38 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'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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“I had a work lunch here and ordered the Sukiyaki, Udon, Ika, and Uni handroll. Everything was fresh and fantastic. I needed a copy of my receipt more than a month after I had dined with them, and the staff went out of their way to retrieve it and send it to me. I'm very excited to dine here again!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent. Been there at least 10 times“

“First place I ate dinner at when home shopping in the neighborhood. Been a regular for years now. Sushi is great, especially for the price. The owner is super nice. Really kind to my family and would ask about how my kids are doing when i did takeout during Covid. Will keep coming back.“

“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!“

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