50 Best Sushi Bars near Wilmette

“A one style take away restaurant — which is a good thing. This place does sushi with just a handful of ingredients in each of the expected formats — rolls, sushi, sashimi, etc. The menu has been the same for years, with only modest changes. The preparation is mostly traditional, it’s generally fresh and tasty (though there have been nights where something is off). The cooler almost always has some grab and go options; otherwise, order ahead to make the wait more predictable.“

“Cool.“

“Mariana, our waitress was wonderful. The teriyaki salmon combination was delicious, as well as the soft shell crab and tempura appetizer. The miso soup and cucumber salad that came with the combination was the best I have had. Topped it off with green tea and red beans ice cream. Mmmmmm!“

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

“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Delish and very fresh! So yummy!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“Great place to hangout and good sushi“

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

“Best Japanese food in Chicago“

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

“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).“

“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!“

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

“Great food and atmosphere. ❤️“

“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!“

“Jaiyen is a total neighborhood gem! The sushi is always fresh, but this is actually one of my favorite places to get beef teriyaki—the meat is incredibly tasty and the sauce is perfect. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, the quality is consistently great. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place. Great sushi with great prices!“

“Best sushi! Friendly service!“

Short wait time, ambient lighting, and kind staff.

Thank you for a delicious meal. 🌻“

“My wife and I had an incredible experience at Bluefish Bistro. We ordered sushi and everything was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seaweed salad deserves a special mention because it was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned and incredibly fresh.

The quality of the food really stood out, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves great sushi and top-notch food.“

“We stopped in during restaurant week and were very impressed by the menu they had. An incredible value for high quality fish and well composed courses. The tuna fireballs were a highlight along with the nigiri omakase. If you're looking for a new spot to check out, definitely stop in. Pat, the manager, and Mike, our server, were incredibly welcoming and enhanced our experience!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The first time I ever visited Ruk, the owner was incredibly nice and offered many recommendations on things to do, sights to see, & places to go as I’m not local to the area. We chatted for a while and I enjoyed the cashew pad Thai I ordered with peanut sauce. Going back year after year, Ruk is a staple for dinner the night I arrive in the city. Always nice to catch up and relax there.“

“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🥰🍷🍾“

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

“We ordered trays for a party and asked to make them pretty because we were using them as centerpieces. This isn’t something they typically do, but they decorated each tray beautifully for us for no extra charge. Everything was tasty, fresh, and done on time. This is a family business with a real heart.“

“THE BEST place for AYCE (all you can eat) sushi. I've been going here for almost 2 years and they never disappoint. Ordered out 3 or 4 times during the lock-down and they got my order perfectly right every time. They're open for dine-in again, very happy about that! The AYCE dinner menu includes appetizers, basic rolls, signature rolls, sushi, sashimi, and ice cream. Every single thing I've ever ordered has been high quality and absolutely delicious. Staff are very nice and the food comes out in good time. Our go-to spot, I recommend Sushi World to everyone I know!“

“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.“
