Sushi Hall

"Sushi Hall is a great spot for a casual meal in a space that looks like the West Elm website. It has a sleek, cozy interior with minimalist-designed chairs, tables, and bar stools at the chef’s counter. Their long menu has a wide range of quality raw fish, prepared in all sorts of ways like sashimi and well-crafted hand rolls. When you’re here, you can also expect a  visit from the friendly chef who likes to check in and fist bump every diner." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"Veteran Chicago sushi chef Mitch Kim helms the kitchen at Sushi Hall, a neighborhood haven where sushi aficionados and novices gather for a diverse menu that ranges from familiar favorites (think traditional maki, sashimi, and nigiri) as well as twists like tempura-battered jalapeno poppers and katsu fried green tomatoes." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"This Lincoln Park’s sushi haunt features the talents of Mitch Kim, the veteran chef who has served Japanese cuisine for more than two decades in the neighborhood. The restaurant pairs modern design (think exposed brick walls, leather barstools, and a fish skeleton mural inspired by a tattoo on Kim’s forearm) with ever-changing menus that include vegetarian options and nods to izakaya-style dishes." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Sushi Hall is a great spot in Lincoln Park for a casual meal. Its sleek, cozy dining room is perfect for a casual date or a one-on-one catch-up, and if you’re planning on coming with a larger group, they also have a second separate dining space with a few large tables. Their long menu has a wide range of raw seafood, including sashimi and well-crafted rolls, like the BFF: tempura, spicy tuna, and eel topped with a sweet unagi sauce. And while you’re here you can expect a visit from the friendly chef who likes to check in with each table and fist bump every diner." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor

"Now armed with more information, patrons have begun to seek a middle ground between grocery store sushi and Mako’s $185-per-person price tag at laid-back spots including Sushi Hall, which opened in early summer in Lincoln Park and Sushi Suite 202 from New York’s Sushi by Bou." - Naomi Waxman
