Best sushi anywhere! Chef Katsu uses outstanding ingredients and turns them into stars. You won't find fancy sauces here, but everything is beautifully displayed, and you taste every ingredient and the masterful combinations of flavors. It is quite expensive, but you expect to pay high prices for the highest quality. If you want to taste pure and authentic Japanese cuisine at its best and aren't afraid of the bill you'll rack up, Katsu is a must. As far as I am concerned, it's the best restaurant in Chicago!

Best sushi I have had in this country, Katsu is master Sushi chef. If you want the finest, freshest, most elegant presentation, you found your place. Even better than the crazy NY sushi place my investment broker took me too a couple years ago, and that was about 1K per person.

Excellent fresh sushi, blue tuna, salmon and scallops very fresh, taste perfect. Also had a great saki Goriki perfect blend with the food ordered. Everyone at the table enjoyed the dishes ordered. Nothing bad at this restaurant. It is the best sushi place in Chicago.

Best sushi experience in town, bar none. It is pricey, but totally worth it. Go for the omakase: chef's tasting. Let the chef select for you. Omakase features what's freshest and most unusual. Very authentic. Delicious and a must!

No wonder the Stones stop by here whenever they're in town - this is hands down the freshest and best sushi in the city. Definitely not the trendiest looking spot inside or out, but the service was great and the sushi was lights out. It was a little odd how many people came by our table to help us - at least 4 different members of the staff - but everyone was really helpful and honest with our ordering. They pointed us in the right direction and we left comfortably full. Also, I called at 5:30pm on a Friday and got a 7:30pm reservation and there was still room in the restaurant. They get their fish flown in fresh either day of or day before so you know it's going to be amazing. And Chef Katsu treats the fish so delicately that you really get the fish's full flavor/texture. I recommend getting one of the nigiri Chef Specials. They'll ask you if there is anything on the menu to avoid and whether or not you like wasabi, and then they run wild. The salmon was unbelievably fresh and a very generous portion. I also recommend trying the hot appetizers - the eggplant/tofu dish was so delicious and was a nice complement to all of the sashimi/nigiri/maki we got. It's not cheap - so if California rolls are the extent of your sushi eating, I'd probably go somewhere else - but it's definitely worth it if you love sushi - plus a 28 for food on Zagat says a lot.

Katsu is hands down the best place for sushi in Chicago. If you look outside of Chicago for comparison in my mind it is superior to the places I have been to in NYC. Haroku and Katsu are incredibly kind and humble, which makes the experience of dining with them that much more special.

I had some really good sushi here. I ordered the omakase sushi 12 pieces (chef's choice). I got yellow tail, salmon, white tuna (torro), tuna, squid, shrimp, sea urchin (uni), oyster, tuna tar tar sushi, crab, scallop, and mackerel. I liked them all except for the squid (not a big fan of squid as sushi). These were not your typical sushi as most of them came with a slight addition to add a little flavor, usually a roe but some had a little sprout or leaf to go with it. The only reason it's not five stars is I didn't think it was worth the price. I thought the sushi would have been better without any of the frills/additions and just served as straight fish. Roe and truffles and gold foil is expensive to add on sushi and it would bring the cost down and just be the great flavor of the fish.

This is an excellent sushi restaurant. Very authentic and the owners are hands-on and attentive. You can get cooked Japanese food so there is something for everyone. The rolls and nigiri are fresh and delicious.

This is by far the best and the most authentic Japanese restaurant in Chicago. If you crave for real Japanese sushi, and not the "westernized" Maki rolls, you won't miss it. The only downside is its location, but it won't deter the ernest.
