“The best omakase restaurant in the entire city. There is an immense focus on how the fish is prepared and where it is sourced vs loading it with toppings to elevate the quality which is common among other omakase restaurants in the city. Jorge our chef was extremely knowledgeable and friendly making the experience interactive and intimate. The ambience is amazing with a staggered service and only two rounds of service a night, so it’s never too loud and a great spot to bring a significant other. Could not say enough amazing things about Kyoten Next Door, will absolutely be coming back, worth every penny.“
“Q Sushi absolutely lives up to the reviews. The atmosphere is cute, not stuffy or pretentious, and very welcoming. The service was phenomenal. Really personable, friendly staff. We did the omakase menu and everything was fantastic and we were SO full by the end. 5 stars all around.“
“Really good sushi! Super fresh rolls with beautiful presentation. The Black Sea roll was just okay but wasn't anything super special. The Breaking Bad roll was so amazing. Really good combination of flavors. We got it without the asparagus. The River Walk was good and packed full of fish but wasn't as good as the Breaking Bad roll. Service was great and such a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back here soon to try more of their Jumbo Rolls“
“Absolutely incredible place!! It's definitely the best sushi and Thai on the north side of Chicago. We usually go to Hot Wok Cool Sushi or other places further into the city. -Not after today! This place was fantastic. The service was great - they were so friendly. And the food and presentation was phenomenal. It blew away any place that we went to before. It's the first place that all 4 members of my family agreed was awesome. We will definitely be back soon!“
“Overall the taste of all the ingredients is very good and well seasoned. They also has some toppings less commonly seen like shredded beets and bean sprouts! The place is very clean and they also weigh the noodles/rice to ensure evenness. The only con I would say is that the scoops of fish are on the small side so I would recommend 5 scoops over 3 for an adult. Also you get more fish if you choose the fish that already have spicy sauce, like spicy tuna, as opposed to plain fish, like plain salmon, due to the scoop shape. The seaweed salad topping and masago are both $1 extra which a minor point off“
“Lawrence fish market always hits the spot. I don’t think I’d ever get tired of them! I don’t know how many times I’ve ordered from them before, but I’ve definitely ordered 6+ times. My man and I always get some kind of Maki tray and some extra rolls. 10/10, so worth it. It’s cash only btw!!“
“I've been looking forward to this place opening ever since the building was getting remodeled and it was announced what the building would become. Have visited multiple times and each time the service and food quality were consistent. The food value is very good, though the specialty cocktail pricing adds up quick (but is on-par for the area). Staff has been friendly and knowledgeable.“
“One of the best sushi restaurants I tried so far!! We order the all you can eat menu. The appetizers are so varied and tasty! The signature rolls are beyond tasty! We were four adults and two kids and they were able to accommodate us. We waited for some time wasn’t too long though. We also joined the waitlist on yelp. So the total wait time was around an hour. We repeated some appetizers for sure!! Also the motchi ice cream was so good. Will visit again for sure.“
“Fantastic spot for a delicious and enjoyable Japanese meal ?!!!Ekiben was a wonderful dining experience! From the moment I walked in.... the atmosphere was cosy and inviting. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering recommendations on the menu.I had the salmon teriyaki don. It tasted so fresh and flavorful. The ingredients were perfectly cooked and delightful ?.While the food was delicious, I'm also very optimistic that they will continue to innovate and introduce exciting new dishes in the future. ? For example, chef's choice section on the menu where they can showcase their culinary creativity, or loyalty program to reward frequent customers would be excellent (hopefully I don't ask them too much?)I truly enjoyed my experience at Ekiben, and I will definitely revisit and try another dish ?.“
“The absolute best sushi I've had anywhere. Not only is the sushi fresh, hence the name, but the chef is a true master of his craft. The owner and staff couldn't be more genuine as they provide the most welcoming atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try, especially if you are unsure about sushi. This place will have you hooked within the first bite.“
“Sen Sushi is a tad hidden off of Oak Park Street near Addis’ Cafe. It’s a clean no frills place that offers good amount of specialty rolls and great Sashimi and Nigiri sets.They don’t take reservations and it is small, but seems like turn over is pretty fast. Definitely a place to try if you want decent sushi this side of the burbs.Parking: There is paid parking in front of the building or if u go about half a block down, free parking in front of the houses.“
