Good Sushi — Restaurant in Lincolnshire

I finally had a chance to stop by this new sushi spot and it was definitely worth it! I came in hungry, so I got to try quite a variety of their selection. I went with the appetizer flight, the beef dinner entre, chef's choice sushi dinner, and topped it off with a couple of hand rolls.

They have a unique appetizer flight that I believe changes daily/weekly. Mine came with 4 different dishes of crab, scallops, shrimp, and seaweed. The crab dish was pretty interesting as eating it required taking the rice ball next to it and mixing it with the raw crab innards. I have never tried anything like this, but it was delicious and fun. The rest of the flight was also well-made and tasty!

Next was the filet mignon dinner. The chef graciously added a special lamb chop with the steak and both were expertly cooked. I wanted medium rare and both meats were made to perfection. The filet had a nice crust and was flavorful and juicy. I'm not usually a fan of lamb, but it was quite tender and went well with the veges.

With the name of the restaurant, I of course had to try their sushi, and it was excellent! The sushi chef was helpful in giving me info about the selection and what would be the best order to eat them in. Everything is extremely fresh and you can tell the quality is levels better than most suburban sushi restaurants.

Last I had two different hand rolls. The spicy octopus and spicy tuna hand rolls were perfect. Whereas most places just douse the seafood in spicy mayo, Good Sushi's hand rolls tasted a lot cleaner. I am not certain, but the hand rolls seemed to be mixed in with what seems to be masago, scallions, and possibly wasabi for the spiciness? I'll have to find out next time what they use, but they were the best hand rolls I've had in a while.

The restaurant isn't too big, and about half of the seats are around the center sushi bar. I enjoyed speaking with the sushi chef and seeing him prepare the plates. Everyone at the restaurant was friendly and came around to see how I was enjoying the experience. The place is fairly new and it shows with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The vibe is relaxed and fairly quiet with light music on, but definitely a place where you can have a conversation while enjoying dinner.

Overall, I had a great experience dining at Good Sushi, and am glad to see a high-quality sushi restaurant I do not have to drive to the city for. I...

Nobu is the only other omakase restaurant I have been too and Good sushi was an even better experience than that! The atmosphere, price, fresh ingredients and excellent staff were all things that stood out. It gave off a fine dining feel without the over embellished feeling one can get from other fine dining establishments.

The appetizer was an amazing way to start the meal. I was presented with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, an oyster shooter and giant homemade dumpling in a delicious broth. Each component of the dish complemented each other and enhanced its counterparts. Every aspect could stand alone and be amazing but I was shocked to see how well it all worked together combined. My favorite had to be the homemade dumpling. It was prepared perfectly and helped bring out the fresh combination of ingredients.

The sashimi platter was the next course and was fresh and delicious. It was hands down the freshest and best quality sashimi I have had in Illinois. I am going back here just for this, it was so good!

We finished off the meal with a filet. I know what you're thinking, steak at a sushi restaurant? YOU HAVE TO TRY IT! It was cooked perfectly and like everything else here, was prepared to let the great ingredients be the star. Anyone who doesn't like sushi or fish will be impressed to come here and order one of the best steaks they've ever had. It was served with a roasted sweet potato, I was stuffed.

I would recommend this hidden gem to anyone, definitely...

Living in the area, I’m always on the lookout for a good sushi restaurant. I have a couple that I go to, and they are good enough to satiate me.

This place though. The ambience is beautiful. The wood and gold is just so pretty. The lights are low enough to be romantic, but not dim enough that you can’t see what you’re eating. There is also a second floor that would be perfect for a girls night out. Secluded and private.

The fish. You come to a sushi place for the fish. It was exceptional here. It was so buttery and smooth. I couldn’t stop eating it. And I wasn’t even sorry I didn’t share. The cuts were generous and thick. I was told the chef goes every morning to pick out the fish, and you can tell. It is top notch. The spicy tuna maki was so damn delicious. I didn’t take a picture because we ate it too fast. Next time!

The dumplings could be a meal of their own. Juicy meat filling dunked in a chili sauce that juuuuuuust leaves a tingle on your tongue. Fabulous!!

I wouldn’t say it’s the best family restaurant. The space is small and intimate. Perfect for date nights and girl friend dates!!! I will be back for carry out and date nights. I’m so glad it is so close to my house! It’s a great addition to...
