Went here a few times for lunch and they had a delicious selection of sushi with rolls and various nigiri! It was really yummy and you can choose what you want to try and pay by weight! I loved all the salmon sushi ones personally.
Getting a variety of different sushi rolls gives me chance to try more than one type. All of the pieces had its unique flavor and taste to it. It's priced by weight so you can grab as much as you want and they'll weigh it for you. They also had those viral push pop rolls but I didn't get it this time. Would come back again!
I had been wanting to try this push sushi place for a while. I went during lunch, and the restaurant was quite busy. I ordered the Flaming Hot Cheetos California Roll. Ordering on the kiosk was quick and seamless. Since it was marked as the bestseller, that's what I went with. The sushi was good, but more than the taste, I enjoyed the overall experience and the logistics of it. The flavor was comparable to a good store-bought sushi. The Flaming Hot Cheetos did add a nice kick, though my stomach wasn't too happy about it! I'm tempted to go back and try their regular sushi as well, which looked absolutely delicious.
Wow, I was so excited to see this concept pop up in Chicago. I had been to a similar place in Seattle and it was good. Okay, so there are pros and cons to this concept: the one obvious one is that you don't know how long it's been sitting out. Also the rolls don't have descriptions. However, when I went everything was pretty fresh. I enjoyed my experience. There was a cashier available to help answer questions about the rolls. He also got me miso soup, which was steaming hot. The rice ratio was perfect as well. I was able to snag a seat at the counter, but I could only imagine if it were busy, you'd have to find somewhere else to eat. Not a big deal in the summer but in the winter and freezing temps, it's not convenient. Pretty easy experience just grab the tongs and a tray and choose whatever you want. Will definitely be coming back! Also, there's another place in Chicago w a similar concept, this one trumps that place by farrr.
VERY expensive. $17+ for one roll especially when there are other restaurants that exist where you can get AYCE sushi for $25. You are definitely paying for the novelty of the "push Pop" served sushi. It is such a fun and unique package and presentation. The sushi by weight was ok. The sushi appeared fresh and was convenient. Staff were friendly. There is very limited seating which made patrons very aggressive about getting a seat. There was a bar top along the window and maybe 10 high stools.
I really love the concept of sushi by weight. It's perfect for a quick lunch when you don't want to commit to a full sit-down meal. My husband and I each grabbed a small tray of sushi, and it came out to about $30 total, which felt very reasonably priced for what we got. They offer a good selection of cooked and raw rolls and nigiri, which I appreciated, and there's counter seating if you want to eat there. Since we spent over $15, we were supposed to get a free miso soup, but we had to ask for it. The cashier seemed a bit lost and didn't automatically offer it. As for the sushi itself, the fish was okay, which feels fair given this is basically a fast-food sushi spot. I did notice a slightly fishy aftertaste, though. The nigiri had way too much rice, but I just cut off about half of it and that helped. Also worth noting, the wasabi paste is super intense, so use sparingly.
Lots of sushi in a self serve, ala carte option for sushi. Fast, reasonably priced. We shared about 15 different types of sushi, all very tasty. Can't decide what you want? Get one of everything. They also do push pops. Very casual dining, counter style eat in available. Grab it, eat and go. Do it. No public bathroom which is nuts to me... I want to wash my hands before I eat, not an option here without imposing on a neighboring business. Bring wipes or hand sanitizer I guess, then enjoy the food.
Cute little place. Not too much seating but they also have to go containers. Great place to get sushi quick and try lots of things. Nice variety. You grab a container/tray and a pair of tongs and get what you want. You pay by the weight and I had a full tray and was able to try so many things for a reasonable price. Friendly service.
I was super surprised about this place. I've never been to this kind of set up. They a bunch or rolls out for you to pick from and take what you like on your plate. Or you can pick a full roll and they put it in a fun push up . The service was cool. They only have a couple seats inside.
My 2nd time here and I enjoyed it more then the first time. The sushi was fresh as we came right after opening. We had the push sushi this time and really liked it. I'd be back more often but no longer work in the area.
If you are craving for suishi and something quick, this is the place! Self-serve and pay by weight. Good selections of rolls and a smaller selection of nigiri, but all the basic kinds are available. In case you don't see what you want, just ask (I asked about unagi nigiri and they made a fresh tray). Inside the place, it has about 10 along-the-window bar seats. Cups of water is available for free. It is a clean, simple atmosphere! I will definitely be back!
Visited here to try the new push sushi . It was really good. Tried the hot Cheeto one. I was able to dine inside. They have a great assortment of complimentary sauces and ginger slices. Service was great, and the ambiance was good too.
Can you guess the weight? No, silly, not my weight. The weight of my sushi. Have you heard of Umi Sushi? Umi Sushi Chicago just opened a new location in chicago two months ago at 60 E Jackson Blvd. Here the sushi is priced by the weight. You mix and match your sushi, take as little or as much as you please. There's a lot to choose from, something for everyone! The sushi is constantly being restocked so it's always fresh and delicious. Umi Sushi is open Monday thru Saturday from 10:30 am to8 pm and Sundays 11 am to 7 pm.

