This may be my favorite sushi on a budget in chicago. The quality is good, the prices are fantastic. It's between $3-5 for each plate, the special rolls come with four pieces and the regular rolls come with six. You can eat a decent portion here for $15-20. Absolute try the spicy trio roll, it has nice toppings and the meat inside is very good as well. Also love the negi hamachi and tigger rolls here. read more

Gorilla Sushi Jefferson Park - sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Random sushi in a random place, but freshly made in-house. Staff visited our table often. The menu had many options, including two different chef specials: sushi or sashimi. The dishes were freshly prepared and delivered promptly with the requested extra ginger and wasabi. A small location, so large parties cannot be accommodated, perfect for intimate meals, business, or dining alone. read more

Gorilla Sushi is a solid go-to spot for Uber Eats and delivery sushi. It's not the best sushi I've ever had, but it's decent, affordable, and hits the spot when you're craving sushi and want it delivered quickly. I haven't dined inside since the location is pretty small, so I stick to delivery--but I do love the outside ambience when passing by. One thing they do really well is customer service. Anytime there's been an issue with an order or something didn't taste right, they're quick to acknowledge it and offer a refund or fix the problem without hassle. Overall, it's a reliable, budget-friendly sushi option for delivery with responsive service, which makes it easy to keep coming back when convenience matters most. read more

Very good sushi!! Good portions. The service is great! It's worth the wait also and the money. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic sushi and a for a great price. I ordered almost everything on the menu and got to try it all. The best try was the spicy mayo which made my clam throb and toes curl. I was so stuffed from all that sushi I had no desire to part take in jerkmate regional championship. PS the wasabi makes for a good time with your playmate... if you decide to not use in on yourself read more

All the food has been pretty tasty and the presentation is great too. I really enjoyed the spicy miso soup, and the rolls the most. read more

just ordered delivery. i only want to get ten orders of their umo umo roll. looooved! mind blowing with a tiny touch of spiciness

What a fantastic experience here at Gorilla Sushi. Talk about delicious sushi at such an affordable price! I came here on Sunday around noon-ish (they open at 11:30am), and the place was completely empty. We got to sit wherever we wanted. I noticed they had a good amount of to-go orders that were consistently coming through. It's a relatively small sushi spot and gives me authentic vibes. They give you a warm wipe at the beginning to wipe your hands before you eat. They also leave a pitcher of water with you which is nice. On all the tables there's a jar with napkins, reusable chopsticks, and straws which is convenient. Our server was soooo sweet. Very attentive and polite! She was precoppied later once we already got our food with to-go orders and came to apologize that she didn't check in sooner which was so sweet. She was totally good anyway, we didn't even notice! Truly a very nice staff. The sushi is what did it. EVERYTHING was beyond fresh, you could tell instantly. I was pleasantly surprised with the inexpensive regular rolls that came so fresh, nicely made, flavorful, and were of quality. All the regular rolls were $3.95, but they also have special rolls which are a few bucks more depending which roll you get. I absolutely loved the spicy crunchy salmon roll and spicy trio roll specifically. I can't wait to come back and try more sushi rolls! Loved this place. read more

This place is great, they are fast and attentive, and the food sizes and pricing are reasonable too. Yes the rolls are smaller than other places but they're also only 3.95 each - as of late 2024 at least, so you get to choose as many different things or as few things as you want without having to be that worried about food waste. The fried shumai app is amazing, as are their small salads. The sushi is tasty, although it'd be great to see some more variety, but I haven't run out of things to order yet. Also if you dine in parking isn't that great thanks to people being a bit wacky on that part of Milwaukee. Don't park at the McDonalds - McD has people monitoring for that. Go down the side street near the city building and the park and there should be some spots there hopefully. read more

This is absolutely my favorite sushi restaurant nearby. You get a lot of bang for your buck. We have never had anything we didn't like. I don't drink but it is BYOB. read more

HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE!!!!From calling in my order to be down talked to inside picking up my food! The man that works there is HORRIBLE AND SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!! Do Not Waste Your Money! There are other sushi places in the area !! Horrible experience ! read more

Ordered pickup. Somewhat of a busy intersection with little parking right next to Jefferson Park. I luckily found a spot in front and was able to run in. Small restaurant, greeted and was given my order quickly. We ordered the Mexican Roll, the Godzilla Roll, the Valentino Roll, and the Redeye Roll. Along with an order of calamari. The calamari was good, not great, and needed a lemon wedge to accompany it. Most of the sushi rolls we ordered were signature rolls, a bit pricier. DEFINITELY worth it! Each came with 8 pieces and some rolls were huge. The Godzilla in particular was delicious, both crunchy and fresh (shrimp tempura inside and spicy tuna on top), and felt like double the amount of a regular piece. Easily could have been 14-16 regular pieces. The Valentino was our second favorite (fresh water eel, cream cheese, unagi sauce, among other things and topped with a grape tomato). All our rolls were great and would order them again. read more

Loveee this place. Everything is so good for the price. Comer multiple times a month& is so consistent!

