50 Best Sushi Bars near Skokie

“You will not disappointed!!! High quality and very fresh, super delicious. I have never failed with any menu with Chef Justin. Very reasonable price and luxurious presentations! He is very popular for private parties and catering. One of the BEST sushi in town!!“

“I had been scared off from trying this for a while with the bad reviews, and I regret waiting so long. For the midwest, this is an incredibly high quality conveyor belt sushi joint. The ingredients are well sourced and the tech works seamlessly so that you can get anything on the menu within a five minute wait. I mostly ordered from the tablet vs the belt as I wanted to enjoy the many seared nigiri options fresh, and all of the seafood was excellent. The beef nigiri were not my favorite, but that isn't a surprise given the price point. I love the food, the variety of more traditional sushi options, and the fact that I can do so quickly without a whole lot of interpersonal interaction for a fast lunch.“

“Best steak ever!!! It was an extremely tender rib eye - packed with flavor and cooked to the correct temp. Their mashed potatoes were divine and the Bordeaux was exquisite. As someone who DOESN’T keep kosher this was better than any steakhouse I’ve been to in the suburbs + city ?? Lincolnwood has THE best restaurants in the world. No one can tell me otherwise.“

“Yummy food and good service.“

“This place is a local gem!!!! Everything I've ordered was fantastic! Love their pot stickers, crab rangoon, and their egg rolls! Kenny makes all the sauces in house!!!! The smoothies and Japanese sodas are faves with my kids. Wonderful spot and great people that work there!“

“I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.“

“We enjoyed everything whatever we ordered“

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“Very top tier Japanese Restaurant in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. Fresh food, fresh, delicious, world class chef, and an evening to remember.“

“Very nice experience with very tasty food. One problem was we had one very rude couple that showed up 25 minutes late and was watching loud YouTube videos and overall being very rude. I was celebrating my birthday and we were disrupted by this couple making remarks in Chinese which I could understand berating the chef for not giving him extra scallions as a side dish. I would suggest the host to either not allow them to dine after being so late or to at least tell them to be respectful“

“Amazing freshest sushi , best in the town , great service , and nice ambiance.“

“Hands down the best meal I have ever eaten. If you’re looking for quantity this is not it but if you relax and let your taste buds guide you it’s. Next level. Great service and food. Way too expensive though but it’s an experience… 5 starts“

“Not only is the omakase pretty legit here, shout out to Chef Bou for adjusting the rice when I mentioned I was getting full, but this is also a place I feel safe coming as a female solo diner.

Thank you Chelsea and Maddie. That's worth its weight in gold.“

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

“I absolutely love Lawrence Fish Market! I’ve ordered from them many times and they never disappoint. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, with amazing flavor and great quality. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable—especially considering how much food you get. It’s perfect for takeout, and everything is always beautifully packed and ready to enjoy. I highly recommend this place to any sushi lover. Definitely one of my favorite spots!“

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

“Fantastic Service and Delicious Sushi!

I had an amazing experience at this sushi restaurant! The waitresses were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced our dining experience.

The food was outstanding—the soup was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, making for a perfect start to the meal. I also tried the avocado roll, which was exceptionally fresh and of the highest quality. The avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy, complementing the sushi beautifully.

Overall, this restaurant delivers both excellent service and top-notch sushi. I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and great prices.“

“From start to finish Chef Michael and his team put out nothing short of an incredible edible experience. Every course impressed and left nothing to be desired. If we could bring Chef Michael home with us we would! He was able to secure the most amazing black-throated white perch! We will be back!“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“Takibi is a real gem! The sushi was amazing and delicious, made with fresh high quality ingredients, care and intentionality. It’s also a really cozy, cute and intimate space. And to top it all off, the prices were super reasonable given the quality of food! 10/10 highly recommend!!“

“The food is delicious and the drinks are great!! The atmosphere was amazing!!“

“I’ve been here twice for lunch and dinner. Both times the fish was perfect. Nigiri and Sashimi that is top of its class (fresh, large portions, perfectly prepared). This is one of the best sushi spots in Chicago and the prices are more reasonable than everywhere else (local or in the city). The Nigiri/Sashimi lunch is only $16 and very large. I had 12 different cuts of fish for dinner. I will definitely be back. Great food, great service, well done! Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Great, good service good food, no complaints“

