    The Ceiling
    Michelle M.

    Umm... yes. AYCE sushi, appetizers AND crab legs. Omgoodness. So much yes. The interior... so well done. So pretty. So aesthetically pleasing. The service... really super sweet. The food... AhMazing. Sushi was fresh. Appetizers delicious. And the crab legs. So yum yum yum. They come hot to the table. Just salty yumminess. I love this place and cannot wait to go back. The bathrooms are decent and city street parking. IF you oark on Lawrence it's parking you pay for.

    Food was great, service was wack This place truly has some potential but the slowness of their service brings it quite down. Their were tables available but we still have to wait to get seated till a table left I guess to space it out but even when ordering food it took awhile As a previous waitress, we usually get a section to tend to but in this case our waitress was just running all over the places. First round of crab legs were delish. Second was so salty. Third was not too bad Sushi taste & quality was good. We saw a party of 4 kids left because the wait was so long waiting for their food to come.

    I really wanted to love this place but left feeling like there are way better all you can eat sushi spots in the city. I can't put my finger on it but I just didn't feel like the fish was fresh. Nothing off about taste or texture. It was just dull and my salmon hand roll was limp and sad. They have a full bar with a great selection of martinis. I would come back just for the drinks. They were $8-10- never heard of in Chicago! They are also byob and charge $10 for each bottle. We did both martinis and wine- so you can imagine the night I had lol. The service was just ok. Took a few minutes to even be acknowledged and seated even though there were plenty of employees, and even if they were busy, not one said hello or addressed me. I dock major points when it comes to service. The food can be meh but when the service is, it's a huge turn off. The place is big and can accommodate large parties. I'd suggest hiring a host to welcome guests as they arrive.

    Everything I got is included in the $31.99 dinner meal. We had a party of 5 and after mandatory tip and tax it came out to around $42 per person. Ordered more than this but forgot to take pictures. The food is really good but theres a lot of fried stuff for appetizers. I wish they also had more non fried options, but overall great experience. Servers were really food about giving us the paper to order more after our batches of food finished coming out. It's a really cute place too, they have a bar area. They also had a fun challenge you can do to try to win a free meal or discount.

    If you love crab and sashimi this the idea AYCE sushi restaurant for you as they offer it at the cost of a premium price for their premium seafood. My wife and I went for the lunch on a Wednesday and I was surprised with the amount of options that they had on the menu. Items ranging from the appetizers, sushi, and even ramen. We kept it simple and had the standard AYCE that doesn't include sashimi (only sliced sushi, no rice) or the crab legs. From ordering to waiting for the sushi took a bit of time so I'd recommend either ordering a fair amount in the beginning so you can get your fill or order as soon as your order arrives to optimize on the time. Paid street parking in front, patio along the side so possibly dog friendly during the warmer seasons (not confirmed),

    Really wished I liked this sushi spot. Our waitress was extremely sweet and thoughtful, we absolutely loved her. Our waitress was kind enough to let us know our sushi would take approximately 30 minutes because the kitchen was busy and made sure we order some appetizers. The interior design is really cute, they did a great job. We were disappointed with the sushi out of all things. We ordered multiple signature rolls containing spicy tuna. The spicy tuna was lacking the spice component. The rolls were cut thickly which was difficult to eat and enjoy. If you order a roll that contains cream cheese, watch out; they put a lot which makes you feel heavy after eating.

    I used to think all AYCE sushi places are the same. Sushi Loop provides that is not the case! Highly recommend upgrading to the sashimi as they provide generous portions of fish. Personally, I love rolls and they have an impressive array of options. The only thing I would skip is the Ramen. That was the only underwhelming thing, but we came for sushi, not Ramen. Service was super attentive and able to explain the concept of menu well. Seating inside has family friendly options for large groups and folks with little ones.

