    Left to right: Snack-o, eel, tuna avocado, spicy salmon
    Emily G.

    Reservations are a must! We visited this restaurant on a busy Friday night. My partner and I split the chicken/veggie gyoza, wagyu tartare crispy rice, and 4 maki rolls (spicy salmon, bluefin tuna avocado, snack-o, kabayaki eel). My favorites were the eel and snack-o. This was plenty to share, and easy enough to order more if needed. Service was great.

    Sushi rolls

    RESERVATION RECOMMENDED! This place was very popular so if you don't like to wait, call advance for reservation . It is very crowded even on the weekdays. The sushi is very fresh and the rolls are tasty too. Our waiter was very attentive. He is aware of my squid/octopus sensitivity therefore he made sure he inform the chef in regard to allergies. Every entree we had ordered had a an allergy tacks on it which I thought was hilarious but highly appreciated. I am thankful they pay close attention to my needs and accommodation. My only friendly suggestion is that that they bring out the edamame beans and cucumber salad first before anything comes out since that goes well with every entree. The two items were serve last and by the time our belly was content and full, we have no urge to eat it. It was packed to go for a midnight snack.

    Express sushi and sashimi

    I came here on a weekday for lunch and highly recommend it. It was not too crowded and food came out pretty quickly after ordering. I like the modern vibes of this location. Seating was comfortable. I tried their express lunch menu, which is a great option if you're here during lunch time. You get to pick 3 items from the list and I chose tako taco (a little spicy but highly recommend- one of my favorite things that day), salmon avocado (I'm not a personal fan of the Meyer lemon sauce), and tuna avocado rice bowl. Each item is smaller portioned but all together it's a substantial lunch set. I also tried the express sushi and sashimi lunch set, which comes with a delicious seaweed salad which I would order on its own as an appetizer. The lunch set comes with their "oh-my-kaze." This includes salmon, hamachi and tuna. One piece of tuna was substandard and had a big piece of sinew in it. Our server quickly switched it for another piece. The only dish I would skip is the Peking duck sizzling rice. The taste was fine- a little on the sweeter side with the hoisin sauce but the portion was more of an appetizer size. It's also not a true Peking duck, which focuses on a crispy duck skin and this dish just featured duck meat.

    I once came here on a weekend and it was extremely packed that I didn't get to try it. I've heard a lot of good things about this restaurant so I decided to go on a Monday afternoon and was easily seated, despite there being so many people already. It seems like a popular space to go to have drinks with your coworkers. I opted for the Express sushi and sashimi for $26 which I think was an amazing price for the two appetizers they give and the insane amount of fish they provide. While very generous, the taste of the fish and the Nigiri did not wow me enough. The fish was fresh, but there wasn't much added to emphasize the flavor of the fish. I would love to come back to try other things on their menus, such as the hand rolls and regular sushi rolls, but I don't think I'll come back for this set.

    Japanese Eggplant Tempura we had 4 orders!

    Wow!!! HH 7 days a week is a nice flex! Met with my new friend here Sunday and we had an amazing time! We ordered all the food off the HH menu (edamame, eggplant tempura, avocado rolls, salmon rolls and shishito peppers). I had a few old fashioneds and she had the lychee martinis. Our server was incredible, spot on and very kind and helpful. The restaurant is a nice size and the have a bar too and it is cool for families as well. We enjoyed our time!

    Nama Chocolates. Delicious!

    A year later and Sushi-San doesn't disappoint. The food is still yummy and the service is excellent! Visit during happy hour for great deals on drinks and snacks. Our booth felt private and would make a great date spot. Or in our case, an anniversary dinner.

