50 Best Sushi Bars near Oak Park

“Ordered for pickup over 5 times this year and all but one time it's been perfect! Their miso soup is also great with fresh ingredients added in. I don't even want to mention what happened that one time since they've gotten better since then.“

“We were indifferent to Mora when it first opened several years ago. The food was ok but not great. We went back for the first time in years a few weeks ago and were absolutely delighted by everything. We returned on Sunday afternoon and continue to be bowled over inspite of the noisy laughter coming from a couple of women in a corner booth.“

“Good foods and good service, give it a five (5) ⭐️“

“Wow, amazing lunch, just amazing!❤️😃“

“Wow. It's simply impossible that fine dining could be this fantastic. Tashon, Jens, and Jackie rolled out the red carpet so amazingly, you would have thought our last name was Bou. Sebastian behind the counter was simply breathtaking. We've had omakase at some of the world's leading places in Miami, in Seattle, in NYC, and Tokyo, led by folks who were trained by one of the global icons, and I have to say that Sebastian's ability to create absolutely new and inventive tastes and flavors - while adhering to simple and gorgeous presentations - was simply unmatched. While Sebastian was working his magic, the rest of the team was working hard to make sure every other part of the experience was simply flawless. Water? Always full. Cocktails? We were always asked about how we enjoyed each one well before each was empty, by the expert mixologist who was able to explain the difference between how American mint and Japanese mint can enhance the flavor of certain beverages. Plates? Cleared instantly. Feedback welcomed by the chef? Absolutely. The energy level is not “watch me make your next item while the brightly lit room cowers in awkward silence” - like so many high end omakase spots. This experience is more like “Do you want to be sad when your dinner ends because you don't know when you're ever going to feel this happy with a meal?” There's so much more I could say, including how the effective background evening vibes by Utah's legendary DJ Ta-Salmon made us want to sing each employee's praises. As MJB once said, it truly feels like this team is a family, and it was a Family Affair. Concluding, let me say what MJB would - when you go to Sushi by Bou at Fulton Market - Leave your stress (and hunger) at the door, so when you step inside, you'll see what's in store. Sigh... I know every review is supposed to have one “constructive critique”, but we can't find a single flaw in our entire experience. Thank you, Sushi by Bao team!“

“The food here was delicious!! I’ve done a few omakases, but this was hands down one of the best. Just looking at the sushi you could tell it was high quality. They also cut generous pieces of all the fish.

Mugi was our chef of the night and fantastic. He answered all our questions and made sure we satisfied throughout.“

“Sushi by Scratch was by the far the best sushi I’ve had in my life! My husband surprised me with this incredible dinner for my bday and it was beyond memorable. The sushi was mouth watering and very bite had so much flavor. The chefs were also wonderful. Highly recommend!!“

“Wonderful service and excellent rolls!! Overall great experience“

“My husband and I decided to try this restaurant, and we were absolutely impressed! It quickly became one of our favorite sushi spots in Chicago. The service was excellent, the place was super clean and cozy, and our food arrived really fast. Everything tasted amazing fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We were genuinely surprised by the quality and overall experience. Definitely a must-try restaurant trust me, it might become one of your favorites too!“

“the best sushi in chicago 😍 everything super delicious and very good service, 🥰“

“First off they’re delicious and super quick with the food, very friendly wait staff too! The price point is fantastic as well! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I love Takibi and have been coming here for a few years. Living right around the corner helps of course. It’s a small and simple yet quality restaurant and you can tell the owners are passionate about sushi and giving customers a good experience. The food is always so delicious and I love that they’re BYOB. It’s the best place for a date night and a bottle of wine or to take a couple of friends to catch up.“

“Great, good service good food, no complaints“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“Great food and great prices.“

“100 o/o recomended and friendly ☺️super yummy 🤤“

“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.“

“30 years I’ve been going to Sai Cafe. Quality has never changed. Always the best.“

“This is absolutely my new favorite handroll spot in chicago. Run - don’t walk. Go before this secret is out.

