My favorite sushi spot in Wicker! A great menu and even better that it's BYOB. They also have a wide selection of veggie sushi. I ordered from there last night, and after my Door Dash driver stole my food, Komorebi so kindly threw in a free salad with my new order. Love this place! read more

Komorebi Sushi is consistently excellent. They deliver high quality sushi (my favorite in Chicago) at a strong value. I personally recommend the Mafia Roll and the Red Dragon, though you can't go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu. Their salads with peanut dressing are excellent as well. Highly recommend Komorebi as a top tier sushi carry out spot. read more

Rolls are slightly above average but tbh nothing really stood out. In their defense this was merely takeout but I'm not sure "dining in" would change my opinion. I appreciated the fact that the price point wasn't outrageous & their was a fairly extensive menu available. Twas hard to choose which rolls to order imho. There was plenty of paid parking on the street & an option to order online. I prefer to have my food as fresh as possible & I encourage you all to do the same because I've been given wait times of up to one hour & trust me if you show up early you'll discover that not only is your food ready but probably has been sitting in room temperature or under a heat lamp. I digress, my foods came out in under 10 min. The rolls were beautifully made & I even received a complimentary miso soup which was appreciated. I'd maybe return but this definitely wouldn't be my 1st choice as far as sushi options go. read more

Love this small clean and delicious sushi joint. So many great rolls to choose from. We love them all. I have been here now three times zero complaints. Nice staff and cute ambiance. Always so fresh and yummy! Reasonably priced as well. read more

When Komorebi first opened, I loved the innovative and aventurous taste of their food. The presentation was very appealing. The service was excellent. I went back a couple of days ago and I was a bit disappointed. It became very mainstream. I wish for them to bring back the old menu. While the service still remains great, the food has nothing special to offer at this time. read more

Thankful for my fellow yelper @nickolette Waldman for turning me on to the best sushi place in town. I've been everywhere from little hole in the wall sushi restaurants to some of the most expensive in the city, and this is in the middle but by far the best I've ever experienced. The staff is so welcoming and accommodating. It's byob and we brought stuff to make margaritas, they made our experience complete with a bowl of fresh limes and ice to shake our margs. Talk about service!! All of the rolls we had were amazing except for the dynamite roll. (It's a roll with melted mozzarella cheese, just whatever you do don't get the dynamite roll). Our absolute favorites are the mafia roll, the R & G roll, the garlic salmon roll, and the baked sake roulade. Whatever you do please start with the baked sake roulade appetizer it will change your life. I could eat 70 of those. A great sushi place this is very adorable, has amazing service, BYOB, and a culinary experience that will blow your taste buds out of the water. read more

The sushi here was delicious! Definitely worth coming to this restaurant. I always order miso soup and this was the first time they had an option of spicy miso soup. It was a nice extra touch and gave it a little kick! We had the seaweed salad which was a little bit too sweet. We had the Uni shooter, which was a fun way to start our dinner together and be able to cheers. The shooter was very yummy, also! The sashimi platter came with 15 pieces of a variety and there were tons to choose from and were all so fresh! The caterpillar roll, dragon roll, spicy tataki are all worth trying, but the mafia roll is a must! The only issue was that this place was BYOB. Luckily jewel osco was across the street so we could go grab a bottle of wine! read more

Have consistently looked forward to almost weekly takeout here since COVID-19. I was so impressed with the system they put in place immediately to keep pickup/delivery very safe and efficient. And the sushi is still FANTASTIC! Komoerebi if you're reading this, please never get rid of your Sushi Supreme entree! This is one the best deals in town, with 10 pc chef's choice nigiri (perfect rice, fresh, well cut, flavorful), along with a rainbow roll and dragon roll. It also comes with a generously sized house salad with their delicious peanut/ginger dressing. It always makes me smile that they manage to cut the one-two grape tomatoes on the salad into about 8 slices ;) The dragon roll is your classic dragon roll, with fresh yummy eel, generous avocado, crabstick and eel sauce. No cream cheese, yay! The rainbow roll is a standout as they use a fresh, sweet crab mix inside rather than crabstick. It is draped with delicious cuts of a variety of fish and lightly sauced so you can taste all the fish flavors. All of these delights for $43! - This is plenty of food for two people, but we might throw in in extra roll if we are feeling decadent. Highly recommend you support this place for all of your sushi needs. You will not be disappointed! read more

