4 hand-picked restaurants, critic-reviewed and ranked

Last Updated: January 2026

Our Top Pick
Tanoshii Sushi (Andersonville)
BYOB sushi-bar energy with chef-led pacing and signature starter bites.

Notable Picks

$$$ Andersonville
A Clark Street sushi bar where the menu leans roll-forward but still rewards a nigiri-first approach. For a date, the move is to share one signature roll, add a fish-focused plate, and keep the pacing clean instead of stacking too many heavy specials.
Must-Try Dishes: Sushi Mike’s “Fish & Chips” (spicy tuna salsa chip), Chef’s choice omakase / tasting progression, Tuna truffle-style specials (ask what’s on)
What makes it special: BYOB sushi-bar energy with chef-led pacing and signature starter bites.
$$ Ravenswood
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

$$ Uptown
A rotary sushi setup that turns date night into a low-pressure, pick-what-looks-good run—especially if you mix conveyor bites with a couple of kitchen orders. The best play is to keep it nigiri-forward, then add one cooked item to reset your palate.
Must-Try Dishes: Salmon nigiri, Spicy tuna roll, Seared salmon belly (when available)
What makes it special: Conveyor-belt format that makes variety-driven sushi nights easy.
$ Uptown
A casual Clark Street sushi stop that works best as a budget date-night takeout play—lean on a couple of specialty rolls and one salad or dumpling side. Keep the order tight and roll-focused, and it lands as an easy, satisfying night-in meal.
Must-Try Dishes: Godzilla roll, Miami roll, Seaweed salad
What makes it special: Budget-friendly rolls that make sushi nights easy and casual.
