Our Top Pick
Q Sushi Bar & Omakase
Omakase-led sushi with premium fish and a polished, modern room.
Notable Picks
8.7
A Ravenswood omakase-minded room where the focus is clean cuts, careful seasoning, and a tasting-menu flow that’s designed to feel indulgent without being stiff. It shines when you commit—go omakase, add one premium nigiri upgrade if offered, and let the pacing do its job.
Must-Try Dishes:
Omakase tasting menu, Otoro (fatty tuna) nigiri, Uni (sea urchin) nigiri
What Makes it Special: Omakase-led sushi with premium fish and a polished, modern room.
8.2
A Lincoln Square standby that mixes creative maki with a broader Japanese menu—ramen, skewers, and small plates—so the table can zigzag without losing momentum. The move is to anchor the meal with one signature roll, add one hot item, and let the happy-hour mindset do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dragon roll, Tonkotsu ramen, Chef’s choice nigiri/sashimi set
What Makes it Special: A sushi-and-ramen hybrid that keeps roll creativity and hot-food comfort in balance.
