sushi scam

by proncs at Citysearch

SUSHI SCAM!!! no prices on the menu. service is awful!! and very very slow!! its as if the workers their do not care to provide the customers with even the basics. chop sticks soy sauce.. are you kidding me should never have to ask for these things after the sushi has hit the table. oh and the half price rolls is only on sunday and monday now, but i would not waste your time the prices even at half price are only a dollar off normal prices at other places like coast which is far and way better hands down go to Coast!!! sushi x is dark you cant see the food the sushi bar is hidden... as long as it takes to get the rolls at sushi x i could swear i saw them bring jewel bags full of sushi and reselling it. i thought their sushi tasted like i had it before. save your self the trouble and price and cut out the middle man go straight to jewel

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: poor fish, service, price

The best rolls in the city

by Love4Yoga at Citysearch

Big rolls packed in a small venue - this place has a creative way of looking a sushi. Their combination of flavors have a way of satisfying a craving that you never knew you had. Try the pollo loco, godzilla, spicy tako and honey roll - all comfort food with awesome taste. You'll have to come back a few times to try all your new favorites. If you're not in the mood for sushi try the potroast served with wasabi mashed potatoes - its the best!

• Pros: Spicy tako like no where else
• Cons: Sushimi only at Lincoln Park location

Best Sushi in town

by teodoro1980 at Citysearch

Great Price, extremely cool staff. Wait is not long. The Godzilla roll is addictive. This place was my first ever sushi experience and since then has not been the only one. I eat sushi in every city and every country I visit. This is by far the best!! thanks for introducing me to sushi!!!

Someone has been stuffing the Sushi X ballot box!

by phatfoodrater at Citysearch

Obviously the people who own sushi X are giving their employees incentives to post great reviews. I am born and raised in Chicago and hands' down this place does not belong in the top ten or twenty for that matter. Their sushi is not terrible and the price is fine, but if you are an intermidate to advanced sushi eater don't waste your time. The rolls are rolled without care and almost seem like they are pre-rolled earlier that night. I ordered the spicy tuna roll from here on three diferent occasions and every time it was ovesaturated with mayonaise and the ends of the roll were hardly worth eating. If all you eat is tuna, salmon and california roll this place falls just below the average line. From a true chicago sushi lover based on quality only on recommend Meiji, Sushi Wabi or Starfish. btw, my food tastes are much more advanced then my spelling :-)

• Pros: price
• Cons: quality

A hidden sushi jewel

by bleucandy at Citysearch

On the outside, Sushi X looks like it's a club. Long waits, dark interior, sometimes blaring music....But this place has the best sushi! I've been hearing about this place for a while from a friend of mine saying the decor is a little off the norm but the sushi is fabulous.

I recommend the Honey Roll and the Red Dragon. The pieces just melt in your mouth in a huge burst of flavor. I even liked their non sushi entrees like the Creamy Ginger Salad. AND best of all, it's BYOB.

If you love sushi...this is definitely a place you should try out.

Be prepared though, since it's gaining popularity, waiting for a table can take more than an hour.

• Pros: Great quality food, BYOB, great atmosphere, friendly staff
• Cons: Long wait for a table, parking can be difficult, not ideal for large groups

Great take out- very yummy

by kwakey at Citysearch

I am not a big fan of take out sushi but this place rocks. Try the spicy tuna- if you like spicy it will knock your sox off!

Dinner and a Show....

by cjkirkland at Citysearch

We went to this place, off the reviews from Citysearch. It was a bit scary walking up to it. But it ended up being a great night. The atmosphere was excellent, very friendly service, and the sushi was served promptly. The waiter recommended a few rolls and told us when to stop. Very large portions. Oh and there was a drunk women who took her shirt off! Dinner and a show! I definately recommend this place, no garuntee you will get the same show we got.

Great sushi

by hueling at Citysearch

Sushi is one of the only thing's I'll eat because I'm picky...last time I was in town, my brother picked up some sushi, and it was from Sushi X....I dream about sushi from Sushi X all the way from California....trust me, I've been dying to bring my boyfriend and show him what all my bragging is about. If you do go, get the godzilla and double stack rolls...yum...

• Pros: Great sushi
