Officially my favorite place to get Sushi! I have a severe Shellfish allergy and it's always nerve wrecking when trying Sushi at other restaurants but the Chef here is always willing to accommodate. They're very careful in making sure my food is made separately and that there is absolutely no cross contamination. They always go above and beyond, the food is always fresh and absolutely delicious. I get the prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for and this place is well worth it. read more

This place is SO good especially for vegetarians. Went there for the third time last night and ordered the veggie white dragon (3 rolls, because it's that good), fried tofu, and miso soup. It's hard to find good veggie sushi that doesn't taste like a salad inside of a roll but this is one of the best! I've even converted my fiancé into a veggie sushi lover who typically gets a shrimp or tuna roll. The service is fast and they give you 5% off if you pay in cash. They are also byob which is always a plus! read more

Coast Sushi Bar - 3 Veggie White Dragons, 2 with sweet potato tempura and 1 with asparagus tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Brought all 10 of my friends here to celebrate landing a new job. The wait staff was very accommodating of our party and sat us right away in a great area, there's a great selection of sushi variety for a big group to split. This place was also BYOB so we opened a couple bottles of wine for the table. The sashimi dishes specifically the chirashi dish was very reasonably priced. Overall great experience with a big group! read more

We frequently order Coast for delivery and have never had a problem but apparently my boyfriend didn't tip the delivery guy tonight and he vandalized our common area with this picture. We have small children in our building and tried scrubbing the picture off but cannot remove it. This is extremely disappointing read more

Coast Sushi Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Not only is Coast the best sushi in Chicago, it also has the best staff in Chicago. If I lived closer to Coast I would probably come every night just to hang with Juan, Ming, and Derrick. Let's not forget about the fact that Coast is BYOB, extremely well priced, and has the freshest fish in the city. My go-to apps are the Wasabi Shumai and the Hamachi Carpaccio. The shumai aren't too spicy and come with a refreshing cucumber situation. Hamachi Carpaccio is your classic yellowtail jalapeno sashimi that a lot of sushi restaurants have, but Coast is one of the best I've had! As far as rolls go, you can never go wrong with the special rolls. This summer they had a Natsu roll which was super fresh salmon and tuna. At Halloween they have a Spooky roll and I don't remember exactly what it entails but I highly recommend. Some other favorites that aren't seasonal are the Tuna On Top, Crunchy Spicy Tuna, and Salmon Avocado roll. Pro tip - if you're looking for nigiri pieces, the Toro come in on Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays and goes fast. Order that first if you're a Toro fan. But don't worry, if they're out the fatty salmon belly is a delicious alternative. read more

Went here last night for the first time. Great place and good service. Get the white dragon! Only wish the serving size for the rolls was bigger. read more

I literally just left this restaurant and I'm in the car writing this as my mom is driving. I chose this restaurant because it is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Chicago. My mom and I came here tonight because my mom was craving sushi, and I insisted we went here since it was my one of my favorite sushi places. Let me tell you why it is my favorite sushi place. First, it is BYOB with no cork fee. Second, the food here is fairly consistent with its deliciousness. Third, it opens til 12am weekdays. I've been here a fairly good amount of times. So why the 1 star you ask? Well, I came tonight with my mom and she doesn't eat raw fish. From the moment we sat down I told our waitress that my mom cannot eat raw fish and asked her to tell me which ones were cooked. So we ordered 3 rolls of COOKED sushi then went to get a bottle of wine and came back. Everything was fine, and we proceeded to order 2 more rolls; of which I asked her again which ones were cooked. I don't work here, I don't remember what rolls you told me earlier were cooked and not cooked. So we ordered 2 rolls and when it came.... my mom and I each took a piece and they were raw. We then told the waitress and she took it back. So the bill came out to $52 and we paid in cash. I decided not to tip 20% and rounded it up to $60; making it 15%. My reasoning for this was how did you do so well the first round of sushis and then messed up the second round? Raw fish makes my mom sick, and she ate RAW fish. 15% is still pretty generous in my opinion. The 1 star comes from when we left and I walked passed our waitress and I said "Thank you, have a goodnight", and she gave me a dirty look. Really? Because I took away $2 from you for almost making my mom sick when I told you she does NOT eat raw fish from when we sat down? This review wouldn't have existed if she had not given me that dirty look. I also work in service so I DO understand customer service. I get it, you might have forgotten that your customer at "Table XYZ" cannot eat raw fish, but to give me a dirty look when I said bye politely? That was unnecessary. Its now crossed off as one of my favorite sushi restaurants and I probably most likely won't come back here again. read more

