50 Best Sushi Bars near Elmwood Park

“Food was delicious. We wanted to find a ramen spot and we were not disappointed in our orders. It would have been nice to have more than the two options for ramen, but it was well prepared and flavorful. The noodles I especially enjoyed, since they were a little chewy. We also had appetizers and a miso soup, which was also very yummy. Service was reasonable and responsive. Music was modern and pop, too.“

“The food here is simply amazing from start to finish in each bite you taste the authentic way. The portions are reasonably great. The atmosphere is even better. The service is Top-tier The picture below is a takeout order with a combination of chicken, fried rice, sweet-and-sour chicken, Mongolian beef and of course, an eggroll. This is a family owned business located right in the heart of Elmwood Park on North Avenue if you have not tried them for or carry out or delivery what are you waiting for because you’re missing out hibachi, which is located in their back dining area separate they offer Specialty drinks to your Vikings this is one of my favorite“

“Best sushi I've had outside of Japan! Sometimes, omakase and high-end sushi spots try to get too crazy with their menu, but KND is simple, focusing on the quality of the dish. Our chef was very skilled and gave us a rundown of where they acquire all their fresh ingredients. The sake also paired wonderfully with the sushi. Our 16-course omakase was the perfect amount. A great place for a special occasion.“

“Wonderful service and excellent rolls!! Overall great experience“

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

“So good and very friendly^^“

“What can I tell you! 5 rolls for $45. Better than most OVERPRICED rolls at restaurants. Always fresh and they don't hold back on the contents.Don't play with the meter maids on Lawrence, they write tickets like it's a contestThis is the BEST place for party trays BTW“

“The Next Neighborhood Hot Spot:This restaurant recently opened and it did not disappoint. If you don’t want to fight long waits at 7:30PM on a Friday night, give Wave a try! (Although I imagine when word gets out, there will be lines to deal with).SERVICE: From the warmth of the greeting to the prompt efficient service, we had an all around great experience.ATMOSPHERE & VIBE: The decor is cozy, hip, and relaxing. The background music is a cross between Island music/The Girl From Ipanema meets Rock N Roll…in fact, part of the fun was trying to figure what song was being covered…the volume was just loud enough to provide ambience without impeding conversation.FOOD: Simple yet complex, light in textures but flavorful - very nicely executed. Faves: Truffle Tuna (Taco) Appetizer was perfection - delicate shell with loads of tuna and the truffle ponzu rounds it all out. Prime Short Rib could serve as an an entree or easily shared. I recommend sharing to spread the wealth! Again, each element blended beautifully - tender short rib, comforting miso polenta, and the playful mushrooms all played their role.Dietary restrictions: They had regular, low sodium, and gluten free soy sauce.“

“DO NOT SLEEP ON THE SIGNATURE NIGIRI. FIRE EMOJI, FIRE EMOJI, FIRE EMOJI =P Ari Sushi offers traditional and elevated modern sushi rolls, nigiri and some cooked kitchen items. It is a small and locally owned spot with about 30-35 indoor dining seats. They do not have a full bar however they do offer Japanese beer, wine and sake. They do have 1 cocktail called the 'high ball' which is a whiskey and ginger based drink. The decor/atmosphere could use some love. The quality of sushi is top notch and excellent yet the vibe fell short. I will say that the light fixtures were very nice but the rest of the place could use an upgrade. The tables, chairs, booths and walls could use some TLC. Using cloth napkins vs paper napkins would also provide a more sophisticated dining experience. Service was consistent and attentive. Even the chefs checked in on us a few times during our meal. This shows he truly cares about his customers and their time at his restaurant. All staff members were friendly and helpful. This was my first time there and felt comfortable throughout. Back to the nigiri. OMG OMG OMG, the portion, quality, presentation and flavor. STOP ITTTTTT. My fiance and I tried 3 different signature options - the big eye tuna, zuke salmon and madai. I would come back just for the nigiri and to hang out with chef ari. We also ordered a few signature rolls - Hamachi Yellowtail, Golden Lobster & Rainbow Dragon. They were equally delicious and of great quality when compared to nigiri. Of the 3 my favorite was the Golden Lobster and my fiance's was the Rainbow Dragon. The ratio of rice to fish was great and wasn't overly filled with rice. Ari Sushi offers half portion and full portion rolls. In my opinion it's waaaay worth it to always order full portions. I meannn, why would you do that to yourself?! Hehe“