Every single roll on the menu is delicious. Favorites are the salmon skin and the smoked specialty toro. Dessert is delicious as well. It’s a great restaurant for a date, night out with a friend, dining by yourself. The handroll bar is a great spot to post up.“

“Delicious and reasonable sushi. We order for takeout and it is always freshly prepared.“

“Went there for the first time, loved it. Street parking is tough, but there's a big parking lot right across Neta Sushi. Nice atmosphere, great food. Especially loved Kabayaki Unagi - great combination of Unagi, crab, and tempura.
Prices are comparable with other Sushi places, not cheap, and not outrageous.“

“So much to love. Many tasty options and it's BYOB!“

“Delish and very fresh! So yummy!“

“Impeccable service. Friendly staff. Delicious gin“

“Some of the best sushi my girlfriend and I have had in Chicago. Never had a bad meal!“

“DELICIOUS SUSHI. Fresh, fast and good.“

“This is a review for Ekiben Catering!

I really wanted to have Japanese food (specifically Onigiri) for a Studio Ghibli-themed baby shower, and reached out to several local restaurants. Ekiben was by far the most responsive and fairly priced!

Shasha was lovely and helped explain the prices and option recommendations. We opted to have the food delivered, and it was delivered exactly on time. Thank you so much! Everyone loved the food!“

“Its my 4th time there and I just LoVe it 😍“

“Best Japanese food in Chicago“

“Delicious food. Great variety of sushi, beautifully plated. Great service as well.“

“The first time we came here we loved the entire experience including the service. The second time we brought friends and the food was just as good, but it was significantly busier and it was clear that the staff were not able to keep up. Rarely was our table bussed and glasses of wine took ~ 15 minutes. Fortunately they comped the late glasses of wine and as mentioned- food was great and it did arrive/spaced out as it should have. I hope they continue to do well, but I also hope they figure out the service situation. We will definitely be back again!“

“Always yummy !!! Love their salad, sushi, ramen and sake especially.“

“This was a wildly delicious meal. Inventive but also traditional. The food itself was the star, but every other aspect of the meal was also great. It felt like a dinner party at friend’s house. The atmosphere was convivial with the chef explaining the food and answering questions from the diners with everyone in the room being able to hear. The single waiter, Jose, was also a delight. I would return here in a heartbeat despite the price tag.“

“Delicious food. Wonderful service.“

“I came by for the lunch special recommended by a friend and it’s 3 rolls, 2 pieces of sushi, and miso soup for 15 if you dine in! I like that the amount of rice they use is less most other places so I can actually taste the other ingredients. Their sweet potato tempura is nice and crisp when eaten fresh. Will come back“

“First time at the division location! Good food awesome flavors & nice staff! Definitely coming back to this location 🫶“

“From the first sip of the miso soup, I knew we were in for a treat. Easily one of the best I've had! The house salad was very fresh and vibrant. Don't miss out on the deluxe rolls. Not only did they arrive beautifully presented, but each bite was truly a sushi lover's dream 😋. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. This is a lovely clean and cozy place. Will definitely be back soon!“

“Voor de 5e keer hier gegeten. Heerlijke pokebowl en sushi. Ruime keus.“

“Over the years, Indie Cafe has been amazingly kind and thoughtful in their service, and their food preparations and presentations always go above and beyond all of my expectations. From quadruple-checking whether or not a menu item is gluten-free, to recommending the best wine/sake pairings for an entrée, their staff have always ensured that I've left their restaurant knowing that I was appreciated as a customer. And welcomed as a friend. Maya is hands-down one of the most excellent servers I've had the pleasure of dining with. She always goes above and beyond with her level of professionalism and attention, and her personality is lovely as well! Given the quality of their sashimi, the creativity behind their menu, and the warmth in their hearts? I look forward to dining with them for many years to come.“

“They have super good Japanese sea urchin that I’ve never had before, they even offer a unique way to serve it. Which I have tried the uni shooter with quail egg and it’s soo good! Their toro sushi is super worth it compared to the ones in the city and super high quality. Definitely recommend it!“

“Rock Wrap & Roll absolutely deserves 5 stars. The crab Rangoon is on a whole different level—super crispy on the outside, perfectly creamy and flavorful on the inside, and you can actually taste the crab, not just cream cheese. It’s the kind of appetizer you think you’ll share, then end up keeping for yourself. Everything came out hot, fresh, and fast, and the staff was really friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back, and I’m ordering the crab Rangoon every single time.“

“The best omakase experience I have ever had. The wine/sake pairing was perfection, the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, the chefs are outstanding. The food is stunning and delectable of the highest quality. There are not enough superlatives or adjectives to express how much I enjoyed my meal and the entire experience.“

“Best sushi in Chicago, Mitch is the nicest guy on the planet and makes everyone feel at home :)“

“Fantastic atmosphere and very fresh food“
