Coming from California, in my opinion it's really hard to find a great sushi spot in Chicago. But after living in the city for over 3 years, no sushi compares to Kizami!! The rolls, the chicken katsu, gyoza, etc. are ALL delicious. You cannot go wrong here. The service is always great and it has really cute and cozy vibes.

Nice place for Sushi and drinks. We were at a bar next door and stopped in for food, glad we did. The food was good, service was quick and she was really kind and patience explaining menu items. If you mention them on IG, you get a free edamame! :)

Kizami sushi was delicious and a blast. They were so helpful and helping us surprise a friend with dessert and candles for her birthday. They had the best california roll - definitely get real crab! If you've never tried eel before, you need to! The Chicago roll was delicious!

Always wanted to try this place out and I finally did. This is not a huge restaurant so it maybe best to reserve ahead of time if possible or come early. The service was alright, our waitress was nice and came around when needed. The food was good. You can't go wrong with sushi! The drinks on the other hand were decent. The expresso martini could be better, but I'm not complaining. They had some interesting fruit cocktails as well. With the dim lights and good vibes around, everyone was enjoying their meal. Would come back again if I'm in the area!

Solid sushi spot in Lincoln Park. I've been here twice - once on a Monday evening and once on a Sunday late afternoon. The Monday evening was really busy and we had a short wait for a table. Sunday was more recent and we got there soon after they opened and were the only ones at first (it got busier later) They have HH on food and drinks from 4-6pm. I got a roll, nigiri, edamame, and a beer. With tip, it was just over $30, which isn't bad. My friends had a variety of drinks and food and all enjoyed it. Service was friendly and prompt. It's not a huge spot so I can imagine there's a wait at peak times. Will def be back!

Solid Sushi spot located in Lincoln Park. Every time I come here, the service has been friendly and quick. I do like their interior a lot. There's not much to it honestly, but the darker vibes with the string lights just makes it a perfect date spot in my opinion. They have candles at the tables and if you're able to snag a table by the window, it really is perfect to take someone here on a date. All of their sushi is pretty good overall from what I've had so far. I'd say my two biggest pros about this place is that they are open late. No seriously, they are open much later than a lot of Sushi places around. Chicago notoriously closes a lot of restaurants early which is extremely annoying being a major urban metropolis, but this place is the opposite. Craving Sushi at 11pm? COME here. The pro is that they are technically a BYOB establishment. They DO however serve alcohol, but if you have your own beer, you can bring it, just expect to pay a $1 fee per bottle/can you bring in. I think there is a corkage fee for wine as well, but not sure how much. Either way, that is an awesome perk. I'll definitely return back here if I find myself craving sushi pretty late. There's also a lot of bars in the area so it's a good place to walk around if you're in the mood for drinks elsewhere as well.