This place has gone down hill the past couple of years. Last time I was in they gave my order to someone else so I had to wait 45 minutes for them to remake my order. The fish was quite smelly and fish shouldn't have much odor. Their prices aren't reflective of their food and they are definitely understaffed. read more

BE WARNED! COCKROACHES! My boyfriend and I came in for a sushi date and from the minute we stepped in we should have gotten the hint to leave. We walk in and it's not very busy. The hostess checks in and tells us to give the host a moment to get to us. Cool, no worries. But 15 minutes later our waitress hadn't even greeted us. After 15/20 minutes we order our food. We get our Edemame & miso soup & sushi. While sitting there a COCKROACH crawls across our table! My boyfriend flicked it off and then killed it! To make matters worse while we waited for our bill, some guy takes the candle from our table and starts cleaning and putting chairs up all around us. And was completely rude. Rushing us to get out WHEN a party of 6 just walked in to get seated. It wasn't even an hour till closing. Overall, the service was HORRIBLE, the sushi was tiny (not worth the price for portion) and THERES COCKROACHES!!! read more

Really great sushi! I'm pretty sure we found this gem using yelp. Gotta love yelp for allowing people to find new faves. The sushi was freshly made and delicious! also beautiful presentations as well! We were served quickly and were filled up by the yummy rolls! There were lots of sushi options and the ambiance was calm and relaxing. We also had their mochi balls to top off the meal!! Yummy! Great after soul cycle meal!! read more

Coast Sushi Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tasty sushi, but HORRIBLE service! Nine of my girlfriends took me here last night to celebrate my bday- thanks friends! I walked in celebrating my 28th bday and feared I'd be 43 by the time our sushi FINALLY made it out to our table. Yes, a table of 10 young women (notice i'm still trying to milk the "young" for as long as I can) is no easy task for any waitress to handle, but waiting 1 1/2 hours for sushi to come out is unacceptable. I wasn't exactly shy about sharing my thoughts with the manager who was very unapologetic and didn't do anything to rush the process along. Fortunately I still had a good bday celebration (with no thanks to Coast) due to good friends, lots of wine, and a delicious cookie cake... read more

Stepped inside Coast Sushi Bar on a quiet Sunday afternoon to find a whole restaurant all to ourselves with an amazing maki selection. Bread crumbs and tempura lovers, two rolls to recommend are Firecracker and White Dragon. Firecracker is an off-the-menu maki roll with sweet, savory and punch of jalapeno together in one. Very tasty and photogenic. The White Dragon is also a winner. Shrimp tempura, cream cheese, masago, avocado, wasabi dressing, tempura bread crumbs. Taste for yourself, I bet you'll l o v e them. ;) read more

Did I say that close conversation was possible? My mistake--it is loud as hell in here. "Not cacophonous"? No sir, it is indeed quite cacophonous. Or I am just getting older and crankier. Either way, do not expect to hear what your tablemates are saying, unless maybe you all smell like flowers and can lean in really close. This establishment is not nearly so mobbed on a Saturday night as it used to be, but the place was still full. Not sixty-minute-wait full, but very bustling well into the 9 o'clock hour. For a place of this size, they really should have multi-guest restrooms. Having just one single for each gender seems inconsiderate if not downright terroristic. But most importantly, I suppose, they still make pretty solid sushi of all kinds. Maybe just come to eat it at 5pm so that you can hear your friends talking, and can then leave in time to take your Metamucil and have your night-shirt on by 9pm. read more

Love that this place is BYOB. My dining companion and I shared some great edamame and a few rolls. The spicy tuna roll (with avocado, cucumber, and tempura crumb) and the smoked salmon roll (with avocado and cream cheese) were my favorites. Loved the dark romantic atmosphere. Service was just right. Be sure to make reservations. read more

