Sample the Best Sushi in Chicago

Sep 30, 2015

Although the windy city is known for its deep dish pizza and hot dogs, Chicago is also a place full of diversity and the blending of rich cultures. You can find a food for any taste here, especially if you’re looking for some raw, Asian cuisine. The next time you’re in Chicago, be sure to check out the best sushi restaurants in the city!

Coast

2045 N. Damen Ave

Sushi at Coast restaurant is always top quality, with nigri and maki as their signature items. Some of the more popular dishes include the Hamachi Carpacio appetizer, Angry Salmon and Tuna on Top Maki. The atmosphere inside is relaxed, with the feel of an upscale lounge. Coast is BYOB and we recommend you make a reservation on the weekends because it gets very crowded. If you prefer to sit at a bar while you wait to be seated, visit their other location at 1700 S. Michigan Ave.

Agami

4712 N. Broadway Street

Agami is a stylish and sophisticated sushi restaurant with a menu so large you may need to study it ahead of time. One of the dishes they are known for is the Spicy Tuna Rice Crispy, that gets garnished with paper-thin pieces of jalapenos. We also recommend the Ocean Drive Maki, full of ingredients: yellowtail, tuna, cilantro, avocado, green peppers and spicy masago wrapped up in a cod sheet. If you aren’t into the raw stuff, their cooked meals are excellent.

Kamehachi

1320 Shermer Rd

Kamehachi is a raw-lovers paradise, because not only do they have the freshest sushi around, but they offer raw oyster shooters garnished with a quail egg! Eat in their upstairs or downstairs dining rooms and enjoy the friendly waitstaff. Other specialties include chicken teriyaki and pork katsu.
