Prompt service, eclectic decor and delicious sushi! You MUST try the garlic salmon roll - by far my favorite. The spicy miso soup was amazing. Pictured additionally: spicy scallop, unagi, and mafia rolls. BYOB to boot! read more

Best sushi I've had thus far. I ordered the Lemon Salmon, which wasn't even on the menu, BOMB and fresh! The miso soup was spectacular. I asked for the spicy miso which they actually put something in there that wasn't Siracha. I also had the garlic edamame which was amazing as well. The service was always tentative and allowed us to have a table even though it was all reserved. Need to come back to try other rolls. Only bad thing. PARKING IS A B! read more

No words to express how excited my fiancé and I are to have this AMAZING new sushi place just a few blocks from our home. Our new favorite spot!! We will be back here all the time. The fish was fresh, friendly and fast service, great atmosphere, INCREDIBLY DELCIOUS food... we loved and devoured every single thing we ordered... our waitress was so friendly and sweet. Loved her. And the owner was even nice enough to send out a free sample of the sesame ice cream to try!!! I would recommend this place to anyone. We will be back... a lot!!! Love this place!!!! read more

Komorebi Sushi - Top to bottom, red dragon, spicy tataki, Atlanta. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I moved into the neighborhood less than 3 weeks ago, had Komorebi one of my first nights in the new spot and have had it another 3 times since. It's that good. Easily the best sushi spot in all of Chicago! Incredibly fresh fish and inventive, delicious rolls and usually super quick for take-out! I've tried the garlic salmon (must try), crazy Philly, kamikaze, dragon, Acapulco, and mafia rolls. Each time I thought "this may be the best roll I've ever had and my new favorite". But I actually can't choose a favorite because it's all too good. Also the shumai and seaweed salad are top notch. This is the most enthusiastic Yelp review I've ever written and I mean every word! A must try. read more

Really good for some yummy rolls but not really authentic Japanese by any means. Nevertheless a yummy meal in a laid back neighborhood. They don't serve alcohol but there's a few places nearby to buy and bring in. read more

We always enjoy Komorebi. The sushi is a nice mix of classics and creative rolls, and it is always fresh. We normally get takeout because this is a small, popular place. Service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!!! read more

When I find a sushi place with a lot of veggie options that's usually a win for me. My cousins introduced this place to me and we ordered all 5 of the veggie specialty rolls along with garlic edamame and one spicy tuna roll. For the price, the quantity and quality was worth it! My favorite was the chili mango and green in rolls. The chili mango was spicy and sweet, and the green in roll had a perfect consistency of crunch and softness. The black garden roll would have also made it on the top of my list but the black rice was very dry. I would not suggest the green arrow because majority of the roll was made up of baby springs and had a bland taste to it, however, my cousins said they have had better experiences with the food quality and loved the green arrow last time they got it. I personally thought the food overall was great and will try Komorebi again to try more items on their menu! For a vegetarian that loves sushi, this restaurant is a must try! read more

Some of my favorite sushi in the area! I mainly eat around Logan, Bucktown and Ukrainian Village and this is place is high on my list. I had to try one of the signature rolls because they're all so unique. I tried the Fuji salmon and I find myself craving it all the time now. The service was super friendly and quick, and I love the eclectic cozy feel of the restaurant. It's also BYOB. Excited to try more from here. read more

It's a decent place to get your share of creative rolls and sushi. We were a group of five. Each of us had a miso soup and a salad, and we all shared six rolls. The rolls were decent. My complaint is that the portions are kind of small, keep that in mind when you're ordering. Everyone liked the "Turtle", a roll that looks like a turtle and is also the best tasting. For this hillarious roll alone the visit was worth it. read more

