What People Are Saying About Tank Sushi

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…

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…

Great food, but crowded
by DrinksCoffee
Try the lobster roll or the spider roll. My favorite! They make the miso soup from scratch and its really good too. I always eat my sushi with tempura. The only problem with Tank Sushi is that it's so hip its hard to get seated on Friday or Saturday with out reservations. I walked in once and waited 45 minutes. The price is reasonable.
- Pros: Amazing menu
- Cons: Hard to get seated on Saturday night

I love this place
by ccrain
If you want to go to a layed back, trendy sushi restuarant this is the place for you. Although the atmosphere is enjoyable i find this place is a better lunch spot than dinner. They have half price sushi too which is amazing if you are on a budget. I totally recommend this place!
- Pros: Half Price Sushi

Great Sushi!
by tmbrooks
I just had lunch at Tank Sushi! I thought that it was really really good; probably the best sushi in Chicago. I liked it better than the pretty popular Sushi RA. The Ocean Sundae was beautifully presented, and it tasted amazing. I also had the Escolar (super white tuna), and that was terrific.
Also, I did not have to wait long so that was a plus too. I will be going back soon!
- Pros: Really good
- Cons: None

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.
