Let me start by saying, I am no Sushi Connoseur however...I am a serious food lover! Not just any ol' food, good food...great food, orgasmic food. Ok, now thats out of the way...Sushi X has excellent quality Sushi. Did I mention that it is BYOB? Well in case you didnt know, now you do! I checked out Sushi X with a couple of my lush friends and we shut that mother DOWN! I am surprised we are still allowed in there! I had the Godzilla (so Americanized, I know) but it was so tasty. I also had wasabi mashed potatos, they were good but i have had better. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good quality sushi. Enjoy! read more

The sushi here is really fresh and delicious! Can't remember exactly which ones I had but I really enjoyed the one with mango but everything was really good! The beef asparagus appetizer was quite tasty as well. The place is really small so carry out or delivery is probably ideal. Although I am just a couple blocks out of their delivery area...I have tried to negotiate with them on the phone saying that I will order lots of sushi and give a really good tip if they would just deliver to me! But oh well, what can you do? :P read more

I'm no sushi expert, but I've tried a lot of sushi in my lifetime. First off people, stop complaining about them not having wine glasses. You're going for the sushi and plus it's freaking BYOB! No corkage fee. From the outside, it looks pretty ghetto, and I will admit that on the inside, it's not very big BUT they are known to be more of a delivery/to-go restaurant. (**Couple yrs ago, they were awarded 1st place for best take out sushi restaurant**) Sushi X keeps it real with quality fish and they don't skimp on the meat (unlike ahem...COAST :T), everything is super fresh. I highly recommend spicy tuna (my fav), godzilla roll, honey, and rainbow roll. The Service is always on point and they hook it up with an industry discount every time I'm in there. They also opened up a new location with a bar in lincoln park. I still have yet to check that spot out. Now...with that being said... go get ur grub on! ;) read more

Guess when you haven't been to a place for four years, it can change. You know when something's under the radar and then gets noticed and suddenly your meal is way more expensive? Yeah. Service is still thoughtful. Rolls are still inventive and fun. But I think I'll stick to Butterfly for my go-to BYOB neighborhood sushi joint. read more

I had a small birthday party at this joint five years ago, and just recently got to stop by for lunch. This little place still cranks out hits and does so with a casual flair that I love. Chef Daniel has been there for 10 years, and he was super attentive to our lunch group. He gave special Korean side dishes to our vegan friends. Lunch boxes came with a yummy salad and miso soup. The Thai stick roll was the most innovative roll/taste experience I've had in a maki roll for a long time. Big points for that since we are now living in such a blah maki roll world where everything is covered in siracha mayo and tempura bits. Nice job! BYOB. read more

Sushi X is awesome. I went there with my girlfriend Saturday night. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised. It's BYOB. The on-street parking is a little tricky, but metered parking isn't too hard to find - just don't get hit by some crazy rice-rocket like we almost did. The atmosphere was nice, it struck me as a very New York vibe: nondescript entryway, dark blue walls, warehouse space, screen playing video clips. I like this neighborhood for this very reason: it's very urban but not ultra-trendy (yet at least). But I digress. First, the Miso Soup is delicious and cheap ($2 - but they ended up not us at all for them!). For the main course, We ordered the Spicy Tuna, the Unagi, and the Godzilla rolls. They were all good, but the Godzilla was simply incredible. The presentation (for what its worth) was excellent, on par with Indie Cafe. The spicy mayo/soy-type sauce that was poured artfully over the whole tray was so good! For dessert, we had the mochi ice cream. They were all decent and the waiter gave us extra free of charge. I must comment on the service: outstanding. We were well attended to in every way and even though we were first-timers, they made us feel like regulars. Plus not charging for the soup was, to me, a great way to get repeat customers - by making us feel like the waiter was taking care of us. There was this ridiculous drunk rich lady and her husband next to us who kept pointing at our food and loudly saying she wanted it. She also dropped her menu near us and kept saying really odd things about the restaurant. In conclusion, if you like sushi, especially if you're a rich drunk bottle-blonde, you'll love Sushi X. read more

