Saw so many things on the menu I over ordered and everything was amazing! Started out with hot miso soup and they just keep putting sushi in front of me. Seaweed salad was super fresh. Chicken karaage bowl came with an eggy mayo. Everything was great but the best things I ate were the spicy tuna sushi roll and the eel sushi roll. Will definitely be back. read more

**Soft Opening Review** When we first walked into Chicago Sushi we were quickly and cheerfully greeted by the chefs behind the counter. We have never been to a soft opening of a restaurant so we didn't know what to expect. Parking: 3 out of 5 At the time we went (6:30ish pm) we found a spot immediately. There are limited parking spaces since it's in a strip mall and also shares spaces with the very popular Chicago Ramen next door. Ambiance: 4 out of 5 Since it was a soft open not many patrons were inside so it was fairly quiet except for the music playing and soft bussle of the work being done behind the counter. We were greeted immediately and were directed to take a seat wherever we would like. Decor was on theme and nothing really stood out as particularly 'off'. Space was a bit limited so I expect waits and space to dwindle the busier the place gets. Food: 3.5 out of 5 Typically whenever we visit a new place we try to get a little bit of everything so listed is what we tried. At the time of this review, we were handed an order sheet to fill out and hand to our server whenever we were done selecting what we wanted. The structure of the menu was a bit confusing but hopefully the descriptions of what we got can help you order. - 4 Piece Hand Roll Sushi - 4 out of 5 Having never had this kind of sushi we didn't exactly know how it all worked. When you look at the menu, you can order via a combo order (3 rolls / 4 rolls / 5 roll) or individually. When you order by combo, you get one of each flavor of hand roll listed in the box. For us we got the 4 rolls (Salmon / Spicy Tuna / Imitation Crab / Shrimp). Each roll was about 4 inches in length and we're filled with warm sushi rice, protein, and additional ingredients all wrapped upon order by the chefs behind the counter in dried seaweed. Since we sat at the bar, they placed the hand roll on the wooden serving block on top of the bar after telling you what flavor you are getting. We weren't sure if this was proper etiquette, but we said 'thank you' after every presentation and ate the roll right away. Each roll was made upon order so if you ordered as a couple or a group each person will most likely have to wait until the chef rolls sushi for you when it's your turn. Each roll we received was delicious! We didn't expect the rice to be warm but it was a welcome surprise. The fish was fresh and the additional flavor ingredients pair perfectly with each protein. We should note that these rolls are about 2-3 bites a piece for a normal person and it a bit odd to try to dip it into your provided soy sauce bowl. Regardless, would definitely come back and get these hand rolls again, especially the shrimp (tempura) one. Would have been nice to get some descriptions on each roll though so we would have an idea on what we were eating. - Chirashi Sushi (Matsu) - 3 out of 5 Also a new experience for us so we didn't know what to expect. Our server told us that the Matsu was the most popular Chirashi Sushi so we went with his suggestion. This version of sushi is like a deconstructed roll mixed with a poké bowl all placed into a nice sushi box. It was intimidating to eat when it was presented to us and our server didn't really know what we were asking when we wanted directions how to eat it. First things first, this is a must if you like all the seafood listed in the Matsu especially Uni (sea urchin) and Eel. For us though, after digging into it, the textures all started to blend together into something akin to mushy. This is not to say the flavors were bad. It was definitely tasty but it was oddly too much seafood for us at the time. Once again instructions and descriptions would have aided us when ordering this. If you like poké bowls you should give this a shot. It's a lot of rice though so maybe share if you aren't a hearty eater. - Red Hot Chili Noodle (Small w/egg - easy spice) for 4 out of 5 When we first order this, we thought it was a cold dish. Little did we know that what we really ordered was a type of ramen. Different from standard ramen, this was a thicker, peanut-y broth with thin noodles and layer of chili old floating on top. Try not to be intimidated by the name (unless you go full into spicy) as the version we got had a more 'numbing' spicy than a 'set your mouth on fire' spice. The combination was a great change of flavor from the sushi and a different take on ramen than we were used to. We would definitely come back again for this dish but it was pretty filling on its own so just be aware. Also, if you really wanted ramen, you could just go next door to Chicago Ramen for some top-notch selections. - Shrimp Tempura Roll - 3 out of 5 The least favorite thing we had that day. It was just okay honestly. If you had a shrimp tempura roll before this one probably tastes like that. Was it bad? No, but why get this when you can get a 4 shrimp hand rolls for almost the same price? read more

