Kuni's Japanese - Evanston

Here is a long time favorite for sushi in Evanston. It's been around here since the 1980s, so that's a long time for a restaurant. Kuni's Bistro looks like it may not have changed that much in that time. Even though it may look outdated, the food is still fresh. This is like getting old school sushi without all the fancy sauces and some other crazy stuff. A pretty good menu and the prices are a throwback as well, pretty cheap. It has a few Asian beers including Asahi, the most popular one in Japan according to the label. The sushi is the main thing though. It's about $5 for hand rolls. These are like typical sushi rolls except these aren't cut and are thicker. Kind of like a long triangle shape. We got the Avocado and the Veggie Hand Rolls, and these were a pretty good value. Liked these. Packed full of rice and vegetables, in a pretty tough seaweed wrap. Good tasting and good looking. There's also the more common types of rolls. Best place for getting classic styles of sushi without being fancy. It's been around a long time and it's easy to taste why, as well as the good prices. There's a pretty good amount of choices for vegans and vegetarians.

Absolutely amazing sushi!! Such a great spot. Friendly and helpful staff, nice setting, and the food was incredible especially given the VERY reasonable prices!! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area or visiting!

Fantastic traditional sushi. No mayo! The service is friendly and first rate. Sitting at the sushi bar is a fun experience. Come support this Evanston classic.

Ordered on DoorDash. Very very expensive comparing to its very small portion. The uni we ordered was not fresh at all. It smells bad. Would never order again. Overprice and poor quality food.

One of the very BEST!! Been there forever and it's ALWAYS good.When I lived nearby and was a regular customer, they always remembered my favorite items and special requests. Always superior service for EVERY customer.THANK YOU for being such a long-time staple in the neighborhood.
