Izumi Sushi Bar & Restaurant

LOVE! Steve is awesome and they have a couple rolls that are without rice. MY FAVE. This is my Monday night hang out.

Great sushi experience, not well know but extremely fresh cuts of sashimi and well organized rolls. Cool decor located in the back of the distillery! Check them out!

You can't miss this place since the front of the restaurant is covered in a huge mural of a woman. Dinning room is small, maybe 7 tables. The staff is super...

Such a lovley experience!! The flavors here so so delicious and the waitstaff was so wonderful. Highly recommend all of their nigiri options, the oysters, the 1 Up roll, and the Japanese old fashioned! Definitely don’t want to miss this place.

One of the best sushi places around, highly recommend the omasake if you’re looking to get some good sushi! Staff is very friendly and amazing!

Great drinks and staff! The Futo Maki and Tako Yaki Fritters were very tasty as well.

If you like Kyoten, Mako, Sushi Suite, Omakase Yumi — You have to add Jinsei Motto to the list. Located in the back of CH Distillery - this place is a gem. You can do the 18 course omakase ($175) which is amazing, or you can do smaller sets (12 pieces chefs choice nigiri, etc.), and you can also order pieces ala carte. All are flavorful and super fresh. Service is impeccable AND friendly, and no doubt thanks to CH Distillery the cocktails and drinks are tastey and fresh. There is one cocktail with a green pea liquor that’s perfect for spring and summer and particularly refreshing. Don’t forget the sake too. Dessert is excellent as well - try the JM-branded tamago and the fluffy Japanese cheese cake. If you don’t have time to dine in but are a sushi freak like me, JM also offers take out options. It is hands down the freshest, best prepared, and tastey sushi and nigiri take out in Chicago, and I’ve had Kyoten’s takeaway bento boxes (when they were doing them during COVID). It’s also extremely well packaged so it arrives at your doorstep how it would arrive at your tabletop. Order thru the Toast app! I guarantee there is no take out like it ANYWHERE in Chicago. In short this is a superb addition to Chicago’s sushi and omakase scene, it’s affordable, and the people and vibe can’t be beat.

I admit I am not a sushi aficionado, but I AM a snob when it comes to basic California rolls. Crab salad only! No crab stick for me! So when I saw "fresh...

We absolutely loved this new sushi place! Greak maki! We recommend futo, rainbow, and spicy tako blue fin, the kakan roll and the hamachi roll! Will come back ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️

Some of the best sushi in Chicago. We started out with the oysters which had an incredible citrus type sauce (kumquat). Typically I would not eat oysters without cocktail sauce, but these were excellent and refreshing. Finished the appetizers with the crispy tuna bites. They were a nice crunchy appetizer before our main sushi entree. We asked about the sushi setto and the chef indicated they can do an omakase like meal. They provided us a wide variety of nigiri with very flavorful toppings. This included a variety of salmon, tuna, snapper, and scallop. Highly recommended. I will definitely be back.
