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 have been to a few revolving sushi spots, this by far, tops all of them! All of the seafood was fresh and tender. Soooo delicious. I ate enough for 2, and I went alone. Easy to pop open the tops and fun to order off the menu. Loved that there was an slot to get rid of your plates so they don’t stack up. Would absolutely go again.“

“I have no idea why anyone would give this place one star. We went this afternoon for lunch and the food was delicious. We had the Branzino which was tasty and plentiful. In fact, I took half of it home for another meal. We split the dessert - chocolate chip cookie with ice cream (pareve) and chocolate sauce - to die for.\n\nThe waitress, Olga, was more than pleasant, she was competent and friendly and it was a pleasure to be her customer. The restaurant was beautiful and the booths are very private and comfortable.\n\nWe will go back here in a second. Not too many great restaurants around these days. This is a gem!!“

“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“

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

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

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

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“We enjoyed the 12-course set plus 3 additional personalized pieces curated by Chef Yang—favorites included the miso black cod and seared salmon belly courses. Excellent service from Roger and Tashon. Great art deco lounge atmosphere; highly recommend.“

“I seriously wanted to give this place a 5 star rating. But one star got away because the evening went by super fast. I meant just approximately 75 minutes for the 18 course dinner.

This is not a pure Sushi (Nigiri) Omakase place, rather a part French-part Kaiseki-part Nigiri Omakase style place. The chefs don't skimp on ingredients and everything is top quality. The taste is excellent as well as the execution. The service is shuttle yet never lacking. Yet, the dishes show up one after another without a break.

If the actual dinner time could be stretched out to 100 minutes, this place is destined to be a wholesome experience.“

“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“

“Great, good service good food, no complaints“

“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.“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

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

“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.“

“Oh my god I got the torched and pressed sushi roll with avocado and truffle and it's one of the best things I've ever tasted. The truffle flavor with miso is an incredible flavor combination. The interior is really pretty as well, and they have a ramp at the entrance so it's pretty wheelchair friendly. The tables are a little close together so navigating inside was slightly awkward with my mobility device, but it wasn't difficult to push some chairs out of the way. I will definitely be coming back here and I will definitely be ordering the torched and press roll again.“

“Delish and very fresh! So yummy!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Best Japanese food in Chicago“

“DELICIOUS SUSHI. Fresh, fast and good.“

“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!“

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

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

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

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

“The Sushi was fresh, the flavors were bold and the rice was fluffy. Will be back for sure and the staff was so friendly and welcoming.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“