As much as I love the atmosphere and staff of this place, the sushi never quite measures up. The rolls are often more tempura than fish, more decoration than delight. The Philly Roll is mostly cream cheese, the Godzilla mostly fried flakes and sauce. The draw is the BYOB, staff, and wall projected anime -- a great trifecta for any fun date. (That is, so long as she's not expecting to be wowed by the fish.) read more

Sushi X - Mr. W welcomes Mrs. X - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The sushi rolls were some of the worst I've ever had. We had the honey roll- average at best. The rainbow roll was so bad, awful. There were two others that we ordered that were also both average at best. They had a good salad to start w. There was tuna and avocado. That was actually really good. The rest was I'd say pretty bad. We decided to try this place because we wanted to venture out of our normal spots. Bad mistake. Won't return. read more

Soooooo close to that fifth star! If only the service was not this bad. We didn't know if happy hour still existed on Tuesdays because we couldn't find it anywhere and they were still not answering their phones at 5pm, so we just risked it and went. Lucky for us, as of December 1, they stopped doing happy hour on Sunday and just do it on Monday on Tuesday. Went in at 6pm and got seated right away (2 people) but there was definitely open seating all around. We brought our own bottle (this is BYOB) and they gave us the glasses and opener and we self-served. When we got the menu we ordered Miso soup and it came right away. When she brought it we order our rolls and an order of edemame. I got the chicken and the buddah rolls (both absolutely delicious) and she had the omega, spicy tuna and Alaska rolls (she loved them and brought a bunch home), but the edemame never came. Everything tasted amazing and I cannot wait to go back, but again the service was terrible for no reason because it was not even busy. All of this was $35, by the way. As a side note, the feel of the room was really weird. Everyone was in close quarters because the whole restaurant is about 300 square feet, it was dark, there was weird music and anime playing off a projector to a wall screen measuring about 12'x8'. read more

Hands down my fave Sushi spot in Chicago (and Evanston). I do cheat and try other places...but as I'm eating my mediocre sushi elsewhere, I feel guilty and stupid for cheating on Sushi X...i'm a bad girlfriend. But no more...my loyalty is here. Here's why: *Sushi is always fresh and the rolls are creative and HUGE *I could go on and on about the Godzilla, the Mango, the Honey, the spicy tuna...oh lord...so good. *BYOB!!! *The non-sushi items on the menu are super yum...I take my kids here and they love the rice bowls. And these are no "kiddie bowls" -they are filled with culinary delights like short rib, shrimp, an over easy egg and other goodness. *They project anime films on the back wall and the it seems very "Lost in Translation," yet they don't give off a snooty, too cool for you vibe. The owner is often here and is very friendly - always recommending great rolls to try. *In West Town and always easy to park! *I could eat here every night. Seriously. read more

Let me first start this review by saying that I have only had takeout from Sushi X and never eaten there, nor do I plan to. The place is small, dark and does not seem to have the best ambiance. For takeout (which I think is where they get the majority of their business), Sushi X rocks! Inventive, delicious rolls and good hot dishes. I'm a fan. Sushi in general is expensive, but for the price, Sushi X's rolls are larger and more delicious than any other sushi place I have tried. I know that some people won't consider their Godzilla roll a "real" sushi roll because it's got cream cheese and tempura shrimp, but it is so amazingly delicious! Also try their honey roll, hibachi scallop and R.O.K. bowl. Yum. read more

BYOB! No corkage fee. Cool art work...sushi is not bad. Try the roll of the month for half off. The owner is super polite and pleasant. The anime movie playing on the wall is an interesting addition. 50$ for 2 giant rolls, 1 rice on the outside and 2 sashimi ...not too crazy busy on a Saturday evening read more

See all

I'll preface this by saying that I've only ever ordered delivery from Sushi X...but I've never been disappointed in the quality. The specialty rolls are wonderful, and the fish is perfectly fresh and delicious. The only drawback is that it's relatively expensive...but I truly believe that with sushi, you get what you pay for, so I'm willing to spend a little extra. read more

