Sushi Taku

We visited for dinner for AYCE sushi and what everyone says is true - get here early or be prepared to wait for a table! For my experience, the waitlist did not open until 7:00pm on a Saturday, and we waited 90 minutes to be seated for a party of 3. Luckily, you can monitor your spot on the waitlist in the Yelp app, so we passed the time by waiting at a bar down the street.The food came out quickly and the ordering process was easy to understand. I'd give this a solid 4.5/5, rounding up to 5. Excellent service all around.

Hands down, my favorite sushi place in the area when it comes to value for money. Where else can you enjoy all-you-can-eat appetizers, sushi, and desserts for just $39 per person? It's an unbeatable deal that keeps me coming back time and time again. Plus, the BYOB policy is a fantastic bonus, allowing me to pair my favorite drinks with their delicious dishes.However, there's one pesky downside that always seems to put a damper on our dining experience - the annoying gnats. It's frustrating to be swarmed by these pesky insects while trying to enjoy your meal. Despite this minor inconvenience, the incredible value and quality of the food keep me returning.

I've been here a handful of times and each time I'm always satisfied. The AYCE menu has signature rolls and nigiri but also many appetizers options. The quality of the fish is above average for AYCE and the ratio of fish to rice is heavier on the fish. The quality of the desserts and appetizers are amazing for the price. If you go for lunch time during the weekdays the price is only $23 and is super worth going. The service was fast and friendly and parking isn't too bad to find in this area.

I tried sushi taku when i first moved to Chicago because everyone and their mama seemed to rave about this spot. Unfortunately at that time, I wasn't as big of a fan of their sushi compared to everyone else. I think they have a great app selection but their sushi is super rice heavy and the fish seemed really dry. My friend and i wanted to give them a second chance and this time around we had a better experience compared to the first. We had a variety of nigiri and unfortunately the salmon one seemed really dry which was disappointing since it's typically such a fatty fish - but the white tuna was our favorite. For the selection, not a bad spot and probably takes 3rd place on my list of favorite AYCE sushi in Chicago. The service is mid but food comes out fast.

Amazing place for AYCE sushi! The fish was high quality and they give you a lot of fish. The menu is pretty decent and we definitely got our moneys worth. The sushi comes fast and our server was quick with our appetizers and orders. Would definitely recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time because it can get pretty packed on the weekends but I also went at 6:30pm on a Sunday - so will try to come for lunch and the weekends to see the differences.

I love Wicker Park Sushi Taku. I always do the Yelp Waitlist when I have the chance to. It allows me to see the wait time and all the parties in front of me. Once I get the confirmation, I check in with the hostess who are honestly so sweet and welcoming. I went on a Sunday evening. They offered outdoor seating and they also warned us if it rains, they can try to move people inside. That's very considerate of them. I was sat indoor since the outdoor area was getting full. My friends and I ordered an assortment of sushi and appetizers. They came out on a timely manner and it was delicious. I always enjoy going to sushi taku. It's on top of my list for ACYE sushi.

Adding some photos from a recent visit. We stopped by again for their lunch AYCE and were not disappointed. Although you can't get dessert and a select few nigiri options, the rolls are the same as the dinner menu. Now that we were able to go back, we tried the Angel Hair roll, Saku Roll, and the Sunny Roll. The Angel hair is a must try! The apple flavor works so well with the fish. I also recommend the yellowtail nigiri.

Really really like this place. I have been multiple times for lunch and a couple times for dinner. This spot is great for all you can eat you can't beat the lunch special price. The fish pieces are huge and very flavorful and I do have quite a few speciality rolls that I really like. The waitstaff is friendly and the food comes out quick despite it always being busy. I have also been here alone to work and eat and it was just perfect I sat by the window and was not bothered by anyone around me.

All you can eat sushi for $23/person for lunch and $32/person for dinner.It's pretty spacious and seems clean.We came during lunch last October. It wasn't buzy but the receptionist ignored us for a while. Once we were seated, there was a fan blowing air (with bleach from the floor) straight to my face. Service in general was slow and the waitresses were not rude but were not too friendly either.Food was just okay, not bad but not amazing. We weren't impressed with anything we got.

AYCE sushi. Got there around 4:45 and the place was already packed. There was a line shortly after and for our entire experience.Started with crab rangoons which were some of the best I've had. Gyoza was meh, haru maki was crispy, and the sesame ball didn't sit right.Nigiris were big and fresh. The unagi was my favorite, the tamago was subtly sweet, hamachi, hokkigai, and kaibashira all solid.Got a lot rolls, mostly signature ones. The Godzilla, crazy kani, dragon, and sapporo rolls were very tasty. All consisted of a tempura element but also had great balance with the respective avocado, cucumbers, cream cheese, crab, and eel. They were also a good size. The two that I wasn't a fan of were the crazy tuna and sal-fornia rolls. We finished with some desserts. The mango mochi was delightful, Oreo tempuras were sweet but could have used more crisp, and the ube? macaroon was light and flavorful.Overall, the service was great and there was a nice vibe. Tons of options between the appetizers, rolls, nigiri, and dessert all at a solid price.
