S@kura

My hubby and I have this tradition each year during Lent where we try a different sushi place every Friday (yeah, I know ... this probably doesn't drive home the whole concept of "sacrifice" but hey, I'm not even actually Catholic!).  This little place was close to home and BYOB (always a plus in our book!).  It was small and cozy but we were able to get seated without a reservation on a Friday night (also a plus! And certainly not the case with our go-to sushi place in the hood, Coast).  The sushi was fine ... not out of this world (still looking for a place to top Coast in that regard and I don't think S@kura is going to be "the one").  We always order the Spicy Tuna roll as our measuring stick and theirs was actually spicy (yet another plus!).   Overall we enjoyed decent sushi at a very reasonable price (yay!).  Seeing as they also offer delivery/pick up I see this place becoming a viable option for us when we don't want to shell out the big bucks for an at home sushi night.

*Sorry for the repeated Coast references .... being our current fave, I can't help but compare every other place we try to them. I'm not much of a foodie, so I need a basis for comparison!

I usually get good service here but last week was pretty bad. I haven't been here for a while and I guess things have changed. Too many different people coming to our table. They bought me the wrong thing and when I asked to look at the menu again, the sever got an attitude. When I told our waitress she hushed me...not cool. I didn't go out to eat to get an attitude and poor service. It was my friends first time going there. She won't be back and neither will I. I don't recommend this place.

atmosphere is small & cheap but the sushi is good.
Not the best in chicago but still really good for how close to my house it is.
Place is BOYB and there is a Liquor store across the street.