The ambiance is kind of weird here. It's got that 1990s, lots of black and and brushed stainless, super dark and cheesy dance music playing thing. Although the service is always friendly and FAST, and the small space makes it seem cozy instead of stark, so I don't really mind it. It just makes me wonder if there are teams of musicians holed up in studios just pumping out these"oontz! oontz! oontz!" beats purely for uses in "hey we're EDGY!" restaurants and clothing stores? Like Muzak guys, only with, like, outdated nipple rings. At any rate, This is some of my favorite sushi in the city. Get the double decker roll--it's like four ENTIRE FISHES in one roll. Ours had hunks coming out as big as a baby's arms! The Lava roll is interesting because with the cooked fish and the melty cream cheese and spiciness, it tastes like a taco. read more

Don't ever take a first date to Sushi X since the rolls are MEGA and true three-biters. Bring her on the 3rd date and she will love you for life. This places RULES! I'm not dining at "the X" for the everyday sushi staples; I'm going there for the Red Dragon roll with tempura shrimp, mayo, roe, sriracha, jalapeno, topped with spicy tuna and scallions, the White Tiger with tuna, hamachi, salmon, asparagus, avocado, cilantro, cucumber, jalapeno, scallions, tempura flakes, roe, lime-juice, with wasabi mayo and sriracha, the all-veggie Buddha roll, and others. You know a veggie roll must be darn good if it's being ordered by a bunch of carnivores. An ever-changing menu keeps things current and interesting. BYOB is always a nice touch too. Generous portions encourage group dining and friendly staff simply make this place work! -Chowhound Chick http://chowhoundchick.blogspot.com/ read more

phenomenal service and good selection... the ingredients are fresh but the preparation is lacking. we did come an hour before closing but all the rolls looked messy and fell apart as we lifted pieces to our mouths... loved the buddha roll (and it was on special). the host and servers were laid back and fun. would return if in the area and because the vegetarian selection is great but not one of my top choices. read more

This place was spectacular! Just hosted a bachelorette party, and not being from Chicago, had to go off of yelp reviews... As we pulled up, I have to say it wasn't in the cute chicago-esque neighborhoods that I expected, but once we got inside the team @ Sushi X completely wowed us! I had pre-ordered for 16 people, and we tried a bit over everything! The roll with bacon is my favorite! Although the spring-roll type rollups were delightful. Love the gyoza, and the tempura mushroom and green beans. So good! With it being BYOB, we had such a bang for our buck, and all of the people in my party were mucho impressed! I know Chicago has tons of BYOB sushi joints, but this one is definitely a winner! * Also, we brought in a cake for the table, and they were super cool with that! Thanks! read more

My fiancé and I came here early in the evening on a Saturday night looking for a low key, chill place with good sushi and that's exactly what we found. The restaurant is small and intimate, but as long as space allows, they'll let you pick your seat. You'll notice really cool artwork on the walls and your fellow dining companions enjoying their BYOB beer and wine right off the bat--I like it already. We started off with some edamame and the creamy ginger salad. The salad comes already VERY heavily dressed with a thick dressing so if that isn't your thing, order it on the side. I was starving and thought it was great. Here's the thing that earned 5 stars from us: REAL fresh crab in the maki rolls instead of that fake stuff. My fiancé (bless his heart) is allergic to fish so any restaurant who tries to pass off their imitation crab as the real thing could potentially kill him! As you can imagine, dining out for sushi is always interesting for us. He ordered the spicy scallop roll and another one that included the crap--I couldn't remember because I was too busy frantically trying to pick from all the delicious looking choices--but he happily devoured every last bite so I know they were good. I decided on the silver haze bowl from their amusingly drug-themed menu... It had assorted sashimi and veggies on top of rice in huge portions, served with a mixing sauce that I would've just drank if we weren't in public. SOOOO happy this place is just a couple blocks from our new apartment because we're about to become regulars! I already picked out what I'm ordering for next time. read more

