Cuisine: Asian, Japanese, Sushi

Price: $$

10Best Says

With three locations, Coast is known for its high quality sushi coupled with outstanding service. Weekends can get loud and very busy, especially at its city locations. The Bucktown hotspot (BYOB) features a warm and sexy interior while its South Loop locale is a bit more stark and modern in ambiance. Its Evanston spot gives North Shore diners many of its signature dishes including its popular Coast Crab maki roll which features king crab, scallion in spicy mayo with tempura crumb or the White Dragon roll with shrimp tempura, wasabi tobiko, avocado and cream cheese. For those craving more traditional fare, the menu rounds out its maki roll and sashimi options with dishes like seared tuna, filet mignon and Yakisoba stir-fried noodles with fresh vegetables.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Jamie Bartosch
Chicago Local Expert

Japanese: "Only the Bucktown location is BYOB. The other spots have a full bar."

Best for Japanese Because: The White Dragon Roll perfectly blends a tiny bit of spicy with a wasabi mayo sauce on top with a sweet/salty shrimp tempura inside.
