Stick to sushi!! Take the wings off your menu until you have celery, can offer Blue cheese and your wings grow to a normal size. They all were smaller than my thumb!! Almost laughable. Staff was awesome however. I will be back because of the staff and ambiance but NOT for the wings ! read more

This may be enticing especially the location is so ideal and in between two terminal areas in Chicago airport, but by all means SKIP this! It wasn't even mediocre, it was terrible! I ordered edamame, which came out cold, oversalted and so bland, followed by the miso soup, it was literally plain miso with 4 pieces of tiny cubed tofu, the size of a nail with scallion slices. I also ordered the Rainbow roll, which I could not even finish because it had this weird red sauce underneath that made the sushi taste so funky. And to top it off, the service was horrible! I asked three times who can take my order, and each of the wait staff pointed at each other. Then at least 5 minutes pass, I ask again, then someone else said order online. Which one is it? I literally saw the wait staff taking the order of the person next to me, so this was clearly inaccurate. Overall, do not let the location and sushi entice you to eat here, keep walking to your terminal! You will find better places! read more

Wicker Park - This place is filthy and the food is awful - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love sushi and I love this spot between terminals where 30 years ago lived an awesome oyster bar. What could possibly go wrong? The safest thing to order at a fast-food sushi place is a heavily spiced roll. So I ordered the most expensive fresh nigiri. Actually it was ok, not great. But I'll tell you-- for $24 the fresh tuna is not supposed to be brown around the edges. Tasted ok but I'll update later if the runs start an hour from now at 35,000 feet. Overall not bad but don't go out of your way. And stick to the rolls. read more

It's not bad for airport food. It's a bit expensive and by no means close to being the best sushi I have had. Similar to what you would get a at a quick, casual sushi place. It wasn't awful though, and satisfied my cravings. I was decently full after a full roll, soup and four pieces of nigiri. My bill came to $60 USD after tip and tax. read more

A great find in Ohare. This is hidden at the end of the terminal and thankfully isn't so busy. You have to like sushi and similar foods, but that was good for me. Service was initially a little clunky, but once my order was taken, food came quickly and tasted great. I had miso soup and veggie sushi. If you're looking for a sit down place that isn't busy and you can handle sushi-ish foods, hear for this place. read more

The absolute worst. Sushi was decent. Nothing special but nothing bad. The manage meant was a lazy, dull, lifeless dude doing inventory with no care in the world about helping the server. Now that brings me to the server... What a gem. Not! They close at 7pm. It was 6:04 when I walked up. She took 10 mins or more to even acknowledge and that was to tell me she would be back. No hello. Comes back after we start looking frustrated and says: we are about to close. Leaves to get us a drink. Comes back 10 more minutes. Meanwhile rudely telling everyone that walks up that they are "about to" close. An hour from closing is not ABOUT TO CLOSE. She proceeds to tell us, when we had to flag down the busser for chopsticks/napkin/water... that "all of you people that show up at closing time get the worst service!" Haha. And laughs. Then we watch her mess up orders, ignore people, and continue to discourage people from sitting down because now at 25 after, they are really "ABOUT TO" close. What a waste of time. If you see this server you may want to keep walking. She is truly infuriating and tactless. Definitely new to service business. :( read more

Wicker Park - The WORST service graces and has no idea what she is doing. Food meh. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Usually at an airport, I default to fast food restaurants as all of the other restaurants are overpriced and or not good. This place is no exception. We got one sushi and an udon. The sushi was the Spanish Dynamite which costed a whopping $17. The sushi was good, but wasn't great. The udon was the most reasonably priced item on the menu. After ordering, the server came back 10 minutes later to tell us that they weren't making it anymore. After the sushi came out, they magically came out with the udon. It was cool that they split the udon into two separate bowls for us to share. The server was pretty decent. She was able to answer any questions I had. She was able to get us the udon we ordered and went out of her way to have it split for us which is a plus in my book. The hostess is ehh. We were ignored for the most part and ended up seating someone else behind us first. Probably should have just left then. I do not recommend this place for food as it is definitely overpriced airport food. There are plenty of other better options around the airport at a more reasonable price. read more

