SUSHI DOKKU Japanese Restaurant ( see website for BOOZE BOX hours )

We got seated right away, even though we had no reservations. It was awesome sitting at the bar. Love this place! I'm glad it's still there 🙂

Came for dinner and the sushi was amazing! Made reservations for the sushi bar and the view did not disappoint. The sushi chefs were busy making sushi from the time I arrived until I left!

I ordered a pear up cocktail and it’s spot on! Very delicious - made this my drink of the night.

I started with the miso soup and hamachi ponzu. I thoroughly enjoyed the hamachi ponzu and didn’t want the plate to end! Other items I ordered were: maguro, sake, and tako nigiri. The fish tasted very fresh and I enjoyed the chef dressed on the tako. I also ordered the seared salmon and albacore roll and enjoyed it as well. The pieces were a decent size and flavor combinations worked well together.

Overall, this is great spot for amazing sushi!

Good sushi in Fulton Market! Its very tasty and generous portions. The tuna nigiri was really good and the pork gyozas as appetizer a great choice. I have some seafood allergies so the server suggested nice recommendations. Good location too.

Vibes were A1 at Umi. The staff was extremely friendly and the food matched the level of quality of the service.

We ordered small bites here as we were hopping around. The drinks were great. I enjoyed the Ube cocktail a lot and the karaage chicken.

I would love to come back here and sit and eat a full meal. I would also love to go to their speakeasy as well! Until next time!

Excellent Sushi and Sashimi! High quality and fair prices. Enjoyed the Tuna Truffle, Otoro, Zuke Sake and Wagyu A5. Grilled Salmon entree was great as well.

Tucked away in a cozy, vibey downstairs speakeasy space - dim lighting, intimate atmosphere, and a great spot for a chill night. I ordered scallop nigiri (MUST try—it melted in my mouth), yellowtail nigiri, salmon sashimi, and a highball. Everything came out fresh, fast, and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit for sushi lovers 🍣 but will say that it’s definitely pricier than I’d expect. Also, the employees are super kind too! ◡̈

This was our go to spot when we lived in West Loop, and now we make it a point to always eat here when we’re back visiting. Food and service were incredible!

Hands down one of the most memorable sushi experiences I’ve had in Chicago. I popped into Dokku Sushi on a Monday evening for a quick bite and was completely blown away. The service—especially from David—was warm, attentive, and absolutely impeccable. He struck the perfect balance between professional and welcoming, making the whole experience feel elevated yet relaxed.

The scallop sushi in particular deserves special mention. The flavor was deep, delicate, and sophisticated—a beautiful balance of brine, sweetness, and umami that lingered in the best way. You could truly taste the freshness and care in every bite. The fresh water oysters had a kind of quiet complexity that made them stand out from anything else I’ve had in the city.

This is the kind of place that takes sushi seriously, and it shows in every detail—from the quality of the fish to the pacing of the meal. I’m already planning my return, and this time I’m going all in on their omakase experience. Can’t wait to see what else the chef has in store.
Dokku is a true gem in West Loop

Terrific food.

Absolutely a place to go — top sushi spot, hands down. We ordered miso soup, the Godzilla roll, spicy tuna, and the Dragon roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly delicious.

The miso soup wasn’t one of those watered-down versions you might find elsewhere; it was rich and tasty — felt like the real recipe.

The maki rolls were phenomenally good.

I’d definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone.

Oh, and they also served those little towels to clean your hands — so cool!