“It’s very pleasant and the food is delicious!“

“Amazing AYCE sushi. Presentation is top notch. Perfect date spot for those hungry for sushi.“

“Loved it! Stopped by after a movie for some light dinner, and left very satisfied! The Takoyaki were delicious, as were the Toyko and Shogun donburi. The server was very good, efficient and polite. The kitchen got our food out quickly and our dishes were plated carefully and in a visually appealing way - the impression we got was that the whole staff really cares about what they are doing. We will definitely be back!“

“In my view, Ora is far and away the best sushi spot in Chicago, and among the best restaurants period. The quality of the fish and the attention to detail in preparation are outstanding. On top of that, they've got great service, reasonable prices, and it's BYOB. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!“

“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.“

“my order consisted of two bowls and a milk tea and the best way to summarize it Fresh and Delicious.“

“Good atmosphere and nice place to dine in“

“California man says Yes, and highly recommend here“

“The Sushi was absolutely delicious .“

“Ordered from them for some quick lunch. Prices were unbeatable, and the quality of food was incredible. Really can tell a lot about sushi just from the rice, and the rice was spot on. Would highly recommend giving them your business. They are take-out only at this time though. Thank you so much for a delicious lunch!“

“Great welcome by hostesses even though we arrived before opening time; she sat us immediately. The Rolls and Sashimi are standard good. Server was not very knowledgeable of menu. Our friends do know the place and ordered a “black rice” that is different. Had a nice bottle of Gruner wine. Overall a good experience“

“My husband and I came here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and will definitely be back. Our server was friendly, knowledgable, and attentive and we ordered the pork belly appetizer; wagyu beef, black cod, and rice hot pot for entrees; and ginger spice cake and ube pot de creme for dessert - everything was absolutely delicious!“

“So much to love. Many tasty options and it's BYOB!“

“Every time I dine in at Izakaya Sankyu, I walk out full and happy! For the longest time, Kitakata was my favorite places for Japanese appetizers and drinks, as well as the occasional "comfort food" entrée, and I was sad when they closed. There still a number of places that filled in the gap, but I feel like Izakaya Sankyu is the one that checks the most boxes. They have lots of great small bites to share with friends like kushiyaki, takoyaki, tempura fried croquettes, fresh & pickled veggies, sautéed butter mushrooms, dumplings (their gyoza was shumai had a fantastic crisp to them), seared / roasted meats (the unagi and beef were great), crispy chicken wings, maki, and they had my personal favorites - chazuke bowls, zosui bowls, and Osaka-style okonomiyaki!Pair these with soju cocktails (the sparkling hard yuzu-ade was awesome), $5 Asahi cans, Sapporo samplers, a huge selection of sake, and several varieties of Japanese and western whisky for a fun time. If it's not time to get crunk, they have teas, sodas, and virgin cocktails. If you're particularly hungry, you can fill up on excellent udon, ramen, soba, and a good variety of dinner entrées. I particularly enjoyed their grilled seafood, their Japanese spin on Korean buchimgae (chijimi?), and their generous chirashi. I've had a few bites of their teriyaki dinners, and they seemed on point as well.I wish I lived closer to Izakaya Sankyu, as their food and service was top notch. If you go by their recommendations or take advantage of their daily specials, you can enjoy a lot of food and drinks for reasonable prices while spending quality time with friends and family. I felt a little bad we took up our table for so long, but the staff seemed to enjoy serving us (and it probably didn't hurt leaving a generous tip afterward). On the flip-side, I suppose if they were TOO close by, I could kiss my diet goodbye; their izakaya fare is almost too inviting and tasty, I'd have trouble eating too much! No joke, I could probably eat three plates of okonomiyaki in a single sitting. :D“

