Good Deal. The sushi is cheap, and you can taste it. But if you are looking for a 'quick fix', this is the place to go. The menu is priced very, extreamly, reasonably and it is a full menu. They do have delivery and take-out. However, the sushi does taste very fishy and has a distinct smell. If your looking for a cheap date, this is the place to go.

Declining quality. My boyfriend and I have been ordering take-out from Ringo approximately 2-3 times a week for the past 8-9 months. Initially we were very happy with the quality and variety of the sushi. Unfortunately, it has sharply declined over the past 2 months. We typically ordered rolls with tuna and rolls with avocado, and both have been off. The tuna has smelled very "fishy" and has had a chewy consistency and the avocado has either been under-ripe and hard or overly ripe and brown. We originally thought that maybe we had just caught them on an off-night, however, the quality has been consistently poor. We will no longer order from Ringo and would not recommend it to anybody who enjoys fresh, high-quality fish.

Fresh sushi, fantastic service, great value. I just moved here from Los Angeles and was struggling to find a decent sushi place until I found Ringos. I probably go to Ringo's a couple of time each month. The staff is super friendly and the ambience is decent. But the sushi is the star - it's fantastic. The Firecracker Roll is different and always good. I've brought many friends here and everyone has always had great things to say.

Not Just Your Favorite Beatle. Ringo is amazing, from the large sushi pieces to the knowledgable servers to the great BYOB policy (No Corking Fees!). I was lucky to live around the corner for a year & now I try to go back at least once a month. Truly, "The best, Jerry, the best!"

Moderately priced Japanese fare in a comfortable Lincoln Avenue setting.. In Short
A quiet, clean storefront on an otherwise rowdy stretch of Lincoln Avenue, Ringo's cheery ochre walls are hung with good-luck kites, and oval paper lamps hang from the ceiling, setting an attractive, uncomplicated scene for the food. The menu offers eye-catching presentations of traditional plates like lightly battered shrimp tempura, spicy-sweet seaweed salad, and a variety of maki and nigiri.

BEST CHICAGO SUSHI. By far the best place for sushi! I have tried most of the sushi places in chicago and Ringo is by far the best. Since I have gone there for the first time, I have not been to another place since.

Highly recommend the firecracker roll. It is like no other!

depaul kids love ringo. its so close to campus that i can't say i've tried many other chicago sushi places, but a few friends and i are regulars at ringo sushi...we're often there twice a week or so. The sushi is probably not the absolute best in the world, but its certainly much better than most and no too expensive. It's got a great casual atmosphere that is condusive to bringing home to work on while you and you're buddies munch...great place, i highly reccomend it.