“If I could give this place 10 stars I would! This place is incredible, from the food, to the service, and the ambiance, absolutely amazing! I travel from New York just to come eat their sushi. As we entered Haru, we were greeted very delightful! The server was very attentive and made sure to provide me with descriptions of each sushi. She described in detail about all the special rolls they had on their menu. My favorite is the Logan! I cannot express how delicious their miso soup is as well! Thank you Haru Sushi for an absolutely amazing experience! Cannot wait to travel back! The best sushi I have ever tried, and cannot express the freshness of the fish!“
“First time going here and I couldn't be more impressed, the restraunt is very clean and the staff are nice. The food is fresh and very good. Got the salmon obsession sushi burrito and it was very good! Can't wait to try their other dishes.“
“I went in because I was craving affordable sushi and wanted to try a new place. To my surprise no sushi offered at this time :( Oh well. I was suggested the lunch special. It was a good deal and was fresh. General Tso's Chicken- The chicken was juicy with a nice crisp breading. The sauce was tangy, sweet and spicy! Yum :) The rice had a really good onion flavor with the right wok char. Not greasy and will leave you feeling good and satisfied. As for the location I found free street parking across the street. The place was quiet and clean.“
“I always recommend it for the variety, assortment and prices. The best offers. In food without competition.Vegetarian options: For every taste.Dietary restrictions: Choice. There's a lot.Parking: Spacious and comfortable...Kid-friendliness: YeahWheelchair accessibility: Very good“
“Ordered from them for some quick lunch. Prices were unbeatable, and the quality of food was incredible. Really can tell a lot about sushi just from the rice, and the rice was spot on. Would highly recommend giving them your business. They are take-out only at this time though. Thank you so much for a delicious lunch!“
“The sushi was surprising, innovative and delicious! Sake flight was a highlight. Seating was comfy and our waitress was super nice. It could have been a tad darker in there in terms of lighting.Would recommend trying a classic maki as well as one of the four-piece sashimi options. (I was skeptical of fish wrapped around fruit, but after one bite I was a believer ? I was also a fan of the pickled onion and scallion in the maki) Our favorite signature was the red dragon.“
“What a great place! I can recommend it for celebrations, date or just sit by the bar and enjoy great food and drinks.We’ve been in this place many times and never disappointed. Great selection of delicious drinks, I always get their Old Fashioned.Food:You can tell everything is fresh and high quality, I always like to get oysters because they have delicious ones. You must try oyster shot it’s worth every single penny. Besides that great appetizers like fried Gyoza or spicy edamame.You won’t be regretting taking their sushi rolls either.Highly recommend!Parking: You can go to underground parking lot that is free of charge and you can access that parking from Summit ave“
“I never really think much of the service and atmosphere ratings here on Google reviews but both at Kai Zan truly were top notch. As a birthday gift, my brother took me to try omakase for the first time, and it was a very cool food experience. Seeing the chefs and waiters and hosts do their thing was like watching a performance. I watched as the staff meticulously reset the table for the next people - everything perfectly placed down to the centimeter. The way they’re able to time everything is incredible too.My favorite of the courses was the very first and the shooters - very unique. The others were good but I appreciated the creativity of those. Very beautiful dishes and we were seated at the bar so we had a front row seat to watching the chefs cook (highly recommend). We also ordered the yuzu cheesecake and ube pound cake (unlisted) for dessert. At the end I wasn’t stuffed but I was content. A really great first omakase experience!“
“Amazing and delicious. All of the rolls were tried were so yummy and not overly saucy like most others. My favorite was the crispy rice with salmon. Love the texture. And the turtle roll was fun and different. Knocked one star off because we felt like we were rushed out of there after only being there an hour but overall this place is really great!“
“The beef tatami was excellent, lamb chops & calamari were good, yellowtail was ok...rice pot didn't have much flavorSteve, server had excellent interaction. Support staff was ok...plate change didn't happen unless we requested and was very slow, table never got manicured throughout$300 spend on party of 2“
“I love Wasabi as it is always neat and clean, the restaurant and the atmosphere is hospitable. I mostly order delivery but their service is top notch and always timely and the food is excellent everytime. I recommend to anyone who wants to try this kind of food to try Wasabi first and i promise you'll be delighted as i always am.“
“Great place for sushi, great drinks. I loved the green tea creme brûlée. Service is a bit slow cause there are only a few servers but I’ve come back cause I love it so much.Dietary restrictions: I am a bad vegan and they had plenty of vegan options and they were spectacular!“
“Chef Roberto and team are always super welcoming - whipping up amazing margaritas (I’m usually a sake guy, but I’ve gotten margs to go before, don’t judge me), and a delicious selection of sushi, sashimi, hand rolls and more. Our kids love it too - very family friendly (but even better for a date night away).“
