Very good sushi. We had one maki roll and one of the specialty rolls. Perfect amount for two people. One odd things is they don't serve beer or wine, instead you can drink your own that you bring.

We were staying at a hotel downtown, and getting the pizza box of sushi delivered to our hotel and eating it by Lake Michigan was the highlight of my day. The variety was amazing and each roll was fresh and delicious! We also had the passionfruit mochi, which was one of the best ice cream desserts I have had in a long time.

“Just went to this amazingly quaint and astoundingly yummy spot.”
Just went to this amazingly quaint and astoundingly yummy spot. Firstly the selection is very impressive, with something for everyone. Secondly the pricing is beyond reasonable. It felt good ordering appetizers and multiple rolls. And lastly the food. It is exceptional in my opinion. Not only are the rolls finely crafted, the combinations are unique and delicious. Staples like curry are exactly as they should be. I only wish I lived closer, but will return!

“The sushi is delicious and unique.”
The sushi is delicious and unique! Be aware that 1) extra eel sauce was $3 and 2) you’ll be sitting up close and personal w some strangers but I keep coming back

We had a wonderful lunch following our visit to Millennium Park. The food was fresh and flavorful. The lovely staff was very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. As we ate we noticed they were setting up the outside patio and it looked very inviting.

Known for its Viral Sushi Pizza box which I always get when I go but pleasantly surprised at all the amazing dining options. The coziest space perfect for date night and the best shrimp Shuma I’ve had. Loved the Thai curries too. Get their Ocean Drive Roll and Godzilla. BYOB too!

Came here for a birthday dinner. I got the silver platter. Every single thing was so good. The miso soup was really good and has mushrooms and caramelized onions. They also gave us a wonderful birthday treat!

“Been looking for a go to sushi place for frequent take out sushi in Chicago and WOW Tanuki did an amazing job.”
Been looking for a go to sushi place for frequent take out sushi in Chicago and WOW Tanuki did an amazing job. To start, the sushi pizza concept is great for getting together with friends for a sushi night. The rolls are also HUGE, definitely getting your moneys worth. The fish was very fresh and packaging was great to protect the rolls. Really appreciated them taking the initiative to go ahead and serrated package the gluten free items in our order. Can’t wait to order it again next week!
