We got delivery. The sushi was all very well prepared and packaged. I try to keep it pretty basic when trying a sushi spot for the first time to assess the quality of the fish - got both a tuna roll and a salmon avocado roll. Both were good, the tuna especially. Also tried the tuna rainbow roll we ordered which was good. The spicy tuna on the inside actually had a bit of a kick which was definitely appreciated. I'd be happy to get it again! read more

Uni Sushi - really well packaged and prepared - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I placed an Order for a 7 piece Sushi Platter and an additional Sashimi Hamachi order (2 pieces). I am 70 Years Old. I was also a French Trained Chef for 14 Years! That's a LOT of Years in the Business! I have Opened several Restaurants! Today, I received my Order and the Hamachi tasted horrible! I called them to inform them that their Sushi Chef did not wash his Hands! I could taste things on my Raw Fish. I do have a very elaborate Pallet. I do! So, I called the Restaurant to inform them that they had a Problem. I told the Lady who Answered the Phone. She listened to me and said, "Do you want me to tell my Manager?" ha HELL YES! Also, the average Sushi Order may cost $60.00 to $70.00. Did she offer me any Compensation? I did not want or expect a Full Refund. How about $20.00 off of my Next Order? She did not Offer me that. The Customer is King. I opened Morton's in Westchester, Illinois. If we had a Customer Complaint, we immediately took care of that! I left my Kitchen once because we had a dissatisfied Table. The Waitress felt intimidated! So, I went over and bought the Table a Round of Cognac on us, the House! They were Happy after that. Did I get compensation for my Dissatisfaction today? NO! I did not. The Chef did not Wash his Hands and I could TASTE that on my Fish! --- Bob Madden - Chicago, Illinois read more

I've had this twice in the past month because it's conveniently close to home, prices aren't too bad for Chicago sushi and I've been pleasantly surprised with everything I've ordered. I go to is the eel Maki and the spicy shrimp Maki. But I also recently tried the octopus cucumber salad, which was also pretty good. I look forward to trying more rolls! Gyoza was also solid. read more

* UberEats delivery * What a wonderful late night sushi find. So fresh and tasty. Everything was packaged with care. They even included extra soy sauce. They skipped the chopsticks and napkins which was a bummer but we had those at home already. We will order from them again. read more

Uni Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Overall: A good takeout experience, but can be pricey. The good: Ordered online and pickup was a breeze. Easy to hop in and out with "parking" on the street, and a huge menu with lots to choose from. Friendly staff upon pickup, and everything was packaged well. The not-so-good: A little too expensive for the taste/quality. It's not bad, but the bill was larger than I thought it was going to be given the outcome. read more

I ordered delivery and was very happy with both the quick delivery and the high quality of the sushi. The ingredients in the California Maki and the Shrimp Tempura Maki were incredibly fresh and nicely rolled with large portions of all ingredients!!!! The rice was moist and the wrapping was. Top notch! I will definitely be ordering again in the near future. read more

I love this little neighborhood sushi spot. I've ordered from them once for take-out at the beginning of the pandemic but if could splurge on fresh sushi and sashimi more often, I'd splurge here! I ordered the sushi platter they had 7 pieces of nigiri (sliced raw fish over rice). I remember the fish being so fresh it had a hint of sweetness. It was the freshest fresh I've had in awhile. I also got a California roll and my subtotal hit the price point (I think $25?) where I could get a complimentary order of crab rangoon. Winning. When I picked up my order, they had tables that divided their dining room so that pick-up was sectioned off from their staff/kitchen. They gave me a bottle of their house-made sanitizer. At the time, I believe they were giving these away to all of their customers as a gift. I loved that soft touch, and it felt very neighborly. Upon reflection, it felt like a care package even though I was just picking up my order. To me, it was a "stay safe out there, I'm looking out for you" send off as I made my way home with my food, even though the only words I had exchanged in the restaurant were "pick up for Eva" and "thank you." read more

As an uni lover, I came in excited just based off the restaurant name but I left disappointed. For a place whose name has uni in the title, you'd expect that they'd give more than what they did. Ordered uni shooters that barely had any uni in it. The raw egg was bigger than the amount of uni they gave. The uni donburi had more rice and sides than uni in it. Felt ripped off to order items that were named uni just to barely get any in my food. Uni was more of a side compliment in those dishes rather than the main highlight. Uni is not cheap. But I feel like what I paid was not worth what I got especially when I came for uni, barely got any, but was still charged for high uni prices. I would rate it a one star but the service was good and polite which is why I added another star. Mainly because we were the only ones there. We did order other pieces of sushi. The salmon tasted the freshest out of it all. read more