If you want an honest feedback on this restaurant, READ THIS POST!! I ordered from this restaurant through Ubereats, the delivery driver scammed us and took my food. But the restaurant was super cooperative and they made another delivery very quickly. The food here is VERY DELICIOUS. They gave me a free ice cream due to the inconvenience too. I would definitely order from Komorebi again! Please support this restaurant!!! read more

Most sushi special rolls selection I've ever seen. Fresh sushi, clean, nice servers and cozy Asian ambiance

My husband and I came here for a casual, impromptu, weekday sushi date (the best kind of date). I had reservations, but they weren't needed (unless you're racking up Open Table points, like myself). The service was cheerful, attentive & all of the food came out quickly. It's BYOB (yess!) and so we came prepared with a bottle of white to wash down our sush with! Rolls: - Turtle Roll: *This was my favorite roll of the night* So cute because it's shaped like a turtle! So tasty becaue of unagi, avocado & shrimp - Tequila Roll: It has tuna & yellowtail, but you have to like cilantro in your rolls to enjoy this one... which unfortunately I'm not a fan of - Black Garden Roll: Interesting Vegetable Specialty roll with avocado, jalapeno & mango then topped with avocado, more mango & shittake mushrooms makes this a unique & earthy roll - Spicy Tataki Roll: It's on FIRE when it comes out! I honestly don't remember how it tasted, because my brain only remembers the fire! All of the rolls were tasty, but many weren't my favorites. It was good enough (& BYOB enough) so that I would definitely come back, but I would probably branch out with different rolls. read more

Komorebi does specialty rolls and plates well, and the creativity makes them stand out from your average BYOB sushi restaurant. The sake roulade, which is king crab wrapped with salmon, then baked and topped with green onions and tobiko was a standout! The seared tuna salad had a delightful light touch, not a lot of strong flavors in the pepper seasoning or peanut ginger sauce so you can still taste the fish. Without the extra fixings, the sashimi was not as impressive, with small portions and fish that lacked firmness. If I didn't have this, it would have been 5 stars. Dining in was not an option during shelter-in-place times, however packaging and presentation of take-out was impeccable. read more

This is a nice sushi spot in Wicker Park! Conveniently located across from a Jewel so you can easily partake in the BYOB policy. The spicy garlic edamame wasn't really spicy at all, but tasted good. If you like edamame I'd suggest picking that one instead of the plain. For our rolls we ordered the red dragon, dynamite and tequila roll. The dynamite roll had crab, avocado, cucumber, white tuna and spicy mayo in it. I felt like there was too much going on that I couldn't really find the roll in the mess. Featured below. The red dragon roll was also good. It had crab, avocado, mayo and a glossy red tobiko sauce that made it look very aesthetically appealing. My favorite item was the tequila roll, featured below. It was wrapped in a soybean sheet and consisted of tuna, yellowtail, cilantro, avocado, hints of jalapeño and a a creamy mayo sauce. The roll is also topped off with drips of lime and chili oil. It tasted like no other roll I've ever eaten before. One of my friends doesn't eat spicy food, but she really liked the tequila roll. FYI - the tequila roll doesn't have actual tequila in it. It would be nice if this spot was AYCE though. Sushi never fills you up unless you buy crazy amounts of it, and I don't think sushi is worth $50+ a meal for one person. I'll be back for a light dinner again though regardless! Service was decent as well! I think I'll need to visit a few more times to comment on this better. read more