This place is always amazing. I come here very often, and tonight my husband came here to support on small business Saturday. We love that we have such a great byob place so close to the house for date night. The servers are always super polite and the orders always come out quick. Today, I asked the server about the specials in the board and she recommended the salmon teriyaki. Wow! What a great suggestion taste wise and price wise! For $16 you get a nice chunk of salmon, rice with seasoning on top, and a delicious salad along with a side of miso soup. The whole dish was outstanding, even my husband was raving about it (and he's not a big fan of sushi places). I love this place and will remain a regular for a long time. read more

My motto usually is "it's all about the ratios" but lately I think it's become a matter of QUANTITY -vs- QUALITY. The quality was good. The quantity for what was paid was a joke. Granted I chose delivery instead of takeout but that was only because of Yelp not having the option to do takeout. Your girl was feeling anti-social and did not feel like chatting on the phone...SO DELIVERY IT WAS! What I disliked about the ordering process was all of the items ordered did not include the number of pieces you were getting. Except for one. The spider roll. The spider roll was suppose to be 8 pieces. We only received 6. When I went back to double check, the number of pieces weren't listed out post payment on the receipt. Was I gaslighting myself ? Was the sushi gaslighting me? A saga.. The rest of the sushi rolls were only 4 pieces.... 4... Unbelievable. I am still hungry. 3 gyozas for 4.00 just hurt my soul. Miso soup lacked flavor but I appreciated it not being loaded with sodium. No more late night deliveries but all in all everything was tasty. Still hungry but tasty. Robbery! read more

The ambiance is not really the best for dine in because it's very small but it's not bad. Personally I gave this 5 stars because it is my go-to place for sushi take out. The prices are great and the service is always very quick. Every time I call they say my food will be ready in 10(15 minutes on busier days) and we place a pretty decent sized order. The sushi is always well packaged and of the hundreds of times I order from her they have never made any mistakes. My favorites are the volcano, Miami, spicy crunchy salmon, and dragon roll. read more

Gorilla is our go-to for sushi. I've tried lots of other sushi places, but their sweet potato roll is always the best! The service is fast whether you're dining in or picking up, and the waitstaff is always friendly. read more

Last evening we had food delivered from Gorilla Sushi which I had saw a few across Chicago while I was here. I knew I was not gonna be blown away quality wise because of the price point, but it was actually a fantastic meal that more than filled three of use up for a great price. The special rolls have complimentary flavors and overall was a great experience, which is true because I normally take photos, but devoured through them before I could take a pic. read more

Gorilla Sushi is great for a fast and cheap sushi stop! After a disgusting sushi experience at a restaurant nearby, I thought I was done with sushi forever, but Gorilla Sushi changed my mind! Honestly, at ~$3/roll (6 pieces for more plain rolls, 4 pieces for speciality), it's a steal. My husband and I each got 3 rolls a piece and enjoyed dinner for under $20. The fish was actually very fresh and flavorful, and was packed nicely for travel. Is it super authentic? No. Is it delicious and great for starter sushi? Absolutely! We would return for a cheap and easy meal! read more

The service was amazing! Our server was Mook, she's sooo sweet and nice, she took such good care of us. The food here is one of my favorites in terms of sushi places in Chicago. I love the golden California and the dynamite rolls are my favorite, I definitely recommend them. The overall vibes and ambiance of the place is really nice and comforting. It's so nice to eat here during the cold days. read more

Great place for sushi ! It's a small location but it's doable. I ordered the (8) piece Godzilla Roll and it was delicious . It has shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese, seared tuna and topped with a delicious sauce . Perfect combination that results in a perfect dish for the taste buds!!!! I also had their miso soup. It was very good. It's your typical miso soup with the cubes of tofu. It was perfect for the night to warm up with since it was a cold night. The Tai Iced Tea is really good. Just a warning it is sweet. So if your not a person who likes sweetened drinks it may not be a drink for you. The atmosphere is nice. Like I said it is a small place, but the size makes it feel cozy. The waitress was very nice and was attentive. Enjoy! read more

