    It's the closest ayce sushi to us and it gets the job done when we are craving sushi! I love that they offer sashimi options as some ayce do not. Price is reasonable and have lots of options. It's located in a plaza which makes parking easy. Staff are good here as well!

    I've been going to Sushi World for quite a few years now. It's a simple and delicious sushi restaurant. Their AYCE special is really worth the price. The kitchen is quick to churn out orders and the sushi has always been fresh and delicious. Recommend going with a couple of friends to help you finish off the sushi boats!

    Everything was good some of the sushi were chewy and over sauced. But overall it was still delicious

    Sushi World located in McCormick across the street from Home Depot. Sushi World is an AYCE Sushi for $23.95 @ lunchtime. The presentation is nice, the quality of the sushi is pretty good but the sashimi pieces are very thin. Like the old Wendy's commercial show me the meat or in this case show me the fish lol. I started w/some miso soup, 4 pieces of fried scallops, 2 pieces of crab Rangoon & seaweed salad. In addition I had 2 pieces of sake (salmon), 3 pieces of white maguro (tuna) & 3 pieces of hamachi (yellowtail (my favorite). After this I ordered 4 more fried scallops, 2 sake, 2 hamachi & another seaweed salad. Yan was my server she provided excellent service always there asking me if I needed something. I went to a different AYCE Sushi restaurant a few days ago where the server was non existent. Thank you Yan for providing excellent service for. The quality of sushi was good but the portion sizes were very thin, excellent service. Would I go back again? Yes Lately I've been on a sushi kick. This restaurant earned me my 26th badge as a SUSHI SENSEI & the first one in a very long time.

    Ok I really do miss sushi buffets! I can kill a few rolls for sure. Well this is really cool. For less than $32 bucks with tax and tip it's an awesome deal. My girlfriend is a regular here and she loves it!! Definitely worth the 30 min trip for me to come out and meet her for lunch. I had quite a few appetizers. Vegetable tempura, seaweed salad, fried scallops, vegetable jar umami, and sesame balls!!! I could have stopped there but I ended up with 3 rolls!! And several pieces of sushi. Mind you. I was really hungry at the moment. Spider roll, Tokyo roll, salmon roll, and k would have gotten more but I resisted !! Next time I want to pay extra and get the dinner menu which is like only $5 more. So worth it!!! Service is spectacular. Very nice setting. Clean and crisp. Quick service. Plenty of parking. I'll be back for sure.

    Sushi world is pretty decent. Their service is good and employees are attentive! The prices have gone up since they first opened, but are pretty good for the sushi options they have per menu. I wish they added different rolls to their menu though, so there's a bit of change. Of this trip's lunch ayce, I thought the sushi was okay. The rolls were pretty big and have a good amount of filling, but there was also a little too much rice. I enjoyed the salmon avocado roll the most because of the buttery texture of the avocado and salmon together. My least favorite was the spicy tuna. There really wasn't much spicy mayo and heat, and the tuna was a bit too mushy for me. I would've preferred it to be less finely ground. Overall, my brother and I ate our money's worth. Next time, I think I would pay the extra $5 for the dinner ayce menu so I can choose more signature rolls :)

    Welcome to Sushi World Who doesn't love a place to eat all the sushi they can eat!? That's why we love ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI! Sushi world is yummy and they have a big menu to choose from, we are very close to trying every single roll that's on their menu!:) The service is constantly checking up on us and making sure everything is okay and the ambiance is really nice inside!

    I ordered 4 rolls (Mango Tango, Crunchy 2 in 1, Dragon Roll, and King Kong Roll) from their To Go Special as I was craving for some fresh Sushi. The service was quick and the ordering process online is very simple. I went to the restaurant to pick up the order and the ambiance of the place was good! Very satisfied with my order and I would order there again!

    I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now. And finally i'm here. Of course we did the all you can eat. Lol Price is 28.99 per person and 18% tip is included if you are a group of 5. All you can eat includes Appetizers, Regular Rolls, Signature Rolls, Sashimi and Dessert Now the appetizers. I like the Shumai, scallops, and the Kani salad. I didnt like the seaweed salad it was kinda fishy for me. Miso soup was a bit bland. The California Roll is average for me. The shrimp lover and the crunchy crab meat was good tho. The signature rolls for me was good. But i honestly had better places.

    The maki tastes fresh. The food was ready when I arrived. The space appeared clean, but I didn't dine in. I've come here before but didn't write a review. This has been my go to spot for sushi. It's convenient and the prices are reasonable.

    $29 AYCE sushi place in Chicago! The service is fast. The food come out in 5mins (10mins for fried appetisers). The sashimi cuts are super thick!! The rice and sashimi ratio for the nigiri is perfect. Can tell the chef is very experienced because the shape/curve of the nigiri is perfect! The rice is dense enough that won't fall out of your chopsticks. The sashimi quality wasn't amazing but very worth the price! Would come back/recommend to friends.

    Came here twice within a month of trying this place, and I love it. I come here for AYCE sushi, and their rolls are so large, fresh, and filling. Sometimes AYCE places give you lower quality sushi or the rolls are super small, but this place is so worth $23.99. They also have all of their appetizers included in the AYCE price, as well as all of the signature rolls. I also appreciate that they give you a menu so you can look at what each specialty roll has inside so not only can you see a picture of it, but you can see if anything is inside that you may not like. My favorite rolls include the "Crunchy 2 in 1" (salmon tempura, avocado topped w/ spicy crab meat & tempura crunch), "Crazy Salmon Roll" (spicy salmon & crunch topped w. fresh salmon & spicy mayo), and the "Angel Wings" (shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber topped w. crab meat eel sauce spicy mayo). As you can tell, I LOVE salmon and crab meat! Their rolls do have a good balance of meat and rice, unlike a lot of places that have way too much rice. I also love their edamame, even though it is extremely salty, their gyoza, and the crab rangoons. So delicious!! For such good quality sushi, the food comes out pretty quickly, and the staff is nice and always comes around to check on you. My second visit here was a little worse in customer service because she didn't check in as much and didn't really say anything to us, but they always come around to fill water cups. Looking from the outside, this place almost looks like a bar or a lounge. There are neon lights and signs that make me feel that they would have slot machines or something inside, so I was a little apprehensive to try it at first. However, my friends brought me here because they ate here before, and the inside doesn't give me a bar/sloppy vibe at all. It's pretty nice inside and it is very clean. Overall, I love this place and I will be back soon!

    I am almost positive that you could bring in your own birthday cake, considering the only dessert they offer is ice cream. I would call ahead and ask - especially if it needs to be refrigerated during your meal.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Miru…read more We were visiting Chicago for a short trip, and with so many excellent dining options, choosing where to eat wasn't easy. 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. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

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.

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. I left genuinely impressed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a serious sushi experience in Chicago!!!
