Reviews for Komorebi Sushi in Chicago, IL
Feels like a neighborhood sushi spot but with great quality sushi! They had uni but ran out before we wanted to order more but... we said to ourselves that we were glad because this meant that it was likely more fresh. Wait staff were very kind! It is BYOB. Read more

Sushi is a delightful experience on a Saturday evening, especially when it's shared with lovely company I recommend you check ... located in Wicker Park. They offer great service, a wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. We were greeted promptly by ourwaitresses, who was energetic and cheerful with a wonderful personality. She gave great recommendations on what we should tryonce she noticed we were little stuck making a decision. We chose the cloud nine, truffle, and maki combo rolls.

We really enjoy this place. We love the freshness of the sushi here. Highly recommend snow white roll, love the different... textures you get from every bite. We also liked the German roll you get a variety of flavors from every piece. Tequila rollbrings freshness to your mouth. We had Shumai and spicy edemame for starter and enjoyed both. ????

I have been searching for great sushi places since moving to Chicago. This place is not only affordable, but it’s fantastic!... Some of the freshest fish I’ve ever had! I’m very picky when it comes to fish. I’ve been fortunate enough to eat sushi atthe fish markets in Japan and Australia- two of the largest in the world, so I believe I am qualified to say what tastes likefresh fish. What we had: Yellowtail jalapeño ($14) “yellowtail topped with jalapeño and cilantro, and shredded beets withponzu.” It doesn’t say it in the description, but this is Sashimi. Spicy, sweet, refreshing. Probably my favorite- which iswhy I had one at the end of the meal as well. Overall: 10/10 Ocean vinaigrette ($15) “rolled up with yellowtail, scallion,and avocado, topped with tuna, salmon, micro green, and blueberry ponzu vinaigrette.” Very fresh. Nice sweetness from theblueberry; it’s complementary without being over powering. Overall: 8/10 Acapulco ($10) “yellowtail, super white tuna, andavocado, harmonizing with the pungent flavor of cilantro jalapeño and house Mayo.” Very mild. Fresh. Mostly creamy- somewhatfrom the mayo, but also from the white tuna and avocado. Not spicy at all. I didn’t taste the cilantro or the jalapeño. Thiswould be amazing served with ponzu. I happened to have some leftover from my first dish, and it was so good. Overall:7/10 Tequila ($16) “One of the greatest choices for fresh taste. Tuna, yellowtail, cilantro, avocado, jalapeño, and housemayo wrapped in green soybean sheet with generous drips of fresh lime and chili oil.” The description is accurate. This isvery fresh. It is also very spicy due to the chili oil, so make sure you squirt the lime in it to add some depth of flavor. Myboyfriend’s second favorite roll. I like it, but the chili oil is more forward than the lime. I feel that it’s slightly offbalance because it needs more citrus. More limes perhaps? Or yuzu? Or ponzu. Overall: 8/10 Meguan ($12) “tasteful pleasurepermeated with tropi Read more
I've been frequent guest at the Komorebi Sushi for years now and always had great experience. I love sushi and enjoyed it... throughout the city of Chicago and anywhere I went on a pleasure or a business trip. It always came to comparing any otherrestaurant to Komorebi as their quality and freshness of food is unmatched for me at this point. They are the only one to myknowledge using black rice in some of their roles that makes HUGE difference in your sushi experience. I would definitelyrecommend Mafia, Tequila and German rolls if you like it spicy but the rest of them are equally tasty! On top of that,friendliness of the staff is unmatched and will make you feel at home not to mentioned they are BYOB with no corkagefee! Speaking of friendly staff and restaurant customer retain policy(not sure they have an official one but in my books theyknow how to keep customer coming back), they sent me a full meal free of charge as I wasn't able to go with my family to dinnerdue to my temporary illness. GREAT JOB KOMOREBI AND WAIT STAFF! Read more