“Incredible- loved Arami and would highly recommend. We have done a la carte as well as omakase and both have been phenomenal.The omakase experience was particularly lovely. Each course was meticulously prepared and thoughtfully crafted. They are also able to accommodate to gluten free.Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to gluten freee“
“Came in for the Mini Beef Bowl and it didn't disappoint. The beef was nicely seasoned and all the ingredients were fresh. Lots of take out business but it was early lunch time when I was there. Will definitely come back to try other options as they sound great.“
“My first time there and was so impressed. Very low-key chill vibe which was great for my friends and I to catch up. My friend had the roasted garlic miso ramen which looked incredible and he loved it. The Latin Bliss roll was plated so beautifully I nearly took a picture. Everyone loved their food and their desserts were just as good (and nice to look at). The service was surprisingly fast and everyone was really friendly.Parking: There is a nearby lot for that row of restaurants but when we went it was packed and I couldn't see how you access it. The opening off of North Blvd is exit only. Street parking is a little touch-and-go in that area. I did find something but had to come back around.“
“I come here for the Bring It On Noodles. This is a soup that tastes like nothing I've ever had. It combines the best of Thai flavors. The soup is spicy, tangy, sweet, savory, and packed with umami flavor. All of the elements of this soup pair so well together. 10/10 for this soup that I have damn near once/week. The owner knows me well at this point. Please taste this soup!“
“Daniel, the bartender, gave me a an outstanding hospitality service! He got personal! That’s the key! The food was super duper flavorfull! Lychee drink delizioso! The whole stuff very welcoming! Feels like a family!!!Thank you Tony as well!“
“My friends and I went for omakase and had the most amazing time. We have now officially been to every omakase in the city and this was hands down the best one. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Otto Phan. If you are considering going to Kyoten, it is 100% worth every penny. The dishes were unique, seasonal, and mouth watering. The sake was hand picked with care and amazing attention to detail. Otto Phan made it a once in a lifetime experience.“
“We tried BNK for the first time last night, and could not have been happier! The mini crab & veggie spring rolls were delicious (we fought over the last ones) and the Spicy Peanut Sauce dish with chicken was so good I licked the plate :)“
“Raiz is a gem on Fullerton. At first glance you might find some confusion with a menu offering both pasta and sushi but don’t be dissuaded. The food here is amazing and you can see the chef and team put care and heart into this place. Absolutely delicious and great service.“
“Went here today with my family.. 4 kids involved… i have to say this place knocked it out of the park. The woman serving us could not have been nicer & more helpful with the kids . The food was great, reasonable prices, clean, great lunch special. We live in the neighborhood and i’m so happy to have found our neighborhood spot!! I also loved how many options they had for veggies rolls!“
“I recently had Ruk cater an event and they were amazing to work with- the food is great, they were SO accommodating, and created beautiful sushi trays within my budget. In addition to ordering take out and dining in, I will absolutely be using them for catering again!“
“Visited this place with a friend a few times in the past, one of the best Asian restaurants in the area.You can tell the eggrolls are fresh when you can taste the ingredients instead of grease, and the sweet and sour sauce (ask for home made, not packet)- I'd say both are fantastic.Never had a single bad meal here, food is fast, staff efficient and courteous, and you get a large amount of food for the price.While it *can* get more expensive, sharing meals cuts down on the cost, and the food IS worth it.Only complaint is parking is iffy, but between Johnnie's beef and the other lots you'll likely find something nearby...pulls you out of the experience abit, but the food is worth it.“
“Food was delicious and not over priced. The spicy spider was absolutely delicious! Not really spicy just completely flavorful! The service was wonderful, the waitress was very friendly. The atmosphere however was very outdated, It could use some remodeling, It looks like an old cafeteria.“
“Hamds-down my absolute favorite sushi restaurant in the western suburbs of Chicago. The Asian Tacos and Crazy Jalapeño are a must for starters and I've yet to have a specialty roll I didn't love, to include a few off-menu rolls. Be sure to ask your server about those. Speaking of the staff, very friendly and equally attentive. The speed of service is also above par. Nabuki is certainly a spot worth visiting the next time you're in Hinsdale.“
“Went for a date night. They have happy hour specials on a few apps, rolls, and drinks. Service overall was great! Our server mickayla was very attentive as well as the other staff in the restaurant. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Oyster shooters were yummy!! And they have orange wine! We will definitely go back.“
“Girlfriend and I dropped in to check this place out tonight. A good starter to the night and honestly, some of the best sushi I've had in a long time. You forget what it is like to eat.She requested I write "this was good ****, 100 emoji, fire" as a review.“