Komorebi is a go to for BYOB Sushi. Well this was my first dining experience at Komorebi but I left throughly impressed with their sushi. I was taken out for my birthday by my fiancées parents who highly recommended Komorebi. With a smaller crowd on a Saturday night, our table of 8 enjoyed my birthday sushi byob meal ordering at least 10 rolls for the table paired with the usual suspects for sides: edamame, miso soup, salad, and crispy tuna. The usual suspects aka the side dishes were all stellar led by a delicious salad that had an incredible salad dressing, the crispy tuna was out of this world and I also enjoyed the spicy edamame!! The star of the show was the sushi. We ordered standard rolls like tuna and salmon but we also stepped our game up and ordered luxurious rolls too. The lemon salmon was spectacular and also the crispy tuna roll. Both were home-runs along with the rest of the sushi. I want to add that I was surprised this restaurant was not as crowded because they are in an happening area off Milwaukee in Wicker park, so the location is a winner. The service, food and interior design were also all impressive. We all thought that the interior looked more like an upscale Asian restaurant and I was treated to good service and a birthday dessert which was kind of them. Overall we all Enjoyed everything and will plan to come back! read more

Komorebi Sushi - My only pic as I was busy eating 10 rolls!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Man is this place amazing. I ordered delivery through Doordash - got the shumai and the Ocean Vinaigrette roll. They arrived on time, quicker in fact - on a friday night. I know we are mid pandemic so its not like they're full but I'm also sure they're understaffed and have a ton of orders for take out and delivery. And if they don't, get on that - believe me, it's sooo worth your money. The food was fresh, the roll was AMAZING and the shumai was simply perfect. I can't wait to order again. read more

Able to get in here on a Friday night around 630 without reservations. We were starving and ordered right away. Food came out super quickly. The good rolls are a bit pricey but really average priced compared to yuzu and other good sushi places in the area. Service was fast and friendly. The salads are a little high priced for just a house salad. The sushi, however, was delicious. Prices are going to be expensive ($13-16) in the area for the specialty sushi options anyways, so I would recommend this place for your next sushi dinner read more

Been living in wicker park now for 5 years and just finally learning about this place. Been a fan of sushi taku but if you are looking for some quality sushi that isn't an all you can eat option, I'd highly recommend Komorebi. Didn't even realize until looking at the menu that they are affiliated with Rollapalooza in Lakeview which I was a fan of. Exact same menu and just as good! BYOB too. Would recommend and already ordered carry out a week after my last visit. read more

Absolutely delicious very fun sushi restaurant. BYOB which is nice! You can make a reservation or walk in which was nice. The service is awesome and super friendly. We loved the atmosphere and music, great place for a date or group dinner. The rolls were awesome and they even were able to help customize and accommodate rolls by substituting options as I couldn't eat raw fish. Very fresh and on point. I must also give a shoutout to the edamame which was served fresh and piping hot in a sizable portion. There are a lot of sushi restaurants around the area but i would totally give this one a try. The rolls are pretty sizable too as you could get away with 1-2 rolls per a person, depending on hunger levels. We were only slightly hungry and one roll was perfect. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and the quantity of choices. We were a large group of 8 and e everyone enjoyed the meal. The BYOB is a nice option as well. read more

As I've said in many reviews before, Chicago is a disappointing sushi city, and Komorebi is unfortunately no exception to this trend. The 1 great thing here is the uni shooter. In Chicago, the issues range from lack of knowledge in keeping fish fresh for a long time, lack of traditional sushi chefs, and a majority of sushi houses being mass-production style (ex: 4+ sushi men of all ages who crank mediocre sushi out). There are not many houses who do traditional sushi (1-2 sushi chefs trained for years, focusing on consistency and quality). Komorebi follows the modern trend. There are 3-4+ sushi men... but for whatever reason are extremely, extremely slow. They are also understaffed. Couple slow sushi men with extremely slow and haphazard waitresses, and it's a nightmare. It was so slow that the hostess began waiting tables to help... it was still painstakingly slow. We waited 45+ minutes for 3 rolls, sashimi, and 6 uni shooters. We almost left. Sadly, everything was mediocre, from taste to plating (sushi is served in BOWLS). We ate 1-2 pieces of each roll and left them all, because they were just really bad. They had very off and weird tastes. We had to get waitresses' attention many times to clear our plates and shooters. The 1 good thing here is the uni shooter (better than Kaizan's, which are too sweet. Note: I gave Kaizan a mediocre review, too). I would come back... but only for the uni shooters, and if I could order them 1 hr in advance. If this was solely an uni shooter restaurant, I would give it 4 stars but note issues with service--but since it's not and has all the above issues, I give it 2 but recommend only the uni shooters. read more

