Rachel PettyMay 30, 2014Loved the Tuna on Top roll! Seriously one of the best sushi places I have ever been to. Definitely going back on my next trip to Chicago! Our waiter was also very knowledgeable and accommodating.
C ReyMarch 15, 2016The firecracker roll is one of the best I've ever had anywhere. If it's a special, you must try.
VApril 28, 2015I really like Dragon rolls here and spicy shrimp,which are amazing. Service is very nice and helpful. Also, they have a lot of tables, so you are less likely to wait.
Saloni RaulMarch 11, 2015Cheap and chic sushi bar. Loved the dragon roll and crispy spicy tuna. Order the raspberry and white chocolate mochi-dont bother with the chocolate chip
Michelle FierroMay 29, 2013Ask for Devin, he is the BEST waiter!! Have the Angry Salmon and Hamachi carpaccio for appetizers and the Firecracker roll for Entree! THE BEST!!! Yummy!!!
- Michelle FierroJanuary 1, 2012Best sushi, best BYOB and best waiter ever! The Angry Salmon and Hamachi carpaccio will blow your socks off and Please ask for Devin on the weekends, he is by far the best waiter!
- Rebecca RickertNovember 7, 2014Basically obsessed with the white dragon maki but the nigiri/sashimi is always super fresh and delicious also!!
Graham FuguittJune 4, 2018Gyoza appetizer is the best ever. Ask for Helen. A great server! Coast is BYOB, and Helen brought a bucket of ice for our Sapporo’s!
Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011Ceviche maki pairs lime-marinated scallop with mango, cilantro and jalapeño, and salmon gets stuffed in a spring roll, fried and served with green curry dipping sauce. Read more
Allison KochMarch 16, 2012Get the super white ginger! Not on the menu but they'll make it for ya. And try Uzura- it's a raw quail egg so it might seem off putting but it's so delicious!
Time Out ChicagoOctober 17, 2011Ceviche maki pairs lime-marinated scallop with mango, cilantro and jalapeño, and salmon gets stuffed in a spring roll, fried and served with green curry dipping sauce.- Order the Spicy Miso, White Dragon and Tuna on top!! Absolute favorite sushi spot in Chicago!!
Karin KovitvongsaOctober 20, 2011Awesome sushi, great place for a bite before hitting the town. BYOB which is always nice. Love their Po Boy Roll (not offered at South Coast).
Taylor FleckDecember 31, 2010When I checked in I read the reviews about the white dragon. It looked like the best bet so I ordered and it hands down was the best. And I've been to japan! Coming back just for this roll.
Cyndie CarlsonNovember 23, 2013Don't bring a big group here & act like your having fun, the couples will complain that your to loud.... Really who is that lame at 10 pm on Friday night????!!!!
Love their white dragon roll and the tuna on top special was also awesome!! Sunday nights are not as packed here either
Laney BSeptember 13, 2011White dragon role, spicy tuna & the waiter recommendation were delicious! Great service, ambiance, food. 2 thumbs up
Angela WMay 12, 2013Best veggie roll I've had is the Japanese pumpkin/cream cheese/ jalapeño / spicy mayo /cilantro
RyanJanuary 25, 2012Then Chef special Crab Cakes in fried wontons was pretty sweet action! White Dragon roll never fails to please my tummy either!
Dan M.May 27, 2011My favorite sushi spot in Chicago. Everything about this place is sublime; especially the Coast Crab maki.
Ugh. loved this place since it opened. had raging bday parties here. dreamt about the white dragon. But the past 2 years the service has been so disappointingly slow. #TooMuchGoodSushiTooWaitThisLong
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014John Anderes, chef of Telegraph Wine Bar, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Dragon roll. Read more
Paula GarciaApril 19, 2010One of the best sushi in Chicago and its BYOB! Make sure you make reservations, gets crowded in the weekends.
Claudia CastroDecember 10, 2011Tried many different ones but the Spicy Salmon was my favorite. Service was great!
Interesting policy - if they deliver the wrong roll and remake it you are charged for both rolls if you've had more than one piece because that means 'it was acceptable.' I don't think I'll be back
JoJoApril 23, 2011Ask for the angry salmon...not always on their specials but they can always make it. So good!
Raed MansourSeptember 22, 2011The place is "intimate" but I think it's overcrowded and felt like I was on a date with the couple next to us. Sushi is very good though.
Léo Le BrunAugust 12, 2014Don't order the specials without asking how much they are. Those rolls can be twice the price!
Kimberly WolfsonDecember 31, 2009Must try the Toro (fatty tuna) sashimi or nigiri. I think it's so good sashimi style is sufficient. No rice needed!!!
Natalie UngerOctober 5, 2011Sushi doesn't tend to taste very fresh in Chicago, but is really good here.
