" Wave Sushi & Sake has quickly become my go-to for sushi in the city! I’ve been here a handful of times now, and each visit has been remarkable. The fish is always incredibly fresh, and the rolls are made with such care. I recently tried the Spicy Bluefin roll, and it was absolutely divine! The atmosphere is perfect for date night, too, with a cozy vibe that allows for intimate conversations. The staff is always welcoming and attentive as well. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in for a casual dinner and was pleasantly surprised! The Dragon roll was a game changer for me. I often find sushi places struggle with balance in flavors, but this place nailed it. My only issue was the din that stole from the ambiance; it could’ve been quieter. However, the staff was delightful, and I could see them working hard to provide good service. I would still return since the food was genuinely good. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Wave Sushi & Sake. While the sushi itself was quite good, I was disappointed with the portion of the sashimi I ordered. It arrived too thin for my liking, almost like a carpaccio. However, the rolls were fantastic; I particularly loved the crispy tofu appetizer. The service was prompt and friendly, which added a nice touch. I might return, but I’ll definitely stick to the rolls next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here last weekend with my family, and it was a great choice! The kids loved the sushi, especially the mango avocado roll. I was impressed by how friendly the staff was. The place has a casual, family-friendly vibe. The portion sizes were appropriate and quite filling. Looking forward to coming back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here with my partner, and we were really happy with our choices. The environment was cozy and inviting. I would advise everyone to try the Roll Combo; it had a wonderful variety of flavors. The service, too, was excellent and prompt. Can’t wait to make it back for another meal. We've definitely found a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The buzz around Wave Sushi & Sake is real! I went on a Saturday night, and it lived up to my expectations. The ambiance, the service, and the quality of food were excellent. The portion sizes were satisfactory, but I felt the big variety of rolls made up for that. Definitely a highlight in Wicker Park sushi scene. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try Wave Sushi & Sake during their soft opening phase, and I was very impressed! The menu is diverse, and what stood out was how fresh everything tasted. The decor is lovely and modern, creating a friendly vibe. I can't recommend the Lychee mocktail enough; it was the perfect refreshing companion to my sushi. I’ve already made plans to bring my family here for a larger gathering. My only minor gripe was that it took a little longer for some orders to come out, but the quality is worth the wait.
