Ukai Japanese Restaurant

Had a birthday lunch there recently. The service was great and the food is amazing. Cozy clean environment with a nice atmosphere. Love the ahi poke .????????

My favorite sushi spot in Lakeview. Highly recommend the Crunchy Spicy Tuna and Beauty & The Beast rolls. Staff is great. Also it's BYOB with no cork fee!

So delicious. Didn’t realize I had been eating meh sushi all over Chicago - everything from the edamame to the sushi tastes so FRESH.

Ukai is my favorite sushi place to go to in Chicago. The quality of sushi is one of the best in Chicago.

Awesome sushi , especially the Godzilla , Beauty and the Beast and the Spicy Crunchy Tuna roll . Tuna Tataki as an app = yum.

Sashimi slices are too big. The flavors would be enhanced if the pieces were cut smaller. Good food, nice atmosphere! Try the sake tori skewer . Be aware of BYOB .

Belinary roll is tops. The strawberry mochi ice cream is such a great way to finish a meal. Very cool atmosphere and awesome staff .

Byob , great value sashimi , beautiful food, romantic spot suitable for a date. No to noodle dishes .

The gomae and spicy miso are rocking! And I'm only at the beginning of my feasting!

Very friendly .. I recommend the HAWKS MAKI !! LUV this place & so close to me!!! :-) Enjoy!!

The Gomae is very good. Done like little sushi roll pieces, not a mess of boiled spinach like most places.

Good udon noodle soup . BYOB wine and beer only, no hard alcohol .

Atmosphere, sushi presentation, service, are all stellar.

Get the Sakura roll - by far the favorite of the rolls we ordered!

Very yummy, good sushi menu and service...

Start with the gomae . You won't taste the spinach , but will taste amazing.

Best miso soup ever! Strong flavor + edamame + foam on top

Love the spicy miso , the Viva Chicago roll, and their green tea ice cream . FYI, it's BYOB .

Try the sushi platter (don't forget the salmon !) it's a tasty deal

Perfect Pairing: Vinho Verde, Gewurtztraminer, Montepulciano, Pilsner , Hefeweisen

Try the sample menu while it last! You won't be disappointed. If not - get the Spicy Tuna roll .

Sox Roll and Pink Lady are the best.

The Godzilla and the BYOBness

Try the pork ramen . It's amazing!

Nice staff ! Must try the spicy miso soup .

Pink Lady is where it's at! Amazing!

cubs sports roll is my fav!!! Read more

Cubs roll or go home!

The tuna salsa dip is unbelievable!

Lovely staff here.

Must Try: Pink Lady

Overrated sushi . Fish isn't that good so they smother it in spice and sauce.
