Our Top Pick
Tanoshii Sushi (Andersonville)
BYOB sushi-bar energy with chef-led pacing and signature starter bites.
Notable Picks
A Clark Street sushi bar where the menu leans roll-forward but still rewards a nigiri-first approach. For a date, the move is to share one signature roll, add a fish-focused plate, and keep the pacing clean instead of stacking too many heavy specials.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sushi Mike’s “Fish & Chips” (spicy tuna salsa chip), Chef’s choice omakase / tasting progression, Tuna truffle-style specials (ask what’s on)
What makes it special: BYOB sushi-bar energy with chef-led pacing and signature starter bites.
8.2
A Ravenswood neighborhood spot that mixes sushi-bar staples with Thai-leaning plates, so a date can split rolls and still pivot to something warm and shareable. Best results come from pairing one signature roll with one noodle or soup, keeping the table balanced.
Must-Try Dishes:
Kani salad, Chef-style specialty rolls (choose 1–2, not five), Sashimi/nigiri sampler
What makes it special: BYOB neighborhood sushi with strong value when you order thoughtfully.
Worthy Picks
7.8

Salmon nigiri, Spicy tuna roll, Seared salmon belly (when available)
What makes it special: Conveyor-belt format that makes variety-driven sushi nights easy.

Godzilla roll, Miami roll, Seaweed salad
What makes it special: Budget-friendly rolls that make sushi nights easy and casual.
