Great sushi, friendly staff, a must‎

This is the best sushi I've found in Chicago. After my disappointment in Oisi, Ai and other downtown hot-spots, a friend recommended Torajiro as her "best kept secret" in Chicago. I've eaten at Torajiro almost every weekend since receiving this recommendation and am so glad I discovered this place. The service is friendly and fast and the food is very high quality. Prices here are cheap unless you go all out and order the specials, which I recommend doing at least once. Their basic rolls run $4.50 - $6.95 and their super fancy specials are around $10.00. This is a steal after having once paid $15.00 a roll and $15.00 for a beer at Ai sushi downtown.‎

The sushi and maki rolls were very fresh and delicious. The service was good and the atmosphere was welcoming and familial. Very reasonably priced.‎

My roommate and I went here last week after reading about it on Citysearh.com and we loved it! It will be our number one sushi spot, especially since we only live 3 blocks away from it! We both got different things - she had sushi and I had maki - and we both loved our choices. Very good price, extremely friendly staff, very fresh and 'non-fishy' seafood!! We will be back...possibly tonight! :-)

I can't say enough good things about Torajiro. My husband and I have eaten here so many times it's probably into the hundreds. The sushi chef, Peter, is extremely nice. The food couldn't be fresher or of higher quality, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. The prices are very reasonable, and the "following" is so strong that customers regularly send Peter postcards, which he displays on the walls. HIGHLY recommended.
