Raisu

My friends and I had the Omakase at Raisu, and it was fresh and delicious!It was 15 dishes for $120.We also ordered lobster tempura and chicken Karaage, which weren't my favorite. I thought the tempura lobster was unique, but there wasn't much flavor or lobster meat. For the chicken Karaage, it wasn't prepared in a way I preferred. It tasted okay, but the portion was on the smaller side, and the chicken was like bite-size tender pieces. I felt like it was missing a fullness in each bite.As for the service, the staff were efficient and very friendly. I appreciated how descriptive they were with the sushi!Overall, I would definitely come back and order more nigiri and try other dishes!

OMG, if you're looking for one of Chicago's best, Omakase experiences would highly recommend Raisu by Simon Liew ! Not only is this Omakase, one of the better priced ones in the city, its variety is amazing from the starting soups, the nigiri, handrolls and mochi dessert . For those that are looking for the special gems not in the standard Loop area, venture out to the north side . Service is amazing and top notch and the such a cool vibe to eat with friends and dates. #sushi #omakase

We came by Raisu after hearing about it on TikTok. This was a fantastic find and we felt very impressed with the experience. Interior is nicely decorated and spacious. We didn't have to make a reservation on a weekday but the restaurant was fairly busy. They do take reservations online. There is no parking lot but there is street parking and public transit. They have a great menu especially the set meals which are well priced for the portions. We got the two nigiri sets as well as a few rolls. Their menu offers are more unique and definitely not run of the mill rolls, with some creative combinations. The nigiri sets came with a big variety of meats including multiple grades of tuna and salmon. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. There is a sake bar as well and they sell entire bottles at a pretty reasonable price. Service was a bit scattered but overall adequate. Definitely some of the best sushi I've had in Chicago. Raisu is a great find and I'm looking forward to coming back.

The restaurant markets itself as "fine dining," but as far as fine dining sushi goes, it is not. There are way better sushi restaurants that don't even try to make that claim. And, because they see themselves as fine dining, they jack up their prices. They are way overpriced! If you truly want some fine dining sushi, try Kai Zan!

Highly recommend this restaurant! Amazing and fresh food, especially the avocado. The service was great; the waitress made sure we had everything we needed and brought out our sushi quickly. And the decor was so beautiful.

Best tasting Sushi in Chicago !If you care more about the fish than the scene - this is your spot

Fantastic local spot for fresh creative sushi with exceptional service and a quaint atmosphere.

First time here. Unreal fish quality. Meticulous presentation. Definitely will be coming back.

Ingredients are so high quality and the food was amazing. Everything was melt in your mouth good from the chicken to the tempura to the nigiri. Highly highly recommend.

Incredible sushi - highly recommend. The fish is super fresh and the tempura is to DIE for.
