Sushi Taku’s Logan Square outpost is an all-you-can-eat sushi bar where long checklists of rolls, nigiri, and fried sides make it a go-to for groups. Quality is solid for the format, and the value proposition is strong if you come hungry and order strategically instead of overloading on filler.

What makes it special: An AYCE sushi spot where checklists of rolls and sides favor big, social meals.
Who should go: Hungry groups chasing quantity, variety, and predictable bills.
When to visit: Earlier weekend slots before peak waits and late-night turnover.
What to order: Godzilla roll, jalapeño bombs, and a round of tempura Oreos.
Insider tip: Pace orders in smaller waves; uneaten AYCE items can incur extra charges.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Primarily street parking on nearby residential blocks; availability tight during peak evening hours and along Milwaukee Ave. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Casual — comfortable attire is fine; most guests come in jeans and everyday wear.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during peak dinner rush; conversation is easy at smaller tables but group sections can get lively.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes common during peak hours if you walk in; longer for large groups.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or short waits, depending on group size.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple veggie rolls, appetizers, and sides are included in the AYCE checklist.
Vegan options: Limited — a few vegetable rolls and sides may work, but sauces and tempura batter aren’t always vegan.
Gluten-free options: Partial — some nigiri and basic rolls can be adapted, but soy sauce, tempura, and many sauces contain gluten; confirm with staff before ordering.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual or activity-style dates than intimate ones — the AYCE format is fun and interactive, but the room can be lively and focused on group dining.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes, especially for small parties — expect a wait on weekends and during dinner rush; larger groups should plan ahead or arrive early.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — families are common and the format works well for teens and older kids who like variety; very young children may find the pace and noise challenging during peak hours.
Best For
Better for: Strong value when you arrive hungry and pace AYCE orders — great for variety-focused group meals where predictable pricing matters.
Skip if: You’re seeking premium sushi, omakase-style pacing, or a quiet, chef-driven experience — a traditional sushi bar will be a better fit.
