Not the best in IL but certainly best in Lakeview and Lincoln Park area – Itto sushi is the best sushi house in the Lakeview and Lincoln Park area. It is probably the third best sushi house in IL besides two Sakuras in the west. Therere tons of Japanese restaurants on Halsted and Broadway but, the truth may hurt you, none of them are good. Itto sushi isnt for general American customers. It is for customers who know at least a little bit Japanese food/culture. For instance, the knowledge of knowing if a Nigiri is in the right... read more

Fresh and generous cuts of fish have made this a neighborhood favorite since the early '90s. – The Scene Seating-wise you can sit up front the counter, or grab a table in the quieter back room. This is a family-run affair where the chefs run the show, the waitresses welcome regulars as soon as the front door opens, and everybody swivels to watch TV. It's like eating in your living room, only with buttoned-down young professionals for company and a top-notch crew preparing the trays. And free parking--a shocker in Lincoln Par... read more

Average, at best – Having eaten sushi at most places in Chicago, and at many places in the world (including Japan), I can't rate Itto Sushi very highly. I have eaten here twice, and in each instance, was amazed at the sushi-san's demeanor and lack of skill. They claim to have the freshest fish, but since every sushi place (except for one that I know of) buys their fish from Rainbow (the Moonie operation that has cornered the market), it's a false claim. The fish was adequate...some had been sitting around too long, the rice ... read more

Authentic Japanese for a change – Itto is by far the best authentic Japanese Sushi restaurant in the city. Maybe due to the fact that it is one of the few true Japanese owned and operated Sushi restaurants. I have been a regular customer for 5 years and have always been very happy with the food and service. It reminds me a lot of the Sushi I ate when I was posted in Japan unlike most of the other places I have tried in Chicago which tend to have a very Korean flare. It can be very busy on the weekends but you can always hang... read more

Average sushi, nice restaurant – It has a nice sushi bar, and plenty of chefs. But for the price it's not that worthy. They may boast daily fish flown in, but the freshness is about the same as other sushi places. There are many waitresses. Saba (mackerel) was not so good, much better at Cafe Sushi on Wells.
