"Wow, this place is a vibe. As a person who is obsessed with Ramen - they did it right! & Halal!!
Got to meet the owners Jessie & Sam - Mexican/Lebanese couple who serve Halal Chicken and Beef options for their menu! So kind & welcoming!
From the start warm welcome, cozy seating, and their menu was amazing! We got the wonton apps - creamy filled with lobster, Japanese Chicken, a Tokio sushi dish and lastly, Halal Beef Udon and Halal Kata Miso Ramen! So satisfying! Go get you some! Don’t forget the Mocktails, syrups made in house fam! And Prices are pretty average."

"Best margaritas in Chicago! The food was amazing and the service was excellent. This restaurant has such a interesting twist to it than any other sushi restaurant I been to. They incorporate such a great blend of Latin and Japanese cuisine. The owners were So friendly and very welcoming. Definitely coming back especially for their Tajín rims 😁"

"My kids and I visited yesterday and was met with the most amazing customer service from beginning to end. There was a lady which seemed to be the manager took our order and explained everything in detail. She even gave us some suggestions. The passion fruit margarita was really delicious and fresh. My son had the Chicago Blackhawk roll which was suggested. This was very unique as it had bacon in it. Never had that in sushi and it was delicious. Ramen was good, etc. I will definitely return."

Looking for sushi in Chicago... - The Heartland: Dining
Tsuki - Located towards the SW end of Lincoln Park (just east of Sweets and Savories on Fullerton). This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the city. I've done the omakase a couple of times, but all you really get is a bunch of dishes from the menu, plus the chef's selection of sushi/sashimi.

Here at Tsuki, it's three saké cups filled with steamed egg and scallop custard-one topped with tiny mushrooms and salmon roe, one with shrimp, and one with crab.
