Mesaku Sushi

* Dragon roll, shrimp tempura roll, and fire roll are all excellent.* Carry-out that makes food quickly and the service is always very friendly. * Cute interior and ambiance.

Good sushi and while the portions are kind of small, it's very cheap. If that's the only bad thing about it, then this is is still pretty okay. Mesaku is one of the better places to eat in Lincolnwood. Has a pretty okay variety of rolls to choose among. The prices are very good even for basic rolls. Came in at lunch. It's a nicer looking place than expected from the outside. This isn't a place to judge by the looks though. It's about $3 a roll. The rolls are kind of small. Basic looking. The however are a great value. Got the Avocado Roll and the Vegetable Roll. There's a pretty good amount of choices for vegetarians. Avocados were fresh. The other roll was filled with asparagus, avocados, carrots, and cucumbers and was a more filling one for lunch. For sure it's not quite the best place around here to get sushi but it's not that bad. It still has okay flavor and the service is mostly friendly. The rolls are pretty small but these usually have cheap prices.

2nd eating here time and I'm still impressed with the quality of food and service!The business owner is personable, sweet, and genuine. I love that she knew my name during pick up before I even told her, she waited until pick up time to dress the sushi rolls with unagi sauce so the sushi pieces didn't get soggy, and she drew smiley faces on the takeout boxes. The sushi is pretty good too. They are smaller pieces, but each roll comes with 8 instead of 6 pieces. I think it evens out though. The rice is minimal and the ingredients are fresh. The only thing I think is missing is some more vinegar in the rice.Overall, I recommend Mesaku because of the price, the quality of the food for the price, and the customer service.

We came for sushi and we were blown away with the taste and quality of the sushi. 10/10 food, we will be back often!

The BEST sushi in the area. Super fresh. Never fishy. Good portions, not overpriced. The ONLY place I eat the ginger because it's fresh and doesn't taste like lemon pledge. Lovely owners.

I just realized I have yet to write a review for Mesaku. I have been eating here for several years now. This is one of my favorite affordable sushi spots. Similar model to Sushi to Go in Palatine, this is a to go only sushi spot. They do have 1 table, but I have never seen anyone sit at it other than waiting for their to go order. The lady that runs the restaurant is very nice and polite. She will give you a time to expect your food when you call, and then she will text you when the sushi is ready. She typically has the sushi ready before her quoted time. One thing they do really well here where many places fall short is they adequately season the sushi rice. Makes a huge difference on flavor. Fish quality is pretty good, and maki selection taste is good as well. Also a great place to order affordable party trays from. Great place all around!

Best Sushi place on the Northside. It's the best value for your dollar, the owners are extremely friendly, and the quality is always top notch. This is an elite mom and pop shop!

First time trying Mesaku. I'd heard good things about for quite a while I just hadn't had the opportunity. So glad I finally did. I got 3 rolls. My go-to tekka roll, Ebi Crab roll and Shrimp Tempura roll. I would get all 3 again. Everything was fresh and delicious. The prices were very good and my order was ready quickly. They only do take out though and close relatively early (8pm).

Great service and amazing fresh sushi for an unbeatable price. The lady at the cash register is always super sweet and attentive! The fish is fresh and the sushi rice is seasoned just right. We were also impressed with the veggie udon soup which was very flavorful and full of veggies!

The sashimi was very fresh. We got the sashimi party tray.The owner texted when the order was ready, since they had a backlog of orders, which I found really nice! She was very kind.Note this place was a take out only.
