I had ordered sushi from here for a very long time and have usually never had a bad experience. Today, I ordered through an online order and had it delivered to my house. I had ordered edamame, gyoza, two miso soups and three sushi rolls. My wife is a type one diabetic, and she specifically had requested the edamame. She was consuming this product and was popping the beans out of its shell when she got halfway through , she had popped out a bug or some sort of. I'm not sure what this is. Diabetics have a lower immune system so this could potentially send her to visit a doctor or even to be hospitalized. I am not sure if there is a new owner or new staff. Maybe they are feeling tired or overworked. I am extremely disappointed and repulsed by this. We threw everything else away. I reported this to uber eats . It is such a shame, we finally thought we could trust this place.

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.

Calamari

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.

Spicy Tuna Roll

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.

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!

California rolls and Volcano Roll.

The most disgusting sushi I ever had , did an order of California rolls and volcano and I couldn't even have a single bite , don't go and eat here , It's not worth your money . Thanks .

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!

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

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Miru…read more We were visiting Chicago for a short trip, and with so many excellent dining options, choosing where to eat wasn't easy. I almost decided to save Miru for our next visit, but I'm glad I made time for breakfast here on our departure day. Located inside the St. Regis Chicago, the restaurant offers beautiful views. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional. I ordered the Tokyo Breakfast. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with rice, a soft-poached egg, and salmon roe. The miso soup was slightly salty on its own, but it worked surprisingly well when enjoyed with the rice toward the end of the meal. Overall, a memorable breakfast experience. I'd love to return and try the lunch or dinner menu on my next trip to Chicago.

It's all about the views!…read more Miru is one of the newer sushi restaurants relatively uncompetitive sushi scene in Chicago, and it hits the spots for those interested in classy ambience and jaw dropping views. The sushi is phenomenal, as were our drinks... but the other entrees are disappointing. The karaage and duck yakisoba in particular in quality could be from any corner restaurant in Chicago. The service lends itself more casual, and I noticed they were consistently quite slow to clear our table. I don't think people come here for the food as much as the views. Overlooking Streeterville from this angle and vantage was truly jaw dropping and for this reason I still strongly recommend Miru.

Came here for the lunch omakase, which features dry-aged fish. Overall, the fish was fresh and…read morewell-prepared--nothing particularly mind-blowing, but definitely good quality, especially for a more affordable omakase option. My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Went for restaurant week with friends. Got there early after work and was able to hit the happy…read morehour which is a decent deal. Got the snow maiden sake and the spicy scallop hand roll. Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.

So pleasantly surprised! Came in on a Friday night for a 6:30 reso and the place was empty BUT it…read morewas packed, seemingly by regulars, by the time we left. Service was a little slow at time but they got slammed very quickly and and we weren't in a rush. What we got: - chuturo nigiri - so buttery - hamachi nigiri - good flavor and cut - chili hotate - love the flavor - negi toro maki - good flavor - unakyu- fine a little on the sweeter side - Amai - not my favorite and I think the tuna had a strong fishy flavor Overall, good meal and pretty reasonable bill. Will definitely be coming back to check out the rest of the menu!

Such a wonderful spot! Fantastic happy hour. Everything was made fresh and tasted delicious…read more Service was super friendly, and they even brought out a free birthday mochi for my friend. We got the karage, three of the skewers , and the spicy salmon and tuna rolls. This place, along with the entrance is a bit hidden, so would love to see them market themselves more as I think it's a spot people would really love, especially for more affordable sushi in the River North area. Quiet and cozy ambiance for casual outings but also cute enough to be a date spot. Got seated immediately. Service was a bit slow, but that's only because they seemed to have one host/server working at the time, who was working super hard and kept a super pleasant and attentive vibe. I will definitely be back!