As someone who rarely posts reviews, I felt so disrespected by the restaurant manager at Uni Sushi. Pretty much, I ordered two servings of the Negitoro roll - when I received the delivery, it appeared they mixed it up with negi hamachi roll (yellowtail). I called to let them know, since the negitoro is more expensive. Except the manager messaged me saying verbatim "anyone else will most definitely know the difference" between the negitoro and negi hamachi rolls. Unfortunately, after tasting it, my wife and I were certain it wasn't tuna, but rather, yellowtail, as it had the fishier taste to it. I wasn't mad they got the order wrong, but I definitely felt like the restaurant should've corrected their error. Instead, the pushback I got was inappropriate and not indicative of a good business. You do you, but I'll be avoiding Uni Sushi from now on. See posted photos and tell me the gray fish is "toro". read more

Crunchy spicy tuna is delicious, the service was great, and the prices are reasonable!

Crab Rangoon was pretty good, but definitely mostly cream cheese filling. I ordered 1 tuna nigiri and 1 salmon nigiri. They both looked really good, but unfortunately the freshness didn't follow. The tuna was okay but not very good, the salmon was inedible, mushy fish that I did not trust to even swallow my one bite. Lastly, I got pork belly ramen. I'm a big garlic fan, but the broth was super garlicky, but my real issue is with the pork. One of the pieces was completely raw. I was very lucky to not get food poisoning from this experience. read more

My experience here was above and beyond all my hopes and expectations for a well prepared and authentic poke bowl In fact I asked if miso soup was included and initially my friendly server told me that miso soup isn't included with poke bowl. Five minutes later she said the chef would be happy to prepare a miso soup for me and she asked me if I'd prefer it spicy or mild so I asked for the spicy version and she presented me with a very generous bowl of hot, spicy broth with scallions, mushrooms tofu and peppers which were savory and delicious. When my poke bowl trio came out I was super excited at the beautiful presentation and the vibrant colors of fresh cubes of fish fresh mango chunks, sushi rice, seaweed and edamame... The food here is absolutely fresh, flavorful and clean tasting and it's obvious to me the chef has a high skill set and understands how to prepare sushi and Japanese cuisine. I was also happily surprised to find thai iced tea on the beverage list and it's always been a favorite of mine. The staff here are extremely friendly and my dining experience was phenomenal. I will definitely be returning read more

Delish! Incredibly yummy and generous with the fish. Would certainly return and recommend.

I lost count how many times I have ordered from here lol. It's that good! I love sushi and whenever I'm not in the mood to cook I always turn to UberEats for Uni Sushi!!! They are consistent and the food is always fresh! The packaging is always good and I always end up satisfied! Never have been disappointed! read more

Uni Sushi - Spicy Salmon Maki & Bears Signature Maki - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My gluten free / food allergen friends, I would be cautious to eat here. Long story short, after many many confirmations about ingredients and being gluten free, almost the entire order wasn't. The chef wasnt able to provide a ton of details either. They add sauces to rolls that are outside of the description, so if you think you're safe, you might not be :( Things to watch for, sriracha, eel sauce, the labeled gluten free soy sauce.., anything labeled spicy, anything with oyster sauce (although it wont be mentioned on the menu) Based on the call with them, there wasnt a ton of allergy handling knowledge. Skip if you have strict food restrictions. OTHERWISE, If you dont have an allergy, sushi is great. Such a bummer :( Welp! Hope this can help a fellow GFer! read more

When my friends and I were looking to order some sushi before our New Year's Eve gathering kicked off, we had a hard time finding a place that was awesome and would deliver to us in Ukrainian Village. When we did see Uni would deliver, my friends had dined in house before so were a bit hesitant...apparently they were out of Uni when they went. Out of uni at Uni!? Seems preposterous! :P We went ahead with it though and ordered and it wasn't half bad. Sweet Potato Tempura Maki $6.95 - Well sized, well rolled, well battered decent roll. Salmon Avocado Maki $7.95 - Fresh fish, again well rolled (all their rolls were), liked this one! Bears Signature Maki $12.95 - This roll was my favorite of the bunch with salmon, spicy salmon, tempura crunchy, avocado and crunchy sweet potato! Yaaaas. Loved it and would definitely order this again. Prices weren't bad, sushi makis were tasty and delivery was nearly on time which is great for New Year's Eve! I wouldn't pass trying to dine in the actual restaurant. read more