Thanks to my fellow yelper Jelena Z for suggesting this fabulous place. We were celebrating a pal's birthday and only had a party of 3 around 6pm. Plenty of tables available at that time however by 7pm this place was jumping. I love the BYOB factor since I know my dining bill won't be outrages. Our server was great and loved my craft beer selection of PranQster and Delirium in my bright red cooler. I started off the evening with a bowl of Miso soup, just the right amount of scallions too. It was delicious! Then the fun started with 3 orders of the Po'Boy Maki signature dish, followed by White Dragon, Unagi, White Tuna and Spicy Crunchy Tuna. I know I am missing a few, must be still in a sushi coma. Our tab was fairly reasonable and server was knowledgeable. Whether you are bromancing with the fellas or getting your swag on with a lovely gal, Coast Sushi Bar is a perfect choice. read more

Coast Sushi Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

*********************** 798 ************************* A busy sushi restaurant in Buck Town, down the street from my best friend's place. We walked here for a quick dinner. She told me they have a good vibe, rolls, and the best thing is bring your own bottle BYOB at no charge. Perfect. Coast Sushi Bar is hip, dark like a lounge rather than a sushi joint, loud music, was packed on a week night. Hostess greeted us right away, sent us to a tiny table in the back of the second dining room, which got no lighting. So we requested to sit at the sushi bar instead. Being spoiled with sushi selection in Northern California, I don't expect much for a neighborhood sushi joint like Coast Sushi Bar. My best friends and I ordered a bit of everything. - MISO soup with tofu and scallion - $2 - SEAWEED SALAD - seaweed and cucumber in sesame vinaigrette - generous portion for $5 - WARM SHRIMP SALAD - shrimp tossed with wasabi garlic dressing on mesclun, sweet corn tempura - only $8.50, my best friend loved it. She said she orders it each time she's here. - Shiitake mushroom, spinach, egg, served with rice - a cool appetizer dish. - Uni shooter - the uni is not fresh at all, I guess that's why they serve in a shooter style! - VOLCANO MAKI roll - albacore in hot volcano sauce with tempura crumb - my best friend likes it. I didn't, the rice was fallen apart, wasn't tighten enough. $13 - SPICY SALMON MAKI - fresh salmon, spicy mayo, scallion, tempura crumb, tobiko - generous for $13 - Hamachi, Hirame, shiso maguro nigiri $2.5-$3 each piece. They were all dried look, much thinner cut than I used to in Nor Cal, and wasn't fresh :-( I tried other other fishes, but they didn't have anything else, limited nigiri selections. The bar was loud because the sushi cooks kept yelling at each others for orders in Thai. The restaurant owned by Thai obviously. Although the cooks were nice to us when I asked questions and etc. I guess for being in the Midwest, Coast Sushi Bar offers good vibe, CHEAP eat, quick service, and if you like rolls, you should come here. However if you are an authentic sushi lover, this is not a place for you. P.S. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to us. read more

The first few visits here, years ago, I thought this place was the shit and their sushi was some of the best I've had. I don't know what has changed, me or them, but while I find it good, outstanding it is not. Coast has sort of become a fall back restaurant for us; handy in a pinch, especially for a late Sunday dinner. The menu is decent; plenty of standard rolls and a good selection of sashimi and nigiri. The signature menu is the only one I don't find terribly appealing, we gravitate toward the same few every meal. Where this place loses points in my book is service. Attentive at first, it always drops off a cliff the moment the food arrives. On our last dinner, I don't even think we even saw our server after our food arrived and a different server altogether dropped our check. Predictable and good for a BYOB sushi joint. I'm sure the next time we're in need of a late night Sunday dinner, we'll end up here. read more

