AMAZING sushi! Fresh and delicious! Lots of Japanese people go here, which I take as a sign of great, authentic food. Waitstaff is awesome. Our food took longer than usual because it was so busy (went on a Friday night), and they continued to apologize and gave us a complimentary cucumber salad! Love this place!
The menu is diverse and the staff is friendly and fast. We let the sushi chef decide our meal. We had 4 courses of amazing food. The fish is fresh and extremely well prepared. You must try this place!
I can't believe no one here has rated this place yet. I have been going here since right after it opened when it used to be on Clark. Some of the same waitresses and sushi chefs whom were working in th 80's are still here! I have never had a bad dish and I eat both raw and cooked. Family favorites are the mushroom appetizer in a pot, the salt-and-peppered smelt, and their mackerel teriyaki. raw items always fresh too, I wouldn't trust some of this stuff anywhere but here!
This place has a very genuine experience of a Sushi Restaurant / Bar. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. The food tasted very fresh and not made to suit an inexperienced taste bud. I had the Shirmp Tempura Udon, and even though it wasn't flavorful it tasted just right. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I would like to go back and try more on the menu because I trust the the chef.
This is perhaps one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in Chicago, and apparently, it's one of the oldest.
Ambience: in the dining area, it looks like a renovated diner while the sushi bar is much more Japanese-like. It is quiet when do one is there, but at crowded times, it's very loud!
Service: very prompt service, but be aware that 50 pieces of sushi is a lot and will take longer, especially when there's a full house!
Food: OMG the tantan ramen is probably the best ramen I've ever had in Chicago (even better than Cocoro's ramens, which rank really high on my list). Plus, it's rare to see this ramen on the menu in Chicago so give it a try! The sushi is also very fresh and traditional :)
Great tasting sushi. The sushi rice was excellent and the fish fresh and delicious. The beef udon was very tasty, piping hot and the noodles and broth were great. Good selection of sushi and sashimi. The green tea mochi ice cream was good. We went at lunch time and the service was prompt and courteous.
Sad to hear this place is closing on June 30! I HIGHLY recommend trying it before they do. The sushi selection is amazing and the tastes are authentic. We tried Spicy Tuna Maki, Dragon Maki, Philly Roll with Smoked Salmon, and Texas Maki - all fantastic
Their udon noodles and ramen are amazing. Everything I have ordered from this place is great never been disappointed. Everything is fresh made none of that over hyped sushi place atmosphere. If you want authentic this is the place
Come on up to the sushi bar and join one of the many, many regulars who call Itto Sushi a second culinary home. Daily fish specials, chef selection combinations and the best sake in town.
Amazing sushi! Completely legit and authentic. My japanese friends tell me that this is the most authentic Japanese sushi places in Chicago and they are right! SO freakin good and they have FREE valet parking!