Sushi X - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you blink, you would drive past this place. Located in a very obscure place is the blue glowing sign of Sushi X. Parking is everywhere because..well there just isn't anything else nearby. We parked right in front at meters. Its a small restaurant with a huge project screen of anime, and the lighting is very dim with an atmosphere of a trendy lounge. Two of us ordered 3 maki rolls which was more than enough. Each roll is about 10 or more pieces with each piece being the size of my palm. Ok its not that big, but its big enough that you are embarrassed to put the entire thing in your mouth at once. Good creative rolls, around $12-$15 each. You aren't here for the sashimi, you are here to stuff yourself with good maki rolls till you puke. Come around 6:30-7pm, it started getting busy around 8. read more

Oh my! They are not messing around with those mega rolls. I have been wanting to try Sushi X for a while now. They deliver but there is a $3 charge so I got off my lazy butt and picked it up. First thing I noticed was the heaviness of the bag. I just thought they put in a lot of soy sauce. When I got home I discovered that the mega roll consisted of 10 huge pieces filled with large chunks of sushi! I was sold. Flavor, quality, and quantity were good for the price. I recommend the double stack. Next time I will go and dine in especially since it is BYOB. read more

Ok, so we absolutely GORGED ourselves on some seriously delicious half-priced sushi last night. The three of us agreed that it was some of the best sushi we have had in a long time and we each have sushi several times a month. A couple things: The seating in the side area is poorly set up and it made it difficult for our server to get to us, therefore we didn't get a lot of service. When you first walk in, its so dark you can hardly see! Yikes. The table was a little grimy and the soy sauce bottle was a little icky too. Once I got over those things, I ate as though I hadn't eaten in days. The Red Dragon - uh-maz-ing. I also had the White Tiger. Yum. My friend had the Godzilla. Deeeelicious (a little too much cream cheese for me, but still very tasty) and this one that was all veggies with a ginger dipping sauce that was really good too. Overall it was super fresh, tasty and we absolutely stuffed ourselves for $24 each INCLUDING tip. Totally will be back for the special. read more

Went here last night for a friend's birthday. First of all, I disclose that I hate fish and ate leftovers before because I just planned on drinking. I wished I liked sushi, but I just don't. I know, hopefully one day I'll snap out of it. Service: Great! Servers were all really nice and we had several people come to our table, explaining, replenishing water, recommending, etc. Wonderful! Food: I admit I had no sushi but my table polished off a huge tray of it, and could only rave. I split the Asian Pot Roast with someone else with a side of Wasabi Mashed Potatoes. I wasn't even that excited to try it, but after I did, I couldn't stop myself. This was the BEST MEAT I may have ever tasted in my life. My boyfriend always complains that we can't go out to sushi places. He's going to think I've been replaced by the most selfless girlfriend ever when I take him here! Transportation: Super close to Blue Line, easy to get a cab, and tons of street parking right outside. Like you can literally park right in front. Wonderful. Atmosphere: I like that it was dimly lit, a little eclectic, a little rustic. Hard to pigeonhole the decor, because it seemed like art was misplaced but somehow worked. They have a projector which plays strange but very entertaining cartoons on the wall. I was sad I wasn't facing it because they looked interesting. Anyway, I loved it and you will too!!! So go! Go go go! read more

I had tried sushi in the past and truly thought it was the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted. Then a friend FORCED me to go here as a b-day dinner, and I am a completely changed person. Even though I just tried this last night, I could eat it again today. Must try! Tried the avacado & shitaki rolls first and was completely happy with my choice. I tried my friend's more adventurous crab rangoon and lava rolls, which were amazing. MUST TRY! read more

DO NOT GO HERE TO SIT FOR LUNCH. I went here on a beautiful sunny day thinking maybe since it looked like it was a dark place maybe it would be lively inside or they would have a back patio. No, it was dark, uncomfortably quiet and empty besides the one uber delivery driver that came in to pick up food. the woman working did not seem like she wanted me to be there. Why offer lunch if you are going to make people feel unwelcome? What an awkward experience. I got the lunch special which is $10 for miso soup, salad and one roll. The soup was pretty cold and my salad tasted like it had been drenched in mayo. The California roll was okay. It it looked as bland as it tasted and I've had better sushi from Marianos. Thanks, no thanks. read more