Walked in on a Friday night at 9:30pm for a girl's night dinner with no reservations, after an Art class we took down a couple blocks at #Arts and Spirits. The hostesses asked if we had reservations and we said no, she said they were waiting on a couple of people who did have #reservations and for us to have a seat. If those reservations were not fulfilled we should be seated soon...worry then accompanied my growling stomach. We were hoping this was not a similar ploy, pretentious #Chicago night clubs do by having people wait in line on an empty bar, in hope to perceive popularity. Since it was my first time there, I took the opportunity to enjoy the #Asian Art on the waiting room walls of beautiful cherry blossom trees, considering we did just come from an art class. Alas, after a short 5 minute wait, a soft calming voice said, please follow me to your table. #Score! Star #1 check! We were seated at our table with a tall glass of ice water poured to enjoy as we browsed the #menu. My girlfriend had given up drinking a few months back and since this place is #BYOB even a more perfect way to keep the extra sake calories at bay. I saved my would have been #martini calories for the evening's #sushi specials. A friendly bearded waiter approach to take our order along with announce the sushi specials of the evening were a summer roll and a the #firecracker #maki. Done, order that up along with the 12 piece #sashimi plate. Star #2 belongs to great wait staff here. After an #intimate conversation on #life amidst #Coast's low lit ambience our #culinary master pieces arrive. First thought was wow, second was #yum and third was nom, nom, nom! They serve a very generous portion and more than enough for your belly's content! Star #3 goes to #food presentation. After the first #bite of the firecracker roll, the only letter my lips could murmur were mmmmmmm! The firecracker roll is a crisp delight for the raw and cooked #sushi lovers. Second bite went to the #summer roll and can we say refreshing! Highly recommend trying both of these. As for the #sashimi platter, it was a #fresh plate of goodness and wonderfully presented with a #salmon rose and thick slices of #hamachi, #tuna, yellow tail, etc. Star #4 goes for #flavor. Drum roll, as the 5th star goes to #CoastSushiBar prices. After receiving the bill, an #amazing dinner for 2 all under $90 with tip. In summary, great service, low lit intimate ambiance, fresh /flavorful fish and affordable no holes in your pocket date night. I think I should skip on the spirits more, as usually most of my bill belongs to my liquid portion of the meal. I will definitely return with a friend I can share a bottle of unfiltered #sake with. Arigato! (Japanese for Thank you) read more

I heart this place so much. It has everything you could want in a restaurant: beautiful decor, pleasant atmosphere, attentive service, even a fantastic location (hello Bucktown!) but most of all, the food is exquisite. I was initially worried that Coast Sushi wouldn't live up to all the hype, but it surely does. You must, must try their signature makis. That is what they're famous for. My picks are the Wasabi, Coast Crab, Ceviche and Volcano. I don't even like wasabi, but I definitely liked the Wasabi roll. And did I mention that it's in Bucktown? On a strip of N. Damen Ave. filled with gorgeous, unique clothing boutiques. If you're a sushi-loving fashionista (i.e. any woman over 18 living in a big city), this place will seem like the brainchild (and love child) of Vogue and Gourmet. Bring money. You WILL spend it. read more

I know I am the last person in the world to try Sushi, but in the spirit of expanding my horizons... why not. Full disclosure... I don't eat fish, always found fish to taste "fishy" and if Fish wasn't "Poison" why is the French translation Poisson... So, Reservations for 6:30, immediately seated, water glasses filled and the our server (Greg I believe) stopped by to open our bottle and tell us the specials. As a Sushi Virgin I have no idea what I am looking at on the menu so I deferred the ordering to my guide through this ordeal... Start Asparagus wrapped with Beef in a delicious sauce (hey baby steps I'm in a Sushi Restaurant). Now the adventure begins... White Dragon Roll, Crunchy Tuna Roll and an item not on the menu a Jalapeno roll. I know, I know, not to adventurous for all you cool kids that are versed in Sushi. To my surprise I survived and actually liked it... a lot. Asked our server for a recommendation for a final roll. He came back with another item not on the menu that had Caviar dabbed on the top with a Japanese leaf that was similar to Basil. Me Caviar? Delicious. For my first foray into Sushi I have to say I will be back to be a little more adventurous. My lovely guide took it easy on me and for that I appreciate it. Thank you Coast, now I can't bail the next time someone mentions Sushi. read more

Let me start by saying I love sushi I could eat it everyday if I could. This place is one of my personal favorites. Great place for a date, romantic evening, out with friends, or just in need of good sushi. The restaurant is very trendy, nice intimate setting, and great ambience. The service is great never had an issue. The sushi itself is great there to many rolls to list because I find them all to be so tasty. My personal favorite and the one I always recommend newcomers is the WHITE DRAGON!!!! It is mouthgasmic. I can never get enough. The restaurant is byob. There is a 7/11 and a liquor store around the corner in case you forget to pick some up on the way. Cons: there are only two. Neither have to do with the food. #1 it's a bit pricey #2 if you go on a weekend parking is awful but they do have valet parking. read more

