ROLL UP JAPANESE HAND ROLLS

Great food and service! Tried a bit of a few things and enjoyed all of it. The fries were great! The rolls tasted fresh and were made to order in front of us. Even the wasabi was amazing! Great spot for snacks or a light meal. The spot is tucked away a bit so it’s easy to miss.

One of my friends recommended this restaurant when I was looking for a place to host my birthday party. The owner was super responsive. I reached out to her a couple of weeks in advance, and she worked with us to hammer out logistics with the birthday decorations and cake prep. She also helped us order some off-menu items we wanted for the party. During the party, we also ordered items from their menu. We were not only impressed with the overall fish quality, but also the small details they put into things. They provide real wasabi, and serve really aromatic tea from Paris that I've not seen at other restaurants. The 9 of us really enjoyed the experience - we've been to omakases in LA, NYC, and Japan, and their uni and otoro is up there with the greats. It's so refreshing to find a non-omakase restaurant that puts a high focus on the quality of their ingredients without breaking the bank for us customers. It's also very cool that they do private events! My friends and I had a great time celebrating my birthday, and we will definitely be back!

Roll Up is AWESOME. The hand rolls were very flavorful and super fresh. Chef Cesar helped us figure out what we want and made amazing handroll — every roll was better than the first Also the bartender Summer made great drinks and helped us select the right Sake based on our preferences. She was super friendly! If you want tasty sushi rolls, good vibes, and cool people, go to Roll Up. I’m definitely coming back!

Wow the quality of food here is top notch! From the fresh real wasabi (not the bright green fake wasabi from a tube) to the taste and presentation of their crispy rice tartar and matcha tiramasu, you can tell the owner put lots of effort on making sure all the ingredients are fresh and good quality. The service was also great! We had too many glasses of the pineapple express (refillable!). We will definitely come back again.

We had such a good dinner here! The vibes are great with bar seating. Service was very friendly and really fast as well - our whole dinner was served and finished in about 30 minutes. We loved the unagi and blue fin hand rolls. The matcha tiramisu dessert was also amazing. Will definitely be back!

Came here with a friend. I made a reservation online but they had plenty of open spots (probably because they’re new). Interior was clean and bright. This is a bar style restaurant. Wouldn’t come here with a group of people. They have one long bar and a few servers that will give you your hand rolls one at a time. I got the miso soup and it was not the best- would skip next time. Yellowtail crudo was really good and so were the hand rolls. They held up while eating and were to the point. Matcha tiramisu was amazing and service was fast. Will be back again to try other things on the menu

Found this place while walking back from the field museum. Very high-quality hand rolls. We had the yellowtail crudo and a variety of hand rolls (crab, toro, shrimp, yellowtail) - the fish was incredibly fresh and they had real wasabi, not the paste. Simon was incredibly friendly and fun to chat with. Very high-quality ingredients and a really special dinner!

I had a great time dining here! I had the crispy rice, the chicken karaage, and a few hand rolls, which all tasted great. The sushi was fresh, and the staff were friendly. Seating is bar-style, so it’s best suited for smaller or more intimate groups. I recommend coming here.

Delicious fresh fish, lovely decor, fantastic service, nice presentation, and fair prices. Definitely worth the splurge for the Toro tuna and California. The fries were great and the matcha tiramisu was house made and not too sweet, really nice.

The food and service was outstanding. I wish we had a restaurant like this back in PA. The rolls are super fresh and the tea was delicious. I will definitely be back.

Pretty decent stuff. Fries are season well. Avocado roll was decent. Far from the worst & best I've had. Decent option if the area while taking in the sites in the park

I didn't get to take a picture of my food since my kid scarfed it down as soon as we got home. The place is pretty new and would like to go back and actually sit down. We got 3 hand rolls (salmon,California and avocado) it's pretty basic but it's filling and was pretty good. It's good for takeout if you're planning a park day at grant park or beach day. I will come back and looking forward to the wagyu roll.

