50 Best Sushi Bars near Winnetka

“A hidden gem! Jimoto Sushi delivers unique, flavorful twists on classic rolls. The seaweed salad + cream cheese combo was surprisingly great (8/10), the Hamachi was a standout (9.2/10), and the spicy tuna roll with wasabi aioli might be the best I’ve ever had (9.3/10!). The IPA was also a pleasant surprise—fruity, bold, and smooth (7.6/10). Not every roll was perfect, but overall this spot nails creativity and taste. 8.6/10 overall—highly recommended if you’re in Chicago.“

The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable—especially considering how much food you get. It’s perfect for takeout, and everything is always beautifully packed and ready to enjoy. I highly recommend this place to any sushi lover. Definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“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!“

“Takibi is a real gem! The sushi was amazing and delicious, made with fresh high quality ingredients, care and intentionality. It’s also a really cozy, cute and intimate space. And to top it all off, the prices were super reasonable given the quality of food! 10/10 highly recommend!!“

“I’ve been here twice for lunch and dinner. Both times the fish was perfect. Nigiri and Sashimi that is top of its class (fresh, large portions, perfectly prepared). This is one of the best sushi spots in Chicago and the prices are more reasonable than everywhere else (local or in the city). The Nigiri/Sashimi lunch is only $16 and very large. I had 12 different cuts of fish for dinner. I will definitely be back. Great food, great service, well done! Highly recommended.“

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

“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.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

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

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

“Parking: There is a parking garage directly under the restaurant, taking the elevator up brings you right next to the patio. There were plenty of parking spots.

Wheelchair accessibility: The two sets of doors into the restaurant are not automatic, but the restaurant is very wheelchair accessible otherwise, and parking in the garage below, you're able to take an elevator up easily.“

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

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

“fantastic tiny place but the food sushi huge selection and ramen are great. I have such a nice experience Everytime I go there. The owners Akira and Kathy are THE NICEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. REALLY PLEASANT! I go next door for a pedi and I just feel so relaxed and nice going in this mini strip mall. I really recommend both. if your having a crappy day go get a pedi and enjoy some great sushi or ramen. it's a counter place but it has its own charm and coziness. they use to own the restaurant in Wilmette but downsized. so help keep this gem and go often.😀“

“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!“

“Our family has been coming here for over a decade; at least a couple of times/month. Every single time the food has been consistently great and the sushi is fresh. The staff know exactly who I am when I am there and always get the “Red Carpet” treatment.“

“Ora is a fantastic sushi restaurant with FRESH fish and excellent service. Definitely a go to for date night.“

“Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend!“

“The absolute best neighborhood sushi place I've ever come across! How is their product so fresh!?! (Super H Mart is two miles away) The family owned business is one of my favorites in my 'hood. Intimate, clean, and welcoming it's just the Best!“

“Always great and fresh sushi here. Keep in mind this isn't a sit-down spot and is strictly a take out place. Not much options if you were to walk in as you are required to order ahead (which can take some time ~ buffer at least 60 minutes ahead)

Parking: Somewhat difficult depending on time. The free parking lot doesn't have a lot of space.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had in the Chicago area. The ingredients are fresh and high quality, the price is affordable and the portions are large. The owners are also very sweet. Definitely a hidden gem, I always make it a point to stop by whenever I’m in the area.“

“I really like this place! I had the Tantanmen ramen and chicken karaage and both were bomb. Great service too. We were seated quickly and our food came out in under 10 mins. 5/5 stars in my book!“

“This sushi restaurant is a gem right here on Western the longest street in the universe fun fact, western runs plenty of miles one of the longest streets in America. Where can find abundance of restaurants and foods that come into your drive however, gorilla sushi is a heart of the north side of heart of sushi this is the only place you need to come to when it’s time to get busy with your sushi and your chopsticks. I suggest you come here only do not wish your time and other sushi places, they are not as valuable and food is not worth the price. Other places only come to gorilla sushi here on western where you will find the most fares prices realistic food and however, the service is amazing.“

“First time trying Nobori, and I must say the Sushi was amazing. The owner Nobori was kind, friendly, and attentive. To start, we ordered edamame, and miso soup. One of the best miso soups I've had. Edamame was streaming hot, and yummy. We ordered Ramen miso soup, which was really tasty. For sushi we ordered, the Patrick roll, Galapagos roll, and sushi/sashimi combo that comes with spicy tuna rolls. For dessert we ordered green tea ice cream. All the rolls were phenomenal. We will def be back.“

“Awesome. Kid friendly. Portions were generous and fresh. Can't wait to come back.“

“A small place but the sushi & rolls are so good !
I ordered the Lunch special A - 3 rolls and B - Futo maki. Couldn't finish it, so I brought the left over and ate it. Many Americans were enjoying! Thank you for the owner !

