    Always BYOB! Definitely try the Tipsy Trixie and Southern Gals! I also love the OH My God roll! Their sashimi is always fresh and the size is pretty generous!

    Let me tell you a secret: the best sushi in Chicago. It's a small little place, but I assure you - anything you order here will be delicious. On top of that, it's BYOB and the staff is super awesome.

    Sit at the sushi bar and get to know the famous, “Mitch”! Order the “Oh My God” roll and then let him pick another. The best sushi place in Chicago.

    Volcano roll is amazing. Crunchy and a little spicy for salmon lovers. Tuna Nigiri is so fresh and delicious

    Mitch is awesome. He surprised our party with a roll that isn't on the menu. The Eel is fresh and tasty. Great place for sushi BYOB

    Just like everyone is saying: Best sushi in chicago. Guess it isnt rated higher because there is always a line and the space itself is tiny. Always worth the wait though.

    Try the Chirashi - So gorgeous! And a fantastic deal. While we usually come to Toro for Chef Mitch's inventive sushi rolls, this is an absolute must-try.

    Get there before 5:45 and you get seated right away. After 5:45, prepare yourself for a long wait. Thankfully, the DOC Wine Bar is just down the street and Toro calls you when your table is ready.

    Best is the Kamikadze roll. BYOB, and simply the best sushi on this side of the pacific ocean!! Owner Mitch also makes sushi by himself behind the bar.
