Sushi Kushi Toyo

Food was excellent. I had the Ramen with miso base. The broth was delicious & noodles firm. Service was a little slow as I received my Ramen before the rest of our party & I had to ask for tea a few times before I was finally brought a pot. Server was swamped & apologized for the delay. Cute place with delicious food. Great place for a relaxed no rush meal

Decided to check this place out since it was recommended by (I guess) an influencer group that my family was checking out. If you're coming in from Waukegan Rd the entrance opens up from the South by the Fannie May. Walking in feels like being whisked off into a different world by its dim lighting and covered glass followed by a menu without any pictures. If this is your first time eating sushi you won't know what you want, but a combination plate will give you a pretty good representation. I had the hamachidon, which was 10 pieces of Yellowtail, a tender, light pink slab in a bowl of white rice with ginger and some spicy wasabi with a bowl of salad. Before you look for the pricing on that, I have regrets. It was delicious, but I'm still hungry. The taste of the sushi rice rivals Blufish's Chirashi Don, but I know which restaurant to head to for my fill at similar prices. Service was quick. We arrived an hour before rush hour for dinner. There's barely any walking space by the entrance, so don't get stuck waiting to enter. Their free WiFi is inexplicably fast. It doesn't seem necessary but I bet the place could be converted into a video game cafe.

We had a very good first experience at Sushi Kushi Toyo! We have made an effort to try as many restaurants that serve Japanese Curry as possible, and this one did not disappoint! The curry sauce was savory with a touch of spice. The chicken katsu was fried perfectly, crisp on the outside and juicy chicken on the inside. I will say that I missed the typical addition of fukujinzuke (pickled vegetables) with the curry and next time I would ask for a side of potato salad or shredded cabbage to balance the meal. We also ordered sushi - Double Dragon and Nagoya. Both were fantastic and we would definitely order those rolls again. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

The Japanese curry with pork katsu and rice is the best!! Seen the dish in anime and always wanted to try it and boy this place doesn't disappoint. Mango icecream (sherbert) was great as well. The lunch pricing is fair and the waiter we had was great. A must try and favorite of mine and I don't live in IL.

We were there around 7 pm, and it was a waiting line. There is no wait list, and the hostess took a couple who arrived after us before us. When I pointed out that she apologized, but the mood was set. The waitress was very nice and helpful. We tried a few sushi rolls, and per my taste, the rice was a little bit dry. The mist soup was good, but the tofu was cold. It took a few minutes to warm up. Butter mussels were very good - recommended. We'll try the place again, maybe for lunch.