“Truly an amazing place all around. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a date night or gathering with friends. The ingredients are fresh, service is very friendly and presentation is also very thoughtful. The crunchy spicy tuna rolls were my favorite. Not to mention it’s BYOB and prices are very reasonable! Definitely will be back soon.Vegetarian options: Sweet potato roll is delicious“
“Our family loves coming to this place. Great service all the time; they always make it feel more personable as if you were their family.Everything on the menu is a must. Their Godzilla and Chicago Fire Sushi rolls are the best.Miso and Hot and sour soups hot the spot on cold days and the saki give you that kick if you're looking spice.Overall great hidden gem in LaGrange.“
“Went to Gorilla Sushi in Jefferson Park today for lunch. Really enjoyed it! Many of the rolls are so reasonably priced. Really enjoyed the spider roll and especially the Miami roll. The sauces they use on their rolls are spicy and flavorful. Glad we dined in rather than getting take out. The service at lunch was very good. Also, the chai coffee I had paired well with the sushi. I plan on coming back soon!Parking: Plenty of places to park on the street by the restaurant.“
“I am a frequent diner at Wabi Sabi - it is a great place for dine in or takeout. Good selection of appetizers, sushi rolls, and entrees. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been fantastic, but I especially recommend the gyoza. Definitely affordable for sushi in the area. If you are picking up, food is usually ready 15-20 minutes after you call in even if the place is super busy.Parking: Paid street parking in Kedzie. Surrounding neighborhood streets have some free parking usually but be sure to check permit signs.“
“A Culinary Masterpiece: Exquisite Beef WellingtonI recently had the pleasure of experiencing the epitome of culinary excellence at shallots. Words can hardly encapsulate the divine delight that was their Beef Wellington. As a seasoned food enthusiast, I've traversed the (kosher) gastronomic landscape far and wide, yet never have I encountered a dish as sublime as this.From the moment the plate graced our table, it was evident that this was no ordinary Beef Wellington. The golden-brown pastry shell, flawlessly crimped and glistening, hinted at the delectable treasure hidden within.Upon slicing through the delicate crust, I was met with a succulent medley of flavors. The tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef, perfectly cooked to medium-rare perfection, nestled amidst a symphony of earthy mushrooms and rich, aromatic duxelles. Each bite was a harmonious fusion of textures and tastes, leaving me utterly spellbound.But what truly elevated this Beef Wellington to legendary status was the chef's meticulous attention to detail. Every component was executed with precision and finesse, culminating in a culinary masterpiece that transcended mere sustenance.As I savored each exquisite morsel, I couldn't help but marvel at the chef's ingenuity and dedication. This was not just a meal; it was an experience—an unforgettable journey through the realms of taste and indulgence.To the chef behind this culinary triumph, I extend my sincerest gratitude. You have not only created the best Beef Wellington I've ever had the pleasure of tasting, but you have also crafted one of the top five dishes I've ever been served. Tonight, you should go home with your head held high, knowing that you have left an indelible mark on my palate and heart alike.“
“This is a hidden gem and hole in the wall. If you’re a fan of Wasabi Ramen, this ramen is a close second on the west side.They have Studio Ghibli themed decor, relaxing vibes. BYOB. I’ve come here a few times already!There is usually one waitress there at a time. If it’s packed, be prepared to wait a little.My only complaint is that it’s always cold in there, but bring a sweater, you’ll be fine.“
“We went there last night and got a take out order. I love Chinese food. This food is the best ! The staff is very friendly and polite . The food is so good that this is My go to restaurant when I’m in Elmhurst from now on. I am very delighted that we stopped in .“
“Full of people who wants to eat sushi! Once me and my friends, decided to go to Sushi Taku, to challenge our self eating sushi, this is a story about how we was totally full in stomach and try to eat it all because it was so tasty. Great place and great waiters, they knew what you want before tell them! Awesome !“
“I've been going to sushi nest for years, this place is still amazing, ordered to go recently so that's where the picture is from, BUT EVEN TO GO IT WAS SO GOOD, definitely prepared with love, thank you guys!Top left is forest roll, under it is the red dragon, the one with the small leafy garnish is called four seasons, below that the Godzilla, below that the king crab roll, and we ordered a sashimi dinner on the side as well with the edamame“

“If you are looking for authentic taste and good quality sushi, you simply must put NORI Sushi at the top of your list. There are quite a few places to get good sushi, but the flavors here are outstanding! The service was friendly and helpful. Tasty incredibly and fresh sushi! I’ll definitely be back!“
“Love this place. They're Thai. Fried rice is phenomenal. I order it at least twice a month. Their sushi is fantastic and you can customize. It's a little hard to find but it's right off the expressway but I would recommend this place. Their chicken satay also is phenomenal. It's so moist and tender“
