50 Best Sushi Bars near Skokie

“This place truly lives up to its name with flavors and craftsmanship that match its reputation.

I recently discovered an incredibly amazing sushi spot. It is easily one of the best I’ve ever been to. Everything is unbelievably fresh and full of flavor, and the sauces are absolutely amazing.

The staff is very friendly, and Justin, the owner, gave perfect menu recommendations. His culinary skill genuinely impressed me, and I can confidently say that from now on, this is the only place where I’ll be eating sushi.

I highly recommend the Angry Tuna Roll, Liger Roll, and Poke Nacho. Every single one was outstanding.

If you love sushi, this place is an absolute must-visit.“

“Food was Amazing! Server was attentive, except for forgetting to get one of our orders (we were a large group). But everything came out good in the end.
There is also a children's menu that fit our tastes wonderfully though that is not displayed anywhere. On the menu are chicken tenders, pasta, a small burger and a hot dog“

“Yummy food and good service.“

“We’ve been here 8 times and still have not had a bad meal. Pro tips: if you don’t see what you want on the conveyor belt, order it direct to your table. It’s more fun to have 1 check and 4 people: that way, extra prizes and little cartoon shorts. Service is a little slow so I try to order drinks when first seated.“

“Always a pleasure visiting this restaurant. Great food, nice people.

This Vietnamese restaurant offers Japanese dishes too. We always enjoy their wide varieties of food; the servers are always friendly and food served just on time. The quality and the quantity of the food was always reasonable to the price.

I highly recommend trying their sweet potato tempura, egg roll and bbq pork spring rolls.
Their smoothies are delicious too and I believe they use real fruits.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“We loved the experience at Sushi by Scratch. PJ guided a beautiful night with his Japanese whisky and cocktail selection. The space is unique as a true speakeasy 20 feet below ground.

The chef-curated sushi was a 10/10. It was an unforgettable dining experience.“

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

“Creative veg based menus, gourmet flavors- must try. As a person with food allergies, I have to thoroughly laud Planta Queen for their magnificent labeling. Every time I come here, I let them know about a coconut allergy, and they bring me a menu with items crossed off that I cannot have or circled that I can. This is So helpful. I can gratefully enjoy their absolutely one of a kind sushi selections fully confident that I won't be served anything I am allergic to. Planta Queen also does an excellent job with special occasion/holiday menus. We just happened to stop in on Mother's day and were treated to a special menu, once again made aware of what options we could have that were allergen safe. The dishes just kept coming out and they were all so delicious. My personal favorites, red dragon roll, and the cesar salad. But really, I'd eat any of their sushi all day long. It is so good! The one dessert I can have is a cookie, which is ok as far as giant chocolate chip cookies go. I'm not a fan of the rectangular chunks of salt that it is topped with, but maybe it can be ordered without.“

“Did the full-on omakase, and it was a treat. The limited seating brings an air of simplicity and elegance to the dinner. Each piece had its own explanation, and there was give-and-take with the chef as he prepared each course. It was fun and entertaining, and I would absolutely bring my friends/family here the next time an opportunity arises.“

“Really good and fresh sushi at great prices. Love this place.“

“The service from the Gold Coast staff! Chef non was spectacular he paid extra attention and took the time to interact with the entire group. Tashon, Chelsea, and Roger were amazing and super fun to have dined with this night!! Highly recommended for everyone“

“Had such a lovely experience at Omakase Room—it was truly a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience. I visited in the spring, and every course was absolutely delightful. The intimate atmosphere made the meal feel even more special, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable sushi experience!🌟“

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

It is clear that the team here is passionate about their craft, as the food is consistently fresh, expertly seasoned, and presented with great care. I place an incredibly high premium on kitchen cleanliness and dining area maintenance, and I am consistently impressed by how tidy, well-organized, and professionally kept this space is—it creates a pristine, comfortable, and welcoming environment that allows you to fully enjoy your meal without any distractions. The staff is friendly, efficient, and does a wonderful job of providing attentive, professional service. If you are looking for a reliable, top-tier dining experience that prioritizes both culinary excellence and the highest standards of cleanliness, I cannot recommend Takibi highly enough!“

“Alexis was our omakase chef and he was amazing! The food itself was really great and fresh with unique toppings- specifically the king salmon, sweet shrimp, and otoro. Alexis was also super friendly and provided us with an extra piece of sushi (because it was our first time trying uno and I wasn’t the biggest fan) to make up for it! 10/10 on all fronts“

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

“We were so excited to have found this new place for yummy sushi poke bowl! We adore that modernized look of the restaurant and there are a lot of variety of poke bowls to choose from. My boys like the mushroom and California rolls sushi while I enjoyed the spicy hot fish poke bowl a lot. The staff and owner were super friendly and nice. The place was stylish, neat and clean. The sashimi was fresh and delicious! The food was served fast and the price was reasonable too. We are definitely coming back!“

“I tried Ekiben for the first time after driving by the other day. I ordered a roll and donburi to go and immediately loved them seeing that the food came in paper container, not plastic! Both rolls and donburi were excellent. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Japanese food!“

“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.“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“Crab Rangoon and chicken satay was great.
I couldn't decide between pad ke mao and panag curry, they had a panang wide noodle hybrid dish but it was more like thin panang soup Instead of A stir fry. I wouldn't order it again.
Service was great.“

“Amazing sushi... unique offerings, and ultra delicious. i seriously think about my next visit waaaay too much...“

“This place deserves 10 stars! The Sushi Sashimi Bento at Neta Sushi is fantastic with chef’s choice sushi and sashimi that melts in your mouth. The California roll and salad complete the meal perfectly. I also ordered the Truffle Yuzu Salmon, which had a beautiful balance of citrus and truffle flavor. The Wasabi Tuna roll with shrimp tempura and spicy tuna was bold and delicious. Amazing sushi spot in Park Ridge!“

“The sushi was amazing, it tasted so fresh, and the staff was really friendly too!! Loved the presentation for each roll we ordered, it was beautiful!!“

“The dining experience was amazing! My colleague and I visited Evie while attending a conference, based on a recommendation from our hotel concierge. Hats off to the chef—the food was amazing. We sampled several dishes and started with a glass of Jacques Sancerre. The lobster roll was perfectly seasoned, the signature sushi roll was delicious, and the smoked carrots were outstanding. We finished with the wild berry sorbet, which was another delight. Our window seat overlooking Michigan Avenue made the experience even more memorable.“

“Amazing food!! Love!! It’s the best“

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

“I’m glad I gave Oki Sushi a try. The fish tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and finding parking was surprisingly easy. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and a great value. Looking forward to coming back.“

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

“Awesome place! Very cozy and quaint. Good music. Don was serving and cooking. Don really puts a lot of pride and care into his cooking. Service was outstanding! I came in towards closing and I was still treated as if I was the first customer to come in for the day. I had the BK Zilla. The taste, quality and presentation was phenomenal. Absolutely will be coming back with my family and friends. Thank you Don, great work! I appreciate you!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I called ahead on a Tuesday for their dinner reservations, we were told they weren't busy that night so we went ahead and made the one hour drive just for their sushi and their great reviews. We had the best experience and their sushi was truly top notch. We basically ordered everything on the menu from sushi, caviar to desserts and drinks. they did not disappoint, customer service was superb. The owner even came outside to attend us, he showed up with his own bottle of sake. I truly appreciate the great experience we had at this beautiful and clean restaurant. I have nothing bad to say, the food was high quality and extremely delicious. I definitely recommend this location, even if you have kids which I did. We left so happy and satisfied, loved it.“

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