Umi Sushi by Weight Chicago

I really like this sushi by weight concept and the quality I’m getting for the money. This place has great variety and the quality is great. I’d say the quality of the sushi is on par with most neighborhood sushi restaurants. The ingredients are fresh, the sushi rice is well cooked and flavorful. Overall just decent sushi. Price is very affordable too at $14.99/lbs. For reference, the two trays are about 0.7lbs each, so 1.4lbs together, and the total after tax is $24.22. That’s seriously good value as a premium sushi roll from the grocery store these days costs $12-15. So offering quality sushi at this price is seriously good value and I’m all for it I really like the whole concept and the sushi this place makes, I’ll be a regular and I hope they keep it up!

Love this place! They provide variety of options and the sushi is great quality. Pricing is very reasonable. Each tray comes to about 1lbs, totaling around $15. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi

Appreciated this newly opened spot! The price was reasonable, and we loved the variety of rolls and nigiri options available. Would recommend the salmon and tuna nigiri, as well as the dynamite and eel rolls. The rice was well seasoned for both nigiri and rolls. Their setup is sanitary and makes sure that trays and tongs are cleaned between uses. They also have free cucumber water, and you can get your own eel sauce and spicy mayo. Only recommendation is having allergen labels for the rolls, especially for folks who have shellfish allergy but still love sushi. The staff was knowledgeable in answering our questions though. Overall, enjoyed this spot. Will def be coming back.

Very unique concept to grab a quick bite of sushi. You can pick any sushi pieces you like, and you pay by the weight! My plate was about $20. Would recommend for something quick, easy, fresh and healthy.

A great spot for lunch with a variety delicious special rolls and sushi. I love the concept of trying various options and pay by weight, perfect for those with commitment issues. For those who are indecisive and salmon lover, my favorite are - seared salmon nigiri - salmon inari (tofu pocket) - double salmon - salmon obsession These are good quality pieces that i wish i got more. We went a busy lunch time so a lot was waiting to be refilled but still plenty of good options available. Don’t sleep on the sauce station as well, very thoughtful with the cucumber water! Will come back!

Oh wow, such a great place to get sushi craving Satisfied with the weight by pound charge. It is within walking distant to the Palmer hotel that i stayed at therefore i decided to give this place a try. It did not disappoint. I like salmon so i got most of their salmon . The quality is fresh. The process is quick. There was some seating for dine in experience.

I walked in and the person working was so helpful. He told me how everything works and then he also explained what each sushi was. I actually went to eat it somewhere by the Riverwalk and it was so good. 10/10!!!

Can you guess the weight? No, silly, not my weight. The weight of my sushi. Have you heard of Umi Sushi?