What's good about Uni Sushi? The neighborhood is saturated with sushi places so you have options, but I think Uni is worth giving a try. 1) Quick delivery and a nice dine in experience 2) Large menus so you could even invite your friends who don't prefer sushi and there will be something for everyone including Poke bowls, fried rice, ramen and more! 3) The food is good, fresh, and I've eaten here several times without any disappointment. 4) The prices are aligned with the area, not cheap but not expensive either. 5) Friendly staff - goes without saying that is always a major plus! 6) They have a lot of specialty rolls so if you go try to order something different each time. :) Enjoy, I will be there from time to time! ;) yum read more

Uni is a testament to the quality of food in my neighborhood. The food I tried here for dinner two weeks ago was good, above average for sure, in confines that I like with prices that are fair. We had the tempura (Mori Awase) and the Bears roll, both of which were great. Throwing in a can of Coke is only a buck, so for our small snack we got out for about $25. The problem here isn't Uni, it's that I have too many choices. I think Kai Zan is the best sushi spot (best Japanese restaurant, really) in Chicago, but we do a lot of time at Yuzu on Chicago, and Arami is a well-established strength in this zip code too. I don't think Uni compares to those, but if I lived on North Avenue closer to Uni? I'd be there all the time. Tasty. I'm not sure I'll be back given my choices, though. read more

If you are looking for a local place with decent sushi, Uni Sushi is a great choice. It is reasonably priced and the fish is pretty good. The platter and rolls I had were fine, but nothing amazing. The flavors kind of combined instead of enhancing each other. If you don't love a fishy taste, this might be a great place for you. The rolls are decent size for the price, so it is a good deal! read more

Uni Sushi - 6 Maki Rolls. Delivery. - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This review may be a little biased because they RAN OUT OF UNI on the day that I went... seriously, how can you run out of Uni when your restaurant is called Uni Sushi...?! I made a trip from Evanston all the way to Wicker Park for nothing -___- Instead, we ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll (free with Yelp deal), Kalbi Robata (average), Bacon Wrapped Scallop Robata (probably my favorite), Chirashi (also average), Pork Belly Ramen (just okay, not as good as the tonkatsu ramen at Wasabi). While nothing was necessarily bad, nothing was amazing either. I definitely recommend that you call the restaurant beforehand to ask if they have Uni, because nothing else on the menu is worth making a special trip for. To be fair, I'll update my review after I've returned to the restaurant to try the Uni. read more

Love this place definitely the best Sushi is the area and there's a ton to choose from.

As someone having lived in Boston for quite some years, I've been longing for some uni for a long time. When I found some place on Yelp, I couldn't describe in words the excitement I had. When it comes to uni, the three most important criteria are FRESH, FRESH, and FRESH. The uni here was clearly very fresh, and was largely intact. That sweet, creamy, and slightly briny ocean taste was exactly how I remembered it. But here comes the cons... My boyfriend and I both ordered the uni don. The uni itself was spectacular and right on point. But some of the salmon roe were not very fresh, with that unpleasant fishy aftertaste, to the extent where it almost ruined my dining experience. The avocado on the side was not properly ripened. It lost that creamy texture. It was firm, while tasting raw and a bit bitter. To make things worse, the seasoned rice on the bottom didn't have the correct combination of seasoning. And I would assume that those rice had been leaving out for a long time. They were ice cold, tough, and clumpy, which were never good things when it came to rice. I would give 10 stars to the uni itself. And for the sides? Negative 6 stars... If you are coming for the uni, I would recommend you just try the uni shooter or uni a la carte. That's the best way to enjoy the uni anyways. read more

A Japanese restaurant that serves up a delicious crab rangoon?! A restaurant that delivers food at perfect temperature (both hot and cold) in under 45 minutes on a Friday night?! Delicious fresh tasting raw fish, and perfectly cooked (lightly breaded thank goodness) tempura'd veggies and seafood?! A spicy miso soup, clearly homemade and served with seaweed and fresh whole Japanese mushrooms?! Everything slightly expensive?? Yes! read more

Uni Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I order through Eat24. Uni offers great coupons on the app, especially for a free signature roll ($14 value!) with a $41 purchase. I'm not a big fan of fried stuff or sticky sweet unagi sauce in my maki, so I opt for the Hawks roll. Very tasty! The nigiri is fresh and uni portion generous. Maybe that's why they're called Uni... Considering it was delivered, I was impressed with the presentation. The robata items were cold and all soaked in the sauce from one particular item. I think if it was separated and wrapped in tin foil, it would have arrived in better condition. Maybe something to request in the future. Uni is on par with other Wicker Park casual sushi spots like Coast or Runa. I definitely recommend! read more

