“100% clean sushi! Best sushi I’ve had so far. I’ve been to a lot of sushi places, which are mostly ‘Americanized ‘ with a lot of spicy mayo and such sauces.. they have a lot of more authentic and tasty options! Drinks are amazing too ! Very friendly staff and the ambiance was amazing even though a small cozy place ! Would highly recommend”
“Nice portion , fresh fish, good flavor rice. Nice eating area. Hidden gem”
“Delicious sushi, great service, affordable prices, fantastic ambiance, warm sake... what more can you ask for?”
“Love sushi a lot especially when visiting Chicago. First time visiting this cute place and the sashimi and nigiris were decent but it was very pricey. The chefs and servers were friendly and attentive... just be ready to shell out $$$.”
“I enjoy eating at this Sushi restaurant whenever I am in Chicago. I had the 23rd Street roll, which was excellent. I tried the Japanese Plum wine, which was a bit sweet for my liking, but I'm glad I tried it”
“A cute and cozy place that serves delicious food with great hospitality. A perfect place to share with friends, family, or just yourself! Try it out :)”
“Delicia japonesa en el centro de Chicago, una excelente opción para cenar a precio razonable y sazón único! El tiramisú de té verde maravilloso!”
“Absolutely loved this place. My husband and I came here while traveling, and it's some of the best sushi we've had. Very fresh sushi. We even came back a second time. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was romantic, and establishment clean. The two rolls we got the first time we went were the Rolling Dirty and Yakuza. They weren't drowned in sauces so you could really taste how delicious the fish were. Flavors were amazing.”
“10/10. The food is delicious. The Maki rolls are tasteful. The vibes are great. Our waitress and staff were extremely friendly. The miso soup and Gyoza: 10/10 The Lychee martini, volcano roll, and fried spicy tuna are 10/10! If you are planning to come here and unsure of which sushi spot to hit, just come here. You’ll be very happy.”
“Friends Sushi is such a gem! We stumbled upon it while shopping and I’m so glad we did! It’s super cozy and vibey inside, perfect for a relaxed date night! The sushi was super fresh and flavorful, everything we ordered hit. Service was amazing too! From the moment we walked in everyone was really friendly and attentive. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back and bring friends next time! 🍣🍸”
