    Assorted sushi
    Anita P.

    I got the spicy salmon roll, dinosaur roll, unagi q, and mini Godzilla roll. Honestly for $4.49/set of 4-6 pieces this is a great deal in wicker if you're looking to satisfy a sushi craving. The order takes about 20 mins to come out so would order ahead for carry out. They also have plenty of seating inside as well.

    While I wouldn't say this place is one of the best sushi places in terms of quality, I love the fact that you can get multiple "mini-sized" portions. It makes it a lot more fun to come here alone, and I'm able to order 4 different things and it be until 20 bucks. If I had a larger party, I'd probably pick a different spot; however, for one or two people this is a fast, no-frills spot where you can enjoy different flavors without leftovers!

    Good

    The moment I walked in, the first thing I thought was it smelled nice and fresh. Adam provided great quick and welcoming service. He told us with the new changes to the menu and got our order in quickly without feeling rushed. There wasn't a lot if any of hot plates on the menu, so if you're not a raw fish person maybe try another spot. The sushi was solid, for the price. It's not the top top tier but a great spot to meet and catch up with my friend or stop after shopping etc. I only knocked it down a star because of the limited menu related to their hot plates.

    Good service and decent rolls for everyday meal. We liked the portion of ramen which was great for kids.

    Great value and bites!! Good quality sushi and great service. Spicy miso soup was a great addition to the menu!

    Great service and affordable sushi. We got a bunch of items off the $4.95 menu and spent around $30 for two people. Seems like takeout was also popular here.

    Chopsticks at table that look like they possibly reuse

    Solid sushi and reasonably priced. Stumbled on Gorilla while in the area. Ordered the shrimp tempura rolls and tempura appetizer. Pretty good. I enjoyed the roll. Sushi was fresh and tasty and was $8.95 which for the area is a deal. I see why while I was sitting in eating their delivery pick up was super busy with people constantly coming in to pick up orders. The location is small so not good for big parties. They play good music for a sushi bar. They have chopsticks in a jar readily at all tables which is different. Normally when you're at sushi restaurants they give you throw away chop sticks and hopefully they do the same with these and they're not reusing them. Service was Ok. Once I received my food, no one came back to check on me to see if I needed anything else before finishing so I deducted a star for this. I would come back for the sushi though.

    really affordable sushi and a variety of options. no wait when we came on a sunday dinner around 5pm

    very yummy, affordable, and fun music playing! staff is very kind, quick, and attentive.

    This was my first time ordering edamame from here and I'm shocked at how little I got for the $6 I paid for it. The picture doesn't doesn't do it justice. Very very tiny portion for the price and I had to season it myself because there was barely any salt on it.

    This was a great sushi place in Wicker Park--the sushi was very affordably priced, and everything tasted fresh. We were the last party that was seated for the night. The staff was very accommodating and had us order before our table was ready, as we were waiting. The soy sauce came in little prepackaged plastic containers to the table. The pieces of sushi were not huge, but for $2.50 a plate, who is really complaining?

    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.

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.

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.

    I live in LA and have eaten at 20+ omakase restaurants, so I was curious what Chicago's scene had…read moreto offer. Omakase Shoji more than answered that question. 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. Both sides of the menu showed real craft and attention to detail. Service was fantastic -- warm, attentive, and never stuffy. At $210 per person, it's a special occasion meal, but one that genuinely delivers on the price. As someone who eats a lot of omakase back home in LA, I wasn't sure what to expect. I left genuinely impressed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a serious sushi experience in Chicago!!!

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!
