    sushi
    Sam L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The express lunch deal is so good! You get to choose 3 items from a nice list of options for $21!…read moreIt's really nice if you want to try multiple things or are indecisive. I got the salmon bowl, the salmon avocado maki, and tuna crispy rice. The salmon bowl was definitely my favorite. The salmon was cooked very nicely so that it wasn't dry, and I loved the miso glaze that they put on top. It added a very nice sweetness to the salmon and created a very nice char. It was pretty small portion size though. The salmon avocado maki was solid too. It was the most filling! You get 5 pieces :) The tuna crispy rice was just alright. The rice part was good, but there was a bit too much mayo in the tuna. The miso soup that came complimentary with it was good too! I like how generous they were with the seaweed. Such a nice vibe inside! It's definitely a nicer spot, but still casual enough for lunch. I wanna come back for dinner! Service was quick and server was kind.

The place wasn't that busy at this time but by the time we left around 6:30 it was pretty packed. Fish was decently fresh, not super creative combos out there like some places. I always get a salmon sashimi piece at the end to test the quality and it didn't disappoint. Everything else was fairly normal, probably not my favorite place in the city, but I got the job done.

It clearly is for all their locations. Unfortunately, here at Chinatown's location, when they attempted to scan the card, the staff said it does not work and only works at the Printer's Row location. I ended up calling the Printer's Row location and had the team talk to the manager at the Chinatown location, and the manager at the Chinatown location kept their stance that it does not work, stating Printer's Row location does not know why the gift card does not work at the Chinatown location, and will not make any exceptions to accepting the gift card. Thankfully at the Printer's Row location, they are stating it's due to their system being new as they are a new location, and reason why the gift card is not working at all the locations yet which they are now working on to fix so it does not happen to any other customer moving forward. I just wish the Chinatown location showed some compassion to address the issue and still accommodate the inconvenience instead of us having to go back to the Printer's Row location to use the gift card Price: Approximately $20, not including tip for 2 people. There are lunch specials! Ambience: Indoor Seating Overall: Worst experience, especially to follow up my birthday celebration

Since…read moreMiru is a sushi restaurant, I assumed the reservation times displayed would be for lunch, dinner, or at least after 5:00 p.m. However, because Miru is located inside the St. Regis, the hours begin as early as 6:00 a.m. I accidentally made our reservation for the wrong time! Luckily, when we arrived, they had room for us, and I was so grateful. We sat on the patio, which has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, especially if you can get a table near the glass. Unfortunately, there was one major downside: the lights Miru uses on the patio attract bugs--and a lot of them! The lights could not be turned off, and because the patio was full, we couldn't move to another area. I basically had to put mind over matter to keep myself from getting completely disgusted. Thankfully, the food was so good that it distracted us from the bugs for a while. We enjoyed the edamame, shishito peppers, seared salmon belly, kampachi, several of the signature raw bites, spicy bluefin tuna crispy rice, chicken karaage, wild mushroom sizzling rice, and the black cod. Everything was absolutely delicious! Despite the bug situation, the food and beautiful lakefront setting made Miru a memorable dining experience.

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.

The restaurant houses both an omakase counter and an izakaya, but in completely separate spaces. The omakase side is an intimate, beautifully designed counter with around 10 seats. We were the only guests that evening, so the whole experience felt wonderfully private -- just us, Chef Shoji, and the fish. Chef Shoji opens the meal by presenting the actual fish you'll be eating, all flown in twice a week from Japan or Spain. It immediately signals what kind of meal you're in for. The 20 courses were well-paced and the quality was consistent throughout. Nigiri and sashimi were pristine, but the hot dishes were equally impressive, which surprised me.
