“Awesome variety of sushi available here! Everything tasted wonderfully and fresh. For being fresh sushi, the price is really good at 1.25/oz. Also, all the staff members here are really helpful :)”
“Pretty high standard of pre-made sushi in the city. The prices can sneak up on you, especially if you come in with a hungry stomach, but it’s a convenient treat to have in the city for a quick lunch. Will definitely be coming back.”
“Novel concept, tasty, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. This mixed 10-piece was $15. Great for those who love variety or looking for a fresh take on the sushi experience. Would recommend.”
“I learned about this place on Instagram and it did not disappoint. The concept is simple, you pay by weight of the items you select. The staff was polite and greeted us when we entered. Definitely will come back when I'm in the area.”
“You guys are so kind! And the food is all delicious. I'm going to come back again in a few days!🌟”
“Very interesting concept, sushi are good quality, all different and tasty, the most important it's not just crab imitation (hate it), mostly fish, different types of sauces, highly recommend to try”
“Grain and Sea is hands down one of the best sushi spots in Chicago! The variety of rolls is amazing, everything is so fresh, and the flavors are spot on. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience exceptional every time. Highly recommend! 🎉”
“I love sushi by weight restaurants and was so happy to find one by the office. The sushi was delicious and the employees are so nice. I dined in and there are plenty of seats, but you can get take out. I’ll be coming back often.”
“What a great concept! Sushi by the weight! I got to try a significant amount of sushi without having to get a roll! Not only was it delicious but you could see how diligent the employees were to make sure everything was available to grab without a wait time. Greta food, friendly staff, and I definitely left full!”
