“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!“

“This is hands down the best ramen I’ve had since Japan! I ordered the spicy miso ramen, and everything about it was absolutely delicious. The broth had the perfect balance of rich, savory, and spicy flavor without being overwhelming.

The ramen noodles were perfect, the texture and consistency were exactly what I look for in good ramen, and they paired so well with the meat and flavorful broth. The meat was also incredibly tender and delicious, making every bite so satisfying.

I also tried the karaage, and it was SO good! It was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being juicy and tender on the inside.

Honestly, this ramen was so good that I completely forgot to take a before picture because I was too busy eating it! 🤣 Thank you for such an amazing meal!I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Ramen was flavorful, hot, fresh, and tasty. Food and drinks came quickly. After that, we had to approach a busser for a utensil and eventually take-out containers. Not sure if our server was also the bartender. It wasn't awfully busy, and we had to flag him down for the bill.“

“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!!!!“

“A perfect hole-in-the-wall ramen place in Edgewater. It’s tiny. They have no air conditioning. But their food is genuinely good from broth to tofu. Despite being a ramen place, their curry was just as awesome. This is a perfect spot on a rainy or snowy date night. Highly recommended.“

“Food was amazing so Delicious will definitely be back“

We come here every month to try their monthly specials if we can get a table. Sad I won’t be able to re-experience some of them, but also impressed by how innovative they are and always excited to try their new ramens“

“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.“

“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.“

“Highly recommended👍 delicious“

“super authentic, good quality food! great owners and staff!“

“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 🙌🏼)“

“Originally came in for sushi but decided to try the ramen, without a doubt a great decision. Wife and I both finished our ramen bowls and full of flavor and absolutely filling maybe a bit too much onion but not overpowering. Staff is friendly and attentive. Gets quite full quickly but overall great food and experience“
