Rolls N Bowls — one of Lincoln Square's strongest japanese spots. Family-run, BYOB. Frankie Jackson: "Their crab rangoon is - no joke - the best I’ve ever had, and the sushi is bangin’" [$]

🍷BYOB — grab a bottle next door, they'll open it.

I got a to-go sushi dinner from here and I'm looking forward to coming back here again. The service and food were amazing and the decor felt like you were overseas.

My family and I love this place! Definitely one of our top Sushi places to go to in Chicago and we've tried a lot! It really is a hidden in the wall gem!

Fantastic, Japanese spot in Lincoln Square. Needs some update in their design but food was spot on. I will definitely come back. 👍

Cozy atmosphere. Great food. Chill vibes. Excellent service. The food was beautiful and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and quick. The spicy ramen soup was delicious and it was the right amount of spice. The rainbow roll was probably the largest I’ve ever seen. I would definitely recommend this place.

This is our go to place for a California roll. We normally order the Crab Rangoon and Chicken Potstickers for the appetizer. I usually eat more than my share. I’ve been ordering the B Bim Bio Beef which is good. The service is fast and friendly. I appreciate the patience when we have brought the kids with us over the past few years. The Japanese soda is a favorite of the kids. I take some drinks as the dad tax.

The food and service here were absolutely lovely. The Thai Iced Tea is rich and delicious I had two when I normally only have one because of the caffeine. Waking up in the night was worth it.

Staff was friendly, the restaurant was cute, and the food was delicious! I got the pork katsu; can’t judge their sushi just yet. But staff was very friendly, and I liked everything that came with my meal (miso soup, rice, salad, pork, etc.) My one and only complaint is that I wish there was slightly more sauce for the katsu but other than that, yummy. ☺️

Ive been here before for the sushi and yakisoba and enjoyed it. This time I got the teriyaki beef half veg half rice bowl but wouldn’t really recommend. It came with 3 pieces of vegetables. The beef was a bit chewy with a piece or two of gristle, and it was kinda drowned in teriyaki sauce. Most everything else i had from here was good, just wasnt as big a fan of this.
