“Food is the segue to our shared humanity as it is the one thing that binds us together on our human journey. This place is a hidden gem, across the Fire Department, don't miss it. The ambiance inside pulls you in, wish I could have grabbed a squat. I had a conversation with "V" and the passion that he has for the human experience, engaging with customer is without rival. I got the Tempura rolls and a Asparagus Roll which were some of the best that I ever had and I've had the privilege of bouncing around the Earth on a culinary scale. This is my new go-to whenever I'm in Chicago. Sushi X hits the spot!”
“This place never disappoints. My boo and I have been coming here for over 12 years, and it remains a favorite. Freshest, delicious sushi, wonderful service and cool atmosphere.”
“Best vegetarian sushi I have had in Chicago. They were nice enough to replace all non-veg ingredients with whatever we like. We had veg gyoza, godzilla, dragonfly and red crush sushi. everything was on spot.”
“Great selection of rolls that I've never had before. Perfect if you are looking for something other than your regular sushi”
“Went in around 5pm, the staff was very chipper and got us seated. They checked in pretty consistently and refilled our water at a good pace. There was a good variety of sushi rolls- since I don't eat sushi with uncooked fish, that was real nice to find out! The music was a fun collection of covers of modern & 2010s pop, with some 80s covers sprinkled in. The place was decorated with anime-themed memorabilia, though not too much. Small repairs were being done in the bathroom, but it was still usable. I hope this place gets more love!”
“Loved the Manager Vibol Staff was very attentive even during a busy rush, Food was great, Been coming for here for the last 7 years Regulars of ours are the Red chicken, Beef asparagus, Godzilla and spider crab roll”
“Food was fantastic, great music and vibes We had the Godzilla, beef asparagus and other rolls all were great Great art and even a toy for our lil one to play with”
“Georgia was awesome! I love a personal and fun waiter. Food was good and space was really fun and bright. I’ll definitely come back.”
“I live around the corner from this sushi spot and never knew it was here. Lol. I'm not sure that I was fully convinced by the flavors, but it was good enough for me to give it another try. I really liked the interiors—the perfect amount of lighting and music choice. My only comment for improvement would be not to play sports on the projection wall. It kinda kills the vibe of the place, particularly because the aesthetics of the restaurant seem to be completely different from a sports restaurant. From my view, the idea of this place is to create a Japanese urban feel. It would be cool to see this portrayed on the projection screen. I know Japan has some cool urban history. +prices are affordable Edit- went here for the second time and I had the red chicken. It was delicious, they were also playing some cool music. My rating has gone up to 5 stars.”
“Sushi X is a great spot. Service is always great. We Love their food. I would recommend all the rolls except the fresh crab roll, taste too fishy. The Godzilla is excellent.”
“Disclaimer: I am not a fan of sushi. I was told the sushi was delicious, but this review mainly covers atmosphere, service, and options for the sushi-averse who find themselves at a sushi joint because their friends and family love sushi. I went with a party of four, two teens and two adults, on a Friday around 8:00 p.m. We walked, but there is paid street parking in the immediate area outside the restaurant. It's across from a fire station and near a bridge over the expressway, so you may have to venture down a side street to park. Once inside, you immediately feel how intimate the setting is. There are about 10-12 small tables in a pretty small space, so be prepared to get close. We were greeted and seated right away by the server, who was really nice and calm even though he was the only server. He was also pretty knowledgeable about the menu items. We had to wait a bit to order, but that was fine because it gave us time to peruse the menu (have your phone ready to scan the QR code for the menu), check out the interesting decor (all black walls with interesting fusion artwork, and a large screen with a relaxing water and terrain landscape video on a loop), and discover the music playing (super-chill, loungy-vibe covers of popular songs). The sushi menu was compact and simple to order. Unlike some sushi spots that have entrees and side items to satisfy the non-sushi-eating tag-alongs, the menu is not inclusive, which was expected. Here's exactly what you'll have if you don't eat sushi: panko-crusted chicken breast strips with BBQ-ish red sauce, edamame, and a small bowl of rice, all of which were simply ok. We didn't have dessert, but there is mochi, lemoncello cake, and a chocolate peanut butter cup cake. Overall, this is a chill spot with no frills. Cool if you're just looking for a quiet spot to get a quick sushi fix.”
