drinks, this place delivers 10/10 . It's one of my go to spots whenever I'm in town thank me later read more

Very cute date night place. The decor is nice minus the star war and Ken Jeong portraits. They are nice but definitely was trying to figure out the connection. Jesse(owner) was very nice and has great recommendations, of course she didn't let us know she was the owner until we were finished.We had margaritas and a whiskey sour. I personally felt the hibiscus margarita had too much syrup in it, but the whiskey sour was definitely a win. We had the spicy edamame, lobster wontons, and karaage chicken as appetizers. They had a special sushi roll with guacamole. Definitely recommend all of them. The chicken has great flavor and just the right crisp. We ordered the beef udon and my friend had the marisco ramen but with the original miso. U can make any of the misos spicy or mild. I personally like the flavor of the original miso. It has the right amount of spice and seasoning. The beef udon was ok. I got it spicy. The beef was very tough. Although it was ribeye I just think a different cut of meat would've been better and came out tender. Overall, enjoyed the experience and food. read more

My friend and I had dinner here on a weeknight after work. It was definitely buzzing. The music was such a vibe. A lot of Spanish songs. Service was a bit slow but they were nice nonetheless. We started with the fried calamari. It was so delicious. I got the crunchy drago and my friend went with the guacamole fusion. She had some margaritas and really enjoyed them! We were still hungry so we shared the spicy fusion. Once again service was slow so we were there forever. Good sushi though read more

Scintillating food that will make you go back for more. Tsukiji is the newest addition to the sushi world of Chicago and it has come with a BANG!! Absolutely LOVED IT!! Before talking about the food I need to tell you all about the AMAZING service. The owner and all the staff are so friendly and personable. Such a friendly vibe. Everyone is smiling and so welcoming. The owner Jesse made great recommendations and checked on us often. I like that they have tv monitors , so you can watch a game while dining . About the food, everything we tried was incredible. The Japanese Latin fusion is fantastic. I really liked the unique take and loved the flavor fest in my mouth with each bite. We started with the spicy edamame, miso soup, and lobster wontons. Make sure you ask for the spicy edamame and spicy miso soup. All three apps were excellent and got me ready for the main course. From their signature plates we tried the Guacamole Fusion, Tuna Jalapeño, and Spicy Fusion. OMG OMG they were delicious, we were so full but couldn't stop eating. They have a Fun to Eat section on their menu, and we tried the Ikebukuro that was recommended by the owner. This is a must order. Words can't describe how good it was. We also ordered the Shioyaki Entree (Saba fish). The broiled Saba fish was a 10/10. First time tried Saba fish. It was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Must must try for a seafood lover. Overall a wonderful dining experience. Don't forget to ask for fresh wasabi. You can thank me later. Highly Recommend. read more

The food was delicious , we ordered Lobster wontons, Tokio spicy sushi and Mario's Ramen with scallop and Shrimp. My only complaint was the wait time. We waited 4-5 min before being acknowledged once we enter the establishment, the host/ server which I later learned was one of the owners took my daughter and I to our seats and the ordered was placed at 8:15 pm. The food didn't not come out until a few minutes after 9:00pm. I am not sure if they were short staffed or what but that portion was a bit disappointing. Overall I would rate this an 8 out of 10. read more

We started off on a high note - we sat for a while without being acknowledged but the waitress apologized and provided a comped edamame, which was a nice gesture. We ordered the guava and the tamarind margaritas which were huge and delicious. Great flavors but I don't think very strong. $14 each. For rolls we ordered the Haru, the Spicy Fusion, and the Tuna Fusion ( I think it was called). My haru was subpar... just nothing special, my husband said the same about his tuna roll. After sitting for over half an hour without our third roll, we finally asked about it and she brought it right away but a bit ridiculous. I didn't want to eat too much of my current roll bc I was looking forward to it so we kinda just sat... When it came, it was the tastiest of the bunch. I'd say 7.5/10 on that one. We also got the chicken bites which were decent. Nice, light breading. We wanted a little more flavor or spice in the sauce but that may be personal preference. Overall, the waitress was very nice and apologetic but the level of sushi for $20 per roll, we wouldn't come back. read more

I've been wanting to try this sushi spot for awhile now as I've been seeing it pop up on Instagram a bunch... and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! This is a small family owned restaurant, and we were able to meet the owners Jessie & Sam, and they were so nice. I got the mango margarita, which I was told on the sweeter side compared to the other flavors, but I like sweet anyways. But it was probably one of my favorite margaritas I've ever had! Then we got the lobster wontons to start off, the filling was creamy and delicious. After that, we shared the Lime Fusion roll, Chicago Blackhawks roll, and Fat Buddha roll. The lime fusion did have a bit of a kick, but that was probably because of the spicy tuna. I think out of the 3, the Chicago Blackhawks one was my favorite because it had crispy bacon and the flavors just meshed together so well. The service was a little on the slower side, but we weren't really in a rush. Can't wait to be back again! read more
