Umi Sushi by Weight Chicago

My 1st time going so I tried almost everything. I had the raw & cooked sushi. The raw was very fresh. The only thing I didn’t like was the taste of the ginger, left strange taste after eating. Other than that it was quick and easy process, no 1 rushes You to decide what You want to pick. Only about 10 seats all lined up in front of window so Unless You plan to sit & eat quickly just get it to go. They have different size trays so You decide how much You want

Really high quality sushi for a good price. Present your ID for a student discount!

Limited counter seating available but it's more of a grab & go spot.

Surprisingly great sushi at an affordable price. I've been to other sushi places downtown with about the same quality that cost double! Since you pay by weight, it makes it really convenient to try lots of different kinds of sushi without having to order a whole roll. It's a small space with not too much seating; casual/fast food kind of vibe.

Went there last night, my friend ended up getting food poisoning and spent the night in the hospital. The fish was very poor quality and the sushi sat there for we don’t even know how long.

The rolls were delicious and a special thank you to the staff. We asked for salmon rolls and the chef came out and gave us a full consultation and made them exactly as we wanted. Super service. Thank you. We'll definitely be back. 👍🏻🔥

Fantastic

The sushi was amazing! The sauces have a perfect combination of tangy and a subtle sweetness, and you can see the trains from the window.

I love so many aspects of this place. But I first want to say the fish on my raw sushi tasted a little fishy. Not like it was bad but that it wasn’t the best quality. That worries me when eating raw fish.
The cooked sushi was great and I love they have spicy mayo and eel sauce in a dispenser so you can take what you want for your tray.

I do wish they have some plain rolls too. Like a plain avocado roll or just some more veggie options.

Food was not great, but it wasn’t too expensive so maybe you get what you pay for. Not enough seating at all.

Fresh and good! Many options to choose from.

Good bang for your buck, I spend $7 on this. Great lunch spot to grab takeout as seating is super limited inside. The sushi is also good quality and delicious. Will be back for sure.