Sushi is not really my thing, but it was pretty good. A little sour due to the vinegar, but tastes exactly as I would expect. I got the Spicy Tuna Crunch Roll. The crunch adds a nice texture and there is a spicy sweet garnish on the plate if you would like to add more flavors. The Takoyaki was really good. It is gooey inside with many fish flakes on top and some mayo with another sauce (I'm not sure what it's called). I love Takoyaki and it most definitely met my standards. Although the piece of octopus is quite small in comparison to the Takoyaki ball. The Gyoza is mostly filling with a thinner layer of dough. The Miso soup is not too salty has a good amount of seaweed and a bit of tofu. The taste is what I was looking for. The staff was nice and greeted us at our entrance and departure. read more

See all

Amazing place . I saw this place on TIK TOK and had to try it . This place is famous for their hand rolls . Super fresh, super tasty , great portion size . I would definitely come back again read more

This is a temaki sushi restaurant tucked away in the Chicago suburbs near O'Hare. Temaki sushi is essentially a build your own hand roll-style of eating sushi grade fish or veggies and rice with a nori (seaweed wrapper). We ordered the 5 piece hand roll selection and several a la crate hand rolls. They were just delicious! We ordered red hot chili noodles and a spicy salmon roll too, both wonderful. This is a MUST try for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese temaki sushi experience that's different than your usual rolls and nigiri spot. read more

Chicago Sushi - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Delicious food, the best sushi in the world honestly. They serve free miso, very reasonably priced. Been coming here everyday we can afford! The service here is absolutely amazing. read more

Food is so good, the service was amazing very nice and welcoming!! Will definitely come here when in the mood for a quick eat.

OVERPRICED, and average to below-average quality food. I ordered rolls for just my wife and myself for takeout. Nothing else. My bill was $66!!! I waited to be notified that my order was ready...and was never notified (not the restaurant's fault, this is squarely on Grubhub - you suck). Once I checked and found out that my order had been ready for 20 minutes, I went to pick it up. The 2 specially rolls we got were warm and fresh, and pretty decent. The regular (California and spicy tuna) rolls were clearly made much earlier and were quite a bit less fresh. We got packets of soy sauce and wasabi paste - no ginger, no fresh wasabi. $66??? For this? The regular rolls were the same size or slightly smaller than the ones you find at the grocery store near the sandwiches. $66 for this??? Man, they didn't even try to be average. Really disappointing, and I will not be giving them my business again. read more

Let me start off by saying I absolutely love the "sister" restaurants: Chicago Ramen, Chicago Ramen Annex, and Chicago Ramen Lab. I have visited all locations at this point but I have to say the service here was horrible. The staff were literally in their own world behind the little bar where they prepare the food. When we had walked in, we got seated but we were given no menus? We waited a good 15 minutes even while asking for menus until the waiter had noticed he didn't give us any. I was irritated but still looked over the menu and decided. We were ready to order and it was obvious we were, we placed our menus to the side of the table and waited nearly 30 minutes all while they had their phones out, one was talking on the phone, the other two were taking selfies, and the waiter was laughing along with them as me and my friend were waiting for the waiter to take our order. There were so many times where we were stared at by the "chefs" and they laughed; that was disgusting. Not to mention, the waiter was rude to other customers next to us and was refusing the give them a receipt after they had paid. The ambiance was definitely questionable. I was so disappointed at this point so I got up and left. We were never even able to get our order in. We drove over to Chicago Ramen Lab and had a way better experience. read more

We are big fans of Chicago Ramen (practically right next door), but they were closed today for maintenance, so we came here to their sister restaurant. Service wasn't great, our waitress was chomping her gum and seemed less than enthused to have us there at 6:00. Food was super salty and I got one of their ramen dishes and was super disappointed. Also tried some of the sushi, but I genuinely feel like the staff didn't try or care. Will definitely return to Chicago Ramen, but not to this sushi location. read more

Super yummy! Definitely memorable more so than other sushi spots. Will definitely be back

