Stopped here on a Sunday evening. Chicken karaage was great. Wave old fashioned was one of the best. My fiancé loved the lychee mocktail. Sushi was delicious.

Cute neighborhood sushi spot! Tried several dishes, I’d recommend the Wave roll because it has chunks of sashimi & the salmon carpaccio that has a nice kick!

In short, too heavy handed with the mayo.

We decided to try Wave given the good ratings and living in the delivery zone. The photos on the website made everything look amazing, but flavor wise, it failed to deliver.

We ordered the Spicy Bluefin, Yuzu Kosho Hamachi, and the Wave rolls. I was expecting at least the Spicy Bluefin to be spicy, but nothing packed heat. Honestly, I found all the flavors to fall rather flat. The other annoyance was we were given a comically small amount of wasabi, fortunately, I keep some on hand.

Overall, I was disappointed in our order and felt less astray by all of the positive reviews.

Great spot. The shishito peppers were legit—perfectly blistered and packed with flavor. Sushi was high quality, and the cocktails were on point. Chill vibe that works whether you’re out with friends or on a date. Service is always solid—friendly and welcoming every time.

Food was great. The chicken bento box was phenomenal, so was the dragon roll. Service was not great, had to get up a couple times to go find my waitress. However, they ended up giving me 50% off of the two bento boxes me and my girl ordered when we got the check so that definitely made up for it. Got the vibe that service is either a hit or miss here, but I’d def recommend going for the food.

I had an amazing experience at Wave Sushi & Sake! The Dragon roll is hands down my favorite – the flavors are perfectly balanced, and the presentation is beautiful. I also tried their Lychee mocktail, and it was the perfect refreshing treat to pair with the sushi. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. Highly recommend!

The set bento boxes for lunch are really worth the piece. The quality of the food and the friendly staff walked my friend and I through the menu to get the best dishes! I would say that wave sushi and sake really is a hidden gem here in Chicago!
