“The food was amazing and the atmosphere was one of a kind.”
“We also shared the "coco duo" for dessert, which was very yummy, though admittedly probably not the best chocolate dessert I've ever had at a nice restaurant (I have high standards when it comes to chocolate!)”
“love the lounge on the 3rd floor for late night drinks and sushi.”
“can't believe this place can actually ask people to pay the ridiculous prices for sushi!”
“Server was attentive and nice but I think she was compensating for the restaurant's shortfalls, such as A) AWFUL SEATS, THE ABSOLUTE WORST, with an unaccommodating host who was a greasy looking dude, looked like he would jump into a stall with Swifty from”
“Lots of space and bar areas and beautiful people.”

HORRIBLE SERVICE. Wow all I can say is that I've been there 3 times & all 3 times had horrible service. Reserved a private table for a birthday party twice & both times were a problem. Tried seating us at the downstairs area where is was jam packed knowing we had rsvp for the private table upstairs. Then we had rsvp for 9:30pm, took an hour after to get our table, not only that but they supposely close at 2am but trying to get us out of there at like 1am because we were the only ones left there. I can go on & on. Also, mixed up our meals. And don't ask them for seperate checks either, no way will they make it convenient for a customer! For such an expensive place, you would expect better service. The place is beautiful, great food, but again horrible service!!!…
Yummy. We go here at least once a month...The sushi is amazing and I love the atmosphere. Weekends are insane, but the vibe is great.
Will go every time I'm in town.
The food here is awesome! I had spicy tuna rolls, and they were the best I've ever had. My sister had california rolls, and those were good too. My brother had cooked crab rolls, and I liked them. It
was the first time I've everl liked crab.
I was very impressed with our waitress. She was quick and smart. I let her know I didn't want sugar in my mojito, so she went through the trouble of mixing Sweet N Low into it for me. Most places let me do that myself.
The atmosphere is great...very trendy. It feels like a club and makes you want to stay there all night. The bathrooms are even nice and trendy.
It was a tiny bit expensive, but it is Chicago...so what do you expect? It is not overly expensive.…
Nice place but.... In a competitive asian-fusion market, Sushi-samba seems like a good idea that isnt really hitting its full stride. The service was excellent and attentive, and the host /doorperson was very informative. But when paying premium prices, service is expected. What isnt expected is the average food. We had 3 different special rolls which were very good, but the brazilian apps were overly salty and average. The place closes early on Sundays and we made the mistake of doing a late dinner here and were rushed through our meal which, to me, is inexcusable. They should not seat you if they arent going to allow you to order certain foods at certain times. Again, premium prices and you have to be held to a very high standard.…
Amazing Deal for Brunch!!!. Sushisamba Rio recently started a deal called Sunday Fundays. They have a Sunday brunch offering which includes one entree and 3 drinks (your choice of a mimosa, bloody mary, or caipirinha) for only $16! I figured when I went on the opening day of this event that even if the food wasn't great, it would SO be worth it. I was pleasantly surprised that the food was fantastic. I have been back 7 times since! I really hope they keep this around...…
