Since Coast Sushi Bar opened in March of 2003 in it's hip neighborhood location, regulars and newcomers alike have enjoyed top quality sushi in a relaxed but lively, BYOB atmosphere.

Through years of experience, they have mastered the pairing of simple but complex flavors to create some of the most tasteful and innovative New-Japanese cuisine, using only the freshest ingredients and top quality fish from around the world. Coast offers something for everyone.

The unique experience of dining at Coast is enhanced by the handcrafted furniture and tableware. With minimal decor and a dimly lit dining room, Coast presents the guest with an atmosphere for romance or just dining out with friends.

Editorial Review for Coast Sushi – by J.P. Anderson

The Scene
Bare walls, painted concrete floor and woven leather chairs gives this room a sexy, minimalist vibe, with a scattering of well-spaced tables along a bright, busy sushi bar. There are a lot of couples here, and you can see why--low, low lighting offers plenty of intimacy, and Coast's BYOB policy is a big score for dates wanting to split a bottle.

The Food
Steaming-hot edamame and batter-kissed shrimp tempura are satisfying starts, but just a prelude to stunning signature maki, with flavors rarely seen in local sushi restaurants. Zesty with lime and cilantro, seviche maki is scallop, shrimp and octopus in a roll with star fruit, shallot and sweet mango. Mango makes another cameo in Sun Rise maki, with mint leaves to add delectable sweetness to plump chunks of wasabi-ginger-soy seared tuna. There are fresh a la carte selections, plus teriyaki dishes and salads for those not into the raw stuff.

I thought the sashimi was excellent. large fresh pieces. The guy who took the order was very nice and so was the delivery guy. So, I can't comment on the restaurant it self. I have never been. The sashimi on the other hand. I would definitely recommend it.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have been to several sushi places in Chicago and Coast is by far the best-- not to mention that it is BYOB! The food is fresh and innovative-- but there are also basic rolls and sashimi for sushi purists.The seseme scallop appetizer is unreal. Great scene too. It can get loud and there is usually a wait, but nothing out of the ordinary for a good restaurant on a weekend night. Overall, fabulous restaurant!

Pros: food, atmosphere, location, BYOB!

Cons: service is nothing special