Loved this place! I had take out from them before but had been meaning to go to the actual restaurant. No complaints, all good stuff! My friend and I split the following (each paired with its review counterpart) seaweed salad - with a nice dressing topping thinly sliced cucumber, delish and possibly the best seaweed salad I've had. Sunrise Roll - Best thing of the night and mayyybe my favorite specialty roll ever. I'm a sucker for fruit with sushi, and this was a mango wrapped tuna roll consisting of seared ginger tuna and mint. The entire inside of the sushi was a large chunk of amazing tuna. I was in heaven. So simple, yet so amazing. Also delicious were... The Rainbow Roll - always a good one with a variety of fish on top of a California roll. Salmon nigiri - this is always my favorite standby Shrimp Tempura Roll - large pieces and soooo yum! For dessert, we tried the mochi. I have never seen so many flavors of mochi offered before, and unique ones too like raspberry white chocolate, tiramisu, chocolate coconut, lots of good ones. We split the tiramisu and my friend's favorite - the chocolate mint. No regrets. All in all, I'd go back again and again! Check out my photos of all the deliciousness. read more

Coast was my favorite sushi restaurant in Wicker Park and Bucktown. The food was creative and delicious, with unique appetizers and specials. Over the years, the prices have risen and the quantity of food has declined. My wife and I ordered 3 maki rolls and 2 pieces of nigiri for delivery through GrubHub. We found the rolls to be small, with only six pieces per roll. We enjoyed what we ordered, but sadly, after spending over $60 for our dinner (with delivery charge and gratuity), we were left hungry. I ways get a little worried when a restaurant starts cutting quantity. The last time I wrote a similar review, Firefin Poke closed its doors. read more

Arnie and I had dinner here on a Saturday this winter. The waitstaff were quite polite and attentive given the packed night and we were very satisfied with the service. The food was mostly great with the exception of one dish which I think they could have done a better job on. We started off by ordering the uni shooters, which came out way too vinegary (Arnie nearly choked on his shooter and I had difficulty holding mine down). That being said the next two courses were great - the Bluefin sashimi and the omakase were prepped really well and the fish was fresh. The final course we got - the spicy creamy maki - was sublime. Easily the best dish of the night. Lots of fish and filling, not a lot of rice, plus cheaper than most maki you can get elsewhere. My recommendation - skip the shooters and funky appetizers and go for the maki. The sashimi is comparable to other sushi places and worth getting if you're in the mood for it. read more

Pretty average. The rolls are lacking and for the price point I would expect more. The sashimi (tuna, salmon, yellowtail) was all really good. The spider roll at $9 was 4 pieces in total with a measly amount of soft shell crab. The seaweed salad was a complete joke at $5. Our total was over $100 for to-go food and I think Whole Foods is better. read more

Coast....you have disappointed me. I literally had been craving Coast for weeks...and weeks! I visited recently and was disappointed. My normal favorites seemed to lack flavor. Actually none of the rolls were as good as usual. The fish still seemed fresh...and the rolls looked as usual, but something was off. All at my table agreed....not as good as usual. I'm not sure what the issue was that night, but it's going to make me re-think my love for Coast...I'm not even sure I should be giving Coast 4 stars.... Disappointed.... p.s. service was marginal this time as well. read more

Their sushi is great, but they have gotten greedy. They have significantly increased the prices of their sushi rolls. It's still the best sushi in the city and I think they know it so they can charge what they want. Their service is still good.

