Wow! Honestly, we have tried a LOT of spots around our place since COVID so we could support local businesses. Jieyi blew our mind. The food was so fresh. The combination of flavors were just on point. We loved the presentation. Having one big platter of sushi for family dinners or friends meet ups is great. The staff was also very friendly when I picked up our order. They will see me coming in a lot more now that we have found this gem! read more

Jieyi Sushi - Pink Lady Roll, Sweet Potato Tempura Maki, Ikura Nigiri, Phoenix Roll, Tako Nigiri, Mellow Yellow Roll, Bagel roll - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Unfortunately didn't have a great experience here. My friend orders delivery from them a bunch and loves it, but my bagel roll had terrible salmon in it. It was tough and had a "bite" to it. After examining it, it seems that the salmon was just not properly cut as there was tough fat and tendon-like pieces in it. It seems like it may be a fluke though as my friend's spicy salmon roll was great. I'll give this place another try but am weary after this experience. read more

The food is quite good. The service is outstanding. Paul was patient as we navigated the large menu and kept us comfortable every step of the way. From the window seat to the hot green tea all the way to the free green tea smoothie to soothe my sizzling taste buds. Sushi roll was solid. Spicy Asian noodle lived up to it's name and the portion was more than generous. The Basil shrimp entree was fantastic. The sauce was perfect. Paul brought us lots of tiny things to enhance the meal. Spicy mayo. Sugar crystals. Dimmer lights. Sliced green onions. Anything to make us feel at home. The food is a solid 4. The service makes this my first Chicago five star rating. Paul clearly takes pride in seeing people enjoy themselves. My only regret is living nearby for a year and not going. read more

Made an order after a long day, and our food never came. Called the restaurant and it was closed. No cancellation, no nothing. EDIT: The food arrived over an hour late, around 12:45am. While the order wasn't correct, the hot and sour soup was good. read more

I actually regret coming here. No one was here so I should have assumed that I shouldn't have eaten here. The Catapillar roll fell apart and there was hardly any eel in the roll. Very disappointed and honestly it was a dismal experience. When I told the waitress how I was not impressed and she offered absolutely nothing in return. I'm not that hard to please but this was honestly pathetic. Months later this review is still up and NO ONE has commented from the restaurant.. read more

Red Curry Chicken was great. Sushi was ok, but nothing to write home about. Definitely under staffed, as service and food took quite a while to arrive. I thought our host was very nice and kept our glasses full. The think that turned me off was how filthy, greasy, sticky the menus were, just gross. The restaurant seemed clean, as did the chef's counter. The serving size of my Curry was enough to feed two people. If I visited again, I would probably stick with the Thai selections and try the Ramen. Like I stated, no one at our table was impressed with sushi, taste or presentation. read more

Came here for a quick lunch during the weekday. The interior was nice and there was plenty of seating. It was early in enough that I was the only customer. I ordered the lunch special which was two rolls and a beverage. I got the salmon skin roll and the yellow tail. Both came out pretty quickly and I got a pot of tea for my drink which was nice to have as a choice instead of sodas. The salmon skin was nice and crispy but the sauce was really salty. The yellow tail was a bit mushy and had a slight fishy taste to it which may have indicated it wasn't the most fresh. Overall, really nice people running this business and id be back to try some of the other rolls to see if it was just a one time occurrence! So far I still like seadog next door better! read more

Had to walk out mid meal because the server intended on calling me Jamal, the most racist dining experience I've ever had by far. On Valentine's Day and blatant and loud made me and everyone uncomfortable. Had to send back the fried octopus it was raw in the middle and the server said don't worry Jamal will eat it.. the man was literally acting like it was an ed debevics or something.. read more

This place doesn't look like much if you're the type to judge a book by its cover, but you'd be wrong. This place does all the tricks that make a restaurant good without too much pizazz. The sushi is wonderful and always very fresh, and I am always extremely surprised by how good they are when I decide to try a new menu item. They have a very diverse pan Asian menu that is best in class. Notable items are crab rangoon, gua buns, pad thai, Chinese fried rice, and any variety of sushi. Paul, who seems to be a do it all server/ manager, provides the finishing touch to really make this a top dining experience, as he provides a very welcoming atmosphere while he makes jokes and generally puts a smile on your face. I always recommend this restaurant to friends, and it's always a great experience. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you try out Jieyi. read more

I came here when a friend had snagged a Groupon deal ($23 for $50 value).The sushi here was fresh and well made. Service and ambience was great. Although the place wasn't that crowded for a weekend night, the food was pretty good. The desert was okay- I was tempted to try the mango passion cheesecake, but either it didn't taste that good or the flavors didn't come out very well since it was still frozen when they served it to us. read more