We had three hours to kill at O'Hare and so we decided to try to figure out what the best dining option there was. Turns out, it's not Wicker Park. Don't get me wrong... it was fine. We still managed to spend more than $100 on sushi. But it wasn't amazing and that's the type of spend I generally associate with a really good sushi dinner. So let's see. Wicker Park is a pretty slick looking restaurant, kind of right in the middle of one of the key junctures between terminals with a cool neon and blue look to it that invites you in. We were seated along the back side of the sushi bar, next to a window where we could look out at some planes coming and going from the gate. That sounds like a great spot except that we were at a table with two very big oversized chairs (great) and one tiny too-short end table between us. It made eating sushi a bit difficult and was honestly pretty awkward. Our waitress was a very nice lady but she just was not a great waitress. She took eons to do anything, including coming over to greet us initially. She actually suggested she put our drinks on the bar when we ran out of space on our midget size table. But she did get the job done and we weren't in a hurry. But if we had been, I probably would have lost my mind. Beer wise, not impressive. I think I ordered a Stella, so yeah. Food wise, it was fine. We had to stare at the menu quite awhile because there weren't a lot of rolls that were even appealing to us. The best thing we got was the Hawaiian roll. They did honor my request to make it with seaweed (I hate soy paper rolls). It was tasty and unique. We also got a salmon avocado (you have to ask to add the avo), tuna avocado and a couple of other things but none of which were particularly memorable. I was not impressed with the selection offered for nigiri and really only felt like the Hawaiian roll was worth the big spend on a specialty roll (fortunately, that one was worth the money). So certainly, this would be a better option than random greasy airport food. But I also don't think this ranks in terms of the best sushi places I've eaten, but the prices were on par with our favorite sushi places here at home for a lot less bang. I might still stop at Wicker Park again if I'm hanging at O'Hare in the future. But I might also keep on walking to find another option or just go get some Garrett's. read more

It was over priced and although the sign outside said full menu, the menu only had sushi rolls and appetizers for the most part. The waiting time was also very long which was a problem with customers as they are connecting to other flights read more

For a sushi place smack in the middle of the terminal area, it wasn't too bad. Can be crowded at times with people coming in and out and navigating their luggage. I sat at the counter right in front of my gate, which was nice. Got a couple of rolls for $9 per roll. A little steep, but they have a captive audience. Service a bit slow, but to be expected. read more

For an airport spot it's not bad. It's more upscale than most in the Chicago airport, which is really nice to have as an option. I was able to have a glass of Prosecco with my meal, which was great. The service was pretty good and the staff was nice. Getting down to the food, the food was okay. The miso soup needed like flavor, it was just really plain and boring. However, it came out really hot and I could really appreciate that because it was really crowded and it could've easily not have. Moving on to the oysters they didn't feel that fresh and just weren't that great. I love oysters but you could taste that these just weren't great quality. Overall, it's great place to grab a drink before your flight. read more

It is always nice when you find a sushi restaurant at an airport Wicker Park is between terminals B and E,F in the United terminal. It's not going to be your favorite Sushi restaurants but good enough to satisfy The place is open concept and you can seat at a table or the large bar The menu is decent with their offerings The sake list and other drink list is not bad I ordered the edamame which was cooked well and lightly salted. Pretty good I ordered yellow tail, salmon and maguro sashimi. They were okay. The fish seemed to be lacking taste due to being frozen I think. So that's when you load up on wasabi and soy sauce and dunk The yellow tail California roll was pretty good The warm sake was tasty on a freezing evening A worthwhile stop for sushi before you head onto the plane read more

This is literally the best sushi I've eaten at the airport. And unlike other airport food joints they have enough seating space and keep the queue moving pretty quick. I've been here twice and both times I was able to get a seat, seat and leave within 45 minutes- that's generally the amount of time I'll have handy while eating at the airport All their rolls are really good- my personal favorite was spicy dynamite roll. They have a night roll that's good too. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their rolls or sashimis. Also have good sake options and some cocktails/wines if you don't want to do sake. read more

Looking for a nice place for dinner at the airport. I got a bento box... tempura shrimp, 3pc nigiri, California roll, salad, and miso soup. The tempura should have been they star... but it was dry and chewy... with a doughy taste. The supporting characters were good enough. Really a 2.5 star rating. read more

Wicker Park - Tempura shrimp. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

1. Knives highly restricted at the airport. If you look, all the knives are chained to the station. So... all the sushi you have is pre cut at a commissary facility far away. 2. There's a lot of restrictions for sushi in Chicago, for sanitation etc. so airport sushi may be not the optimum meal. That being said, don't do it. We ordered the bulgogi bowl (beef, rice and veg) and add an egg. Shouldn't be that hard, right? For $19, I'm not complaining about it. It's the airport and things are expensive. Get over it. What I am pissy about is the fact that the rice bowl was ice cold. There was zero effort to heat the beef, the rice was lukewarm (from the sushi on the table) and ice cold everything (again from this sushi bar) Beef is mealy, over cooked and had zero anything. A beer and a bowl of rice was $35. I get it. It's an airport. Food is subpar and prices are high, talent is hard to get and so on. I'm ok with this being a 4 star experience as the staff is performing to spec. The crappy rating is for the fact the manager behind the counter was touching food with his bare hands after touching common paperwork (right next to the sake stand) sans a wash and gloves aka "Mr Sabah." Waitstaff were touching their faces, noses, mouth, even one was looking at her mouth through an iPhone. Eww. My server, Mari was super friendly, and touched the table once, but blew her nose behind the counter. Busboy (the one with a mole on the right side of his nose) licked his fingers to grab a menu and a then proceeded to handle towels, disposables. Filthy counter tops, dirty fish cases and mold and grime abound. So not good read more