I get giddy every time we discover a new sushi place to add to our recurring repertoire in Chicago. Komorebi gets that distinction after our visit a few weeks ago. Hubby and I took our toddler here for an early dinner on a weeknight. It is a narrow place and dimly lit, but the decor and ambiance adds to the romantic, perfect date night vibe. We were seated in the back table where we could take in all the sights from the sushi bar and people watch. Thankfully they had high chairs. We started with an order of the edamame and black rice for toddler. The black rice had a slightly sweet flavor but nice not too sticky texture. Hubby and I shared the Smoky Hamachi. Presentation was dramatic with the smoke filled glass container. The yellowtail and ingredients were fresh and made a delicious flavorful unami combination. We then each had our own Chef's Picks 7 Piece Sushi and 1 Hand Roll because neither of us wanted to share. Again the pieces of fish were fresh and not cut into too thick pieces. Even the tuna was great (my judge for quality of fish since it's one of my least favorite ones). The hand roll was spicy salmon and delicious. We both inhaled every piece. Typically I don't comment on food prices in reviews since I believe good food in priceless but the prices here for the quality of sushi are really reasonable. Can't wait to return and try some of the other menu offerings...or reorder everything above again. read more

Love this place. Can't beat their prices and byob. They're always good about squeezing me in last minute and the service is great!

Best sushi place in the neighborhood if you ask me. I can tell the ingredients used in their rolls are of good quality as they taste very fresh and flavorful. I also love how extensive their menu is in terms of rolls. read more

Totally digging this place! The food Got the following: Crispy tuna Couple next to me was not a fan of this but I really liked it. I love the crunch of the rice and the really good tuna. Also super easy to eat with your hands! Love it. Smoky Hamachi Meh - Couple next to me recommended it and honestly it was more show than anything. Sure it's cool to see the smoke but seriously not worth it. I would not get this. Spicy Tuna Roll #2 favorite. So everyone has a spicy tuna roll but something about this was just awesome! I am still thinking about this alone and will be the primary factor I will be coming back! Fantastic balance of flavors and textures. Salmon Roll Why oh why do sushi places lately decided putting a lemon on a roll is a great idea? I hate it! I feel it takes away from the taste of the fish and way to overpowering. Not a huge fan of salmon either but I tried one piece and I was done. Kurogoma If only this was served everywhere!! I love black sesame ice cream and this was fantastic!! The crunchy pieces combined with the rest of the dessert was simply fantastic! The highlight of the night! The ambience A few large tables and really meant for group gatherings but you quickly make friends with people sitting next to you. Super romantic with the dark lighting and I believe it's a BYOB! The service Super quick and friendly. Even made room for us at last minute on a Friday night. Will be coming back for sure! read more

Holy cowabunga! That was some of the freshest sushi I've ever had in chicago. What stood out to me the most was that you could tell the chef cares about the ingredients he uses in his dishes and assembles each piece with care. They had me sold at the spicy miso soup. And it only got better with each dish we ordered: - spicy seafood. Sushi with pumpernickel WHATTTT WHO THINKS OF THIS. - lemon salmon. Perfect blend of tart, sweet, savory, textures #dead - Kurobuta hamachi: heat and soy and crunch and silkiness and yummmmmmmm - Tsukemono Saba: seared mackerel perfection Ladies and gents, this is definitely not your standard byob sushi place that just happens to be in your neighborhood. This is a standout. A real gem. A restaurant with a staff and a chef that genuinely cares. Five star and many praises. I'm in love. Would like to live here if I could. read more

Again yelp why are you so stingy with your stars??? Usually I complain about the half stars but this time around Komorebi demands about 12 of them. No review that I will write will do justice to the rolls that I had and the service that was provided. I knew that after last years Valentine's day disaster at Maple and Ash I wanted to go to a completely different place so I can actually enjoy my time with the husband. My friend suggested Komorebi and we called on the 13th and were able to get reservations at 7. When we sat down they gave us the option of having a semi preset menu or just picking from the actual menu. My husband is not the venturing type when it comes to sushi so we ordered from the actual menu. Our choices were: spicey edamame, miso hot soup, tuna poke, lemon salmon roll, cruncheese, caterpillar, soft shell, and ice cream. First of all the specialty signature rolls are to die for. They all sounded amazing but I had to pick safe cooked dishes. I wasn't upset because everything we ordered was so fresh and really delicious. I think they may have an aquarium in the back where they fish from. On to the service! Stella was our server and to say she was professional and well mannered would be an understatement. She was fantastic and really took care of us. The place is a great restaurant all around. So worth trying! read more

