All the rolls looked amazing and were. I liked the chicago roll and Motown effect. Byob too. The Robata grill was pretty good too. Very cheap good food

The robata grill items are better than the sushi. Try the tuna miso, pork shoulder, and short rib - they are not to be missed!

One of my favorite sushi places in Chicago. Fresh, flavorful and inventive. Only disappointment is that they recently discontinued BYOB. Bonus: get the tater tots appetizer, you won’t regret it.

My friend & myself shared Boy meets World (yum!), my fave Midwest roll, Motown & Dragon. We liked all. Fresh& delicious! This place is reasonably priced for such great food.

One of the most creative sushi's I've ever seen. The prices are not expensive at all for what they serve and the food is delicious. BYOB is a great option too!

The best reasonably priced sushi restaurant in Chicago. If you don't want to spend more than $30 per person, this is your best bet. They recently expanded, which reduced wait times by a lot.

Gyoza and shrimp tempura rolls were alright. Pier 69, i did not like. Chicago roll was REALLY good! My husband ordered the Robata #2 and enjoyed it. Miso soup is really good here too, very flavorful.

BYOB sushi restaurant located in a nice area of Chicago. The rolls are just amazing! Every roll is served in a creative way. Though life 2

Been here at least ten times, and the food is consistently good. Start with the robata: 'chicken satay' (with rice pearls), 'beef short rib', and 'shishito'. Finish with 'maguro' and 'hamachi' nigiri.

It lives up to the hype, the sushi is the best in Chicago. Get The Big Chill and the tuna poke appetizer. You won't be disappointed.

Food- great, service- great, however if you call and ask about reservations and they say "we don't take them anymore" they mean for the night so don't go and expect to put your name on a list

Blown away by the tasty sushi rolls, the sweet potato tempura, the udon, the byob policy and of course the beautiful artwork!
C ReyMarch 15, 2016
BYOB and their specialty rolls come with some wildly saucy artwork. Edamame bowl is huge. Monster Dragon is delish.
JABRIL YOUSEFFebruary 27, 2020
affordable $13 sushi lunch specials! unfortunately, after march 1, 2020, there will be a $10 cork fee for wine and no beer allowed :(

Avocado mango salad 🥗 it was really good!!!! Also try the breaking bad roll
Sarai NDecember 19, 2012
BYOB! This little gem is always packed for dinner. The rolls are both works of delectable art and reasonably priced! A new favorite.
David HillJanuary 25, 2016
You can't go wrong with any of the specialty rolls. Everything from the food to the service is excellent.
EllyMay 5, 2013
Don't miss out on the robata! Order one of each. Jumbo sushi rolls are so big you'll have to unhinge your jaw.
Mariluz RiveraJune 2, 2018
Best night of my life. Incredible environment and intimate yet casual.
КSeptember 14, 2014
All show and no fish. The rolls are 80% rice and some cooked fish on the side. I didn't see a roll with actual raw fish in the whole restaurant.
Christina ChangMay 24, 2016
Everything! I come here every once in a while or have a person to casual talk

The sushi sauce art on the jumbo rolls will blow your mind.
Richard BlackwellAugust 8, 2014
Expect good service and a fun time, in a loud place with only passable sushi. Second best place in the area
Ryan BoubelikDecember 6, 2013
Probably the tastiest sushi I have had in Chicago. Service is great also!

The captain of this hipster-Japanese ship is Sushi Wabi alum Yut Vong, whose strength doesn’t lie in cream cheese and spicy mayo. Read more

Great and plentiful lunch specials. Love the Sashimi Bento Box!
Jyoti GillJanuary 24, 2017
pretty underwhelming. the sauce designs are pretty gimmicky. mango avocado salad was great though
William QuiñonesFebruary 1, 2016
Great place for really good sushi, good conversation and good company.
Autumn ChoiMarch 27, 2018
Fresh seaweed salad but sushi is overrated. Anything drenched in sauce (all their rolls) will taste good and their nigiri/sashimi is nothing special
Shirley HMarch 21, 2015
I've only had their Bento box, but it was dang amazing!

It's not often you find a fun BYO with great sushi and get to listen to T.R.O.Y. at the same time. The food from the grill was good too. Definitely will be back.
Pari S.February 13, 2012
Try the Sashimi - Fresh and cold. Just the way I love my sashimi!!
Robert BratneyAugust 18, 2017
Generous fish portions in their rolls!
Nina FelicianoJuly 8, 2011
BYOB, friendly staff, amazing and cheap food. The green harbor roll is a fave.

Come here for the Art! So good!

Great roll selection, not too overpriced!

You gotta try the Green Harbor roll. There's nothing else like it!
Jennifer RibbleApril 25, 2015
One of my favorite sushi spots in the city!

BYOB and good prices

The sushi was delicious and very fresh

Try the Mochi Ice Cream - Nice presentation!
Chicago magazineApril 10, 2012
Everyone–including the fedora-clad chefs–seems gleeful at this chummy BYO. Maybe the thumping hip-hop anthems have something to do with this.

Everything is delicious!
