OMG The Best Sushi I've ever had – OMG! I went to Kuni's with my sister and cousin and i loved the place. I love the fish and salad dressing is something else. It's much better than other restaurants i've been to . The food was well prepared, the service was excellent. I will probably end up going often. Compared to other high end sushi restaurants Kuni's i think is the most reasonably priced for the quality.

Great Sushi! – I was driving around Evanston with my friends and of course we were hungry. Stopped by Kuni's on Monday. This place is great. The sushi/sashimi was delicious. I love their miso soup and toro is amazing. I've never had Boston Tuna (make sure you try that) that melted in my mouth with such flavor before and I've eaten sushi at many other places (Bentonara, Blu, etc.) and Kuni's is way up on my list. Can't wait to go again next week with my sister and cousin, aji is his favorite so i can't wait.

Love Love Love the place – Kuni's restaurant is another great place to visit in Chicagoland. When my son visits, we eat sushi at least once. Three times we've dined at Kuni's and other times we've dined at Tsunami . The last time he came we ate at Kuni's, which was better than Tsunami . The sushi was obviously fresh and well prepared, the edamame were delicious, and the sushi chef was friendly. The restaurant and Sushi Bar both are clean and attractive. For sushi lovers, there is a complete sushi bar where you can sit and wa... read more

DO NOT GO DO NOT GO!!! – DO NOT GO HERE!! My husband and another couple dined here on Sat night. My husband and friend both got very sick. My husband was hospitalized and my friend nearly hospitalized. My husband and friend had the same meal and both fell ill at the same time. We called Kuni to let them know and they were absolutely AWFUL. They yelled at us and accused us of drinking too much (when we literally had nothing to drink). Furthermore, the food was not good that night - I did not get sick, but did not enjoy my mea... read more

Homamonya!! For true sushi lover... – Kuni's sushi is the best in Chicago for sure!!! It not a fancy sushi place as new trendy sushi joints coming up. This is very Traditional and high quality sushi. If you ask for rainbow roll, he will kick you out the door!! Kidding.. He is very nice. The quality of the fish is exceptional because it is hand selected, treated/cut by Kuni-san himself. It is tough to find such a quality fish even in Japan. He is the best!! If you are looking for quality suishi, this is the place. If you are ... read more
