Lawrence Fish Market Chinatown — well-regarded japanese in Chinatown. Order the Sushi. The kind of spot that earns loyalty, not hype, and good value. "The rice is well seasoned and the fish tastes fresh" — John Sun

The best sushi in Chicago, hands down! This place is a hidden gem. Everything is so fresh. They have quick service, draft beer, large cuts for sashimi, etc. I recommend the summer roll, spicy tuna, and all of the sashimi. We have also ordered the sushi trays to-go for parties, which was a total hit.

Lawrence Fish Market, right in the heart of Chinatown, is a hidden gem that offers delicious food, excellent value, and options for every budget. The staff is friendly, professional, and always welcoming. My personal favorite is the avocado roll—fresh, simple, and absolutely delicious. If you haven’t been there yet, stop by and see for yourself why so many people love this place!

I did take out for NYE and it was such a great experience! The fish was so fresh and their party tray assortment was so good! I’ve also dined in and the service is amazing, the wait staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere feels like a little slice of Tokyo! Come here for high quality sushi at a low cost, I love this place and you will too ♥️

Seafood is fresh and umami. Location is a plus because it is near by Chinatown area without traveling across the city for sushi. Our waitress was very friendly.

Caterpillar (big roll) The rolls here are very tasty and fresh. I highly recommend them. One of my favorites is the summer roll, but this time I chose another one and it was also very tasty. As for the roll, it's a good restaurant. The salmon and tuna are very fresh, and the prices are reasonable.
