“What a gorgeous place.”

What a gorgeous place. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was just delightful. I highly recommend the Thai iced coffee, I can’t stop thinking about it!

“Don’t go to the cheap sushi buffet a block south, just go here.”

Don’t go to the cheap sushi buffet a block south, just go here. Miso soup has more salt and flavor and punches better, and their rainbow roll is one of their stronger rolls I highly suggest getting. I would be so happy to just get 5 rainbow rolls and a miso soup.

“High quality sushi.”

High quality sushi. It’s really find to find good fish around here in Chicago, especially sushi places that have the perfect balance of fish and rice.

“We have always loved green tea, mainly ordering take out.”

We have always loved green tea, mainly ordering take out. We went to their new location and the place is beautiful with a very nice atmosphere and great service. All of our roles were amazing and fish tasted fresh. Highly recommended.

“Green tea is very unassuming and I will say that it was very different in a good way.”

Green tea is very unassuming and I will say that it was very different in a good way. The service was great. Our waitress checked in often with me. And the food was very good. I have to say one of the best quality from what I have been able to try over the years. The atmosphere or ambiance was out of this world. If only other places had the kind of style that green tea had! I will say that the fried tempura was the best from all other Japanese restaurants I have been to. Give green tea a try, you don’t regret it!

“I recently had the opportunity to dine at Green Tea Japanese Restaurant, a place I hadn't visited in over a decade.”

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Green Tea Japanese Restaurant, a place I hadn't visited in over a decade. The restaurant has since relocated and undergone a transformation in its interior design. A friend highly recommended it, so I decided to give it a try. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cozy setup, with just a few tables, created an intimate and inviting ambiance. The new decor is beautifully done, making the space feel both modern and comfortable. The service was exceptional from the start. The waiter was attentive, friendly, and offered great recommendations for the dishes. I ordered several items to sample, including the Spicy Kampachi, Grilled Squid Robata, and the Omakase Nigiri Set, which came with miso soup and a salad. Each dish was prepared to perfection—bursting with flavor and presented with care. The freshness of the ingredients and the attention to detail truly stood out. Combined with the excellent service and delightful atmosphere, the dining experience was memorable. This restaurant has definitely exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. If you’re looking for delicious Japanese cuisine in a cozy and well-decorated setting, I highly recommend Green Tea Japanese Restaurant. It’s a place I’ll gladly visit again!

“Update: last night we found out you had moved to a new location.”

Update: last night we found out you had moved to a new location. Im so happy we found you easily, we were hungry. Im so happy to see you guys are doing so great. I’m happy to see you’re expanding. It was very nice to see the team and familiar faces. Thanks for keeping some of my favorite dishes and for making a bigger menu. You’re the best and 1st choice, always a good experience. Love the environment, the people and the food. I loved the new presentation of the food, missed a little bit the old presentation so hopefully you keep it for some dishes. Keep it up, you’re great. Wonderful as always! —————————————————— After eating here I couldn’t believe I didn’t find this gem before, I now know I resonated at the same frequency when I found it. Sushi is very fresh. I got Threekings and Ginger Saba maki and they were both amazing rolls. Service was great from both waitress and chef. Had a nice talk with chef Get. It’s a very cozy environment and Japanese feel here. Sushi is art and I am really grateful chef made such tasty and beautiful dishes for me. I say the best experiences eating sushi is always at the bar. Have to come back for their Ramen, it sounds really good. To the owner and the people who work here, You got me at Green tea! Arigatō 🙏🏻

We’ve been to this place several times when they were at their old location, and the food is just as incredible as ever. Now, with more space and a fancier atmosphere, it’s an even better experience. The staff is super friendly, and in my opinion, it’s hands down the best sushi spot in Chicago!

“This is hands down some of the best sushi I've ever had.”

This is hands down some of the best sushi I've ever had. You literally couldn't go wrong with any item on the menu. If I could eat here for every meal of every day, I would. Awesome service, atmosphere, staff, everything. Do not miss this spot. Only downside is that I can't give this place more stars. (pic is spicy miso, everything was gorgeous and had good presentation but we were too entranced to even take any pics after the soup).

“Green tea is a phenomenal sushi spot.”

Green tea is a phenomenal sushi spot! As big time sushi fans we love coming here. The space is small so call ahead on weekends. Our favorites are the agedashi tofu and shrimp tempura.