Adorable sushi restaurant with the cutest waitress. We were the only ones in the on a Sunday at 5.... how is this place not more well known?!? Found them on Yelp and decided to come in. I like this place way better than Yuzu - more unique and fun touches to some dishes like smoked hamachi (covered in a glass bowl of smoke when it comes to your table) and rolls with truffle oil. Sushi was really fresh and rolls were good too. Highly recommended! read more

I'm sitting in an other sushi restaurant right now wishing I was at Komorebi. I'm s very picky eater and honestly I have eaten at quite a few places and nothing compares!!! I'm always welcomed warmly and taken care off like I know them all. The food is fabulous I have quite a few favorites. Don't bother going anywhere else. This place rocks!!! P.s. my husband just said we should have went to Komorebi!! How funny... Love it read more

In the wild and tough times of the covid-19 crisis, I opened up Uber Eats and saw komorebi was still delivering. Honestly, this has become one of the staple restaurants for me in Chicago. Never knew sushi would equate to comfort food, but the quality I've come to expect from this restaurant has changed my mind. Thank you Komorebi! read more

Ordered delivery and was totally satisfied with the quality of the sushi. They have a great selection, including several unique and fun rolls, fair pricing and delivery arrived on time with a courteous driver. There is not much more I could ask for and will almost certainly order again! read more

The best sushi I have had in Chicago. Phenomenal fresh fish, careful attention to flavor and textural combinations for their rolls, and great service. I normally stick with nigiri and sashimi but we decided on some rolls and the rolls here are very well thought out. Oftentimes, sushi spots have rolls that are a mish mash of ingredients. Here, the flavors all went together in the black dragon roll, dynamite, and acapulco rolls. Lightly seared albacore sashimi is a must. Hamachi sashimi is a must. Fantastic sushi that is the Pearl in Wicker Park, where there are nearly 6 restaurants that serve raw fish within a half mile radius. Please try this place for yourself and make your own judgements. I highly rec this place. I could easily eat here weekly for the rest of my life read more

There should be a word for the elation one feels when a phenomenal sushi spot opens mere footsteps from your home. If it did exist, it'd make for the perfect opening to this review. The fish at Komorebi is fresh, delicate, and tasty. From the zuke salmon nigiri to my common measuring stick of a yellowtail scallion roll, Komorebi delivered. But where they shine is with their signature and special rolls. We tried three. Each blends disparate and delicious parts into marvelous wholes. The Hirame Obba Roll brought some heat and the fluke mixed incredibly well with the spicy tuna. The Dragon Roll was like other ebi/unagi rolls, but better. Finally, the Kurobuta Hamachi Roll was absurd. How have I never had tiny amounts of bacon subtly folded into a sushi roll before? I wish I had ordered one of these to go. Finally, the atmosphere is A+. Long slats of wood stacked up to a very high ceiling complement the elegantly plain wooden tables and the tables and artfully mismatching chairs by the window. Welcome to Wicker Park Komorebi! We are grateful to have you. read more

For 30 years we ate at Itto Sushi. The best ever in Chicago. But Juco SAN retired last April. We haven't had sushi since. But a new place just opened a half block from us. Wonderful! All the reasons why we love Komorebi: 1) great quality fish, superior to your typical sushi bar, in artistic presentations; 2) generous pieces; 3) great service; 4) beautiful atmosphere; and 5) BYOB! We are great aficionados of traditional sushi and this place hits all of our sweet spots. If you are looking for Japanese food that avoids the gimmicks and delivers an authentic experience, come to Komorebi. read more

Tried this place out recently after learning about it through yelp and was very impressed. We only got to try some rolls this time but each one was so delicious and unique. I highly recommend the angry crab and lemon salmon makis. The quality of the fish was excellent and each roll was very flavorful. The fish to rice ratio was also on point. I kept thinking to myself that the sushi was so much tastier and fresher than the other options nearby. I am already excited to return to try more dishes off the menu! Plus, it's byob! read more

