Good Sushi

2nd time around and the food is fantastic. Hard to find location (in a mall) but worth every effort.Super fresh and super good.Those people know their business, it's great sitting at the counter and watch the action.

Good Sushi is a hidden gem, located in the City Park at Lincolnshire. Their menu offers various starters, soups, salads, entrees, nigiri, sashimi, makimono, handrolls, and omakases.We made advance reservations for a counter seating for an earlier dinner - we were seated promptly, and we were just super excited to begin!We ordered:+Hamachi nigiri+Chu Toro nigiri - nice and fatty+Wagyu nigiri - delicious, with a slight sear from the blow torch+Saba nigiri - this was way too fishy in odor and taste for me; wasn't a fan, and highly recommend in not ordering this+Ama Ebi nigiri - the shrimp was pleasantly sweet; note that the head of the ebi will be deep-fried and will come out for you to enjoyIn addition, we also had:+a Spicy Scallop handroll+a Spicy Tuna makimono - super spicy; note that when something is described as 'spicy', Chef Jino does not play around!Overall, the cuts of the fish was very generous and the rice was prepared well.One of our orders were mistakenly forgotten, but we were able to receive it towards the end.We ended our dinner with a teacup sundae, which was super cute and just a nice sweet way to finish the meal.Service was very friendly and attentive, and the place itself is clean and calming with the light wooden decor. There is also upstairs seating, so probably best for larger parties or a private gathering.I highly recommend in procuring a seating at the sushi counter, so you can watch Chef Jino.Definitely would love to return to continue enjoying their nigiris!Ample parking in the large plaza lot.+generous nigiris+request the sushi counter seating+located at the City Park at Lincolnshire+ample parking available

Had heard good things about this place so decided to give it a try as it was close to the hotel we were staying at. And I am glad we did as it was a hit with the whole family. We had a reservation but got there a little early and were able to get seated. It was very empty but we also went at 6 on a Monday. They sat us upstairs which was nice. There were only two tables up there and since there was no one around, it was like a private dining space. We started off with some edamame and the beef and asparagus roll. The asparagus and beef was really tasty with the teriyaki sauce that he makes in house and marinates for 24 hours. It was a very unique and tasty concoction. We ordered a bunch or rolls and the chefs nigiri plate. We wanted the bulgogi but that was the one day they didn't have it so we didn't get to try it. The rolls were all very good. The shrimp tempura hand roll we like so much that we ordered more. Very unique and a great blend of tastes and texture with the crispy tempura, the creamy avocado and the sauces with the rice complimented each other perfectly. The crab and cucumber rolls were such a hit with the little ones that they had one more each. The Cabo was another favorite, we got that as makimono which is your more common sushi roll. It was very well balanced and delicious.The nigiri selection was also very good. Very fresh and the mix of seafood was excellent. Our standout favorites were the eel, the tuna, red snapper and the salmon. The rice was super fresh, to the point that we were asked to use our hands to eat instead of chopsticks. The eel was super fresh. So was the other seafood and we are glad we got to try a variety of things.This was a great dinner and we were very happy that we checked it out. Who would have thought we would get some of the very best sushi we have had in Lincolnshire, IL. If I am back in the area, we will definitely be stopping by here.

This has to be one of the best Sushi Restaurants I've been to in the Chicago area. Their selection isn't huge like you find in some, but everything is top notch in quality, freshness, and taste. I expected more of a traditional looking Japanese restaurant but they are very modern and spare in their design. It is actually quite nice.We were greeted immediately. The service was truly outstanding. The waiter was extremely attentive; he took time to explain everything on the menu - and the choice was very difficult to make. We ordered a couple of drinks and their asparagus beef roll. They were out of asparagus so substituted Chinese broccoli, which worked very well in the dish. For our meal, we had tuna, salmon, and rainbow maki rolls, and two pieces of red snapper Negeri. The portions are very generous. The pieces of snapper were very large compared to other places I've had negeri. I can't pick out any one dish I preferred over any others - they were all delicious and beautifully presented.It was nice sitting at the sushi counter. We arrived early - around 6 PM, and the seats immediately in front of the chef were open. He was kind, and answered several questions we had. The show was marvelous.I highly recommend Good Sushi in Lincolnshire. Even if you have to go miles out of your way, it is that good.Thanks to the staff for a great time and a terrific meal.

The food here is amazing. The fish incredibly fresh. The sushi rice also seems fresh made. The nigiri is like the one other genuine sushi restaurants we've been too. The fish covers the rice so you only see fish. Large pieces of fresh fish so hence only one per order. We had the mackerel, amberjack, and the fluke. The Maki is also incredible. We had the baby shrimp maki and the shrimp tempura maki. The best we've had. They make it in front of you if you sit at the counter. I wish they had unagi. But they didn't. They have an extensive bar with spirits, sake and wine.The service is attentive right from the get go. The place has been there almost a year. I wish the place had more guests. It deserves more guests.