    Spicy tuna crispy rice
    Tray

    Came here for the sushi but ended up loving the sizzling rice, Oscar steak, dessert, and cocktails way more. The sushi rolls and hand rolls were honestly a bit mid. The truffle & shiitake roll didn't taste like truffle at all, mostly mushrooms and greens. 4/10. The kabayaki eel roll was fine but nothing standout. 6/10. The hand rolls were also pretty small. I liked the tuna more than the salmon but neither felt super fresh or memorable. Tuna 6.5/10, salmon 5/10. The spicy tuna crispy rice was okay. I expected the rice to be crispier, but the tuna flavor itself was good. 4/10. The beef & bop sizzling rice was really good. Loved the teriyaki flavor. 7.5/10. The Oscar steak was the highlight of the meal. It tasted like super tender short ribs that fall apart, topped with king crab and a unique sauce that tied everything together perfectly. 9/10. The cocktails were great though. Third Eye Vision was strong and delicious. 8.5/10. Boots With the Fur tasted like bees knees which I loved, just not as strong. 8/10. Prices were also pretty reasonable for cocktails. The mochi brownie was amazing. Mochi on the bottom, hot brownie above it, and ice cream on top. One of the best desserts I've had in a while. 9.5/10. The spot itself is casual with dim lighting and loud music that helps cover up all the table noise, which made the vibes really fun. 8.5/10. Service was fine.

    We were in Chicago for a conference and we're looking for sushi. This restaurant had great reviews so we popped in the waiter was fabulous and recommended everything that we ordered. Service was great roles came out perfect and the ambience was bustling, but not overly loud.

    Otoro
    Alyson W.

    So delicious!! The quality of the fish was just superb, like butter melting in the mouth. Highly recommend the otoro. The otoro otoro was so fatty and rich- probably the fattiest I've ever had, almost too much for me, which I've never said before ever. Will definitely order from here again.

    Boots with the fur cocktail! Perfect!
    Shawn W.

    Stopped by on a Saturday night for a birthday bite. Grabbed a seat at the bar which I regretted because the seats are fixed to the bar and was a bit tight for me. I'm a big guy so not complaining too much! I'll just choose different next time. On to the food...delicious! Fresh! And quick. I started with an old fashioned and an order of the bbq beef lettuce wraps. The beef was so flavorful and tender. All the garnishments they give with the dish go perfectly with it. The old fashioned was top tier also! After I devoured that appetizer I ordered the avocado roll which was delicious. The avocado was perfectly picked and tender. Then I ordered the crunchy spicy tuna roll which stole the show! This is a must have when you come by! Nice ambiance! A bit noisy on the weekends as expected.

    Amazing!
    Jodi V.

    Food was amazing, services was amazing, the place is packed! Get a reservation and don't fight for bar seats!

    Had the nicest server ever. The food is delicious and the drinks as well! Dessert was amazing and we left feeling satisfied and so full.

    Been here a couple times and it's such a solid restaurant. If you're craving sushi or pot rice, you can get both here and they are lovely. The BBQ beef lettuce wraps are very good. The sushi is good, but not amazing. Also, I really did like their chocolate. Only truly unfortunate dish I've had is their cucumbers.

    Worlds tiniest roll with almost no fish. Super expensive too

I almost decided to save Miru for our next visit, but I'm glad I made time for breakfast here on our departure day. Located inside the St. Regis Chicago, the restaurant offers beautiful views. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional. I ordered the Tokyo Breakfast. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with rice, a soft-poached egg, and salmon roe. The miso soup was slightly salty on its own, but it worked surprisingly well when enjoyed with the rice toward the end of the meal. Overall, a memorable breakfast experience. I'd love to return and try the lunch or dinner menu on my next trip to Chicago.

The sushi is phenomenal, as were our drinks... but the other entrees are disappointing. The karaage and duck yakisoba in particular in quality could be from any corner restaurant in Chicago. The service lends itself more casual, and I noticed they were consistently quite slow to clear our table. I don't think people come here for the food as much as the views. Overlooking Streeterville from this angle and vantage was truly jaw dropping and for this reason I still strongly recommend Miru.

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. 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.
