casual space, fresh fish, nice presentation, late night hours. diverse clientele. miso soup is big, delicious, and served at perfect temperature (the tiniest bit too hot to swig). chef's rolls are creative. also have karaoke but i've not seen people perform yet. is becoming my new go-to. read more

The restaurant was dimly lit and had music playing. The service was pretty good. The waitress was attentive and we didn't wait too long for the food to arrive. I really enjoyed the Flaming Maki and oysters! I got 12 oysters for $12. They were really big and so good! The other two sushi rolls were fine but probably wouldn't get it again. read more

This is my go-to sushi spot for the past year! The staff are incredibly friendly and every roll and dish I've tried here has been delicious and fresh. My favorite has to be the salmon don, which has both generous slices of sashimi and a collection of delicious toppings! I'm particularly fond of the seaweed salad and the soy braised mushrooms! read more

I recently discovered this lil piece of heaven and cannot get sushi off my mind! And the best part of all this is I can satisfy any late-night cravings I have because they are open till 2am!! A fun hip, casual late-night spot to hang out with friends for good eats and some karaoke. They update their specials weekly and you DO NOT want to skip on those!! The rice-to-fish ratio on each roll is perfect! Full of umami with every bite you take. I usually dip a piece in soy sauce with every bite, but with Alynia Zushi I don't have to because the rice has so much flavor in it already. and to me if you don't need to use soy sauce then that's a perfect roll! All the rolls and specials I have had from here were delicious. Our server was awesome! and I will definitely be back to fulfill my cravings! By far my favorite sushi experience!! read more

came by to try their $1 oysters for the month of july! they flavor them two ways and only sell them by 6 or 12 and we loved them!! the sauce was so perfectly tangy and one was with wasabi. they provide extra lemon and tobasco om the side. loved the freshness of the salmon and sweet ebi. we were pleasantly surprised with the addition of the fried shrimp head which was perfectly crispy to eat. service was also great! music was bumping so depends if you like that, unfortunate they only offer bottle water which you need to buy. overall, would love to come again read more

This place was a little odd. We came for sushi + karaoke, and there was no karaoke area there were just some tvs up with music videos playing. I got the super duper maki, and I was confused when the salmon came out cooked in the roll (other rolls said the salmon was cooked, so I assumed it would be raw salmon in this one). This place also only has canned drinks which I wish places would tell you before you order it. It took about 20 minutes for our food to come out even though we were 3 of 6 people in the restaurant. I might would try it again during the day, but my first experience was pretty mid. read more

From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of, showing excellent customer service throughout our visit. The food is absolutely delicious -- all the sushi rolls we've tried have been fresh and flavorful, but my personal favorite is the Flaming Maki. Every bite shows the care and quality that goes into the menu. The warm and inviting atmosphere made the entire experience even more enjoyable, and the owner, Henry, is truly amazing -- friendly, attentive, and clearly dedicated to making guests feel at home. Highly recommend Alynia Zushi for anyone looking for great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming environment! read more

scam alert! do not click on go to website from yelp, the website is not alynia's, but some ghost kitchen that will take your money but not deliver the order to the restaurant!! the restaurant struggles frequently with this problem. they were so nice about it. cheaper also! their actual website is alyniazushi.com read more

Awesome sushi spot on Archer Ave. The location seems a little random, but don't let it deter you. The service is very friendly and welcoming. Sushi was fantastic. Everything was very fresh. It seems like it turns into a kareoke bar after 10 pm which is pretty fun. Definitely need to go back for that. This place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend. read more

Alynia Zushi - GTR Maki, Ocean Roll and Spicy Nia + smoked salmon and yellowtail nigiri - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was in town for work a few months ago and craving sushi, so I decided to order from Alynia Sushi due to the good reviews I saw on Yelp! I tried the spicy scallop maki roll and the spicy nia roll. Both delicious and a great portion size. My only complaint is that I ordered salmon sashimi and the pieces were a little too thick/tough. They tasted fine but wish they had been sliced thinner. read more

Best sushi on the south side area. Fish is always fresh! Slightly expensive but delicious.

We came here after getting into Chicago late for Riot Fest. This place was close to our Airbnb and open late. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. They also had karaoke on the TV screens which was a little bit strange but we participated anyway, and had a blast. The sushi was so good that we came back a second time. I don't recommend getting the cloudy sake in the pink bottle. It was gross. read more

There aren't many sushi restaurants in neighborhood of south side besides the ones in Chinatown and so I'm glad to have stumbled across this one. The sushi is quite fresh and the food was served very quickly. Our server came by a couple of times to check up on us. We ended up ordering 3 rounds in total because we could not get enough of their salmon hand rolls! read more

I recently moved nearby Alynia Sushi. I stopped in today to give it a taste test and it was well worth it! First and foremost, the employees are really easy going and very polite... that's always a plus... I started off with the Miso Soup which is one of tastiest Miso Soups soup I've either ever had, or had in a long time. I thought the soup was made to perfection and it was only $3. Worth all 3 dollars I would say! Then I got straight to the point with 3 different sushi rolls: 1. Spicy Tuna Roll 2. Spicy Salmon Roll 3. Spicy Scallop Roll The sushi was really really fresh and well done overall. No complaints whatsoever. When I go back, I think I'll slow down a bit when I eat so I can fully enjoy it. Admittedly I was really hungry and scarfed it down pretty quick. Overall, I am giving it 5 stars because, the food was perfect and the service is always good as well. Cant ask for much more! read more

