“I really like this place! I had the Tantanmen ramen and chicken karaage and both were bomb. Great service too. We were seated quickly and our food came out in under 10 mins. 5/5 stars in my book!“

“This is the best ramen in Evanston and the North shore! 🍲🥣🍚🍜“

“great food I love the atmosphere and culture when you walk in .the server is really nice she shows great customer service skills and she is beautiful too but I will definitely recommend this to anyone“

“Great food, fresh ingredients… worth every penny!“

“Went for the first time on a Saturday for dinner around 6:30pm. It was crowded but didn't have to wait to be seated.

We had the brussel sprouts, karaage bun and I had the Goku Tonkatsu Ramen. Everything was really good. Service was good as well.

Will definitely be back.“

“Definitely one of my top ramen spots in the city! 🍜🔥 The broth here is seriously next level - rich, flavorful, and super satisfying.
I tried the spicy tonkotsu ramen and was actually pleasantly surprised that it had real heat to it 😄🌶️. A lot of places label things as “spicy,” but this one genuinely delivers on that kick, which I really appreciated.
The noodles had a perfect texture 🍜👌, and the pork tonkotsu was tender with just the right thickness and richness. Everything came together really well in one bowl.
Overall, a fantastic ramen experience that stands out from many other spots in the city. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon! 🙌✨“

“Incredible experience. I will definitely be back. Tried the monster and the spicy summer. Both were amazing. Oh and can’t forget the Gyoza. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!!“

“Honestly so glad we finally stumbled into this place. It’s tucked away right by the Thorndale stop and has the best vibe, very low-key, intimate, and has great private booth seating.
The service was great, and the staff made us feel welcome the second we walked in.
As for the food, everything hit the mark. We started with the agedashi tofu, which was beautifully prepared, and followed it up with a beef gyudon bowl and a bento box packed with savory beef and crispy chicken karaage. For dessert, they have a fish-shaped pastry with a pandan leaf custard filling that is a must-try.
It’s easily one of the best spots for Japanese comfort food in Edgewater. We didn't get a chance to try the ramen this time around, but we are absolutely coming back for it.“

“Food was amazing so Delicious will definitely be back“

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“Best Sushi Restaurant on the planet. Not only was all the food superior than any other Sushi restaurant I've been to. My family and I had a feast.(I mean all the food was good). Very reasonable prices as well. The most astonishing fact about this restaurant was the host (Quam) his amazing knowledge of food and customer service was unlike any other. The Ice cream desert was mind blowing. You don't have to take my word for it, but I guarantee you, you won't find another Sushi restaurant in the city of Chicago as good this one. The ambiance of this establishment is very warm and pleasant. I highly recommend this place for family gatherings, and with people you want to share a special food feast with. It's pure laughter and joy. Thank you Quam for your kind recommendations on food selections. My family and I had the time of our lives, as if we were on vacation. Thank you! "Fresh Shushi Chicago" is a gift to eating out.“

“WOW I was so impressed by this place! I was close by and needed some food, and they were able to complete my order very quickly! Got a chicken yakisoba, and it SLAPPED. The chicken was good quality and the veg was really fresh! Definitely a new regular place to visit.“

“Authentic made by family Korean food. Consistently good food and service.“

“The highlight of the night was undoubtedly how incredibly fresh the fish was. Every piece of sushi melted in my mouth, and the quality of the ingredients truly shines through in every roll. You can tell they don't cut corners here, everything tasted crisp, clean, and perfectly prepared.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is absolutely cute and welcoming. It has a charming, cozy aesthetic that makes it the perfect spot for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or just a comforting solo meal.
To top it all off, the service was fantastic. The staff was attentive, genuinely friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive.“

“I dined at Neko Sushi and tried their tuna and avocado fried rolls, and they are the reason I’ve already been back three times in the past two weeks since finding this neighborhood gem. My fiancé ordered the shrimp in a blanket and they were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I had the ramen both times and it was absolutely delicious. My fiancé tried the pad thai with shrimp on one visit and the basil shrimp fried rice on another, and both dishes were full of flavor and so satisfying. Neko Sushi has quickly become one of our favorites. Everything we’ve tried has been consistently fresh and tasty. Oh and they are BYOB!“

“I decided to check out this local ramen restaurant which is right next to Thorndale train station. I ordered the Tonkotsu spicy ramen and I must say it was delicious.

The only critique is that I only got 2 pieces of meat, and the bowl did not have much veggies in it like your average ramen spot. However, it was pretty good and I’ll definitely visit again.“

“BEST RAMEN! i dream of it sometimes. something about the coconut milk broth ramen piqued my interest last night, and I'm glad I listened to my intuition. Oh my goodness. whoever's recipe that is, please give them a massive hug for me right now and say thank you because that was the most delicious thing I've had in so long. What a TREAT! these folks have somehow managed to incorporate happiness as an ingredient in their food, so when you eat it, All the happiness particles travel through your body for 24 to 48 hours and you feel extremely satisfied and fulfilled. you might miss the ramen afterwards, and you might end up having dreams about it like I do but trust me, they're pleasant dreams.“

“Highly recommended👍 delicious“

“Definitely recommend! The gyoza was delicious and ended up getting another portion. I’m not a huge sushi fan but trusted the staffs recommendation for the ‘angel roll’ (thanks to Skye and Yuri) and ended up eating all of it! The staff were super knowledgeable about the menu and welcoming.“

“The widest selection of Sushi grade seafood Ive seen on a menu in a Long time- all very fresh and very generously portioned! Octopus and salmon Sashimi were the dessert orders from our kids 😂 We will definetly be returning, and highly recommend. Servers, Host, Owner, entire staff was extremely attentive- and to top it all they were happily and safely able to accomodate my childs severe dairy and peanut allergies (first sushi experience for him, and we Love seafood, so huge win for the whole family 🙌🏼)“