Dark as hell, I mean black, not nary a window. can't even see the menu which is in some Neo sushi language (inside out, hot cold etc.) and there is no damn sushi bar! Who is making my maki? Listen, go here if your having an affair with a stripper and you wanna make out in a dark corner while enjoying an overpriced Neo roll! read more

This is a great spot for girl's night out, especially during their half-off specials. The rolls are pretty good, there's no corkage, and I love the dark trendy vibe. They have one of the best creamy ginger salads in the city and the seaweed salad is generously portioned. The honey and spicy scallop rolls are amongst my favorite. I recently threw my bf a surprise 30th bday dinner here and Sushi X was so accomodating. We had a group of 16 and they gave us the curtained side section. They also let me drop off wine and cake in advance because they have a walk-in cooler. I was a bit nervous for the final tab because we had several large platters of sushi. However, with tax and tip it only came out to $30/head. read more

If you like Anime, House music, and sushi then this is your place! The rolls are Godzilla size (huge)! In fact you can get the Godzilla roll. I had the white tiger and the Megatron, both very good. The tuna tacos are excellent. The servers were fun and welcoming. Very trendy spot, looked closed from outside but once your in its totally chill spot!! Find the ninja and get a free desert!! Cool spot! read more

I love this place so much! The anime on the wall, the fact that it's byob around the corner from the most amazing fully stocked liquor store, the friendly staff. I love it I love it I love it! Wish I would have found it sooner. Love the decoration and prices. Stay great sushi X! read more

Clearly I need to stay out of River North. Or River West. Or whatever the hell neighborhood that is. Seven years ago, when I lived a mile away, Sushi X was my favorite sushi place. It was intimate, fun and the rolls were fantastic. The menu was small -- the basics and a few creative bigger rolls. I remember miso soup in tea mugs. It was like going to your own club and having sushi. It was perfect. Fast forward to 2010 and my fiance and I are in the neighborhood for an event and decide to stop in for some sushi (i.e. I say, there's this great sushi place that I used to go to). So yeah, the decor has not changed at all. And for that I'm grateful. Because everything else has. Instead of a tiny, awesome menu, it's a gigantic behemoth -- with a Trixie on the cover. I mean, it even said, "this month's model -- Trixie! -- with a ton of cooked rolls, cream cheese and tempura. We had three rolls and none were that great. The Venus Fly Trap has Sriricha -- cock sauce - -in it. and somehow wasn't even spicy. The Yellow Jacket was too mango-ey and saucy. The spicy scallop was pretty good. And the service? We had to ask for a wine bottle opener -- and they gave us one with only one arm. And it took 45 minutes for us to get our sushi when there were maybe 12 people in the whole restaurant. This place is now my Sushi Ex. read more

Hi, my name is Heather, and I'm addicted to Sushi X. By far my favorite sushi spot in Chicago! Most consistent as far as quality of taste and appearance that I've ever seen! Rolls are so inventive, unique, and flavorful! Although I've tried just about everything on the menu, I would without a doubt recommend: double stack, honey roll, red dragon, and yellow jacket. I love this place so much that my boyfriend and I have a "Sushi X" fund....we go there at least once a week! I swear I could be homeless and I guarantee I'd beg on the street not for Colt 45, but for money for Sushi X! Coolest thing about this place is they not only rule in sushi school, but they have happy hour specials on Sundays and Mondays (Chicago-Milwaukee location) from 5-7 p.m. where most rolls are HALF OFF! It's also BYOB...does it get any better?! How cool is it to go get fat and satisfied off sushi, bring a great bottle of wine, and spend less than $40 for two people! Seriously, now I'm getting hungry for it again... read more