I always like the concept of getting sushi and paying for the weight since I'm definitely the kind of person who likes to sample many options. This place definitely satisfied that desire--I quite enjoyed getting to get one piece from a variety of rolls to sample them; the experience itself was fun. However, I think the sushi itself was pretty bad. You can tell that the rolls had been sitting out for unknown periods of time since they definitely varied in their level of freshness. The components were also not well done: there was way too much sauce, the sushi rice was mushy, and the fish was honestly pretty fishy. The service and environment are pretty forgettable. Overall, it's fun to try once, but it's definitely not a spot I will be returning to. read more

Wanting something healthier in the area but fast, I saw this sushi place and thought to give it a go. Basically it's like a sushi buffet where you pick the pieces that you want, put them in your container, and then you pay based on the weight of what you've put into your container. It can be a really reasonable meal if you don't go crazy I think my total was like 11 bucks and I probably got six or seven rolls. I will say that the sushi wasn't exceptionally fresh compared to a made to order sushi bar. Basically it's because they don't make it when you order it. They make it and then they put it out. It was still very good, but as someone who eats a lot of sushi I could tell. So if you're a sushi snob, this is not your place. But I was happy with what it was and I would definitely come back. read more

Cute concept. Funky interior. Amazing sushi. Those are three phrases that describe Umi Sushi. When I heard a new, pick your own sushi spot opened I knew I wanted to try it. And boy did it deliver. The price is based on the weight. I paid $8 for mine. There is a good selection - both raw and cooked. The flavors from what I picked were all so tasty. They have free sauces, one of which was a spicy mayo, that was just amazing. This may be my new go-to spot when I am craving some sushi! I highly recommend it. read more
Found the perfect spot to satisfy your sushi cravings! Umi Sushi Chicago is located at 60 E Jackson Boulevard Whether you want a light lunch, or a full dinner, here you don't have to worry about leftovers. You buy by the weight. If you didn't have enough you can go back and buy a few more ounces. The selection is so large it's impossible to try everything on the first trip, even if you try to, and believe me, I did! This way, you also get to choose a variety of sushi. Don't let this no-frills self serve minimalistically decorated location fool you, their sushi packs a ton of flavor in each bite. read more

Fellow sushi lovers will know to struggle: you look at the menu and you want to try one of everything. But there are only so many pieces you can eat, so you settle on two or three if you're particularly hungry. Umi Sushi makes it so that you no longer have to choose! You take any pieces you want and pay by weight. To say I love this concept would be a gross understatement. I have come back again and again. Further, as they are in their soft opening, I can't wait to see what is in store as they iron out the kinks. For good: they have a fair selection of both raw and cooked options, the quality of the fish and rice is great, and the prices are reasonable given the area and product. I found the service to be friendly also. For improvement, it would help to include descriptions rather than just names - "T-Rex Roll" sounds fun, but what's in it? While customers can ask, this slows things down during a busy lunch rush. Additionally, many pieces rely heavily on crab sticks, which I find to be a lower-quality ingredient that detracts from the overall experience. Though that's partly my personal preference. Lastly, some pieces tended to fall apart too easily. All of this said, while Umi Sushi is not a destination in my opinion, it is perfect for a weekday lunch! It's healthier, you're able to get as much or as little as you want, and because of the self-service nature, the line can move a lot faster than a place that has to cook/assemble your food. read more
Oh wow, such a great place to get sushi craving Satisfied with the weight by pound charge. It is within walking distant to the Palmer hotel that i stayed at therefore i decided to give this place a try. It did not disappoint. I like salmon so i got most of their salmon . The quality is fresh. The process is quick. There was some seating for dine in experience. read more

An innovative concept to get your sushi! Perfect for those working in the loop looking to grab a quick bite during lunch or after work. They frequently restock the sushi offerings, so the selection is always expansive. I was impressed with the different offerings, from specialty rolls to classic rolls to nigiri. I did notice that the rolls with cucumber tend to have a lot of cucumber if that's something you're not into. I loved the nigiri and the amazing roll. The read ocean roll was also good. Plus, they have eel sauce at the sauce station which was such a nice treat. There was a row of seats lining the window, so you can grab a seat if you'd like. We went shortly after opening, so we received 15% off, but I still feel like it was reasonably priced. I paid around $15 for my spread. read more

