Highly recommend the Hamachi Truffle roll, it was amazing, even at $19. We loved the spicy miso soup, and garlic edamame! Only drawback was that we were there for 90 minutes. read more

BYOB FYI. I feel I didn't know this before getting a reservation. They do not have any drinks other than water and tea. The staff are very nice though. I came here on NYE there were three adults and one child. They do not have bento boxes, karaage or dumplings. I got a hot green tea, and three rolls. The turtle, the mafia, and caterpillar. The were very small rolls, not well formed, very average. And we got the tempura sweet potato roll, although the sweet potato wasn't tempura there were just fried pieces on top of the sweet potato roll. Nevertheless it was better than the turtle. I also got the Spicy Miso Soup which was very good and spicy. They kindly gave us free mochi which wasn't on the menu. We were in and out within an hour. read more

Bare bones byob sushi bar. Uni and unagi are particularly good. Great spot after a show at the Den. Technically accessible but men's bathroom is very tight quarters. read more

I was so impressed by how many vegetarian rolls they offered on their menu. I only got to try the Black garden but it was delicious! Flavorful, well prepared, a true roll. Place was quick and efficient for orders too. read more

BYOB & chill neighborhood sushi spot Great and attentive service Good quality sushi for the price (it's a very extensive sushi menu) There's a lot of different options, some classic combinations (spicy tuna, dragon, etc) as well as more adventurous rolls. Loved how they cut the pieces slightly smaller than other places so you're not taking forever to chew through a bite. 10/10 would be back read more

This is hands-down, the best sushi in wicker Park. Whether you're eating in, or taking it to go, you will never be disappointed. Really kind people behind the counter, and very meticulous sushi chefs who always make the rolls look great. Very authentic decor inside the restaurant also. read more

Delicious sushi, lots of vegetarian options, and a chill ambiance that is not overly pretentious! I did make a reservation not knowing how busy they'd be on a Saturday night. There was plenty of space but I sat at the bar (although it picked up a bit as the night went on) and was able to watch the chefs prepare and chat a little with them. The service was fast and friendly. Knowing they are BYOB, I grabbed a drink from Garfield's nearby and the server at Komorebi gave me a glass but also provided water. I got edamame, the tequila roll, and chili mango. Honestly it was all delicious, but the chili mango roll stood out to me the most as the perfect complement to the tequila roll. The mango was so fresh and tasty. Highly recommend ordering them together! read more

Komorebi sushi has a huge menu, including a lot of very good veggie roll options. They have the basic veggie rolls like a lot of restaurants, but then they also have SIX speciality veggie rolls, which I have found is very rare for a sushi place! I ordered the crispy rice as an appetizer (which does have fish) and then the inari roll for my meal. All the veggie rolls sounded good but I ended up going with the inari roll because I love fried tofu and kampyo. This was overall a really good meal and I will definitely be back to try the other rolls! read more

I was surprised by how much I liked this place. Their specialty rolls almost deterred me from trying it out because I wasn't sure how all the flavors would work but I recommend trying Komorebi! Fish was fresh, service was quick and friendly. It is a cute and cozy place. We ordered - salmon sashimi - aloha roll - this was my favorite roll. I love fruity flavors with my food - dragon roll - a good classic roll - garlic salmon - I took the jalapeño out but this roll surprised me the most and I liked it. The garlic was strong but not overpowering - tropical - a refreshing roll read more

Such a nice spot serving up high quality sushi. It is fresh, and they have a mix of classic rolls and unique creations. The menu is enormous. We tried the white castle and garlic salmon, which were both tasty twists on classic rolls. I'll highlight the white castle roll, which has very creamy texture, much more so than you would typically expect from a sushi roll. It had salmon and mango inside, draped with a white tuna and a super-thin slice of jalapeno. But the star was the tequila roll. It had a very light spice to it that grew on the palette in a very pleasant way, and then a burst of freshness from cilantro and lime. It has tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and it's wrapped in a green soybean sheet rather than rice. It gets its nice from the fact that it's served with a wedge of lime like a shot of tequila. Pro tip: they don't serve alcohol, but it is BYOB. read more