You need to try the Sashimi Carpaccio!!! I'm not a vegetable eater by any means, but they made this salad taste like heaven danced all over your mouth while shooting off fireworks. It's that great! I know, the price for this carpaccio is pretty high in my book, but I think it's worth it plus you can make it up with some of their rolls' prices. It was definitely an experience and flavor beyond comprehension. This place is a true reliable place for the sushi fix or craving. Given that Japonais is down the street, we'd rather go here instead for either carry out (the food is still good in our books) or dining in. The price is so much better and the quality of the food is exceptional. We've taken out-of-state friends to Sushi X or ordered delivery for our friends and they love the place!!! You know you've got a great restaurant in your back pocket when you're willing to have your out-of-state (and out-of-country) friends try it and you know that the impression Sushi X leaves will be SUPERB!!! read more

small intimate but modern Sushi restaurant aka Sushi X I love Sushi X because the entire menu is delicious. First come first serve and great place for BYOB. I recommend the place before hitting the town for a more light dinner but be careful, Some of their Sushi Rolls are huge, but all so delicious. read more

This is my favorite Sushi place! There rolls are huge and delicious and all for a reasonable price! My favorite is the Godzilla and the Crab Ragoon. The best I have ever had. I also tried the Honey Rolls. They are very good too. I have tried many other Sushi restaurants before discovering Sushi X and honestly there is no comparison. Sushi X is definately without question a 5 Star winner in my book! read more

You want big-ass specialty rolls? Sushi X has 'em. You want super fast delivery in a cute box? Sushi X does that! You want delicious sashimi? Well, sorry - you'll have to go someplace else. Unless it's something that you've gotta ask for (as opposed to being on the menu) Sushi X is the first sushi place I've encountered where you can't order individual pieces of sashimi and sushi. Very strange. I thought their crab rangoon roll was just ok...could've used a little more cream cheese to hold the ingredients together. Delivery was blazingly fast, although the did leave one roll off my order (I wasn't charged for it, so I think the girl just didn't hear me). I was going to call them to ask them to bring it, when I saw the size of the crab rangoon roll....they don't call it a mega roll for nothing. read more

Eh. The good: We had a group of 27 for someone's birthday (OK I didn't plan it, I'd never get that many people together for a 23rd bday), but the restaurant actually closed down the restaurant for our "private party". The bad: When we called to adjust the amount of people for the reservation the day of, they tried to inform us THEN, about 3 hours prior to dinner, that there was a $30 minimum per person. They conveniently forgot to mention this when we made the reservation. The grub: I really like the spicy tuna roll, it was the spiciest roll I've ever had, which I like. One of the shrimp rolls tasted a little funky, so after two pieces I left the rest. The place is BYOB, which I'm starting to appreciate more and more. You can find a better place, I think. read more

Best Sushi I have ever tried! No exaggeration- it's not a hole in the wall, but with competitors in the Wicker area, this gem is hidden, and I would suggest coming here for a date! It's romantic, great service, quiet, on the smaller side, but neat, and the sushi is so good! It's served perfectly at room tempeture, all the ingredients are fresh, and it's not like other sushi restaurants where you can easily prefer one type of roll over the other, but you have a challenging time deciding which one to get. I was invited as a guest for a holiday work party, and with it being BYOB, the bill wasn't as bad as I would have expected. As soon as the two hour holiday work party was over at 8:00 p.m on a Friday night, people came in to dine immediately. So it seems that this restaurant is a local favorite for sushi, and once you've ate here, you want to come back again and again. The manager was nice and reasonable, so whether you are making reservations or gathering a group of people together, this intimate spot is the place to go! My favorite was the Spider roll, but everything including the appetizers, which including tender beef and shrimp, was awesome. read more