I've ordered delivery from Coast the past two Friday nights....delivery takes a long time but boy was it worth it. Both times I got tuna on top roll - it's expensive and a little spicy but so good. I also tried the philly roll - also very good. I did try smoked salmon sashimi - very fresh, tender and good. They provide a very generous portion of wasabi and ginger. The mochi are excellent. Salted Carmel is heaven. I've been in the restaurant before but it's been awhile.. now I can't wait to go back! read more

Coast is where it's at for sushi in Chicago, people. I love their menu, their ambiance, and their service. We went here on New Year's eve at a peak hour and still weren't feeling cramped or rushed. A great spot for dates, hangouts, or even carry-out. Plus, BYOB is almost a must for sushi in Chicago, so thankfully Coast is on board with that. I loved every bite of our sushi. It's a little pricey, but if you have the money, Coast is definitely worth a trip. read more

Coast is about as good as it gets when it comes to sushi. My girlfriend and I decided to make the trek through the slushy rain Friday night to this restaurant. I had hoped that the rain would act as a deterrent, but when I opened the entrance door, the waiting area was flooded with people. We were told by the host that our wait would be 45 minutes. This was way better than our first time trying coast in the summer when we told our wait would be an hour and 45. Clearly people love their coast. While waiting we noticed that almost every party waiting had a bottle of alcohol. I don't think I've seen BYOB taken advantage of as much as it is here. After our wait, we were seated in the back area which was composed of mostly couples situated side by side. We decided to order the exotic tempura which reconfirmed by belief that if you batter fry anything, it will taste good. Everything on the plate was delicious and HOT. Biting into my first piece of tempura, I burned the roof of my mouth. Next time I'll be more careful. We ordered the ceviche, yellowtail and avocado, and spicy salmon rolls. I think if I could've reordered, I would just get 3 spicy salmons. It was the biggest piece of fresh fish I've had in my rolls and it just melted in my mouth. The spicy sauce complemented the fish without being overpowering. The ceviche and yellowtail were pretty tasty and as good as I've had at other restaurants. Overall, we had a great experience at coast. The dimly lit environment lends itself to a great date night although this place gets LOUD. Service was excellent and if I want great sushi, I know Coast will deliver. read more

Coast Sushi Bar - Exotic Tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been here quite a few times over the past few years because it's the location is convenient. The space itself is nice, dim lighting, music that is not overly loud, minimal but trendy decor. Service always seems really good. The fish always tastes fresh and they have a nice variety of rolls. I'm going with three stars because the maki rolls have had a ton of rice the last three times I have been here, more each time. It takes away from the rest of the roll and makes them dense and heavy. If they corrected this I would bump them back up! Personal favs are the white dragon, one with mint and ginger and sashimi hamachi and super white tuna. read more

Coast is excellent. This review incorporates an overall couples rating. We had a 6 pm reservation on a Saturday before heading to the theater. We were seated on time and the waiter we had was pleasant and very helpful with our selections. Nice ambiance, a little dark and romantic. We started with the Angry Salmon which was 4 pieces but very tasty. We really enjoyed our next two choices of the Firecracker (special) and the White Dragon (a house favorite). Both were fresh and had excellent taste. We finished with a Spicy Salmon which was average but good. The BYOB was nice and many ignored the suggested amounts. I don't like to go to too many places twice in a city with so many choices but this will be one to visit again. read more

If Yelp allowed 6 stars Coast Sushi Bar would have 7. This is must-go for all sushi lovers and here's why. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and it was recommended that we try Coast out. The Yelp reviews seemed awesome, the photos were drool worthy and it was suppose to be a beautiful night so why not? We made a reservation a day in advance for 6pm on Saturday. This establishment, like many in this Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood, was BYOB which was a-ok with me. Upon entering the sushi bar, it appeared very modern, clean and there was a mood-setting dimness throughout. After being seated for only approximately 2 minutes, we were greeted by our waiter who already had a wine holder filled with ice. He had popped our bottle open, poured each of us a hefty glass all while explaining the specials for the evening. Our server was very knowledgable, polite and attentive - excellent for a first timer! Because we were new to Coast, open to suggestions and our server was very convincing we ended up purchasing 3 of the recommended options he talked us into. No regrets. The food here was absolutely phenomenal. The sushi itself was made so intricately and precisely which is what I was hoping for considering some of the prices of the rolls. Before I make you readers wipe drool off your keyboards, I just have to say that the fish felt like butter in your mouth. Enough said. My date and I ordered an appetizer, two regular maki rolls and a specialty roll (a Coast favorite according to our waiter: The Firecracker) as well as a kick-ass dessert to top it all off. Not only was this an excellent choice for a celebratory date night but for their fish, atmosphere and service as well. I'll be coastin' back here real soon. read more