My new spot for lent! The sushi was somehow more fresh that it was when I lived in California. Very good stuff. I recommend the Mafia roll

The sushi deluxe combo was a great deal for 2. It came with 10 pieces of nigiri, a caterpillar roll, rainbow roll, and salad. All pretty tasty and no complaints. I liked how there was some wasabi underneath each slice of fish in the nigiri - not every place does this! Wasn't too busy on a Sunday night but service was a bit slower than we liked - could be bc we were sitting by the window and it was out of the peripheral view of the staff. They were kind and helpful when we did catch their attention though! read more

Everyone needs a Komorebi in their neighborhood! Finally had the chance to try their menu and was so impressed. After spending a sizable amount of time perusing the menu, I settled on the Smokey and Green In rolls. I ordered via delivery and both survived the trip well with a lovely presentation to boot. The Smokey roll was absolutely outstanding- the charred salmon was perfectly complemented by a creamy shrimp filling and crunchy spice of jalapeno. Generally, I am dubious about excessive sauces on sushi, but the wasabi mayo perfectly tied together the flavor notes. A sprinkle of cilantro really took the dish to the next level. The Green In roll was excellent as well and very refreshing- the veggies were so crunchy and the sesame sauce brought a refreshing sweetness to the spicy jalapeno. I really appreciated how fresh all of the ingredients were (especially the fish) and that the fillings were very generous. Still dreaming about this sushi and already looking forward to next time. Can't recommend Komorebi enough! read more

This is still my favorite sushi spot!! Not much to update from my last review, except that I've been here 4 times now and I love it more and more each time! The food: We tried some new dishes and they were all amazing and worth a try!! Ocean vinaigrette: A unique roll that features a blueberry ponzi vinaigrette. It was refreshing and fruity in the best way! Tequila: A very refreshing roll with a spicy kick, wrapped in soy bean paper, and beautifully arranged in a floral shape! Hamachi Carpaccio: Thinly sliced hamachi wrapped around thinly sliced radish with a refreshing sauce!! Baked Sake Roulade: A flavor bomb!!! So good, a must try! read more

Takes too long like forever for to go orders. Never call for to go orders or order on any apps. 0/10

First time here and it was fine. They do have a number of vegetarian specialty sushi's, which is great to have the options, but overall they were fine. The place itself was nice. The service was probably below average. I waited on needing water with nobody coming to ask. They're was a lack of... Work with me in vegetarian substitutions, etc. They already had a lot of options, so anyway. Overall ok. read more

My go to for sushi I order here at least once or twice a week! Love the salmon avocado roll or the Megan roll and tomago. Always very fresh.

We stumbled upon Komorebi on a random weekday while craving sushi and decided to give it a try. Turns out, this was a pleasant surprise for a new sushi spot in the neighborhood. We ordered a mix of items--Salmon Avocado Roll, Yellowtail Scallion Roll, Black Monster Roll, Tequila Roll, and Fatty Tuna Nigiri & sashimi. All the sushi rolls were great, and the fatty tuna was really good. The ambiance is cozy, though it felt a bit hot and humid inside, which made the dining experience a little less enjoyable. But other than that, the food quality and prices were great. One thing to note: the fatty tuna was priced higher than what I've seen at other places, but it was still worth it. Service at times was slow but it was a busy night! Overall, a nice sushi spot with good food! BYOB read more

Love this sushi place! Service, vibe and rolls were all great! Fish and flavors were so fresh and bright. Service was attentive and friendly. Really enjoyed my experience here and cant wait to come back! read more

This is my favorite sushi spot in Chicago! I have to stop by every time I'm in town and it never disappoints. Make a reservation if you are planning on coming for dinner in the weekends. To start off, we had the garlic edamame and the crab crispy rice. Both were delicious, probably my favorite edamame. The crispy rice could've been more firm but it did not lack flavor. I got the Anne Thumbs Up sushi roll. The sushi was fresh and had great flavors balancing off each other. read more