My friends and I were starving in our dorms on a cold winter late night and were desperately trying to find good food to eat, and 7-11 couldn't provide us with that. After searching the interwebs, we found a number for Sushi X and called. The prices were a bit high but we were hungry, they delivered, and they had MOCHI ICE CREAM!!! which all three of us adore. So, we went ahead and told the order to the lady over the phone, and gave her our address. At that moment, she said: "Oh, I'm sorry, you're out of our delivery range". I almost cried! I told my friends and they groaned with exasperation- which the woman must have noted because she then said "hold on, i'll see what I can do" and convinced the delivery guy to deliver to us. We obviously tipped him very generously- an order that totaled to $120 for 3 people! Upon receiving the food, we were already impressed by the fancy translucent, minimalist packaging. The sushi... was amazing. We each ordered the honey roll, and I also ordered a godzilla roll- all of which were decadent, and surprisingly fresh. The coffee mochi ice cream I ordered was also amazing! Alhough I've only ordered from here once (since they can't technically deliver to my area), I plan on going to the restaurant quite a bit! read more

This was my first and last visit to this location. I've gotten carry out from the Lincoln Park location numerous times and have thoroughly enjoyed the food. So when we found ourselves right down the street from this branch and hungry, we stopped in for dinner. My first impression stepping into this tiny, dark room is that they are trying too hard. Bright blue walls, low lights and the giant screen playing anime, with overly-loud generic music in the background? No thanks. And the grey mini blinds on the tiny window in the corner seemed to take away any cool points they earned with the slate tables and frosted glass candles. And the entire space was filled with the booming voice of a guy on his cell phone showing us all just how important he is. It would have been nice to hear about the special (Sunday - Wednesday 5pm -7pm half price rolls) from our server *before* we placed our order. I would have ordered differently, if I didn't hear about it when she was greeting the table next to us.. about five minutes after we had placed our order. The food was okay but really nothing special: miso - bland veggie tempura - not much variety, but okay maki - small in size and not big on flavor We would have ordered the wasabi mashed potatoes, but we were denied by the waitress with no reason as to why they weren't serving them. Our waitress might as well have been a robot, and an inefficient one at that. She took our order and dropped off our food, sure.. but when we were ready for the check, she was at the counter texting on her phone.. for way too long. If our waitress hadn't sucked, and we would have been able to order the wasabi mashed potatoes, our dinner would have been worth coming back here again. Oh well.. next! read more

We visited this place because of all the good reviews. And my verdict: Worst sushi I've ever had. The fish was stale and smelled bad. Lighting isn't great here and I had a little LED flashlight with me, so I used it briefly to get a better look at what was in my sushi. The owner came over and jokingly said, "There's a reason why we keep it dark here". Talk about a Freudian slip! Although they are a BYOB place, they do not have wine glasses. Instead, the gave us little grapefruit juice glasses. And then they didn't have space on the table for their wine bucket, so they put it on the seat beside us. Needless to say, we won't be going back. Side note: On the way out, we saw a party of three come in. They had a six-pack of wine (!) with them - that's 4.5 Liters of wine...goodness! read more

First and foremost, the only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because the honey roll was bland and there are no windows. Am i being picky? maybe. But please make a note that every other rolls BLEW me away. The service was great too! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TRY IT! We had: House salad: Really good flavor. A little too much dressing for my taste, but overall good! Godzilla: really good. I liked that this roll had cream cheese in it, and didn't take up half the roll. Majority of sushi rolls with cream cheese have way too much and mask the taste of every other ingredient.This, did not. It was great. And it was huge. Five-0: I will start by saying I am in love with bacon, and just the other day i was telling my boyfriend that they should put it in sushi. Fast forward two weeks later and BAM.. we find a roll here at Sushi X with bacon in it. The bacon is not overpowering and is such a great addition to a sushi roll. WELL DONE! One of my favorites. And again, big roll. Dragonfly: This roll tasted really fresh, which the mango had a lot to do with. It came with a side of this sweet/spicy sauce. You could compare it to some sauces you receive with spring rolls. Very good. One of my favorites. This one was big too! Megatron: This had a nice kick to it! Nice balance of everything but a little creamy. Good size roll! Honey roll: This one I was not such a fan of. It had a lot of cucumber and not much taste, which i was not expecting since the name "honey roll" made me expect a very sweet flavor. It was half off. Just not for me. One of the smaller rolls. Like i said, the service was great! Really nice people and did not have to wait very long for our food! This is one of my top spots now for sure. read more
