My favorite sushi in the city – My first meal at Naniwa was shortly after I separated from my wife. I was going through "first date hell" with a dozen fix-ups and one of my dates suggested Naniwa. She didn't make it to the second date, but the restaurant did. I counted it as my best first date, until my now-wife took me out of the market. Now its our favorite place! I have recently discovered the pan-fried scallop appetizer, which is big enough to share and a guaranteed hit with your meal partner. The nigiri are among the be... read more

Great food, Now that the rolls are fixed. – For the last 12 years, Naniwa in River North has had some of the city’s best sashimi and its worst rolls. We always thought this was Bobby-San’s punishment for stupid Americans who thought they liked sushi but were afraid to order it without mayo. Well sir, whatever changed your mind, after more than a decade, we appreciate it. In their 12 years of existence, Naniwa has come a long way. It has always been common knowledge that a spicy tuna roll was the restaurant’s way of getting r... read more

Good Neighborhood Sushi spot – Naniwa is a good neighborhood spot and is very reasonably priced. The maki roll selection is pretty extensive, but they could have more appetizers to choose from. It's not byob and the drinks are expensive for what you're getting. Other than that, it's a great last minute dinner spot that is never extremely busy.

Traditional Japanese restaurant scores with fresh sushi and friendly service. – The Scene Sushi chefs call greetings from behind the bar as a crowd of River North professionals and after-work diners fill this sleek, simple storefront. The hum of conversation and power lunches doesn't distract from the main focus here: wonderfully fresh fish. Dine inside for sophisticated comfort, or watch busy Wells Street erupt from the outdoor patio. The Food Sushi and maki (roll) options abound and include traditional items like hamachi (... read more

Very Good Delivery – I was in a hotel and decided to have this restaurant deliver to my room. I went online and looked at the menu and then I called. The food was prompt and very good. The edamame is always a favorite and the dragon rolls are very good. I also got the sashimi dinner and was a little disapointed in the size. The fish was great but I felt for the price (19.95) I should have gotten more than 12-14 very small pieces. Otherwise a great place!!

good neighborhood sushi place – After reading all the reviews at this website, I tried Naniwa. I just wanted to find a decent, affordable sushi place. If that's what you're looking for, this place is prefect, I believe. The staff was quite friendly and the food was good at decent prices. -right food for right price

First timer, from out of town – This was my first sushi experience. It was GREAT! The waitress was very helpful. The chef did a great job suggesting things. We sat next to very helpful patrons. Overall, this was an experience worth every penny we paid. We will definately return.

Great place for Lunch – I went here for lunch with a friend. It was great sushi, but a little pricy. They were quick to serve for as busy as they were at prime lunch hour. I would probably visit again if I was on my expense account.
