About this spot
Komorebi Sushi delivers the authentic, no-frills sushi experience that locals crave on North Milwaukee Avenue, serving crisp nigiri and perfectly seared toro without the tourist trap markup. The counter seating offers an intimate view of the chef's precise knife work while you enjoy a bowl of hot miso soup to warm up against the Chicago chill.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the otoro sashimi first as it melts in your mouth before getting too cold from the room temperature.
- Ask for extra wasabi if you want to cut through the richness of the fatty tuna and yellowtail.
- Skip the pre-arrival reservation; walk-ins are welcome and often get a seat at the counter immediately.