Huge fan of chicago ramen! And everytime I went, I always wondered when this place will open... And I finally went today! I usually don't leave a review unless it was really good or terrible. This time was a bit different because food tasted decent. My fam and I had tuna, crab and salmon hand rolls and they were very good! We also ordered red hot chilli noodle, matsu chirashi, and spicy tuna roll which were just ok. However, when we got out matsu chirashi,I noticed that it was missing uni and eel. There's 3 different Chirashi bowls - Matsu, Take, and Ume. From what I saw, difference between Matsu and Take was Uni. I'm a huge fan of uni so I was ordered matsu. However I couldn't find it. I called the one of the chefs asking where is the uni. When I brought it up, he went to the back and another chef came out. He pointed that he added ikura... which is also added in "Take Chirashi" which is $7 cheaper. Mind you that it was also missing eel which is even included in Take Chirashi. I think he was trying to bypass the trouble by saying there's ikura which is not uni... I kept telling him that I know ikura is not uni and he finally confessed that he added hotate since they ran out of uni. I don't understand why they couldn't tell me about it before making the dish then I would've not ordered matsu Chirashi but they just substituted uni and eel by adding 3 pieces of hotate which is cheaper in general. He finally said he will give me the price for Take Chirashi and I just agreed to it while I knew that it would still be missing eel even for Take Chirashi. They also didn't fix it in the check in the end which I had to point out... long story short, good food but know what you are getting because they might substitute things without asking you. I hope they did it for good intention but I almost felt like they were trying to scam me by substituting something cheaper instead of uni and also taking out eel. I would've given one star but I'm giving two because the service was good! read more

The sea food is not fresh and the water has a strange scent. I just vomited all the thing I ate in the lunch.

Sushi was great! Ramen, not so much. No meat in ramen and was pretty thick. I would come here specifically for sushi.

Awesome jewelry box gotta try it on site I had ordered in door dash. Best sushi around in the subs

Very good sushi. Not super busy though. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Ok. I got the jewelry box platinum. Some of it was really good but some was flavorless or not really fresh tasting. Might try some other items but not in a rush to go back read more

Great casual place for getting good sushi and izakaya type dishes with modest pricing. The hand rolls are great, spicy tuna and eel were delicious. Amazingly fresh nori, warm rice, and the cold protein were a great combo. All of the appetizers were great, especially the takoyaki. Nice little gem to have in Des plaines, especially with their sister restaurant Chicago Ramen, practically next door...which is also a great spot. Will definitely be coming back here. read more

Staff is phenomenal, sushi is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is so calm and welcoming! Love it

This place is MAGIC. If you like sushi... and you are in the greater Chicago area go here. Sit at the bar and get the hand rolls. They are pristine, delicate n divine. Had the red hot chili noodle. It was great. Not hot ... just that right hint of spice. And when there ... have the Chirashi. It is outstanding. It is a tapestry of great fresh seafood done right. read more

Small restaurant with great flavors. Loved the handrolls that they specialize in. The hot chili ramen was delicious. It wasn't super spicy but it helped develop a nice sweat from the heat. The Chirashi jewelry box was delicious and very eye appealing. Definitely a must try. read more

I have been a huge fan of Chicago Ramen for a while now so I have been super excited for the opening of Chicago Sushi and I was still surprised at how great the food and service is! I always get the shrimp tempura roll from multiple locations but I cannot stress it enough that this is the best I've had! read more

i had a filled up my stamp card for a free ramen but the card they give you at chicago ramen actually says chicago sushi. i always look into chicago ramen and see people waiting for a table when i pick up my take out and i never understand why they would not just go to chicago sushi. this was lunch time and ramen was closed so i decided to have lunch at chicago sushi and i am so happy i did the food was incredible. i had the chirashi jewelry box with sea urchin and it was the best sea urchin i have ever had. i love sushi and i have always been turn off from the taste of sea urchin but i was always told it's supposed to have this superior taste. the sea urchin from chicago sushi was the best i have ever had. the cold sake is poured into this wonderful little bamboo jug and tastes great between bites as a palette cleanser, their ginger is also top notch and i had to ask for seconds. the meal starts off with a free miso soup as well which is my favorite type of soup and this one did not disappoint either. it was nice a hot with great taste. i will definitely be coming back to chicago sushi , i loved the vibe inside. i felt very relaxed and calmed by the atmosphere and really got to focus and the taste of the food and again the food was INCREDIBLE. i will be visiting before going back to ramen it was that good. i was glad i tried this restaurant when missing out on ramen. read more

Me and my girlfriend love going to Chicago Ramen two doors down and it's a very lovely place, staff is great towards us, food's awesome, but sadly they were closed due to maintenance so we decided to dine in for some sushi. We entered the restaurant about 25 minutes before it closes, we were sat and didn't receive a menu. Another group of Asian people were sat next to us after and got a menu and the sheet of paper needed to take their order. We were still sitting there waiting for the paper, after several minutes of waiting the waiter finally noticed we didn't get a paper, we finally got one and we put down our order. We were passed by the waiter numerous times for the next several minutes, and another group of white people at the tables weren't given their receipt after repeatedly asking. After about another 10 minutes of the waiter passing us, delivering food to other people, with our menus and sheet still clearly visible on the table, we decided to walk out and leave for the first time ever. read more
