Chicago Restaurant Guide

Welcome To Chikurin sushi! Chikurin Sushi is the newest hot spot in Bucktown/Wicker Partk. Located in the strip mall that also houses Cellar Rat, you'll find this modern sushi spot that also dabbles in Thai, Chinese and other Japanese fare. Offering something for EVERYONE! Start with the dynamite mussels, a mixture of baked crab meat and mussels with Japanese hot sauce stirred in. Other house specialties include fresh Chinese-style lobster, stir-fried with ginger and spring onions, and traditional Thai curry dishes, along with stir-fried noodle favorites like pad Thai. But the real focus here is the sushi, with maki such as the red dragon (soft-shell crab and cucumber, topped with tuna, avocado and chili-tampico sauce) or the green turtle (freshwater eel with avocado and tempura crunch, topped with shrimp and wasabi mayo). The Volcano and Godzilla are the owner's favorite! House-made desserts and a host of specialty drinks from the bar are also available. This is a new hot spot you don't want to miss! See you soon at Chikurin Sushi!
