Great food, great service. I recommend trying the miso salmon and panko onion rolls, and any of the chef curated nigiri!

I was feeling hungry so no pics. I ordered Salmon/Avocado and California rolls with Asahi Super Dry beer. Very tasty. I highly recommend this sushi spot! Wanting to try some of the menu items next time because apparently their food is good enough to pack the tables on a Sunday evening!

Hands down the best sushi I've ever had. The combinations and flavors were unique and wonderful. Also the mezcal cocktail I had was fantastic. Excellent service and a comfortable environment. I would 100% come here again.

Walked in and got seated right away. Sitting at the bar was a good move as you can see the chef preparing the sushi. The ambiance inside is nice and cozy and when you come around 4pm on a regular weekday there's not a lot of people. The sushi we had was great. We requested handrolls and they really made us handroll which was absolutely amazing.
The truffle hamachi hand-roll was by far my favorite it was fresh and nice and crispy. The next one we had was seared salmon and albacore which was so good. The fill the hand-roll to the brim. The Ecuador was really fresh and filled with flavors. We also got their Chefs dressed scallops nigiri which was so good and just melted in your mouth.
You must get the dessert which we got the green tea ice cream with the Fuji Fu apple cake and it was really good.
Reminded me of the Trivoli Tavern date cake.
Overall the chef were really nice and the service was great and very attentive. Their sister restaurant is Yokocho which has amazing rolls as well.

Sushi at this place is okay to me, not anything special. The place has a good vibe, but it has been torn down already. I was here for dinner and been seat at the basement the host was not really welcome he was rushing in the back for smt, the seat I seat in was womble after change to another seat it is still. The host refused to help us, he said other seat what reservation but later on when my friends came they were seating there and of course they don't have reservation:)).

Sushi Dokku delivers a lively, modern take on Japanese dining in the heart of Chicago’s West Loop. The sleek, intimate atmosphere and attentive service make it a great spot for both date nights and group dinners. The nigiri and sashimi are fresh and beautifully presented, while creative rolls like the Spicy Tuna 2.0 and the Truffle Hamachi stand out for their balance and flair. The cocktail list is equally thoughtful, pairing well with the menu’s bold flavors. While prices run a bit high for the portion sizes and reservations can be tricky to snag, the overall experience feels polished and memorable.

We came in a tuesday night and had drinks and sushi/nigiri, with edamame and deviled eggs. Great service at the bar and we loved the dragon and tarantula rolls. Thank you Sushi Dokku! They also have a bar downstairs we visited afterwards. Great spot in west loop for sushi.

My boyfriend and I frequently dine at this spot. The chefs are always friendly and food is very good which is unfortunate that I have to leave this review for owners to take accountability of their staff. I dined on Thursday in boozebox and it was not even busy when the host asked us to move to the bar to seat a next reservation. We barely dined for more than an hour and felt very rushed even though we spent a lot of money. She was incredibly rude to us, maybe discriminated because we were young? Regardless, her snarky attitude is the reason why we will not be returning. She introduced herself as Jen when we complained and just offered shots as if that is a proper apology. Absolutely not okay.

So I blew it today shopping. She didn’t like any of the earrings or watches I wanted to buy her.
So dinner tonight was my last chance to impress this girl. We bonded over 2 divine rolls, a Salmon Nigri, and some peppers. A fire started in the restaurant across the street that was emblematic of the heat I’m feeling between her and I. I really feel like after this lovely dinner, I’m so in there. Also, she loves espresso martinis; so that helped.