Nice staff good special $19 for 3 rolls, two of your choice and the last is chefs choice

Must get items: negitoro handroll, unagi handroll, furikake fries, crispy rice, blue lait tea. Friend had a birthday party here, we ordered some of everything on the menu and they were really nice and let us do a custom menu for the party. The negitoro is maybe the best quality toro I've had in a handroll place. Tasted like they used otoro versus chutoro or a cheaper type of tuna. Also loved the wasabi (there were pieces of fermented? pickled? wasabi stem pieces that were crunchy and sooooo good). Off menu, we ordered kinmedai, nodoguro, amaebi, shima aji, otoro in advance just for the party and the chef was super nice and made everyone sushi/sashimi/handrolls based versions of whatever we wanted during the party.

Great ambiance, opened up in the neighborhood! The service is quick and staff is friendly.

Spontaneously decided to stop here with a friend before a concert. They opened recently. The restaurant has bar style seating. The owner recommended the shrimp tempura roll and spicy tuna roll, which were very yummy. He also let us know we got free fries when we purchase a hand roll, which was greatly appreciated. The fries and spicy mayo were really good, but I wouldn't buy them myself at menu price.

Staff was so kind and personable and food was amazing! Fresh ingredients...spicy tuna roll was a favorite along with the fries and spicy mayo! Fun ambience with a long sushi bar and high top seats!

It was our last day in Chicago for a birthday weekend, we stumbled on Rollup on Resy and boy did we hit gold. The handrolls were amazing especially the Bluefin! Since it was a birthday they also gave us some Matcha tiramisu, which was great as well, light on the sweetness which we love. Would definitely come back again!

Eating at Roll Up By Oui was such an intimate experience! It was our first time trying a hand roll restaurant and this set the bar HIGH! The service was quick and friendly. The sushi was grand! Definitely recommend trying this restaurant out with friends or a nice date!

Happened to walk past yesterday with my baby for their grand opening and tried their cucumber roll (seasoned so well!), spicy salmon (10/10!), salmon roll (can't really taste the salmon much 6/10) and my daughter loved the furikake fries (light, crispy on the outside and right amount of fluff inside and not oily at all). Will def come back again to try their sets! This was just a snack :)

Got welcomed by the warm smile of server Bruce, who was handing out French-inspired ice tea outside of their door. Menu was easy to choose from since they made set menus for those wanting to make a full meal. Each one is amazing and exceeded expectations! Had to order a second set to split. Lovely neighborhood Jap-fusion spot! Matcha tiramisu for the win!

This place is so so good! The Pineapple Express is super fresh, the chef makes everything in front of you and the match tiramisu is to die for. Service was fast and the place is really cozy!

The furikake fries were an absolute 10/10. My favorite item that I tried on the menu. I also had the shisito peppers which were extremely good and perfectly grilled. I came into this experience never having had a hand roll before and I really enjoyed it! A bit more messy than when they are cut but it was a fun experience and they make the hand rolls right in front of you! I asked if they had jalapeño to add on to rolls (one of my random favorites to add to sushi) and they didn't have it but the manager walked to go grocer to buy me one which was the absolute nicest thing ever! So so sweet!

Such a cool atmosphere! Cozy lighting, you can watch the sushi being made right in front of you. Can't wait to go back. You can bring friends its the perfect date night spot. Really cool sushi options too. Service was great, super friendly.

This place is great! Super tasty apps and the rolls are indeed fresh and simple. Service is about as good as it gets! I recommend the fries and the scallop roll

We stumbled in after seeing their posted deal of a free order of fries and miso soup with the purchase of a hand roll. The service was incredible, as was the food. With or without the deal, it was absolutely worth it! 10/10

Such a great new addition to the south loop neighborhood! We had the miso soup, shishito peppers, furikake fries, and several hand rolls (spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, California, avocado), and everything was great! Already excited to come back!
