Sushi Mura

This chicago sushi and Japanese food spot near the Music Box theater is a fav place for me...The ambiance is nice, waitstaff is great and the sushi and other items are always fresh and tasty now add to that, really nice price point on everything and what's not to like?Needless to say I've never had a bad meal here and it's easy on the pocketbook when you aren't trying to spend a fortune on sushi.Can't wait to go back.

I really enjoy Sushi Mura, but I don't think I'll be back. I don't think I have ever written a less than 4 star review, but on a slow Saturday lunch meal, our bill came with two extra rolls for that we didn't order. I verbally noticed the bill was abnormally high for a two person party. After paying and having the receipt sent to me via email, I double checked it and noticed two extra rolls.I notified our server by gently walking over to ask about the two xtra rolls added to the bill, and to my dismay, they had already had a new receipt printed with a corrected bill and promptly followed me to my seat, placing the bill on the table, ensuring the corrections were made and walking away. It felt like they weren't expecting me to notice, until I verbally said something about the price being high for a two person party. My friend felt the same. Ultimately, I was assured that we would get a refund and they made the necessary corrections needed to get ~ $25/30 in refund. Nothing has come. I write this review because I believe that this is a deceitful business practice, and I want you to be aware.

Date Night was at Sushi Mura on Southport. I got the Kamikaze roll, Max got the teriyaki salmon and we shared a tuna nigiri and yellowtail nigiri. I tried one edamame because the shape kind of weirds me out. I will say there weren't THAT many gluten free options since there was eel sauce and shrimp tempura incorporated into a lot of the rolls, but I guess you could always ask for substitutions.The kamikaze roll was a little warm, which I actually liked in this case because it had a melt in my mouth feeling. The tuna and yellowtail nigiri were good, but I've had better fish in the city. Itoko down the street for example I would say has fresher fish, at least that's how it tastes. It was bustling Saturday night, and unfortunately understaffed, like many restaurants in the city after Covid. Despite that, the service was really good and our waitress very nice.

Following up on any other reviews I've left here (multiple times in the past) to reaffirm my undying commitment to Sushi Mura as the top sushi restaurant in Chicago. Service is fast and accurate and it's a mainstay of the Southport corridor. Love you SM!

Great food and service! We enjoyed a nice light sushi dinner. Prices are very reasonable. We love the low key local ambiance.

Solid udon soups! The broths are tasty and the tempura is well made. There is both outdoor and indoor seating available - both were clean and well maintained. The beef maki had a nice teriyaki sauce though the beef itself was bland on its own and could have used some seasoning/tenderizing before cooking - wasn't super cohesive as I was chewing but I understand I'm getting picky lol. Staff and servi e was great! Would definitely come again!

Love love love. I don't know how this was my first time here. Decent prices. One of the best spicy tuna rolls I have ever had. Great service. And plenty of seating inside and outside.

Lovely little restaurant with decent sushi and great service at a very nice price point. For $19.00 we had a delicious bento box which came complete with miso soup, rice, cucumber salad, a California roll, 3 pieces of sushi and a choice of entree ( I chose the chicken teriyaki). Husband had the bim bim bop which I thighs was an odd choice at a Japanese restaurant but he enjoyed it. Very substantial meal at a very good value. It's hard to get away with a dinner bill in the 40.00 range in this area so was pleasantly pleased at sushi mura. Was it the best sushi iv had?? Nope but solidly good and I'll return. Recommend.

Personally, this is my favorite sushi place I have tried in Chicago so far. The rolls are flavorful and the sushi tastes fresh. And the service was friendly but not overbearing! The vibe is exactly what I like in a sushi place. A little fancy but not intimidating. I really like this place!

Food is ok, but not the same as when Monica and Hursan owned the restaurant. For those of you that ate at Sushi Mura before they sold, it's not the same feel or quite the same quality. It's good, but not excellent. The ambience is somewhat steril than the intimate warm space it was before. My wife and I frequented the establishment often before Covid in the old building and miss that experience. We'll eat here again, but not with urgency like we used to. We've been gone from Chicago and the hood for a few years and we were feeling a-bit melancholy during this visit after we were told there are new owners.