We usually order from Lawrence Fish Market, but, wanted to find a place that was closer to home. My daughter recommended Gorilla Sushi so we decided to give it a try. We tried a variety of sushi rolls and the first 2 we tried are now my favorite rolls to order: spicy tuna roll and volcano roll. The spicy tuna is mixed with sesame oil and special spicy sauce - you get 6 pieces. The volcano roll is spicy tuna topped w/torched spicy scallop - 4 pieces. I like this roll because it's creamy, rich and has a slight char due to the torched spicy scallop. In addition to these 2 rolls, my daughter loved the spicy trio roll which is spicy salmon and tempura crunch topped with tuna, white tuna, spicy mayo, unagi sauce and tobiko. The special rolls, starters, regular rolls and nigiri are all $2.95. The special rolls have 4 pieces, the regular rolls have 6 pieces. The nigiri is 2 pieces. We also tried the bazooka jalapeno (2 pieces) which is deep fried jalapeno,spicy tuna and cream cheese topped with unagi sauce. I enjoyed this very much but would probably stick to the rolls. We also tried the fried shumai (4 pieces) deep fried shrimp dumpling served with homemade sauce. This was just OK and was slightly hard. Probably wouldn't order the shumai again. We tried both the Thai iced tea and coffee. Although I usually prefer the coffee over the tea, the tea here was a bit on the sweet side. Free bowl of miso soup with Yelp check-in. And, for a limited time, you get a free t-shirt for dine-in orders over $50. Gorilla Sushi is a solid choice for decent sushi at affordable prices. read more

Enjoyed good eating experience. Favorite was crunchy sweet potato roll. Go figure! Anything crunchy is fav of mine. Pricing was great value. Busy especially for takeout. I suggest a spicy edamame though salted version was fine. Friendly helpful service. Conversation friendly. read more

Definitely the cheapest tastiest sushi around. Extremely small place and very busy. You have to dry it, I usually order a ton of rolls.

Love this place! Just moved from JP to the suburbs but anytime I'm in the area I always order for pickup. The most affordable sushi and tastes good! The staff is always nice. I will keep coming back! read more

I have been ordering from here and this place always delivers on time. Sushi is made fresh and is packaged nicely. Overall the sushi is ok, definitely have had better, but their rolls are still good and flavorful. Definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

Super bummed we have ordered from here via grub hub 6 times in the last two months because we love their sushi and the variety. We normally stick to the same rolls or apps and they have always been delicious and consistent last night the spicy tuna on two items which are normally bright red were dark brown and looked and tasted cooked versus fresh and raw. The eel was not fresh and had a funny odor. The rice was over cooked and one of the roll pieces was just rice nothing else. When we called last night they apologized and said they were going to talk to their manager asap. Well even more disappointed that we didn't receive any call back especially after reading if raw tuna is brown it means it has spoiled which makes sense as the taste was unpleasant. An $85 order straight to the trash :( read more

Best sushi for the price. Local gem. Always fresh and quick for delivery or pickup . read more

Love their rolls, definitely have saved me from time to time when I haven't brought food to work

This place is AMAZING!!. I haven't had a lot of luck with other local sushi restaurants so I was very excited when I received my order! everything smelled amazing and tasted very fresh and flavorful (even after the car ride to my house!). My favorites were the philly, spider, and sweet potato roll But everything ordered was absolutely delicious! Anyway! You should definitely give it a shot! Wish I got pictures of all my food before digging in but I can already tell this will be a new regular sushi spot! (Not pictured was vegetable tempura, miso soup and spider roll!) read more

Not as good as it once was. Sushi came somewhat room temperature. We werent far from the restaurant so I don't understand how or why that happened. read more

Food was very fresh, and tasty. Service was on point, and byob makes it very affordable.

I feel a little funny rating Godzilla in Jefferson Park 5 stars when I rated the Uptown location 3 stars. But~~~it must be done! I went to the other location shortly after opening so I'm hoping it was just growing pains. Rolls at Godzilla are $3! I don't know how they can do it, but they do. Rolls aren't huge but at this location they are quite tasty and well made. Personally I stick to rolls at Godzilla because a bit of spicy mayo and cream cheese makes it all better. The quality of the fish seems just fine but I don't venture into the sashimi here because I feel like it wouldn't quite melt in my mouth. I'm passing judgement. I have a sweet potato roll obsession and was quite pleased with it from Godzilla! For three dollahs?! Is you kidding me?! I also loved the Spicy Trio Roll -spicy salmon and tempura crunch topped with tuna, white tuna, spicy mayo, unagi sauce and tobiko. Uh yes, please. Now those fancier rolls come with 4 pieces whereas the sweet potato roll is 6 pieces. It's pretty crazy though because I could stuff myself silly for less than $10 at Godzilla. Love Godzilla for what it is - decent sushi at mind blowing prices. read more