We were surprised to be able to be seated right away for a group of 4 on a Friday. It seemed busy inside but I think many people were there for a takeout order. This place is BYOB, which I appreciated, since their menu is so extensive. I would want them to focus solely on their menu. We got Mackerel a la carte - this was really good. As for rolls, we shared the Mafia, Tequila, Orchard, Inari, and a couple other ones that I can't remember. The black rice ones were surprisingly really good. The menu is very big, so it is very overwhelming to read and choose. I also dislike the amount of super white tuna (escolar) usage - this is a fish that is not very digestible. I'd consider coming back now that I've seen the menu once. read more

With so many sushi places in wicker park, it took us a while to get to Komorembi but I have to say... it's by far the best we've had so far aside from Seadog Sushi! It's a little pricey but pretty standard for Chicago and worth it for the better quality. We went with a couple simple rolls - spicy tuna and California (you have to pay $1 to get spicy Mayo on the side, they almost forgot mine so check your bag). And two special rolls - the Dragon roll and sorry I forget the other name but tuna with crunchies on top and crab inside. The simple rolls were above par. Better than other places in WP for sure. The special rolls were both solid. I'd probably try something different next time though with all the options. The house salad was a good portion and the dressing was delicious! Overall, this heads to the top of our list for sushi in the area. read more

BYOB, but they will ice your sake and bring you sake mugs! While there isn't a gluten free menu, waitstaff is very knowledgeable about GF items and will bring you Tamari soy. Wide range of interesting and delicious rolls, from a classic unagi mango to a whitefish with truffle oil. The decor is casual and laid back, with lots of natural wood. Yeah, I'd go back! read more

We ordered the sushi supreme Togo and it was so yummy! It's a good price for how much you get. 10 nigiri and 2 rolls. The fish was very fresh, the sushi rice was the perfect amount under the nigiri with a small amount of wasabi, and they give a good amount of ginger. Will definitely be stopping by again to try other items. read more

There's several sushi spots in Wicker Park, but this is probably my fave! The sushi tastes fresh and is reasonably priced. I've tried a couple different rolls and they have all been great. They have a nice maki combo deal where you can get 3 rolls and a salad for $23. If you're in the mood for sushi and in Wicker Park, I'd recommend Komerobi Sushi! read more

I wanted to give this place 5 stars... I think 3 is being generous. Food was great! Service, not great. Our server was not very pleasant, didn't check on us once after we ordered (only took our order and dropped off the food). We also felt rushed the entire time. Sadly, the feeling was right. To our surprise, just about an hour into service right after the bill was dropped off at our table (without them asking if we were done) the hostess pretty much kicked us out. She stopped by and asked us to be done in 5 minutes because "other reservations would be arriving soon". Mind you, we also had a reservation, it was only two of us, we had only been there an hour at most, and we were just finishing up a glass a wine we had already poured before paying the bill when she gave us the 5 min time limit. Meanwhile the table next to us was there before we arrived, seemed to be missing half of their party and they didn't even start placing orders until we were just about done eating our meal. We were just two people, the table next to us seemed to have at least 6+ in their party, and others arriving at different times ... Don't think we will go back or recommend this place for that reason, service. I could understand if we were there a long time, not ordering food and just sitting around, being loud (like the table next to us) but this wasn't the case. We were actually hoping to order some more, but we weren't asked/given the opportunity. I realize we could have spoken up and said we weren't done yet, but by that time we weren't interested anymore and we didn't feel welcome so we lost interest and also just wanted to be finished. read more

