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.“

“Absolutely amazing!!!! The very best kosher restaurant I’ve ever been to! Kosher fine dining at its finest! My husband and I agree it was the best meal we’ve ever had. He had the surprise steak which was phenomenal! I had the short ribs which were perfection! We enjoyed soups, appetizers, sushi, the works. Just when we thought we were full to the brim and could not squeeze one more but in, I couldn’t resist the dessert menu. Somehow we practically managed to lick the plate of peanut butter mousse clean! It was the most wonderful evening! The ambience is wonderful! The service is superior to any other place I’ve been to. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“We absolutely love coming here! The service is always very friendly, professional, and welcoming. The place is clean, the food is consistently delicious, and everything we order arrives quickly. This is our favorite location — we visit at least once every two weeks. Highly recommend!“

“Yummy food and good service.“

“Delicious pho, my daughter is a huge pho fan and she loved it. The gyoza and fresh tasting veggie shrimp rolls in rice paper with peanut sauce on the side were equally as good.

The Kung pao chicken was better than any I’ve had at the surrounding Chinese restaurants in the Skokie/Morton Grove/Glenview area. HUGE portions. Extremely reasonable prices. Kenny the owner is an incredibly nice and inviting person.“

“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“

“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!!“

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

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“The speakeasy vibe of this location was dope and upscale. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated in a comfy lounge area to wait for seating. The chef was attentive and friendly as well as the staff, especially the hostess. The food was great and the vibe was nice. We will definitely return.“

“This was my second time coming and my husband's first time. we went for our anniversary and it was FANTASTIC. Chef Naomi is a true artisan who brings flair, creativity and personality to make such a wonderful experience. There was one of the additional chefs (cannot remember his name but I know he is Korean) that also created such a fun experience (he is so funny) but watching him was like watching a sculptor craft an edible piece. It was WONDERFUL“

“Ive been to 3 Omakases one of which was in Japan.

All were really really great but Kyoten Next Door was phenomenal. I not only left full (rarity for me 🫄🏻) but each course was unexplainably good and chef Jorge was funny, kind, and knowledgeable!

Definitely worth the money for the service and food you get. Finding the location was iffy at first because there’s no signs or anything and it looks like it’s abandoned but once you get in it’s super super nice and cozy.

Will be going back for sure!“

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

“Decided to treat myself to The Omakase Room for my birthday, and it was amazing! The staff were so kind and attentive, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was great. The chefs are incredibly talented. Would highly recommend to anyone!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“Great, good service good food, no complaints“

“We did the omakase experience. Overall quite good, the fish was very good and high quality. The wasabi level on the pieces was inconsistent, mostly very pleasant but at times overpowering. We weren't a fan of the uni/roe course but that is of course personal preference (however as a big fan of uni i was slightly disappointed). Overall very good and attentive service. The tuna pieces were OUTSTANDING.“

“I've tried all of the highest rated sushi spots in Chicago and Takibi absolutely takes the #1 spot for me. It's everything you want from sushi ... fresh and delicious ingredients prepared in front of you by an expert in his craft. The head chef is incredible and their sense of hospitality is amazing. It's a small location with a lot of heart. Takibi has been a place I've gone with my partner to celebrate, to mourn, or just to have a nice night out. If you haven't been you have to go here.“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“Writing this review before I even take a step outside! What a sweet find! Awesome local place, with great vibes, and even greater food! Really nice pad Thai, very fresh sushi, great service, and quite the pleasant ambience! Highly recommend you check this place out if you’re in the area! Great portions for the price as well!“

“Happened to see this place nearby when I was in town for a couple days and I’m so glad I went! I don’t even usually like French toast but their French toast was amazing. Service is great, atmosphere is nice, but the food is some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had (and I have tried many vegan places in most east coast cities). An absolute must-visit if you’re in Chicago looking for vegan dining. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-09“

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

“Absolutely loved my experience at Neta Sushi in Park Ridge. The Sushi Sashimi Bento was perfectly prepared with beautiful cuts of fresh fish. You can tell the chefs really care about quality. The Truffle Yuzu Salmon was amazing—light, citrusy, and elegant. The Wasabi Tuna roll was a standout with its crispy shrimp tempura and flavorful tuna topping. Definitely coming back soon!“

“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.“

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

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

“Delish and very fresh! So yummy!“

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

“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!“

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

“DELICIOUS SUSHI. Fresh, fast and good.“

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

“The rice definitely stands out (one of the best rice you get) in this place and the fishes are very fresh. Some of the initial preparations were very well executed also. However there was no uncommon fish or anything extraordinary to make this place special, justifying the high price. Though for first timers, this place will provide authentic Omakase Sushi experience.“

“I brought my 13 year old daughter here for our 1st time and we ordered 16 sushi balls. They were all amazing and super fresh! I would recommend this place to anyone! The price is absolutely right! The staff were friendly and ordering was super easy. I can’t wait to come back!“

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

“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!“

“Really incredible place with great vibes and awesome food. We did the lucky roll and got the chef’s choice and it was both beautiful and delicious. All the rolls we selected were fantastic. We’re kind of basic though.

Also, let’s be honest, anything is better than forcing a gorilla to make sushi for humans. It was a neat trick, yeah. But I’m surprised that establishment lasted as long as it did.

Anyway, Lucky is significantly better.“

“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.“

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

“Walked into the establishment during a weekday whilst the lunch special ($24.99 AYCE Sushi!) and was greeted as seated fast. Staff was accommodating to our requests and service was very timely. Stuck with the nigiri for most of our stay and it was very enjoyable, (smoked salmon was the table favorite). Good area to be around and the restaurant was clean, no complaints. Recommend this for a quick meal and very cheap!“
