Great place if you're looking for an authentic Japanese food. I ordered the udon tempura set. The set comes with 6 piece California roll and a one shrimp tempura . The broth is very tasty doesn't seem like they use a lot of msg. Not bad $11. I also got a drink Calpico it's a Japanese citrusy flavor drink. They also make fresh roll and sashimi when you order. They have sushi chefs that makes sushi right in front of you. They have pre- made rolls you can pick from. With all the different food drink and snacks. It almost feels like a mini Japanese super market. You go up and order they give you a number and you find a seat. I would say they have 14 tables of two. Sea ranch gives you the Japan feel. So not the biggest place but it works. It's street parking you have to pay for. Unless you park 2 blocks down in the neighborhood then it's free. Great place highly recommended! read more

Food: The sashimi combo and seaweed salad were delicious! No complaints at all. Seaweed salad was super fresh, and so was the sushi/sashimi as well. So worth the value for the price! Service: Sushi was so fast! We came at like 5:30 on a weekday, so it wasn't super busy. The cashier was also friendly. Ambiance: I love it, it's like a mini Japanese style mart. Really clean as well, and a lot of yummy Asian things to buy. read more

The food is fresh, price friendly sushi. And they have a little grocery area with fun imported food. Try them it's worth it. read more

I really like this place! I decided I need some sushi to celebrate the end of the week followed by Netflix so I explored their menu and placed my order. The price of sushi is very reasonable and they have all kinds of interesting rolls among other things. I kept it simple and ordered a couple veggie rolls and a miso soup. My order was ready a bit later but I was in no rush. Went to pick it up, and the place is very clean and cool inside. They have plenty of fun Asian groceries to grab and try at home. They were packed on a Friday night with to go orders but you can also grab a small table to eat inside. My sushi was well packed very neatly and tasted very good! I would for sure return for fish sushi! Depending when you go, street parking can be tough but you may find parking in the neighborhood. read more

This place provides authentic Japanese food with modest prices. Nice and friendly atmosphere!

i absolutely love sea ranch! it's been my go-to for the past few years in evanston, especially when i'm craving sushi or japanese food in general. the food is always delicious (the spicy tornado roll is my favorite) and i love trying the rotating specials they have! my friends and i always default to meeting up here because we love their food and the casual atmosphere. the staff are always very polite and friendly, and ive never felt rushed at a table. a couple times i've ordered curbside pick up or had my order delivered to me in pour, which is also very convenient. if you buy sashimi grade fish, they also offer to cut it up for you, which is really nice! the selection of grocery items like rice, seasonings, snacks, instant ramen, and ice cream, as well as the cute stationery they sell, is another plus. the nearest asian grocery store to my knowledge is hmart in niles, about a 20-30 min drive, so being able to get smaller items at sea ranch in a pinch can save me a trip to hmart. the one thing i will say is that the take out containers are a lot of plastic, though the ones for soup and noodles are reusable. really minor though since i guess with sushi, a paper container doesn't work as well because the rice sticks. all in all, i love this place, and if i could give them more than 5 stars i absolutely would!! read more

Sea Ranch - Spicy Tornado Roll, Salmon Roll, Plain Udon Set - Seafood Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

I got food poisoning from your Salmon Donburi last Friday. Today's Tuesday 3:30 AM and I am still dealing with the consequences.

Good food, reasonable prices. Service is quick And the store has unique items, if not a little quirky. read more

Business owner told me to check "my app" to see updated time. I did not use an app at all and the manner in which the message was conveyed was not too kind. The dining area was cramped just like the rest of the store/restaurant. Nothing in their store had a price tag and one door was blocked, forcing patrons to enter and exit out of one cramped area that is obviously very intentional. Luckily, less than a block away on Chicago Avenue, you can find a higher quality sushi selection without the bargain feel decor and condescending attitude. read more

Very fresh fish! Excellent sushi rolls and donburi! Complimentary hot tea. No fishy smell when you walk in. Service was prompt and tables turn over quickly even when the place is packed. Street parking wasn't bad. read more

We were in the area and were looking for something relatively quick for lunch so decided to stop by Sea Ranch. There are a few small tables inside but it may be difficult to find a table during lunch/dinner rush. Thankfully we were able to snag a table after waiting ~5-10 minutes. Our food came out shortly thereafter. I had the chirashizushi (fish pieces over rice: tuna, white fish, salmon, shrimp, eel, omelette, imitation crab and salmon roe) while hubby had the sushi superior (1 piece each: tuna, white fish, salmon, yellowtail, eel, surf clam, shrimp and smelt roe; 1/2 tuna roll and 1/2 cucumber roll). The fish was fresh and the rice was prepared well. However, I didn't read the fish that the chirashizushi came with and there were a few that I didn't care for (imitation crab and shrimp). It was still good nonetheless and was plenty of food for me. On the other hand, hubby was still left slightly hungry but polished off both of our miso soups. Overall, decent spot for quick and decently priced sushi. read more

They are so freaking nice here and have great sushi and great ramen/udon sets. The sushi tastes super fresh and is well made. The noodle dishes I've tried have been delicious and feel like something with a real homemade touch. They have great drink selection as well. Seating is casual and it's super laid back and welcoming. They have a nice small Japanese grocery section that is nice. Prices are really reasonable. One of my long time favs. They do great pick up orders now as well! read more

We ordered delivery through UberEats. The nigiri pieces were all over, which was probably due to being improperly handled by the delivery driver. The freshness of the nigiri and rolls were still very fresh and delicious. I especially liked the fatty tuna roll and yellowtail nigiri. I've been to the space once and found it to be clean and simple. You can buy groceries as well. read more

Best sushi - high quality and fresh! Pick up service is excellent w efficient ambiance. Go try, don't miss!

