I have been to Sushi Wabi twice and had delivery once. All three times I have had wonderful sushi. It is a bit pricey, but the freshness of the fish the large size of the rolls make it well worth it. The rolls are amazing and presented beautifully! I will be a repeat customer for awhile.

I went here because of the good reviews I've heard and it was really disappointing - especially for what you pay. For what you're paying, you should be getting something above mid-tier. It's nothing like Mirai or Hama Matsu, but it should be quality stuff. The rice was really bland. Sushi rice should contain sugar, salt, and rice wine vinegar just enough to so if you ate it plain or in a bowl (like chirashi), it should have flavor and be really sticky. Their rice tasted like it lacked the key ingredients that make sushi rice. Not to mention it was mushed and sloppy. The rice was the same quality as rice in supermarket sushi. The fish was a little better (thankfully), but the variety was very standard. A good sushi place should have signature and inventive specialties. Measuring a sushi place by their dragon and rainbow rolls is like measuring a steakhouse solely by their hamburgers; it's incomplete and a short measure. Considering the restaurant is by all the quality fishmongers in Chicago, you would expect the fish to be fresher too. Like I said though, I could deal with a lot of these traits if I wasn't paying as much as I did. I'll go again if someone else is paying, but otherwise, no thanks.

YUMMY. I hadn't had sushi for a month and it definitely satisfied my craving, and left me wanting more. Just a little pricey and service was a little slow-which is nice if you don't need anything.

Sushi Wabi is my favorite place for sushi. The maki rolls are outstanding, especially the Dragon, Rainbow and Godzilla. The sushi is extremely fresh and you can watch them prepare it at the sushi bar. The staff is excellent - great service and quick. It may be slightly pricey, but well worth it. Overall, an excellent place.
