What People Are Saying About Shine

In Short – Red and green Asian umbrellas on the ceiling and a dimly lit interior create a cozy atmosphere at this neighborhood fave, where large windows overlook the Armitage Avenue scene. The menu offers traditional Chinese and Japanese cuisine, from crispy crab rangoon and fresh, plump spring rolls to more than 25 varieties of sushi, including melt-in-the-mouth maguro (tuna) and tai (red snapper).
Avoid
by Wang1 at Citysearch
All the waiters and staff were yucking it up while we were there the whole time. All sushi was NOT FRESH- spicy tuna & spicy octo were not spicy, others were sub-par. Rice was overcooked or old, tuna was not the right color. Wangs advise? AVOID!
- Pros: Purple haze drink was good
- Cons: Service, staff, sushi, freshness, value, memorable because BAD.
Shine on Shine

I consider myself some what of a sushi connoisseur and Shine definitely hits the nail on the head for fresh, consistently delicious authentic sushi. Sure...their wait staff isn't Japanese but their sushi chefs are- duh.
Shine is the perfect date spot, girls night out, or place for dinner on a fri or sat night that you don't feel like going to the club/bar because there is always a lively, classy, chic, non pretentious atmosphere there.
The prices are the same as ANY sushi restaurant in Chicago the only difference is that you get ambiance, class, comfort, style and excellent cuisine.
Thanks Shine- I love your outdoor patio, candle lit dinners, delivery, etc.
- Pros: Ambience, sushi, our waitor was cute & funny. Fun for 20 & 30 somethings
staff like headless chickens and horrible food
by chifoodster at Citysearch
Went here on a Tuesday night around 8. The staff seemed like chickens with their heads cut-off. It took them 15 mins before the waiter came to ask us our drink orders. He told us to put are sushi orders in first since that was taking a long time. We ordered a couple of rolls and appetizers. The spider roll was horrible. You could taste the oil and it was old oil. It was horrible. I ate 1 peice and couldn't finish it. Also, ordered the rainbow roll and they used smoked salmon and eel on there...when did a dragon roll come with eel and smoked samlon? Service was horrible and food was horrible. This place was also expensive. $16 for chicken terriyaki and a couple peices of tempura...absurd!
- Pros: location
- Cons: food, service, value