Ok. Where do I start?Sushi fanatic here and my biggest complaint about Chicago has been the lack of real sushi options. Lived in LA where my go-to's were Sasabune and Nozawa and in New York where I loved Yoshino. So real deal Holyfield type fish.Imagine my surprise when I found this hidden gem in Lincolnshire. Yes, there are some hidden suburban trappings (slightly loud music, strip mall location) but THIS is the best, freshest nigiri in all of Chicago.We had the chutoro, Ikura (salmon roe), fluke, yellowtail, uni (fresher than fresh that night), and a few other items. All were very good but the nigiri really stole the night. As well, served with fresh wasabi, not horseradish.Total tab was ~$260 for two of us (two bottles of sake as well - Nigori and Junmai). If you compare that to a typical suburban sushi restaurant, that may seem pricey but compared to the other restaurants I mentioned (and Good Sushi's nigiri stands toe to toe), it's a bargain. We will be back, likely weekly. It's in our rotation and if you're into real sushi, I couldn't recommend anymore. Go. Just go. Sit at the bar, order a kirin. Order a junmai and let the itamae do his thing. You won't be sorry.

Fantastic sushi spot in the midst of Lincolnshire. Super welcoming and knowledgeable maître'd with a clean, open, inviting design to the restaurant.It's somewhat unassuming from the exterior and with the name, but that is an East Asian tradition, IME, to not be too boisterous with signage etc. Food and service are all tops. I was fortunate enough to dine here a few times during a business trip, and every experience was stellar. Some signs of excellent sushi and cuisine:- Perfect rice, slightly vinegared, slightly above room temperature, fluffy yet sticky and compact, served fresh and packed perfectly for the nigiri and rice dishes such as donburi- Homemade tamagotchi! Absolutely delicious- Fresh selection of fish serving whatever is in season or looks best at the market- Not pre-sliced, the chef fillets and preps the fish himself and will slice each piece fresh for the nigiri and sashimi coursesI had the nigiri omakase a few times, and it was stellar. Love having the individual bites come out and served with fresh wasabi. The chef does not pre-sauce the fish, so you can elect to add the appropriate amount of soy sauce to your desire. There are some maki options and hand rolls but they're not really my thing. The chef is Korean and is very serious about his sushi; the hand rolls are Korean style.Some of my favorite items, too, were the cooked fish. They had a hamachi Kama prepared for me that was so delightful and delicious. So many different flavors and textures and perfect crisp on the exterior and warm and juicy interior. I loved that it was served with a ponzu sauce that included intermixed grated daikon radish. It's that type of attention to detail that takes this restaurant up to five stars.Great beer wine and sake service as well as Japanese whiskeys. There is a diverse clientele with some serious sushi eaters, which is a more than auspicious sign.Strong recommend.One quick point - not a meal to go in desirous of a rush, this is more of a leisurely paced experience with the flair and creativity of the chef at the center. It's one itamae, so it'll take a bit of time although once the courses come the pace is stellar.

I couldn't believe one could find good sushi (pun intended) in this area. Very good quality. I would say it may even be better than some of the sushi places in the city. Apparently they don't stock up for Saturday coz they close on Sunday (good sign for good sushi restaurant) so they ran out of a few items. So I take note to go there earlier next time :) Service is a bit rough but hopefully it would get better.

We were excited to try this place due to the reviews but we then were very highly disappointed.First this is not a kids friendly so if you have babies or kids, don't take them here. I came here with my husband, infant and toddler. Let's start with food. Here is what we ordered:Sashimi Carpaccio- 4/5 probably the only dish that was good. Kaarage- 2/5 too salty. The pieces were tiny and not much meat.Agedashi tofu-2/5 too hard on the outside. It came in a big watery sauce that made the tofu too soggy and weird.Bulgogi- 1/5 the worst dish I have trued. Beef was too chewy and bland. The clear noodles were too hard and weren't cooked thoroughlySushi Hokkaido and negi toro-- 3/5 Service 1/5- Service was super slow. Our dishes came out one at a time and took forever. My husband were watching me eat my main dish while his came out last. Not sure if it was because we had kids or were in sweats and look poor but we felt were treated differently. They didn't offer us the warm hand towel like the other customers. Our waiter kept checking in with the table next to us but he barely checked in with us. My husband ordered hot sake but he forgot. After waiting for a long time, we had to ask another person about it. If reminding them, the he took awhile to bring it to us.Overall, we would probably never coming back here. The food isn't that great but very expensive. I honestly can make the bulgogi 10 x better. The service is also terrible. Stay away

Really great Sushi! Fresh fish, creative dishes and excellent service. Will definitely be back!