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

“Great food and atmosphere. ❤️“

“A very solid 5 star food, but 4 stars because pricing is high. We went on a Thursday evening and the staff was lovely and attentive. We ordered a variety of items across each menu section, as well as sake, beer, and whiskey. One thing we didn't like was it was a quiet evening and they sort of pushed us out after 2 hours, even though we were still ordering drinks, to close early.“

“Food is fast no wait at all.., food is very tasty which is I’m graving to come back again! I never get disappointed every time I come here!“

“Comida y servicio super excelente y buenos precios todo al 100“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“great variety of noodles and vegetables. the service was perfect, on a busy Saturday night.“

“I usually got no time to leave reviews but I’m making time just because I was beyond happy and all my guests with this catering that I made today … starting with placing the order being helped with all the details than the day of pickup being ready just in time and with the quality of it hands down… super delicious and very affordable. Totally recommended. It will be my place from now one for my sushi nights. Thank you so much for existing and keep it up the great job“

“Absolutely amazing. Very fresh and very tasty Definitely get the angry crab roll“

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

“Raiz is a gem on Fullerton. At first glance you might find some confusion with a menu offering both pasta and sushi but don’t be dissuaded. The food here is amazing and you can see the chef and team put care and heart into this place. Absolutely delicious and great service.“

“The food is really good. The service is ok. There is an older woman waitress who is not friendly at all. Not very helpful to the customers. Other than that the food is gray and we had other servers they have been awesome. I think they would make their restrooms available for all genders.“

“Just ordered BNK today for carryout and was so pleased with the portion sizes and the food was so fresh and made to order! I'll be back!“

“A very unexpected gem we found right in downtown Des Plaines! Honestly was not expecting much as we live in Downtown Chicago, but this place was surprisingly delicious. The bulgogi was a hit with the kids.. just mixed a little of the broth with the veggies and meat in rice and the kids just ate it up! We ordered both rolls and nigiri and they were fresh.. not overly seasoned or sweet like so many other establishments. The hamachi is definitely top grade. The service was very attentive and the quality of the food impressed.. We will definitely be back!“

“Great meal, liked every item we ordered and the happy hour definitely made it more affordable. We endednup at 120 with 2 drinks each and 4/5 items 2 of which were off the happy hour. I could definitely see this place taking off and being busy.“

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

“Wonderful food and service. Will definitely be back“

“gorilla sushi is delicious. This is not my first order. always fresh, lots of sauce, a few pieces of sticks. I recommend godzilla roll, miami roll, mini godzilla, california roll, dinosaur roll - fresh, delicious large pieces. and what everyone loves - the philly roll.I recommend, you will be satisfied :)“

“Amazing food! The JP Chicken with rice was fantastic and the Piccadilly Roll (Lobster Tempura roll), and an off the menu sushi roll with skeak, Joe's Roll was phenominal! Cocktails were delicious, the Samurai!! Great customer service from all the staff from the hosts, to the waiter to the sushi chefs. We would definitely go back to visit...hands down fantastic!“

“I so appreciated seeing veggie rolls that were as dressed up as the non-vegetarian rolls on the menu. It’s hard to find a vegetarian-friendly sushi restaurant. The owner is very sweet and friendly and we had a great time!Vegetarian options: Brutal Veggie Roll!“

“We were indifferent to Mora when it first opened several years ago. The food was ok but not great. We went back for the first time in years a few weeks ago and were absolutely delighted by everything. We returned on Sunday afternoon and continue to be bowled over inspite of the noisy laughter coming from a couple of women in a corner booth.“

“Awesome restaurant awesome food :) .“
