Kite Sushi, Chicago

I have long made it my mission to sample as many Sushi delicacies around the Chicago area as my appetite can abide. And recently I have fallen in love with Kite Sushi. Their fish is the freshest and best in quality and their customer service is outstanding. They are more than happy to accomodate special orders and their menu is comprehensive and exciting. No one who eats sushi on a regular basis is going to get the same ol' roll over and over and Kite provides a fantastic mix of classics and the creative.

The one thing that is a little off putting about the establishment is the eternal emptiness inside the restaurant. Whenever dining in the dimly lit and romantic location we have always been oh so very alone in the spacious Lincoln Avenue location. While this makes for quick service and freshly made rolls its also makes you very aware that anything said will be overheard by your gracious servers. Luckily they also deliver and have take away for those long cold Chicago Winters when you don't want to leave the comfort of home for a great meal.

Recommend: Pacific Salmon Roll (Soft, flavorful and decadent), Spicy Chicken Tempura Maki (I usually hate non-fish rolls, but this one was quite a pleasant suprise!)

Steer Clear: Eel (I LOVE Eel, but their sauce is entirely too sweet, such a shame!)
