The brains behind Sushi Wabi bring yet another fine sushi restaurant to the Chicagoland area. Tank brings the best of the downtown sushi experience, freshly-prepared fish, to Lincoln Square, without paying downtown prices. The restaurant is contemporary, accessible and ideal for locals who want the freshest fish in town. Tempting maki rolls lure sushi connoisseurs, but non-sushi eaters will find plenty of appealing dishes on the small plate menu, such as gyu-negima or seared sea scallops with a cucumber cilantro salad. Non-sushi eaters also have traditional big plates like chicken or salmon teriyaki. Makis are inventive. Try the "Latin Heat" with jalapeno and cilantro or the Ocean Sundae-everyone's favorite. This maki combines tempura shrimp, avocado, cream cheese and tobiko chili sauce, creating a culinary experience like no other.

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

The Scene
Young, trendy locals gather at this buzzing storefront restaurant, whose blond-wood floors and brushed-aluminum chairs combine with ambient club music to set a stylish, minimalist scene. Banquettes stretch the length of the 75-seat space, facing two side-by-side bars--one for sushi, the other for cocktails. Fast, friendly servers work in tandem to keep things moving quickly.

The Food
Tank's expansive menu offers a full slate of sushi, plus small plates of delectable fusion fare like firecracker shrimp wrapped in crispy wontons and meaty barbecue pork ribs with five-spice honey-tamarind glaze. Seviche with shrimp, calamari and scallops is a refreshing starter, though sushi lovers will want to go straight to generous maki rolls like the Ocean Sundae (shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese and tempura crumbs) or the zippy Latin Heat (smoked salmon, tuna, jalapeno and cilantro). For dessert, try traditional mochi ice cream, or savor the rich coconut creme brulee.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

My fiance and I ate the half price happy hour sushi for a late lunch/ early dinner yesterday, and a few hours after getting home we both started having lower abdominal pains, nausea, and frequent trips to the bathroom. I was up until 4 a.m. sick, and we have both been sick all day today. I have eaten sushi weekly for the past 10 yrs, and have never gotten sick from it. It makes me wonder if they clear out old fish during happy hour.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Recommended by the hotel concierge on my last visit to Chicago and it was perfect. I had to entertain a few clients, so we decided sushi. In New York there are plenty of sushi places but I haven't enjoyed any as much as Tank Sushi. The hostess was very accommodating and the food was delicious and artful. The semi private rooms were perfect for my meeting and I would go back every time I'm in town.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Not in City Center