Jieyi Sushi - After the destruction - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Only reason I am giving 2 stars bc the pork belly bun and walnut shrimp were delish. Sushi was not very nothing special. Go to butterfly for sushi. I purchased a Groupon pre covid for $25 , $50 of food-4 can dine. They would not honor it bc we only had two people. There was one other table in restaurant , you would think to gain repeat customers you would honor it. I came from the Southside, had to ask for knives, chopsticks and and soy sauce. Feel disappointed about the customer service. Never has a place said there has to be 4 people if you are still spending over the amount. read more

I love that they are open so late. The food was ok. It's definitely "you get what you get" when you order delivery late at night. Honestly, I would order from here again. The quality was ok, delivery was from UberEats. read more

It was delicious, well seasoned and light. We will def come back! Thank you again Kim for such wonderful service! read more

Five star food for sure! I've been here a few times now so it's time I wrote them a review. I've tried a little of everything: noodles, fried rice, orange chicken, a bunch of sushi and everything has been delish but the sushi is best I think. Just look at my pics. The tuna tataki was the bomb- wish I didn't have to share it. The chips and tuna sashimi (forget the actual name but it's an app) was excellent. Just like poke. Generous portions and such nice people. Def give it a try! read more

I got a living social deal for Jieyi Sushi which was a double bonus because not only is this place down the street from me, I'd been meaning to check it out since I moved in. We went around 4pm on a Saturday and the place was empty. A little cold, but I've found most asian restaurants in the city are (idk why). I wish I could remember specifically what we ordered but literally everything was phenomenal. We got a specialty roll and then a sushi platter which came with a maki roll and nigiri. Honestly, we didn't need the specialty roll as we were both TOO FULL by the end. Ordered cold saki which was really good, just enough in the bottle for the 2 of us. Our total bill was close to $60 for the 2 of us but for good sushi, it was TOTALLY worth it. I paid $12 for $25 for the groupon. Honestly, and I feel bad (almost like I'm cheating) saying this, but it was better than Sea Dog- which if you are a wicker parkian you know sea dog is a staple. Disclaimer- I've had friends come here and have mediocre experiences, but we really thought it was fantastic. Service was fast and food so fresh, like it just came out of lake michigan ;) Will definitely be back. Pro tip: they are new in the 'hood so find yourself a groupon/living social and take advantage of a slightly cheaper visit. No doubt they are building clientele with this deal! read more

The food and atmosphere were excellent! For an appetizer we had Takoyaki ( fried octopus) what a choice. Never had it before and it was so good. For my entree I had Pad See Ew with beef. So much food. Service was a bit on the slow side (and it wasn't busy). We sat in the cubbie by the front window. A little weird getting in there, but we wanted to look out the window. Would fully recommend read more

The miso was very full and delicious. The spicy tuna roll was also delicious. It was a little spicier than I'm use to but it was good! Wish I had more ginger and less wasabi but that's just my preference. I also wanted the green tea ice cream and was sort of disappointed in how it was $6 for a small tub. read more

When I was a less seasoned sushi eater I went exclusively to All-You-Can-Eat restaurants. The kinds that pack the sushi rice so dense it undergoes a blackhole formation. The kind that slices the fish so thin you can see for miles. By the 5th piece of sashimi you've already consumed half of Japan's yearly export on sushi grade rice packaged into a lego brick. Anyways, this place is not that. Their slices of sashimi are HUGE and I hope that trend continues well past their grand opening phase. I've been here twice with a Groupon deal and ordered 4 rolls (and other stuff) each time. What stood out: The Ocean salad came highly recommended by the staff and it could be a meal in itself with the amount of sashimi and seaweed in there. Really enjoyed the Salmon Delight roll specifically because of the scallop and thinly sliced lemon on top -- very refreshing and a new flavor. The Pink Lady sounded interesting on paper but I sabotaged myself because I actually don't like Sriracha ever since it became a main food staple for American chefs creating anything remotely "Asian". Still, pretty good and no fault of their own -- that's just me. What was good but also didn't stray too far from other places: The Caterpillar and Godzilla roll were very delicious but also American classics. If you come here it would behoove you to get their unique rolls. The hospitality and attention from the staff is what will have me coming back for more, even after their specials go away. After 40 pieces, salad, and complimentary Taiwanese style popcorn chicken, I was starting to fade (the signs of onset food coma). WOULD COME BACK read more

I took my three kids, such picky eaters and they ate everything in sight. My oldest even said I feel like I just had my thanksgiving meal so full but so happy at the same time lol! Will definitely go back with friends and also with my husband for a nice romantic dinner!! read more