So definitely love the concept of sushi by weight. It's perfect for if you want a variety of different flavors without having to purchase a full roll. They have sushi that's cooked and not cooked and sashimi to choose from. If you get there when it's busy it's perfect because the rolls come out quickly and isn't sitting on the plate long. I came during a particulary slow time so there were a couple of empty plates..and less selection. Overall it was really good sushi and the price and flavor beat out grocery store sushi by a long shot! read more
Unique concept where you choose different types of sushi/rolls and pay by weight. My friend and I each picked up a tray and we were able to try a variety of different flavors. The fish is quite fresh and they had some unique rolls. The service is friendly and quick. The interior is clean. There are some spots if you choose to dine in, but we just brought it to go to picnic at Millenium Park. read more

This is a must go if you want quick and affordable sushi that is high quality. I was little skeptical with the rolls being premade when you arrive but I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Everything was super fresh, the rolls have a a lot of fish so they aren't skimping on quantity or quality. Honestly not sure how they make money cuz mine was only $13. I wish we had this concept near where I lived cuz I was literally go all the time read more

On a relatively short layover in downtown Chicago I was Jonesing for sushi. The idea of getting exactly what I wanted, bite by bite, and paying by weight intrigued me. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sushi from this self-serve buffet-style restaurant. The rules were sitting out and after grabbing a set of tongs and a container I was able to pick exactly how many pieces of exactly which type of sushi I wanted. One piece of this, three pieces of that... The gentleman behind the counter was cheerful and answered my questions. The seating options are slim with just a couple of stools along the window bar. I was delighted to have eaten until I was full (6 pieces) for less than $10! If you're craving melt in your mouth, mind blowing sushi, this is not your place. But if you're looking for a decent meal at a good price you should check it out. read more

Great concept , weigh and pay for your sushi. The quality of fish was surprisingly Good and the selection was Broad. Service was fine, helpful and smiles all around. Ambiance ... hmm a little lacking I guess. But it's More a take out place . read more
Place is more of 3.5 star but the .5 resides in the price. I don't know any place to get this much sushi at this price other than the grocery store oe gas station. Available eel or spicy sauce definitely helps the flavors a decent option however to name this amongst Chicago's best is a huge stretch. read more
Wow I was skeptical but the concept is actually pretty good..pick out your sushi and go.. the quality is good and the place is pretty clean. I think it's 15% off this week so I got my lunch for under $10 but 8pcs of mixed cooked and uncooked and nigiri's. Watch out for the wasabi oh my it really has a kick to it. read more

I know it is no way authentic sushi. However, with this price, the quality is on point and beyond expectation. Service is efficient and the place is small yet very clean. Highly recommended for a quick fix for oishi sushi on the go or a quick bite. read more

I come here once a week they're so good! This is a perfect place for college students and workers on the go, offering fast service, amazing prices, and great quality. I love that it is by weight and grab and go style. They offer good students discounts and it is always just so easy to get in and out. I am a student who works a lot so I don't often have time to get my lunch in between jobs. I love that I can always count on this being a quick and stomach fulfilling trip and not to mention it being right by the train station! read more

Such good sushi for a good price because it's priced by weight! I wished the rolls were labeled by what was in them because I had to ask so many questions to the worker. He was super helpful! Even gave my friend replacement when she dropped her whole tray on the ground! So yummy! read more

The sushis were great, high quality and budget-friendly! It was like I was at a sushi buffet except it was in a convenience store where I can quickly grab and go. The staff was nice and there are high tables facing outside so it's perfect for solo dine-out! Loved it overall! read more

lovedddd this sushi spot in the city. i like how u can pick whatever sushi u want then pay by weight :-) sooooo yummy i will def be back read more
Umi sushi is a really cool concept where you can weigh the sushi that you picked. I love to try it different rolls and it's hard if I'm going by myself so this is a great place to do so. The quality of the fresh is pretty good, but it's not going to be the best you've ever had. This is a good place to try new fish because you are not paying for the specific one. So I tried something new (squid) and I'm glad I tried it here because I am not a fan. It is a very small restaurant with only bar seating so I would plan on taking it to go. The staff was nice and continue to exchange the rolls when they were running low. I have now gone back twice and will probably go back again because it's so close to work. read more
