50 Best Sushi Bars near Wilmette

“#1 Sushi place for me. SO FRESH and delicious 😋. The quality here is top notch, from the to-go sushi in the fridge to the specialized sushi you can order at the counter. I especially loved the hand rolls because they were huge and so fresh. There are so many options for specialty rolls, maki, poke, and vegetarian options as well. I also tried the mochi for dessert and it was so good. Whenever I crave quick sushi I think of this place. Such a great place in the north shore for easy sushi for reasonable price and amazing taste! 🍣🍨🍙 Just from the pictures you can tell this quality is superb.“

“Cool.“

“Akai Hana has been in business for over 30 years, and the steady traffic means the sushi is fresh and safe, offered at a good price. However, the ambiance is lacking, with an outdated, cafeteria-like vibe and cheap-looking menus. It’s a solid spot for a quick, no-frills sushi meal, but not the place for a special dining experience.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Delish and very fresh! So 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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Great place to hangout and good sushi“

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

“Best Japanese food in Chicago“

“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.“

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

“OMG. Had dinner here last night. Quaint intimate spot, tucked away on a quiet tree lined street in Ravenswood We had the Seared Tuna Salad, Dragon (spicy shrimp rolls), and the Krispy Spicy Crab roll. Great service, giant portions, tiny bill 🔸️🔸️ Can't wait to dine on the patio this summer. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

Short wait time, ambient lighting, and kind staff.

Thank you for a delicious meal. 🌻“

“Crab Rangoon 🦀, East roll 🍣, Hibachi steak & lobster dinner combo 🥩🦞🍚🍤 We’ve ordered delivery at least 3x and each time the quality and quantity are amazing. We can’t wait to dine in person.“

“Welcome to Elmhurst! My poke bowl was amazing and my kids loved their sushi! So fresh and good! We will be back.“

“Folks with celiac disease are often out of luck at Japanese restaurants, but Jimoto makes dining a total joy. Items are clearly marked with allergens, and tamari sauce is available in lieu of soy. Everything was very tasty, particularly the hamachi sashimi and the Chicago fire roll. Presentation is quietly elegant. Our new favorite north shore restaurant.“

“We ordered two mixed drinks, and a variety of maki. The Chicago Crunchy Crazy roll was our favorite! The spice level on the spicy salmon maki roll was actually spicy which was refreshing. The matcha creme brulee was also one we'll be back for! The drinks were amazing and not why we went so a very pleasant surprise! Pat served us and I think was also our bartender (we came soon after they opened so pretty empty). She let us take our time so we never felt rushed and she was very attentive. Good local business and we'll be back!“

“The best sushi spot in Evanston. They flew in a 200 lb tuna from Japan.“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and service. Will definitely be back“

“I recommend that you order everything on the menu, everything is delicious 😋“

“Nobori Sushi is a sleek, welcoming spot that blends traditional Japanese charm with a modern, relaxed vibe. The sushi here is consistently fresh and beautifully presented — every roll feels thoughtfully crafted rather than rushed. The Nigiri and sashimi stand out in particular, with melt-in-your-mouth texture and clean, balanced flavors.

Service is polite and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff seems genuinely proud of what they serve. The menu offers a nice mix of creative rolls alongside classic favorites, and the prices feel fair for the quality you’re getting.

The ambiance is calm and intimate, perfect for either a quiet dinner or a casual night out. If anything, a few of the cooked dishes could use a touch more seasoning, but that’s a minor note in an otherwise excellent meal.

Overall, Nobori Sushi earns a solid four stars — a dependable go-to for quality sushi, great service, and a pleasant dining experience.“

“I Love coming all the time for Lunchtime and dinner 🥰It's so good🥰🍷🍾“

“We’ve been going to Dempster Fish for years and years, and it’s still our absolute favorite. It’s always super fresh, very well prepared, and it’s absolutely fantastic. We drive 90 minutes round trip just to have it. Better than any of the super expensive places in the suburbs. Very highly recommend!!“

“The food was good and the service no complaint the atmosphere was really good too I always like to go there to eat. They greet you when you walk in and they thank you for coming in.

Vegetarian options: The vegetables are very good to eat.“

“Nice and cozy sushi bar. Great food!! Recommended“

“My all time favorite sushi place! Owners are such incredible people who are working so hard and they have so many regular customers for a reason. If you haven’t tried this spot you really should.

My must haves are mussels and volcano roll but of course I always order another roll accompanied by miso soup. Sometimes if there is space and you want something sweet you should try mango maki.“
