I tried their take-out pizza box sushi item. I ordered 6 rolls. The wait time was 2hrs and 10mins (when I placed the order at 5pm). The rolls themselves were good, they were made in a rush clearly. The experience was good, and next time. The restaurant itself is on the smaller size, there are some outdoor seating available as well.

I’m literally obsessed with this place. It’s one of the best restaurants in Chicago when it comes to getting lots of food for a good price. The food is always amazing and comes out without a long wait. The restaurant is very very cozy so you may hear others conversations, but it’s worth it to dine here. Will be back time and time again because it’s so good!

Just swung by Tanuki Sushi & Grill in Lakeview and dropped around $50 on a Tuna Poke bowl, Salmon Crudo, a robata beef short rib skewer, plus a couple spicy rolls—all BYOB. Cozy, rustic‑chic vibe with friendly crew, quick service, and fish that’s buttery fresh. Love the robata grill action and laid‑back feel. Legit date‑night gem—can’t wait to come back!