I have been searching for great sushi places since moving to Chicago. This place is not only affordable, but it's fantastic! Some of the freshest fish I've ever had! I'm very picky when it comes to fish. I've been fortunate enough to eat sushi at the fish markets in Japan and Australia- two of the largest in the world, so I believe I am qualified to say what tastes like fresh fish. What we had: Yellowtail jalapeño ($14) "yellowtail topped with jalapeño and cilantro, and shredded beets with ponzu." It doesn't say it in the description, but this is Sashimi. Spicy, sweet, refreshing. Probably my favorite- which is why I had one at the end of the meal as well. Overall: 10/10 Ocean vinaigrette ($15) "rolled up with yellowtail, scallion, and avocado, topped with tuna, salmon, micro green, and blueberry ponzu vinaigrette." Very fresh. Nice sweetness from the blueberry; it's complementary without being over powering. Overall: 8/10 Acapulco ($10) "yellowtail, super white tuna, and avocado, harmonizing with the pungent flavor of cilantro jalapeño and house Mayo." Very mild. Fresh. Mostly creamy- somewhat from the mayo, but also from the white tuna and avocado. Not spicy at all. I didn't taste the cilantro or the jalapeño. I think this would be amazing served with ponzu tho, so I dunked it in the ponzu leftover from my first dish. Overall: 7/10 Tequila ($16) "One of the great choices for fresh taste. Tuna, yellowtail, cilantro, avocado, jalapeño, and house mayo wrapped in green soybean sheet, with generous drops of lime and chili oil." Fresh and spicy! Make sure you squirt the lime on it, it adds a depth of flavor. My boyfriend's second favorite roll. I like it, don't get me wrong, but the chili oil is more forward than the lime, so I needed to dunk this in some ponzu as well to balance it out. I might have been able to do the same if I'd asked for more limes. Overall: 8/10 Meguan ($12) "tasteful pleasure permeated with tropical vibes! Mango, tuna, and avocado, balanced top of mango and chili paste, drizzled with honey miso sauce and scallions." My boyfriends favorite and my second favorite. The mango is very much the forward flavor, but that sweetness is balanced by the spiciness of the chili. Overall: 9/10 Rollapop ($11) "tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado, and jalapeño, wrapped in cucumber, and sprinkled with basil ponzu sauce." Very light, basil forward. Not great after the mango. Would be better as an appetizer bc it's refreshing. I know I sounds like a broken record, but in my opinion this would be better with a different sauce, perhaps ponzu or even a yuzu drizzle, or yuzu koshu. I feel like the basil is almost overpowering and out of place with the rest of the dishes. If this was shiso, rather than basil, that would be amazing! Overall: 5/10 read more

4 stars for great location, cool ambiance, value, and extensive sushi/roll menu. This place is situated in the Wicker Park area amongst many other cool restaurants and bars. The vibe inside is cool as they play EDM music. They accommodated my party of 10 with no problem. They have a huge list of sushi and maki roll selection We ordered almost one of each and everything was delicious. The sashimi and all their fish items tasted super fresh and buttery. The server was friendly and accommodating, however, it took a while for our food to come out. Our food came out at all different times, to the point where it didn't make sense for us to wait for everyone to get their food to start eating. Some of us had finished our meals And some of us were still waiting for our food. Hence, only 4 stars. Besides the wait, the food was really good and fresh and the price point was just right. I love how innovative and creative their menu was. I will definitely return. read more

I have never been here, but got the food delivered recently because of the good yelp reviews. Somethings that I care about a lot when it comes to sushi restaurant are cleanliness, authenticity, and prices. I do not mind paying a lot for very high quality sushi, but if I want something delivered, I want them to be affordable. I also want them to not get me sick and taste good. My number one rule when ordering sushi is not ordering from a general Asian food restaurant. I want them to specialize in Japanese food. Anyway, Komorebi Sushi checked all the boxes. It looked authentic, fresh, high health score, and affordable options. I really liked the food I ordered and I definitely plan on ordering again. read more

Komorebi was actually my third choice after after unsuccessful attempts to dine elsewhere. I'm not a believer of fate, but I'm glad I found my way here. Perhaps it was slightly due to low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was mostly empty which is usually not a good sign. To be fair, we walked shortly after they opened for the day. I loathe imitation crab, generally avoid cream cheese and I don't think fruit belongs in sushi. The friendly server made recommendations after I informed her of my aversions. Everything was spot on. The Mafia roll was probably my favorite. The tuna was so fresh and the rice held together nicely. Any sushi chef will tell you the rice is the most important component of maki or nigiri. I've only been once, so I'll have to try again. For now. ..a solid 4 stars. read more