“Delish and very fresh! So yummy!“

“Great place. The Onigiri and takoyaki were great to start with and then all the rolls were the perfect thing to split for the table. Our consensus was our favorite was the black ranger with orange and red close behind. We also tried the pink and green and while they weren't top 3 for us, still delicious and we finished them all. Great spot and BYOB was fantastic too.“

“Hands down, this was most incredible dining experience I've had the pleasure of tasting in my life. My husband was able to reserve a table for us same day, and while we waited to be seated in the sushi bar at the back, we were served a couple of delicious cocktails. Once seated, the real magic began!

I have never tasted such unique creations before. Each bite was exquisite, each fish's unique flavors complimented but not overwhelmed by the incredibly fresh ingredients atop each piece, expertly crafted and delightfully arranged. Omakase can be a bit of an intimidating experience, especially if you are not sure what you are getting. It can be an experiment in trust. I can say that after the first bite of sushi, the tartare, I wholeheartedly trusted whatever Chef Marcos wanted to put on my plate!

The sushi chefs were so talented and so friendly, answering all our questions about the food and more. I felt I got to know Chef Marcos in particular, who was both skilled, well traveled, and wicked fun to talk to. He even delighted me by speaking a bit of Vietnamese, which I found impressive and charming in equal amounts.

I cannot say enough about how mind-blowing this dining experience was. If I am ever back in Chicago, you can bet I will be back again to enjoy what new creations Chef Marcos has in store for the season.

Dietary restrictions: It is also of note that my husband has a shellfish allergy, and all chefs were incredibly careful in accommodating my husband's allergy, subbing out ingredients so that he wouldn't miss out on anything. I found their care and attention to detail to his allergy be very impressive, and I'm sure anyone with any dietary restrictions will find them equally accommodating. Just let them know when you make the reservation.“

“Excellent sushi in Lincoln Park. Staff is fabulous. We were treated like gold in the back cocktail room. A hidden gem!“

“It’s very pleasant and the food is delicious!“

“Ana was so great! We would come back and request her!!! The Michigan ave location is iconic but employees like Ana make it even better. Thanks Beni and ANA.“

“I was visiting Chicago last week and we had lunch at this lovely restaurant . Service was excellent and so were the main course dishes . Only reason I am giving a 4 star is because the desert - Strawberries and cream was really below average . When I asked if the strawberries were fresh I was told both fresh and frozen . The desert must have had 6 small cut up strawberry pieces . I wish I had not ordered it .“

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

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

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

“DELICIOUS SUSHI. Fresh, fast and good.“

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

“Best Japanese food in Chicago“

“Best sushi in town. The service is impeccable, the food presentation (& taste) resembles art, and the vibe/ambience is chic and intimate but also inviting, upbeat and relaxing. The staff is attentive, warm, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. 5 stars! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 ⭐️ ⭐️ hidden gem of Chicago!“

“Great place for Ramen. I’ll definitely go back for a date.“

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

“Had a great time last night. Thank you so very much!! Excellent!“

“Always an absolute amazing spot to visit when you have a sushi craving, the strawberry roll is a MUST! The owner is always so friendly and sweet, she remembers all her regulars and is a great time.

The pad Thai was also soooo good, can’t wait to try the entire menu!“

“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.“

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

“We were really excited to check out a new sushi place in our neighborhood, but honestly it was fine. We sat at the bar and ordered a few appetizers during happy hour. The miso soup was excellent! However, I think the bartender forgot about us for almost a half hour before we could order the rest of our meal. And we were one of 3 couples at the bar.

The fish itself was good (not bad), but I was underwhelmed. We paid 20 dollars for a maki rolls that was essentially shrimp tempera with a little salmon on top.“

“Best sushi! Friendly service!“

“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.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Wonderful dining experience. Excellent food and fantastic service. Service was top notch for a large group (12).“
