Salmon belly nigiri, Tuna sashimi, Spicy tuna roll

Sushi-san’s Willis Tower outpost brings Toyosu-linked fish and a hand roll bar into the Catalog food hall, geared toward fast but serious sushi. Loop workers build bentos from specialty maki, nigiri sets, and sides before or after a Skydeck visit.
Must-Try Dishes:
Nigiri Set (tuna, salmon, hamachi), Spicy Tuna maki, Crunchy Fatty Tuna hand roll
What Makes it Special: Hand roll bar and Toyosu-linked fish program inside Willis Tower’s Catalog.
Worthy Picks
A Loop counter spot that’s built for fast, customizable Japanese comfort—poke bowls and ramen that fit a lunch-break timeline. It shines when you keep the order focused: one build-your-own bowl with a clean sauce strategy or one ramen bowl with a single add-on, rather than stacking extras that muddy the flavors.
Must-Try Dishes:
Spicy roasted garlic ramen, Build-your-own poke bowl, Gyoza
What Makes it Special: Build-your-own poke and ramen that stays fast and lunch-friendly downtown.
