Place is a hidden gem! I ordered the Black Widow and Spider Roll for takeout and was blown away. both were incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. The portions were generous and the quality was top-notch. Their sushi of the month deal is amazing!Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great sushi spot

Ever since I was a 20-something, I was curious about Sushi X. It looked way cool from the mural outside, so I was actually kind of intimidated! I finally started going a year ago or so and I absolutely love it. It is so rare to be treated like family at any restaurant, but that’s definitely part of the service here. It is friendly but courteous, attentive, welcoming, completely unpretentious, and inclusive. The vibe is very good. The food is also very good! There are vegetarian options for the vegetarians, but look, I cam here to tell you about the ASIAN POT ROAST that I had last night. OMG. I don’t think it’s on the menu all the time — I’d never noticed it before — and y’all need to have that right NOW. The glaze on the roast, the wasabi mashed potatoes, are you kidding me?? I think I have a different favorite roll every time I go there; right now it’s the Five-O.

Went in around 5pm, the staff was very chipper and got us seated. They checked in pretty consistently and refilled our water at a good pace.
There was a good variety of sushi rolls- since I don’t eat sushi with uncooked fish, that was real nice to find out!
The music was a fun collection of covers of modern & 2010s pop, with some 80s covers sprinkled in. The place was decorated with anime-themed memorabilia, though not too much.
Small repairs were being done in the bathroom, but it was still usable. I hope this place gets more love!

This place never disappoints. My boo and I have been coming here for over 12 years, and it remains a favorite. Freshest, delicious sushi, wonderful service and cool atmosphere.

Disclaimer: I am not a fan of sushi. I was told the sushi was delicious, but this review mainly covers atmosphere, service, and options for the sushi-averse who find themselves at a sushi joint because their friends and family love sushi. I went with a party of four, two teens and two adults, on a Friday around 8:00 p.m. We walked, but there is paid street parking in the immediate area outside the restaurant. It’s across from a fire station and near a bridge over the expressway, so you may have to venture down a side street to park. Once inside, you immediately feel how intimate the setting is. There are about 10-12 small tables in a pretty small space, so be prepared to get close. We were greeted and seated right away by the server, who was really nice and calm even though he was the only server. He was also pretty knowledgeable about the menu items. We had to wait a bit to order, but that was fine because it gave us time to peruse the menu (have your phone ready to scan the QR code for the menu), check out the interesting decor (all black walls with interesting fusion artwork, and a large screen with a relaxing water and terrain landscape video on a loop), and discover the music playing (super-chill, loungy-vibe covers of popular songs). The sushi menu was compact and simple to order. Unlike some sushi spots that have entrees and side items to satisfy the non-sushi-eating tag-alongs, the menu is not inclusive, which was expected. Here’s exactly what you’ll have if you don’t eat sushi: panko-crusted chicken breast strips with BBQ-ish red sauce, edamame, and a small bowl of rice, all of which were simply ok. We didn’t have dessert, but there is mochi, lemoncello cake, and a chocolate peanut butter cup cake. Overall, this is a chill spot with no frills. Cool if you’re just looking for a quiet spot to get a quick sushi fix.

I live around the corner from this sushi spot and never knew it was here. Lol. I’m not sure that I was fully convinced by the flavors, but it was good enough for me to give it another try. I really liked the interiors—the perfect amount of lighting and music choice. My only comment for improvement would be not to play sports on the projection wall. It kinda kills the vibe of the place, particularly because the aesthetics of the restaurant seem to be completely different from a sports restaurant. From my view, the idea of this place is to create a Japanese urban feel. It would be cool to see this portrayed on the projection screen. I know Japan has some cool urban history.

Edit- went here for the second time and I had the red chicken. It was delicious, they were also playing some cool music. My rating has gone up to 5 stars.

Food is the segue to our shared humanity as it is the one thing that binds us together on our human journey. This place is a hidden gem, across the Fire Department, don’t miss it. The ambiance inside pulls you in, wish I could have grabbed a squat.
I had a conversation with “V” and the passion that he has for the human experience, engaging with customer is without rival. I got the Tempura rolls and a Asparagus Roll which were some of the best that I ever had and I’ve had the privilege of bouncing around the Earth on a culinary scale. This is my new go-to whenever I’m in Chicago. Sushi X hits the spot!

Sushi X is a great spot. Service is always great. We Love their food. I would recommend all the rolls except the fresh crab roll, taste too fishy. The Godzilla is excellent.

Skimpflation is real with this place. The food was solid but there was little to no protein on the rolls. Given the rolls were half the size compared to other spots.
It made sense how they were able to fit so many rolls into one tray.

Absolutely loved it! Ordered the shrimp tempura roll (super crispy and delicious), spicy tuna roll and rainbow roll for dine in. Wicked fast service, incredibly friendly staff that made us feel like family, tasty food, and reasonably priced! Constant revolving door of people picking up take out so you know it’s a neighborhood favorite! We just moved to the area and one of the staff members heard and surprised us with a mochi dessert at the end of our meal. Totally unexpected but so kind – really speaks to the quality of service and heart going into this restaurant. We’ll definitely be back!