Why is the delivery and ordering system so jacked here? Got our window for delivery and the end time was over 30min ago. Call them. They tell me they're backed up. And it went out the door just now. Listen if it was just myself and my hubby, fine we can wait. But when you have hungry kids ... you know what, my fault. We've experienced this before with sea ranch and I should have known. We will not be ordering from here again. read more

Love this place. The vibes are great, I love the combined mini-convenience store + restaurant combo. The people working are always so nice and the sushi is the best in Evanston. read more

Updating my review and adding a star. The fish is super fresh and the prices are extremely fair. Place reminds me of a Japanese 7-11 type store complete with Japanese candy and snacks. Grab a pre made roll from the refrigerator or order custom rolls, chefs combos or large party platter. The food won't disappoint. There are about 5 tables in the place if you are interested in dining in. Super super casual. Highly recommend read more

Visited here on a whim Saturday Evening and did a take out order as there was no dining allowed during this time of Covid. I did do the order over the phone ahead of time which was great. By the time we got there there was a line of pick ups and people coming into order. Street parking here is always challenging however it is free on certain holidays Sundays and after a certain time in the evening. The place is small Homie and quaint but the food is very direct and no nonsense. The sushi is pretty simple no nonsense which I appreciate completely. I would consider this a go to for some basics and Staples but definitely not a place if you're looking for something fancy. The price point is fair as well and the portions are decent. I would definitely come back to fulfill a craving and get some good staples. read more

my favorite place ever since i was a kid! amazing sushi and great prices! you can buy premade stuff or order from the menu

Very affordable (a set of udon + California roll only sets you back about $11) spot great for students. They sell fresh fish as well! In terms of flavor, definitely nothing noteworthy / the price is right, but would still recommend as a casual dinner spot. Dined: October 2, 2022 read more

If you're looking for Japanese groceries or if you're looking for sushi, this is the place. The staff is always friendly and happy to help you find what you need. You can eat at one of the cute tables and enjoy their hot tea, or you can get it to go and enjoy your meal at home. To my vegetarian friends: they have veggie sushi! And it's not "here's a cucumber roll; take it or leave it", there's a whole delicious assortment including thoughtful vegetarian combos. read more

Amazing sushi for an incredible price! The place is counter service with a few small tables to dine in at, and there's also a bunch of Japanese convenience store snacks that are great!

What a delicious little sushi stop! I was desperately craving sushi and needed to find a spot in Evanston--Sea Ranch did not disappoint. The online ordering platform was easy to use and the pickup situation was a breeze. The staff is friendly and I am sure to be back (: A friend and I ordered the Godzilla Roll, Chicago Fire Roll, and Spicy White Dragon Roll. The Godzilla was my favorite! We also shared the miso soup and it was delicious. read more

A few metered street parking spots right outside. You could probably park on the residential street and walk over too. I took the train here and dropped in on a Saturday around 11:30PM. No one was dining in yet, so chances of grabbing a table around lunch if you're early seem pretty good. Sure, compared to Trader Joe's $4 sushi this place is pricey. But since their sushi is good and they don't have a lot of nearby competition, the prices seem reasonable. There were lots of ready made rolls available for easy grab and go. I got a pack with 6 pieces California roll, 6 pieces salmon, 6 pieces tuna. Thats 18 pieces of sushi for ~$12. Also, definitely a great spot for picking up your favorite Japanese snacks and desserts. read more

Great little sushi take-out joint in Evanston. Very fresh (and generous amounts of) fish, very reasonable prices, and very short wait times. They also have a little market and a menu that includes a variety of Japanese entrees, including ramen noodles. The ramen noodles are probably not the best in Chicagoland, but are acceptable, and provides a nice variety. Highly recommended (for the sushi). read more

Sea Ranch is my favorite spot in Evanston to get sushi. Everything is fresh, and the staff is friendly and laid back. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one of their hats and it has become 4-year-old son's favorite hat, so I'll have to get another one. Outstanding food in a very casual, and friendly environment. read more

Perfect destination for hot summer days and cold winter nights, Sea Ranch is where you go for high quality sushi that won't break the bank. When I come here, I always order the Sushi Superior(which comes with miso soup), Hokkaido Roll, and the Zaru Soba, which is a noodle dish served cold. This combo is light yet filling and has me leaving with a smile every time. And if you're in the mood for some dessert or additional snack, make sure to stop by the grocery store and grab some Japanese snacks for the road read more

Sea Ranch - Seafood Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Affordable and fresh sushi! Had heard of the location from others in Evanston and am glad to have stopped by!

This business is so cute. They sell some limited Japanese grocery items like rice, Pocky, frozen gyoza, etc. They also have some fresh fish at the front. There is also a menu here too. It's not too expensive, maybe $8-$11 for your meal. I tried the plain udon set and really liked it. Portion size was good, and they also give you some California rolls on the side. I liked that the CA rolls did not have cucumber (I hate raw cucumber!). The udon flavor was pretty much exactly what I wanted (maybe a hair too salty so don't drink all the broth). The noodles were cooked well. They also have free barley tea (caffeine free) on the side, which I also love. I definitely would want to come back again. read more

Sea Ranch is such an interesting shop! First I went and looked around at all the Asian/Japanese snacks and frozen food. I bought golden curry (amazing), but next time I go I'll bring a freezer bag and buy black sesame mochi and frozen gyoza. They had an excellent selection of snacks and drinks, many of which I had tried before. Prices seemed very reasonable for a sushi shop. My friend enjoyed her eel roll, and I enjoyed my meal (picture attached). I want to go back and try more things and buy more groceries. Finally, the miso soup was spectacular, bursting with flavor. Now I want to see how their udon soup is. read more