I've ordered here from 2 separate occasions. Both times service was extremely friendly. On one occasion, a staff member names Henry went the extra mile to text me about my order to make sure I was okay with any changes which I thought was really nice. I ordered the sashimi platter which included 16 pieces of fish plus a side of sushi rice. The fish was all really good, generous portions, good variety and the garnishes were really nice! The sushi rice was delicious and had pickled daikon and these sweet mushroom that was a really nice touch! Overall, I was very pleased with this lunch and would 100% order again! Another time I got their a platter of their sashimi/sushi combo platter which is $95. The price is a little high but the cuts of sashimi were thick with 4 different types of fish. The rolls were packed well, and did well with serving and some wait time. Overall was solid and would consider them again! read more

Alynia Zushi - Beast Maki Stay Roll Tuna Roll 6pcs Spicy Salmon Roll 6pcs - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

There seems to be many places that offer sushi to eat in Chicago. Alynia is becoming my favorite place to go for traditional and new variants rolls. I have ordered a few different party trays and the quality is exceptional with the freshest fish. I enjoyed the Maki 1 which is kid friendly with many cook rolls and a couple that are spicy which we enjoy as a family. When I am not in a mood for rolls, I ordered the sashimi deluxe which are 16 pcs assorted which are all thick portions. I recommend the party trays and sashimi to everyone. There are plenty of non metered street parking nearby. read more

The spot was still pretty new when we went. The surrounding area is a bit barren and dark at night, but the inside vibe was great. The guys working there were eager to serve us and there was a table of friends by the window killing it with karaoke. Decent appetizer and sushi selection. Definitely not the best, freshest tasting sushi, but it did the trick and the prices are really good! read more

Wow. I was looking for late-night sushi and luckily stumbled upon this hidden gem. The sushi was SO FRESH! The tuna roll was undoubtedly the best I have ever eaten and the $1 oysters were spectacular and an awesome deal! Service was very friendly too. I also got an assortment of nigiri and everything was amazing. The fish-to-rice ratio was very good (not overloaded with rice as many places do). By far the best sushi experience I've ever had! Very reasonable prices and good-sized portions. This did not disappoint in any way! We will be back again and again! read more

Absolutely love this spot. Great and fresh sushi. Fav is the rib eye quail egg sushi i love getting the Sexy vegan Roll (sweet potatoes) with eel and the mitake mushroom sushi $1 oysters and $5 toro is great deal during the week Chef cutting tuna in front of the restaurant was my favorite part. He's awesome! We got to eat the tuna he flew in the same day and cut in front of us at the dinner Service was great as the chef came and talked to us at the table Def recommend coming here. Super lowkey spot and great fun vibe. Bring your friends too because there's karaoke lol read more

Henry is amazing. I have been following him from restaurant to restaurant.Oak park .. to wicker park, to Bridgeport . Amazing !

This restaurant has good food and a nice decor inside. The location is kind of strange though and feels a bit out of place. Another issue is that they don't have tap water to give you and can only give you water in bottles. For food they have a wide range of sushi and fish and also good lunch options. read more

Amazing! Amazing! Delicious! Waitress very helpful. Loved every plate we ordered. Love the vibe.

I was pleasantly surprised! What started out as a quick find for a meal in the neighborhood, ended with a two full happy belly's. My grandmother who is notorious for being a picky eater, often judging all the restaurants in Chinatown, loved this place. While it isn't exactly authentic Japanese, our meal was still wonderfully and meticulously cooked. Their presentation and flavor was top notch, it felt like I was eating a home-cooked meal! This will definitely be a conveniently-located sushi fix for my family. read more

Small but mighty spot. We have been here and ordered to go from here a few times ~10+ and has a good variety of selection with solid results everytime. We like to go in when we want to have saki with the fish. The in dinning service has been good no complaints. read more

Went here at 11-12 at night and everything was so great. Amazing vegan and vegetarian options and staff was fast and very friendly. I will definitely come back and bring more friends. Probably one of the best sushi places I've been to! Thank you! read more

I wish there is zero score. First of all, they don't care much about sushi rice. Fish is important but no quality control sushi rice is big no no. Their sushi rice is joke. The worst sushi rice i ever had. It could be that they didn't have rice ready when I visited. But you know what. If you don't have ready-to-serve sushi rice you should not take my order. It is a snap shot if how you run sushi Secondly, the person making sushi, sashimi and rolls don't care about hygiene. Sushi chef ought to do make sure everything ready before he/she starts making. You should not touch whatever other things while you are making sushi. Lastly, fish is not good either. I'm not going there. I expected lots because this restaurant is located at some unusual area where not many restaurants are there. I was thinking that the owner is confident enough in what he/she is doing. But i was wrong. I was tricked by yelp and google's relatively high ratings. read more

Great quality at a good price. I wasn't sure how it would be when I pulled up, but the raving reviews were correct. We had the crab ravioli, which their take on crab rangoon. We also had California rolls and shrimp tempura rolls. Pretty simple order, but they were some of the best rolls we've had. read more

Second time visiting this place. Our waiter Chris has outdone himself once again. He was friendly, polite, multi tasking skills was on point. We ordered a whole fish sashimi, foie Gras, sweet potato fries! Everything was fresh and scrumptious. You can't get these types of food in most of the high-end restaurant. The owner Henry came sit down and chat with us a few times. I felt like being treated like family there. He also offered us a bowl of home made congee. It was fire read more
