The Ecuador roll and the chef prepared nigiri rolls were excellent - the marinated salmon and especially the scallop was perfectly tender and excellent flavors.

The Ecuador roll was good but perhaps that’s the best roll among the rest on the menu.

I also enjoyed the Miso soup a lot, it was deeply flavored.

I liked the ambiance as well, but not sure the value of this restaurant holds up over time, I found this to be very expensive for the amount of food you get.

First of all, I would like to recommend the restaurant to adjust their reservation system. We were told to go to this place by recommendation and it was very difficult to book a table on a Saturday afternoon. After getting the reservation and arriving at the place, it was not busy at all. On the other hand, I have to say that the food is amazing. From the starters and the nigiris, to the rolls, we enjoyed everything we ordered.

If you love sushi and find yourself in Chicago, look no further than Sushi Dokku! One of the coolest concepts I have been to in recent memory. We made reservations for the Booze Box downstairs below the main dining area. It is intimate and dark. Booth seating surrounds the bar and a DJ booth sets in the corner for the weekend events. The menu is full of surprises and you need to try a little bit of everything. The salad prepared our taste buds by waking them up. We then got punched with flavor and heat by the Hot Daisy roll. Then soothed by the dumplings only to be mesmerized by the unmatched flavor and perfection of the lamb chops. Do not sleep on these chops! Eat them now! Enjoy!

Sushi Dokku is a go to from yuzu to shoyu, the proof is in the pictures that I’ll show you!

Consistently succulent sushi and bites every time. Favorites include the chef dressed nigiri, tempura, okonomiyaki, and the crispy thin cookies for dessert.

Try sitting at the bar, outside, or downstairs at the Booze Box - wonderful every time!

Sushi Dokku Japanese Restaurant

Landade här när en ramen restaurang i närheten var full. Ganska bra ram, gyoza. Njöt av karaage (kyckling vingbitar) . Bra service.

Maten var förstklassig, servicen var mycket marginell vilket var en stor besvikelse med tanke på de höga recensioner jag tittade på idag

Fantastiskt smakande mat. Vi hade den kryddig maki som var utmärkt och Umeboshi kycklingen var ur denna värld.

Vi hade en enastående dragon roll och riktigt bra fläsk stekt ramen. Vänta personal var mycket uppmärksam och hjälpsam med rekommendationer. Jag hade en flykt av skull och en ovanlig vridning på en manhattan. Jag gillade skull. Kommer definitivt tillbaka hit

Detta är min andra gång till Sushi Dokku. Min fru och jag reser till Chicago en gång om året och vi älskade det förra året och det gjorde inte svika detta år. Vi älskar att sitta i baren på Sushi restauranger. Du får se all åtgärd och några plåtar som kommer ut så att du bättre kan bestämma vad du ska beställa. Vi älskar sushi nigiri bites. Det finns bara tillräckligt med ingredienser på dem för att göra det unika men inte överväldigande. Något sushi kan vara att kyla vanligtvis används det för att dölja fiskens kvalitet. De gör det inte här, fiskens kvalitet är stor. Mycket färskt och serveras ordentligt. Det här är sushi som du inte behöver använda sojasås på. En av de handen jag gillade var baren hade bänkar för 2 personer. Perfekt för en dag natt. Sushi Dokku, vi kommer tillbaka.

Bra mat och bra urval av japansk whisky. Vi hade en trevlig affärsmiddag, tjänsten började lite långsam men plockade upp efter att ha låtit dem veta.

Övergripande rekommendera dem när de kommer till Chicago

Vet att det skulle bli bra; det var ännu bättre än väntat. Kammusslor är super! Sushi var en av mina bättre erfarenheter någonsin. Atmosfären är trevlig.

Verkligen gillade den innovativa stilen på Sushi som de serverar här. Vi tog barnen med oss ​​och de lyckades få dem att utmana sig lite på deras matsmak. De slukade fläsk Katsu ramen.

Trevlig skull prova flyg också

Vi promenerar alltid men har aldrig någonsin slutat i men wow, var vi imponerade! Tjänsten var snabb och vänlig, sushi var färskt och flavorful och den underjordiska baren (Booze Box) gjort detta till en av våra favoriter platser. Utmärkt skull och japanska whisky alternativ och en unik hantverk cocktailmeny.

Jag är inte för mycket i japanska restauranger men jag hade här en underbar tempura mycket väl kokta med en ljus skorpa och en bra blandning av fisk och grönsaker. Nudelsoppa var ganska bra också. Var de gröna paprikorna är VARJE!

Även om matsalen var full, rådde värden att de hade öppet utrymme i källaren. Även om trappan är lite av att sätta, atmosfären när du kommer till källaren är helt unik. Mycket långt med stora rundade bås gjorde det till en intressant affärsmiddag. Jag åtnjöt både kryddig krabba rulle och en liten ordning det tempura (vilket inte alls var liten)! Cocktails och service var också bra.

Vi besökte Sushi Dokku medan du besöker Chicago och vi alla hade ett begär för sushi. Denna restaurang svika inte. Bra service och en full meny med en mängd olika val för alla. Vi rekommenderar tonfisk tryffel, hotate gai (kryddad kammussling, masago, kryddig mayo) den krispiga maguro (Tonfisk, rödlök, stekt skalot, maguro flingor, avokado, togarashi mayo), draken (Tempura räkor, unagi, avokado, masago ) eller den heta tusensköna (Albacore, masago, kryddig mayo, gurka, sojapapper, lime) rullar. Till efterrätt är det en kasta upp mellan sesamkakan med glass eller mochi. Och för drycker, prova Chili Gin Mojito (Gin, Chili Pepper, Mint, Lime, Sour).

Vi valde att låt servitrisen bestämma våra vågor av kurser under hela natten och hon svika inte! Tonfisk avokado tryffel var höjdpunkten!

Sushi är japansk mat. Det har ris, grönsaker och fisk. De serverar också veg Sushi. Jag gillade hur de dekore mat och åtnjöt deras atmosfär. Tack

Grillad bläckfisk, med pickles på sidan. Bläckfisk bollar, (jag vet inte vad du kallar dem i japanska lol), var krispig och smaklig och serveras med utsökt sås och garnering. Jag hade makrill (Saba) eftersom det är min favorit och svika inte. Lite spendy men värt pengarna.