For some reason, finding "sit down and be served" restaurants in this part of Chicago O'Hare Airport is a bit of a challenge. We had about 1 1/2 hours before our flight, wanted to grab lunch, but didn't want the usual airport fare of pizza or McDonald's. Wicker Park had a few open stools vs. the nearby chain restaurant that was packed, so we decided to come here. After looking at the menu, we both decided on the udon, or hot Japanese noodle soup. I ordered the beef udon while my partner had the chicken. To be frank, it took a lot longer than expected for our food to arrive, certainly longer than it should have considering the place wasn't full of patrons on this day and it's just a soup, and considering we were in an airport where most diners are on a time schedule to eat and catch their flights. Our meals were good and reasonably priced at $12 for the chicken and $14 for the beef udon, especially considering it's airport food which can be overpriced and lackluster at times. read more

Don't let the phrase "airport sushi " fool you. This restaurant is pretty legit. All the items that I had were fresh and flavorful. Service is friendly and efficient and they are aware that most people are dining for a short time while catching their flights. My only issue is the prices are a little bit higher even for an airport restaurant. That's fine when you're on expense account but not when you're a solo diner or dining with your family using your own The Spanish dynamite is a standout item as is the matcha tiramisu. read more

Finding good airport food is always such a struggle. Even more so when you're craving Asian food .

I really like their food. Been there many times in T2 and was happy to see they opened one in the C concourse. I showed up at 7:10pm to find the restaurant closing down.

What can I say here? Ok bottom line. I have eaten at Wicker Park more than 20 times. Anyone I know that is going through Ohara I would recommend going here. My one complaint, you have to have an airline ticket to get to it. Bummer. Last night I was at the Hilton for early flight out next morning. No way to get in the terminal to enjoy Wicker Park. Hmmm maybe next time.... Ok so next time is now. Just went down the sushi meme and order the first four. Tuna, yellow fin, salmon and sake salmon (). Back again. Four hour lay over. Time to stop in and enjoy Wicker Park again. read more

I came in around Friday night 7-8pm. I waited for a good 8 mins to be seated with a staff walking right by me without doing anything. No menu was placed in front of me upon being seated either. Food was overpriced and average. Larger portions than usual but at ridiculous airport pricing. $5 for a miso soup, $9 for a salmon maki Asked for a virgin mojito since I don't drink: server told me not to order it as it's $10 so I ordered a coke. Why can't you make a cheaper non alcoholic drink? My server forgot to serve my coke, I had to ask for it. As well as I had to ask for check, and menu etc Not a good experience...would not recommend. read more

The prices weren't THAT bad for being in an airport. The specialty rolls are a bit pricey (again, to be expected for an airport sushi bar) but the regular rolls were surprisingly, reasonably priced. The hostess was the most attentive person of the staff. After I received my water, I was basically ignored. Luckily I already knew I wanted the spicy tuna roll so I was able to order that along with my water. The spicy tuna roll was a bit small but tasted good. I can't really complain about that besides the fatty pieces that weren't trimmed out. I also ordered the Philadelphia roll but couldn't eat it. For whatever reason, the salmon smelled like ham which, needless to say, made me nauseous. Back to being ignored by the staff -- I was seated right next to the register and still had issues flagging down the waitress so that I could pay. read more

For such a food town, O'Hare remains a very disappointing representation of Chicago's culinary excellence. Wicker Park Sushi at ORD does little to change my opinion of that. I've been here many times, as there are surprisingly few quality sit-down-and-be-served restaurants at the airport. The food is always fine and so is the service, but if this restaurant existed outside of the airport, I would probably never visit. Prices are a bit steep in my opinion, but after all it's in an airport and ORD shops are not afraid to let you know that you're a captive audience. I'll likely be back just given the lack of other options. read more

Wicker Park Sushi (Gate E) Was a single traveler & sat the rail to people watch as I ordered my Tempura Shrimp Sushi Roll. Waiter ok but kept me waiting about 5 or 6 mins for a side of spicy mayo which seemed like an eternity to just sit and stare at my food. Mayo had chili flakes in it & was kinda lumpy (never seen flakes in spicy mayo sauce before, js ). Shrimp was lightly fried and wasn't heavy but roll was kinda loose and easily feel apart. Was a decent but nothing special. My Arnold Palmer wasn't mixed so I had to stir it with my straw or else get a mouth full of straight booze I fly into O'Hare at least once a month and it's doubtful I will return. read more
