“Wholesome food, busy place, very popular. Special sushi like negi natto”
“I really like the sushi: very high quality and good price! I really recommend to anyone to go here. I usually order the sushi and after go to the coffee (in the picture) near by to it (you are allowed to do it). This way you can have drinks.”
“A charming little spot for surprisingly fresh sushi! When you enter Sea Ranch, you are warmly greeted by the workers and fun atmosphere. They have a collection of Asian groceries and snacks along with a handful of tables for dining. This is a great place for takeout sushi and snacks, and there are lots of different fresh rolls and fish on display ready to buy. Of course, you can place an order as well to eat in. I chose the Sushi Supreme combination, which had a nice collection of nigiri and a few pieces of tuna. All the fish tasted high quality, and the prices weren’t too bad either. If you’re looking for a good balance of simplicity and taste, try Sea Ranch!”
“Really good spot to grab some Japanese groceries and to enjoy a good meal! Had good sushi and sashimi, pretty good quality and well prepared. Also had the chirashi udon combo( what a great deal (fish bowl AND an udon bowl) for $10. Sheesh. In THIS economy? Good food at a great price in a nice environment with good vibes? AND you can pick up some snacks afterwards? Can’t complain!”
“My goodness what a wonderfully fresh and delicious place. I felt like I was back on the west coast. So many amazing veggie options. The inari tofu was so delicate and the sushi rice was the perfect texture. I wish I took more pics to share. This is comfort sushi at its best. This will be my new go to spot.”
“I’m vegan and gluten-free so it’s hard for me to find legit places to eat. Wonderful staff who were very accommodating and delicious food 10 out of 10 recommend!”
“Such a cozy and delicious spot for sushi. My husband is a big sushi lover, but as a vegetarian, I usually struggle to find a place where my rolls don’t end up tasting fishy, like they were made in the same prep area. This is the very first place where I can truly enjoy fresh, flavorful vegetarian sushi that tastes amazing on its own. I always order #15. The inari are my absolute favorite, I adore them. The staff here are always so sweet, patient, and helpful. I work just a few steps away, so I come by regularly, and every visit is a consistently great experience.”
“Was pleasantly surprised by my last visit to Sea Ranch - their sushi has improved and the rice was perfectly sticky and fresh, along with the fish. Big improvement from a year ago while prices have remained reasonable. Thank you Sea Ranch for the improved quality!”
“My go-to place for sushi in Evanston. Reasonably priced and cozy, and you can order without interacting with anyone by scanning a qr code on a table. High quality fish. Tiny wobbly tablets, the cheapest chopsticks that could give you a splinter, and the fact that you are sitting in a Japanese grocery store just adds a lot to the vibe. Maybe the closest I have been to Japan. You can buy everything you need to make sushi on your own, or bunch of essential Japanese groceries, snacks or drinks. They even have sake! The only thing that bothers me -- Spotify ads. You can't get away from them.”