Komorebi Sushi - Mafia and Crazy Philly Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Oh my LORD this place is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!! I've had a ton of sushi in my life and the sushi here has by far been the BEST I have ever had, even compared to sushi restaurants that are way higher in price. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place when we saw the "grand opening" sign and decided to try it. Best decision ever. First off, the interior is very romantic. I would definitely recommend this place for a first date or if you want to impress someone. The decor is warm, plush and inviting. The staff, from the moment we entered, was incredibly welcoming and it felt very sincere. Our server knew the menu well and answered our questions and gave her own opinions on items as well. She was a total doll and the other waitstaff were very attentive as well. Now the food is what is most important. We ordered the Scorpion roll which was seared spicy tuna on top of soft shell crab with tobiko on top. It melted in our mouths. It was SO flavorful my eyes were rolling back. Get this roll. Next we tried the Tsukemono Saba roll which had binchotan charcoal seared mackerel over spicy crab, cucumber, avocado roll with Japanese pickle salsa drizzled with ponzu and chili oil. This also, melted in our mouths. The flavors just danced with each other and everything was just so tantalizing. The presentation was also beautiful I think what sets this place apart from the rest is that the chefs use their own unique and special sauces for the rolls. The server told us that we should try the sushi without soy sauce first because the chefs already use special sauces for the rolls. We tried it and they were right--no soy sauce needed. This creates a very unique tasting experience and it really shows how skilled these sushi chefs are For dessert we had the Yuzu, which was Yuzu fluffy Japanese cheesecake, yuzu meringue cookies, strawberry puree, yuzu cookie crumb, shaved white chocolate Honestly we were just in heaven tonight. The whole experience was amazing and it just proves that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for excellent sushi. This place is better than any of the over hyped restaurants downtown in river north that just boast big $$$ but fall short on flavor. We definitely found our new happy place and will be back asap. We also gave our regards to the sushi chefs when we were leaving and they were the nicest, warmest and most gracious chefs ever. I know this place will become ridiculously successful and am so happy that they have joined the neighborhood I can't rave enough about this place. Love love LOVE read more

I don't write reviews on yelp anymore because for most restaurants, the ratings are quite accurate and I don't see the necessity in contributing my stars to them. However,,, since this place just opened, I'll pave the way for y'all. Other than at higher end Chicago area sushi restaurants, such as Momotaro, Juno, Katsu, etc., I swear I have NEVER had sushi in this town that comprises the absolute essentials of quality sushi: flavor, texture, freshness, and the perfect balance of the three. Komorebi succeeds at meeting all four with adding a refreshing twist of its own, all whilst filling the stomach, without emptying your pockets. Now, let's talk kitchen food. If you're a foodie and/or a home chef, you know how difficult it is to come across that juicy, tender, succulent pork tenderloin that just melts inside your mouth - leaving you shocked and sad that it has left your mouth so soon fo yo stomach? Komorebi's pork tenderloin katsu will make you cry and your mouth jizz with excess saliva. I'd love to write about all the dishes I've tried, which is a lot (please see photos), but I'd rather not bore you any longer with my wordiness. All in all, the service is great, the food is well-balanced and spectacular (there is not a single complaint I have with their food), the price range is more than reasonable, and there is ample street parking available in the area. Just go. read more

An average sushi spot that features the standard sushi fare. Fish was a bit soggy suggesting frozen vs fresh. BYOB

Their sesame ice cream dessert was quite delectable. The ice cream has strong sesame flavor. Sesame brittle adds loose crunchy texture that complements well with its black sesame centric theme. Flavor profile was excellent! The Japanese wooden name plate also added touch of authenticity to the restaurant, although I believe the staff and sushi chefs are Korean. Nothing wrong with that, there are just far fewer Japanese people residing in the Midwest. read more
