So, I decided I would take me out on a sushi date after a failed attempt at shopping ha!Anyway, Friends Sushi on Rush was a perfect find, especially since I was on foot!This spot is intimately small, cool music, jazzy... I like. It's a whole vibe!I tried to make up my mind, but the options made it hard! I initially ordered the fire wings, but switched at the last minute to 23rd St... My waitress was kind and helpful! She shared the most popular rolls, which did not include 23rd St., but it should! I do recommend -- and I'm grateful for a review I read online that put it on my radar! Ok, so the 23rd St roll arrives and it's like nothing I've ever seen before... topped with sautéed onion, I wasn't sure what to expect. The first bite was nothing short of amazing! Fabulous flavor and yumminess stunned my senses for a moment, this roll was like nothing I've ever tasted! With additional bites, I tried to pause and taste it all. One thought I had was that a small chunk of tuna should be used vs ground tuna, but overall, still delicious and enjoyable!I also ordered the 'ghost of tequila' drink. It's spicy and pretty tasty, more TAJIN please!! I usually eat the peppers in my drinks, but after casually popping a slice from my drink... OMG, my mouth was on FIRE and I was a little tipsy! The burn was intense, but settled down after several gulps of water! HA! So, then I decided I would order another roll. I went with the friends roll. It's pretty good; has a bit of l sweetness. To round it out some, I bit off a small bit of the jalapeño pepper slice from my drink and while it's intensely hot, it balances the sweetness. If you can tolerate spicy, this is a nice pairing!The rolls are definitely unique and tasty, I would go back to try others on the menu!

So, I was in Chicago craving sushi outside of the loop. So, when I saw this near one of the tea shops I was visiting, I was elated!Food: 4/5Firstly, the sushi is definitely fresh! So, no questions there, I just wish they had more maki options. The sashimi entree came with a bowl of rice and very tasty. If you just want fish, this is the entree for you. The miso wasn't bad either, very simple. For the price, it was a very nice meal.Service:5/5The host and server here are so patient and kind. I was definitely jet lagged from my flight, so I was not the most immediate in the review of the menu. They also were super helpful at telling me what options fit into my dietary restrictions. They also suggested tea, which I made sure to enjoy!!All in all, I would definitely go back. The service here was amazing! The host was kind and the server was even better! I was happily surprised to find such good sushi in Chicago.

Good miso soup taste with tiny friendly tofu cube and some seaweed. Thick slightly dusty crust, light bonito flakes, not too salty broth, a bit of a sour edge on the fried tofu. Had the sashimi plate-Truffle on tuna is fascinating, haven't had that with fish before. The scallop, was perfectly fresh. Fascinating shorter grain rice with a light crunch and sweetness. They done good here

The sushi rolls were good and definitely had a kick. Sashimi was delicious and very fresh. It was my birthday and they gave me a piece of Matcha tiramisu cake which was light and scrumptious. The service was attentive and its a modern clean dining space. Thumbs up worth the visit.

I enjoyed my time at Friends Sushi and would recommend the place. I was traveling on business, and it is very close to the Omni Hotel. Friends was easy to get into for my solo dinner, and it checked all the boxes for food, service, and ambiance. The entrance is a little nondescript, and I had to make sure I was in the right place. Inside, the atmosphere is clean and bright. Service was good and fast. I had two rolls: black shrimp tempura and red spider. Both really good. Fresh and tasty. If you're in the neighborhood, you'll enjoy Friend's Sushi.

OG sushi spot in Chicago downtown before everyone opened. Had the best time eating off of this 1000 pound tuna fresh delivered from Japan Highly recommend the nigiris here. Really beautiful cuts and the crispy dragon roll or soft shell crab rollsService is incredible and ambience is great. Dimly lit, perfect for date nights

An intimate, higher quality sushi restaurant in the heart of chicago. I was craving sushi this day and my meets were met at friends sushi. I got the volcano roll and I am glad that I did. Not only was the presentation beautiful, but the sushi was exceptionally delicious. The restaurant is more fit for 2-5 people as the sections are small. It would be very intimate for a first date! The service was okay, nothing outstanding, but we were seated very shortly which was a plus.

This was a wonderful little fin. I just happen to be walking and saw it. It was packed even though it's small inside. I have the most wonderful scallop appetizer and then the sashimi was delicious. I was looking around at the other tables and everything looked so tempting and they seem to make specialty drinks too. Excellent dinner.