Is there a food known to man more polarizing than sushi? Some could eat it multiple times a week while others develop dry heaves just at the mention of the word. Those who are passionate about it are really passionate about it. How many times have you said, "X restaurant has the best sushi in the city"? Sushi's not the type of food that's going to illicit a response like, "I could take it or leave it." Look closer, and even for those that love it, one (what seems like) minor ingredient change or substitution can make a piece of sushi gag-worthy or the best thing ever put into one's mouth. For example, I'm an enormous sushi fan, but give me a roll with shrimp and I'll give you a rage-filled man. Give my dining partner cucumber, and she's liable to make sure you never walk again. Yes, we're sushi lovers, but we don't love all types of sushi. And that makes writing and trusting sushi reviews so difficult. A rainbow roll could contain the same ingredients, but whether you eat it at a sushi bistro in Walla Walla or Williamsburg, it's just gonna taste different. "Jieyi" means "to care about" in Chinese. And though Jieyi Sushi provides some Chinese inspired cuisine, you'll mainly find Japanese and Thai here. After several sub-par sushi experiences in the neighborhood, my dining partner procured a Groupon to give this still-relatively-new spot a try. On this Friday night, we were seated immediately and provided with water. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, with warm colors and no distracting music. The restaurant is an adequate size with plenty of seating and options to eat in a secluded space by the window or at the sushi bar. My dining partner began with an order of Miso Soup. Taste-wise it was unexceptional, and contained enough seaweed for three more soups. We split some Nigiri, which tasted fresh but on the bland side. As for the sushi, dear reader, we ordered two rolls: Rainbow (Eel and Tempura Crunch Wrapped with Yellowtail, Tuna, Salmon, Avocado) and Mellow Yellow (Salmon, Tempura Crunch, Avocado, Spicy Mayo, Topped with Mango, Ginger Sauce, Dried Chili Flakes). Service seemed a tad slow, but not unbearably so. Plus, I understand it takes time to prepare the sushi a certain way on the plate. We were drawn to the inclusion of mango on the Mellow Yellow. It was tasty, but I'm not sure it was necessary other than to give the roll its rhyming name. I wouldn't get it again, but I'm glad I tried it. The Rainbow was a bit better and I thought the presentation with the different types of fish displayed was a real knock-out. Like the Nigiri, everything tasted fresh and not at all fishy. The portions were a good size, if we hadn't gotten the Nigiri, another roll (the Firecracker, perhaps?) would have been in order. Jieyi Sushi also offers sushi boats, ramen and special plates of various proteins. The waitress was extremely attentive throughout, and the Groupon was happily accepted. We were even given fortune cookies at the meal's end. Mine promised, "everything will now come your way". Everything? After I got to thinking about it, I felt pretty overwhelmed and have been curled up in the fetal position since. I've been to a handful of sushi restaurants in the Wicker Park neighborhood (only about a million more to go) and this is the current frontrunner in terms of taste and bang for your buck. If you can snag a Groupon, it's really a no-brainer. Food: **** Atmosphere: **** Service: **** Overall: **** read more

I have no idea what their ramen or hot dishes are like, and from other reviews I've read I think that might be their shining point. But if you are looking for anything close to classical sushi or not dyed literally pink, this is not the place for you. I love raw sushi and I think I have a high standard for sushi, maybe that's why I'm giving two stars instead of one. I hate to leave a negative review in covid but I'm mostly saying don't order the sushi, stick to the hot stuff! The spicy tuna... the memory is not good. Go for the ramen or cooked sushi!!! read more

I went here for my birthday this year and had a great experience. First of all their sushi tasted so fresh! I ordered the dragon boat and was not disappointed. This boat comes with sashimi and one roll of your choice. The salmon sashimi was my favorite. Our waitress was so friendly and recommended great, strong drinks for all of us. While we were waiting for our food, we were brought complimentary lychee margaritas, and they didn't even know it was my birthday yet. When my friend inquired if it was because of my birthday, they brought us a complimentary desert of chocolate cake and frozen green tea mocha balls. So good! We also got a bottle of red wine for free! I'm not saying this will happen to you if you go but at the very least go check out their sushi. It was delicious and the service was outstanding! read more

Ordered this for late night sushi. It was horrible. Everything tasted bad. The ebi nigiri was slimy and the California roll was spoiled.

So I ordered a California roll and a Sweet Potato Roll and didn't finish either one and on top of it ended up getting sick from it. The food did not look fresh nor did it taste fresh. Definitely will not be going back or bring my family to this place. read more
