there's a giant projector in here that displays jellyfish so if u are afraid of that then sit outside.we tried the seaweed salad and it was good, I thought ab getting out of my chair to start singing!I even brought my own bottle of wine in, "Yellowtail Wine" which I thought was a pretty clever joke and a nod to the business itself

Good for an upscale sushi experience. You can bring your own drinks here as well if you feel so inclined.All the appetizers were great. We got edamame, chicken karaage and takoyaki. The takoyaki was interesting because the food "dances" when they first bring it to your table! Not sure how they pulled that off, but it was neat.The rolls themselves were of high quality. My only critique is that many of them are over-engineered. Sushi should generally be a simple food, where less does more - rolls with more than three or four ingredients often do a disservice to the natural flavors.Great spot overall!

Yellowtail HAS to be on everyone's must-eat list in Chicago! This Lakeview sushi place has a creative and delicious menu filled with lots of traditional rolls and so many innovative takes on sushi!We tried the Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna (marinated spicy tuna with scallion, unagi sauce, black tobiko, and avocado on top of crispy sushi rice) and the Handcrafted Nigiri Appetizer (2 Namasake Nigiri with Ginger Soy Sauce / 2 Hamachi Nigiri with Jalapeño Soy Sauce / 2 Bluefin Akami Nigiri with torch spicy Lava Sauce and Scallions) - both of which were PHENOMENAL!!Then for our rolls, we split the Salmon Mango, Shrimp Tempura, and the Takara Hotate Maki Roll (Avocado, tempura crunch, spicy mayo rolled in seaweed with giant domestic Scallop baked in creamy garlic sauce, Jalapeno, spicy sesame seasoning, and unagi sauce). The service here was great (our waitress gave us so many good recommendations!) and the interior is so cute. Out of everything, PLEASE try the Takara Hotate Maki roll & the Nigiri Appetizer! Those were SO SO GOOD!! Can't wait to go back and try out more of the menu!

So so yummy! The pad Thai is such a generous portion I will have leftovers for days. Definitely will bring a bottle of wine next time I go and am eager to try their sushi. Nice night outside and server was nice!

I tried Yellowtail for a date night and overall really enjoyed the food! The sushi was fresh and delicious, and I liked having the option to BYOB. The shu mai was a great appetizer. The restaurant was very popular, so service was a little slow initially, but once we got our order in we were served promptly. I'll be back here for sushi again!

Yellowtail is by far my favorite BYOB sushi place I've been to so far!!! A lot of the ones I've been to aren't very nice and don't have high quality sushi, but Yellowtail was very good and had really good, high quality, fresh sushi. The inside was packed and not very big, so I recommend making a reservation. Although it is BYOB, there is a $5 fee for every bottle of wine you open. The quality of sushi and experience at Yellowtail is still worth the $5 fee though over going somewhere else that isn't as good.I tried the Miso Salmon and Spicy Calamari roll. Both were amazing, but the Miso Salmon roll took the cake. I would get it again and again next time I go back over trying all new things. Yellowtail has tons of options outside of sushi, so it makes it a great place to go with anyone. Can't wait to go back!!!!

Love Yellowtail -- it's a Lakeview staple. Pretty great for GF diners as well (most of their staff is knowledgeable, I've had some experiences where they're less familiar) and they have tamari to replace soy sauce. Sushi is always fantastic and the ambiance is great!

If you are looking for great sushi, look no further! Whichever roll we tried tasted great! What stood out besides the rolls were the Takoyaki and the salmon fried rice! Super delicious and we couldn't get enough of those! The ambience is also great, it's a darker setting with vibrant colorful jellyfish projected onto the wall. Not to forget, the service was excellent as well!

If I can summarize this with one word it should be "Fresh". That's all my taste buds want to remember...you must try! Yum!

I felt God in yellowtail this Sunday. It's a religious experience every time I walk through the doors. Everything on the menu is the better than the next. I wish there were more letters in the english alphabet so I could say more complimentary things about this establishment. As soon as I'm full, I'm already counting down the hours until I can eat my leftovers later. Plain and simple - these people know good sushi.
