Jimoto is an absolute gem on the North Shore and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates high-quality sushi done right. I was pleasantly surprised about the selection of fresh sushi and flavors. This place easily earns five stars and then some. I can’t wait to keep coming back.

Wow, I am overjoyed to have found this absolutely beautiful gem. Jimoto is the most striking Japanese restaurant in Winnetka, and I couldn’t be more pleased by the whole dining experience here! The staff are all professional and welcoming. This restaurant sets itself apart on a whole new level. With its captivating LED “jimoto” sign hung boldly against lustrous black zellige wall and beautiful paper lantern lights–this room is instantly trendsetter. The special maki rolls caught my eye as many options are finished with fried garlic or potato crumbs. Definitely a good umami crunch to an otherwise soft and fresh meat–a great balanced pairing. At jimoto, you are promised to have a great time.

I was an early customer at Jimoto and was impressed with their superb quality, I was excited about their food. However, during my recent visit, while the food was good, the portions were noticeably smaller, making it pricier. The nigiri remains excellent but way smaller, and the Godzilla roll had too much cream cheese for my taste, and the hand rolls were not as good as I remembered. On the bright side, the service is great—staff, owner, and bartender are all very nice. One downside was the early cleanup around 9:30 p.m., which was a bit disruptive.
Overall, a good experience.

A hidden gem! Jimoto Sushi delivers unique, flavorful twists on classic rolls. The seaweed salad + cream cheese combo was surprisingly great (8/10), the Hamachi was a standout (9.2/10), and the spicy tuna roll with wasabi aioli might be the best I’ve ever had (9.3/10!). The IPA was also a pleasant surprise—fruity, bold, and smooth (7.6/10). Not every roll was perfect, but overall this spot nails creativity and taste. 8.6/10 overall—highly recommended if you’re in Chicago.

I liked everything but the food. Four out of four things that I ordered were pretty terrible. I’m not kidding every bite was full of regret. It’s a great space. And the service was very good. But the food wasn’t worth eating. I’ve had better sushi at all You can eat places for $20. It is very sad because I’m local and was hoping that it would be a great spot for us to go to. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I’ll never go back.

I am in town for the week and thought I’d try the new sushi place in town. I ordered the godzilla roll. This was mouth wateringly delicious and it had a beautiful presentation, even for takeout. I’ve ordered this type of roll before at other places, but never have I ever tasted such a beautiful balance of flavors!

This is our neighborhood sushi place. We go all the time (2x / month?). Very consistent. If you can get Sarah to help you, she is the best. Hoping they bring the dumplings back. Even without them, though, we keep coming back. Nice Willamette Valley Pinot options by the glass. Recommend.
