36 Best Sushi Bars near Winnetka

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Great place to hangout and good sushi“

“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!“

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

“What a great place for some really good and well prepared Sushi. I was given so much food and the Benton box was superb. Hudson the server was on point and the lunch time experience was fantastic. the bus service guys, who rarely get mentioned, were attentive and very very professional. Thanks guys“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“I love reviewing and eating Japanese food, and being from Japan, I find it very difficult to come across truly authentic Japanese cuisine. Most American Japanese restaurants barely scratch the surface of what Japanese food really is.

This place not only captured the atmosphere of a real Japanese restaurant, but the food itself was genuinely close to what you’d find in Japan. I had the pleasure of ordering the Zaru Soba Tempura, and I honestly haven’t had authentic tempura in a long time. I’m happy to say it exceeded my expectations, the food was outstanding.

What made the experience even better was that the waiter spoke to us in Japanese, which really showed the restaurant’s respect for the culture and added to the authenticity.

Japanese authenticity rating (if this restaurant were in Japan): 7.8/10
American-Japanese restaurant rating: 8.9/10

Overall, this place is amazing and absolutely worth visiting.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend!“

“AMAZING! this is truly one of the best sushi i have ever had! such a gem in Morton Grove. if you love sushi or have never tried 100% try this awesome spot. staff is so sweet and they’re very fast with your order! I got the shrimp tempura and volcano salmon maki rolls and they were 10/10! will be coming here much more often“

“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!“

“best sushi in the chicagoland area for me! this little stall inside Hmart Niles’ food court is such a hidden gem. my husband and i actually come here once a week now, it’s officially become our comfort-food spot. i’m not a raw-sushi person at all, but they have amazing cooked options. i'm obsessed with the salmon yaki roll. seriously, it’s that good, always fresh and consistent.

we chatted with the owner once, and he told us he even makes the wasabi from scratch. the wasabi alone deserves an award, so flavorful, not the harsh store-bought kind. the owner is almost always there, making the sushi himself and running things with such a friendly vibe. he truly deserves recognition. this is literally the only sushi my stomach can tolerate, so that says a lot.

and it’s not just the sushi. their entrées are unforgettable too. my husband swears by the chicken katsu: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the portion/price is super fair.

definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“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!“

“Excellent. Been there at least 10 times“

“You will not disappointed!!! High quality and very fresh, super delicious. I have never failed with any menu with Chef Justin. Very reasonable price and luxurious presentations! He is very popular for private parties and catering. One of the BEST sushi in town!!“

“This is a regular spot for me and my friends. We’ve been coming here for years.

Today we went and my pregnant niece came and we mentioned that. They made sure to wash their hands, changed their gloves, and got a new board to prepare her California roll. It was so considerate and I will always recommend this spot!“

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

“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.“

“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!“