Uni Sushi - Hawks signature roll with assorted nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm surprised that this is my first time dining here. I stopped by Uni Sushi for dinner with a friend over the weekend. I made a reservation just in case, but the restaurant was actually pretty empty when we got there. I did notice that there were a ton of orders that were prepared for delivery, however. My friend and I ordered the Uni Don, Crunchy Spicy Salmon Maki, Crunchy Spicy Tuna Maki, and Unagi Avocado Maki to share. The presentation of the Uni Don was beautiful. This was not the best uni I have had in my life, but the uni was pretty decent tasting and there was a sizable amount in the dish. Both of the Crunchy Spicy Maki rolls we ordered were pretty tasty (the salmon and the tuna). I liked the crunchy exterior and the sauces that were added. The Unagi Avocado Maki was pretty standard. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. I preferred the Crunchy Spicy Maki rolls we ordered over the Unagi Avocadi Maki. Overall, I was pleased with the amount and quality of food we received for the price we paid. I will probably be back in the future whenever I am craving quality sushi at an affordable price. read more

Great food, good flavors, great service. I had the Fire Maki roll, Spicy Tuna roll and California Roll. There was a mix up with my order, but the roll they gave me tasted good, so I ate it anyway.

Uni Sushi - The Spicy Tuna Rainbow Maki and Salmon Avocado Maki with Seaweed and Cucumber Salad - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Visiting from out of town and decided to walk around to find a local spot. Found this hole in the wall and was so happy I did. My boyfriend and I got 3 rolls, miso soup, and the best seaweed salad (they include thin cucumber slices that were so fresh and just added great texture). It was $45 for all items which I thought was very fair pricing. Our server was friendly and informed us that while they do not serve sake, it is BYOB. Good to know! Quaint atmosphere. So happy I discovered this gem and thinking about going back prior to leaving town read more

I was super disappointed in this place. Came here by myself since I was in the mood for sushi. Place was empty and every time I come psst this place its always empty. But despite my gut instinct I decided to give this place a try. When I came in no one greeted me or sat me. It took a good while and an eerie glare to get their attention so i could be helped. The waiter did not explain the menu at all or make suggestions, he just set it down and walked away. Having no clue I opted for the traditional godzilla roll. My food came out shortly. Presentation was nicely decorated. But taste wise was not what I expected. This has to be one of the saltiest and blandest rolls. I was super disappointed. For $14 I expected so much more. Taste and customer service were an epic fail. I will not be coming here again. read more

Uni Sushi - Godzilla roll. Looks good but doesn't taste as good as it looks. - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Interior: Love the wooden walls (could be a good background photo for portraits, you just need more focused lights) and the area is somewhat spacious so thats good. Perfect place for a romantic night or dates cause its quite dim and to add a little cherry on top, they put on real candle lights (not battery candles). There is a sushi bar at the end if you are interested in watching them create sushi. In addition, they got nice black booth chairs on one side if you don't feel like sitting on a simple wooden chair. In addition, even though they have one all gendered restroom, it's an extra bonus for cleanliness! Food: In their menu, they got Japanese and Thai food so that's already a great variety. We got their seaweed salad, octopus robata, pad thai, and pork belly ramen. Let me start of with the seaweed salad, it's fresh (you can tell by the color, crisp and crunchiness). Seaweed salad is actually my favorite whenever I go to sushi places. In addition they add slices of cucumbers underneathe which is great because I love to crunch. As for octopus robata, its saucy and sweet. It's beautifully put together and its chewy but not too chewy to the point you're having a hard time biting it off. For the pad thai, they gave A LOT so I'm happy for the portions for a good price. My favorite go to is the ramen! Ive had their ramen before and yesterday was my second time getting another one. Their noodles are springy (google it if you don't know what I mean) and they have 2 mini quail eggs that burst inside your mouth! In addition, there is a good amount of broth in the big bowl of ramen. Last but not the least (my favorite part of the ramen), the pork belly! Oh my, I don't know how they make their pork belly but it is perfectly balanced fat and meat. I don't know how they marinated the meat or however they seasoned it but man! It is absolutely delish! Service: I noticed that they do get A LOT of take outs there and not enough dining in. I think the workers there are quite nice and polite. Extra bonus to the cook who made the dishes so pleasing to look at. Great for photos! read more