The real deal. The food is delicious. Many innovative and unique rolls. Also great signature and classic rolls and nigiri. The atmosphere is awesome as well. Chic and modern with super comfy seats So glad to have a new sushi place in the hood. Will definitely be back read more

Overall great sushi with a nice, intimate setting! Food: Many things on the menu are unique and delicious. The Orange Salmon has a good kick of sweetness mixed in with the classic sushi taste. Really liked the Saikyo Yaki which is a cooked salmon dish, perfect for people who don't like raw fish. All of their rolls are delicious and there is definitely something on the menu for everyone. Ambience: Dimly lit with very nice, clean, rustic tables and decor. Perfect for date night or dinner with your closest friends. Music that is not too loud but fills in the awkward silences of conversations nicely. Service: Waiters / waitresses explain everything they are bringing out and give great recommendations. Always had water on our table. Very satisfied. In general, a very nice, new sushi place in Wicker Park with quality food and great service! P.S. Major plus in that the bathrooms are clean! read more

Komorebi sushi was delicious. The atmosphere is awesome, very reminiscent of other sushi places I've experienced, but new and clean, fresh. Just like the food. Very fresh and mouth watering. I ordered the Hon Maguro Poke to start, a recommendation by our waitress, Naya. It was very light and a good taste of what else was to come. Next, I had the spicy miso soup. best spicy miso I've ever had, by far! We ordered a variety of specialty rolls, one of the highlights was the Fiesta roll. I can't wait to go back and try the Lemon Salmon roll. The Kurogoma, black sesame ice cream was a refreshingly delicious end to a great sushi dinner. The service was great and overall, I would recommend a visit to Komorebi if you love delicious sushi. Ps. BYOB! read more

The best sushi you will ever get. SO fresh and SO good! I grew up where fresh sashimi were the norm so I am very particular about my sushi choices. But I really have to say, Komorebi never fails! If you haven't checked it out, please please check this place out! The staff is also amazing! read more

The only saving grace of this place was the staff and fast service. The sushi was incredibly bland. No taste and smaller then a gas station piece of sushi. Chefs need to rethink the menu. Staff was friendly but dead. Overall look for some other sushi spot in the area as there is way better. read more

Wow that is some amazing sushi and some of the best service EVER. I've been to many sushi joints in Chicago but very few hit the mark quite like Komorebi did. Most memorable of all the sushi rolls? The lemon salmon roll. Hands down the highlight of the night, seriously drooling just thinking about it. Got other rolls that night that I can't quite recall all of but it included the kurobuta hamachi and also one with orange in it. Rest assured, every single one of the rolls were flavorful and absolutely delicious. The space is a little bit more cramped than I would like but nonetheless not intolerable. Easy to get a table here even on the weekends, usually no wait. But I'd also like to note the speed of service! Good lord they are quick, all 4 or 5 of our rolls came out within 10-15 minutes of ordering. I'm sure for some people that can be moreso of a nuisance but i'm a hungry man and boy was I glad to find this place. The fastest sushi service i've ever had in my life. Overall an excellent place for some nicer sushi. Will definitely be back sometime! read more

Komorebi Sushi - Amazing chefs! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yes yes yes!!! Every dish has a well balanced flavors. From citrus to pearls popping with flavors. Each dish is thought out. Sushi and more...definitely more then just sushi. Their desserts are fantasic. I say start out with Orange Salmon. Finish with sesame ice cream or Yuzu cheesecake. (If you get both make sure eat cheesecake first because the extra sweet flavors of the ice cream) I need to go back and try every specialty rolls and appetizers. Tried about 10 dishes, and so far no hint of dissatisfaction. Best part BYOB, and if you bring your own saki they warm it up for you! Love the people here too and the vibe of farm fresh, rustic ambiance. Sushi and much much more! read more

This place is so good. To be honest, I was super skeptical the first time I went because I saw a roll on the menu with mozzarella cheese...usually a bad sign, but wow...I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the sushi at Komorebi. Everything I've ever had in the 5 times that I've been since moving to Chicago has been delicious. Make sure you try the veggie rolls too, I was so shocked by how much I loved the Orchard and the Chili Mango. Everyone I've taken there has loved everything. read more
