⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tanoshii is such a great spot! The food is always fresh and flavorful, especially the sushi — you can really tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the whole experience just feels comfortable and enjoyable. Definitely a place I’m happy to come back to and recommend to friends!
Very friendly staff. Warm and comfortable environment. Wonderful sushi. First time here. Definitely not the last.

I don't know why, but neighborhood sushi restaurants like this one just rarely have good quality sushi. I have been here a handful of times over the last 15 years, but generally avoid it as it is pedestrian fair at best. The sashimi just has no texture, as if it had been frozen and thawed probably more than once, and even the rice has no taste. Just all bland and mush, which for $8 for. Single piece of tuna or salmon is just sad - Whole Foods sushi trays are better. The server was nice but not professional, with dishes arriving in the wrong order (sushi before appetizers) and even delivering the maki of two people on one tray - whether her fault or that of the sushi chef, I do not know, but it caused quite some confusion as she hadn't even said what the rolls were. Like Indie Cafe and, perhaps to a somewhat lesser degree, Blowfish in the neighborhood, adequate but not good. While Chicago is not a center of sushi excellence, there are a few very good omakase at which (for a pretty penny) a good piece of sashimi can be had.

We're visiting from out of state and wanted to enjoy a nice meal after landing and leaving out things at the lodging. Came here while exploring the neighborhood and our kid liked it so much we came back the next night too! Very kind staff, cozy atmosphere. I'm sure we'll be back next time we visit Chicago!

Had the Omakase which was fabulous! Service was excellent and dishes were staggered for a leisurely and lovely dining experience. We will be back! Thank you!
Top notch Sushi and our server Aidana was amazing! She has a wealth of knowledge about the menu. She’s the best.

My mom was sick so I ask my niece to buy shrimps and vegetables tempura,but this is what tempura’s?? Looks like. I thought it was from grocery food corner, but it’s a restaurant!! I have no words to say just disappointed and embarrassed this is not quality of restaurant food I was going to throw away,but I tried to let them know so I call restaurant manager, he haven’t call me back yet. The texture of oil what they used it seems like hadn’t been changed in a month?! 3 other foods were just okay but these tempura worst food ever I never ever seen tempura like this before now time to throw in the trash 🚮

even tho the restaurant low key wasn't that busy when we got there, they took a lil bit to get us water, but ts mad chill because we didn't really care. Prices a lil bit on the high side for our wallets but that's just us. Food was good and our waiter was so happy and chill and split our bill 5 ways cuz we asked nicely. Shoutout to my mom