Vegetarian options: Many rolls and more menus !
And we can ask what ingredients to add and remove from the original ingredients.“

“Fresh, Fresh, Fresh Seafoods! Great Service! Tasty foods.“

“I’ve never been so glad to miss my L stop in my life.! This place is awesome. Very reasonable sushi freshly made and delicious and the Thai iced tea was awesome too! Super exceptionally fast and friendly service I will definitely be back!“

“First of all, I hope this restaurant stays in Chicago for a long time. I tried the braised cutlassfish, and it was incredibly delicious. I never thought I would find such tasty cutlassfish in Chicago. Having lived near the ocean in Korea before moving to this landlocked city, I've had a hard time finding food that reminds me of home. But I think I've finally found the right place. May this restaurant prosper for a long time??

First of all, I hope this house stays in Chicago for a long time!! I had braised cutlassfish and salted fish, and the braised cutlassfish was particularly delicious. The altang was delicious too! I never expected to eat such delicious cutlassfish in Chicago... Thank you so much! I used to live near the ocean in Korea, but when I moved to Chicago, which is on the mainland, I had a hard time because the food didn't suit my taste, but I think I've finally found the right home. I ate it with my friends and kept saying exclamations of admiration? The owner was also very kind!! May you prosper for a long time... ???“

“Absolutely amazing food. The Gyoza was the best I've ever had and the Crispy Basil Chicken was delicious. Looking forward to going back and trying their sushi. Highly recommend.“

“Great Fresh Sushi. A very popular place, so expect a wait. But the staff is quick and attentive. Skilled chefs. One of few Sushi places that do not add extra rice as fillers to make the Maki or Sushi seem bigger. Bottom line ..... Good Food.“

“Wonderful, authentic, beautiful Japanese sushi & food with a fantastic, hands on owner & exceptional service.“

“have eaten here for many years. I am aware of the new management but we will continue to come to the eat at RengaTei“

“I had been scared off from trying this for a while with the bad reviews, and I regret waiting so long. For the midwest, this is an incredibly high quality conveyor belt sushi joint. The ingredients are well sourced and the tech works seamlessly so that you can get anything on the menu within a five minute wait. I mostly ordered from the tablet vs the belt as I wanted to enjoy the many seared nigiri options fresh, and all of the seafood was excellent. The beef nigiri were not my favorite, but that isn't a surprise given the price point. I love the food, the variety of more traditional sushi options, and the fact that I can do so quickly without a whole lot of interpersonal interaction for a fast lunch.“

“Excellent. Been there at least 10 times“

“The widest selection of Sushi grade seafood Ive seen on a menu in a Long time- all very fresh and very generously portioned! Octopus and salmon Sashimi were the dessert orders from our kids 😂 We will definetly be returning, and highly recommend. Servers, Host, Owner, entire staff was extremely attentive- and to top it all they were happily and safely able to accomodate my childs severe dairy and peanut allergies (first sushi experience for him, and we Love seafood, so huge win for the whole family 🙌🏼)“

“We liked very much. We strongly recommend“

“Insanely delicious and fresh sushi.“

“Everything I tried at this sushi restaurant was excellent. The fish was incredibly fresh, and every dish had amazing flavor. You can really taste the quality. The service was also great—friendly, attentive, and fast. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic, delicious sushi!“

“Best steak ever!!! It was an extremely tender rib eye - packed with flavor and cooked to the correct temp. Their mashed potatoes were divine and the Bordeaux was exquisite. As someone who DOESN’T keep kosher this was better than any steakhouse I’ve been to in the suburbs + city ?? Lincolnwood has THE best restaurants in the world. No one can tell me otherwise.“

“We had a great meal here! The food was super fresh and tasty, and the staff was really nice, suggesting dishes that fit our diet. It's a family-friendly spot, and we left feeling really happy. We'll definitely be back! Thank you!!“

“Good food with good asmosphere. I really recommend this restaurant if you are in a mood of craving yummy food!“

“I love the place but friendly advice have a reservations“