    Came in on a Monday around noon expecting lunch prices but the server mentioned that it was going to be dinner pricing the whole day. I'm not sure if this was because it was considered a bank holiday. There are normally 3 different dinner pricing tiers. The normal dinner pricing includes appetizers, ramen, nigiri, hand-rolls. The premium tier includes sashimi and the 2nd premium included snow crab. The restaurant is spacious and currently decorated with fun and spooky Halloween decorations. There were two large nest seating areas for larger groups. We ordered some edamame, chicken yakitori and tempura veggies to start me. I shared a spicy miso ramen with my friend. The broth was flavorful and a little spicy. We also ordered the fire dragon roll, sunny roll and golden dragon roll along with some egg, scallop and new york strip nigiri. Unfortunately there was extended wait times between courses and we felt like we had to wait to flag down the server. We were also surprised to find that hot green tea was not included in the ayce price and it was just hot water plus a Bigelow green tea bag that we would have to steep. The desserts were fine. We tried macarons, strawberry and matcha ice cream mochi, tempura oreo and creme brulee. Unfortunately they did not have any hamachi kama.

    Mochi!

    We came here for their AYCE lunch on a Monday ($23.99) which I thought was a great value. Most of popular items were available execpt sashi which cost extra. They also have snow crab legs for extra $ as well. We ordered a bunch. The highlights included chicken skewers and dragon rolls. The fish mostly tasted fresh. Interior were new and modern. Would come back on weekdays if time permits.

    Tried this place for lunch on opening weekend. We had the all you can eat special. It's a great deal and it covers not just the sushi but also appetizers, ramen, salads, and dessert. The interior is well done and colorful. The staff are friendly and service was good. We tried several of the sushi rolls and they were all delicious. Mango Tango is a must. We also tried a few appetizers and they were great. Will be back for certain

    Service was good, price is fair. Has lots of options on their menu which is why I did rated it high but the rice on the sushi is too cold which makes me think it's not as fresh. I think it's because we came right when they open so I'm hoping it isn't always the case. Overall I don't mind coming here again but it won't be my go to. Street parking and it's quite big inside

I got the salmon bowl, the salmon avocado maki, and tuna crispy rice. The salmon bowl was definitely my favorite. The salmon was cooked very nicely so that it wasn't dry, and I loved the miso glaze that they put on top. It added a very nice sweetness to the salmon and created a very nice char. It was pretty small portion size though. The salmon avocado maki was solid too. It was the most filling! You get 5 pieces :) The tuna crispy rice was just alright. The rice part was good, but there was a bit too much mayo in the tuna. The miso soup that came complimentary with it was good too! I like how generous they were with the seaweed. Such a nice vibe inside! It's definitely a nicer spot, but still casual enough for lunch. I wanna come back for dinner! Service was quick and server was kind.

It clearly is for all their locations. Unfortunately, here at Chinatown's location, when they attempted to scan the card, the staff said it does not work and only works at the Printer's Row location. I ended up calling the Printer's Row location and had the team talk to the manager at the Chinatown location, and the manager at the Chinatown location kept their stance that it does not work, stating Printer's Row location does not know why the gift card does not work at the Chinatown location, and will not make any exceptions to accepting the gift card. Thankfully at the Printer's Row location, they are stating it's due to their system being new as they are a new location, and reason why the gift card is not working at all the locations yet which they are now working on to fix so it does not happen to any other customer moving forward. I just wish the Chinatown location showed some compassion to address the issue and still accommodate the inconvenience instead of us having to go back to the Printer's Row location to use the gift card Price: Approximately $20, not including tip for 2 people. There are lunch specials! Ambience: Indoor Seating Overall: Worst experience, especially to follow up my birthday celebration

It was the views that attracted us to this venue. It turned out to be a perfect evening with beautiful weather for dining al fresco. Since it was a Monday evening, the large modern dining room was not too busy. As expected, the outdoor terrace was bustling. The terrace is basically divided into 3 sections. We were seated in the first section closest to Navy Pier and Lake Michigan, and this area filled up fast shortly after 6:00 pm. Service was friendly and professional throughout the evening. Our server Justin was very knowledgeable of the menu. Both the hostess and Justin wished our daughter a happy birthday several times. A birthday dessert with a lit candle on the side was presented to her at the end of the dinner, making it a special meal to her. Our daughter ordered a cocktail called Happy Days ($23) that came in a Japanese cat shaped jar/glass. My husband had a glass of Chablis ($21), and I had a mocktail Setting Sun ($14), which has fresh yuzu, Valencia orange, lychee, Soda. However, I could only taste the soda, I wished I could taste the lychee. For dinner, we ordered the following to share: Kani Kani Crispy Rice ($34) -- Justin recommended this dish. I really enjoyed the crispy rice and the minced crab meat topping, which was flavorful and not too spicy. However, my husband did not feel that was a crab flavor. Tempura Rock Shrimp ($19) -- a nice quantity for sharing, shrimp was fresh, but nothing too special. Crispy Spring Rolls ($28) -- 6 very small spring rolls were filled with Maine lobster, pork, with Thai orange sauce. They were delicious but we couldn't really distinguish the lobster or pork in the minced filling. (For the nigiri and sashimi, each order came with 2 pieces. Everything we tried was fresh.) Unagi +1 piece ($14 + $7) -- BBQ Fresh Water Eel Seared Salmon Belly Nigiri +1 piece ($23 + $11.50) Kinmedai ($18) -- Golden Snapper Chutoro ($21) -- Medium Fatty Tuna A5 Wagyu Nigiri ($49) - This was a surprise disappointment. All 4 pieces of Wagyu were tough and had gristle in them, so chewy that we had to spit them out. It's definitely not the melt-in-your-mouth A5 Wagyu experience that I was looking for. Duck Yakisoba ($28) - This dish was mixed on our table by a server, that added more fun to a dish that had egg noodles, duck confit, and ginger. It was flavorful with a good amount of duck. Black Cod ($44) - It was nicely seared and prepared. However, my first bite had a very slight fishy smell in it. Otherwise, it was a good dish. Black Sesame Mochi ($18) -- Charcoal-Vanilla ice cream, black sesame praline, and mochi sponge. Surprisingly, this was the highlight of the night! The flavors and all the different textures worked very well together. I could easily eat a couple of these myself! I am still craving for the aromatic crispy black sesame praline and creamy charcoal-vanilla ice cream a week later! With a 3.5% restaurant surcharge, our total bill came to $431.80 before tip. Valet parking was originally $50, but with restaurant validation, it was brought down to $35. All in all, we had a wonderful birthday dinner for our daughter. The stunning views and ambiance with excellent service made it a memorable evening, while the food was very good overall, there were a couple of disappointments. For us, Miru is a 4-star experience overall, with 5-star ambiance and service.

The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.

The restaurant houses both an omakase counter and an izakaya, but in completely separate spaces. The omakase side is an intimate, beautifully designed counter with around 10 seats. We were the only guests that evening, so the whole experience felt wonderfully private -- just us, Chef Shoji, and the fish. Chef Shoji opens the meal by presenting the actual fish you'll be eating, all flown in twice a week from Japan or Spain. It immediately signals what kind of meal you're in for. The 20 courses were well-paced and the quality was consistent throughout. Nigiri and sashimi were pristine, but the hot dishes were equally impressive, which surprised me. Both sides of the menu showed real craft and attention to detail. Service was fantastic -- warm, attentive, and never stuffy. At $210 per person, it's a special occasion meal, but one that genuinely delivers on the price. As someone who eats a lot of omakase back home in LA, I wasn't sure what to expect.

    So pleasantly surprised! Came in on a Friday night for a 6:30 reso and the place was empty BUT it…read morewas packed, seemingly by regulars, by the time we left. Service was a little slow at time but they got slammed very quickly and and we weren't in a rush. What we got: - chuturo nigiri - so buttery - hamachi nigiri - good flavor and cut - chili hotate - love the flavor - negi toro maki - good flavor - unakyu- fine a little on the sweeter side - Amai - not my favorite and I think the tuna had a strong fishy flavor Overall, good meal and pretty reasonable bill. Will definitely be coming back to check out the rest of the menu!

    Such a wonderful spot! Fantastic happy hour. Everything was made fresh and tasted delicious…read more Service was super friendly, and they even brought out a free birthday mochi for my friend. We got the karage, three of the skewers , and the spicy salmon and tuna rolls. This place, along with the entrance is a bit hidden, so would love to see them market themselves more as I think it's a spot people would really love, especially for more affordable sushi in the River North area. Quiet and cozy ambiance for casual outings but also cute enough to be a date spot. Got seated immediately. Service was a bit slow, but that's only because they seemed to have one host/server working at the time, who was working super hard and kept a super pleasant and attentive vibe. I will definitely be back!
