Fresh sushi that is always tastefully presented and decor is simple but contemporary classy. The service is always timely and attentive. I recommend them ......one of the few spots that haven't completely lost their service chops since COVID.

Best sushi in the city! I have have been a customer for over 10 years and this is my favorite spot for any occasion! The salmon truffle roll is my absolute favorite! The quality and flavor of every roll I have tried here cannot be matched. 10/10

My wife came here a few years ago (pre pandemic) with her work group and was very impressed with the ambience, food and service. Since she is a vegetarian, the chef went out of his way to create a little something special and vegetarian for her. Since then, she's been wanting to take me here and we finally made it here about 3 weeks ago. The service was EXCELLENT. The servers that were taking care of us made sure our water glasses were not empty. The recommendations were fantastic; they knew their stuff really well. As for the food; honestly, I didn't quite think it was out of the ordinary for me. The miso soup had the wakame (YES, FINALLY I SEE WAKAME. RAMEN SHOPS NEED TO USE WAKAME. HAVE YET TO FIND ONE RESTAURANT THAT SERVES WAKAME IN THEIR RAMEN) so that made my day. I ordered the sashimi dinner which was presented BEAUTIFULLY. I did try my wife's vegetarian sushi too; forgive me I forget what it was but it was prepared with utmost beauty. The top had avocado that was PERFECTLY shaped to match the width of the sushi itself so it didn't look sloppy. It had been topped with sesame seeds (nice touch). I think this sushi was probably the best part of the entire meal (and it was recommended by the server) Would I come back again? I am not 100% sure. I almost feel that there are other options that are far less expensive for nearly the same quality of food. Any inputs?

What a lovey and intimate sushi spot! If you can, definitely sit at the counter to soak in the snug and cozy vibe. The food was delightful. We started with the fish & chips appetizer--a playful dish where the server mixed fish and served it on a chip (resembling a tiny pizza). The seared tuna salad was refreshing with a subtle smokiness. Among the rolls, we particularly enjoyed the toro truffle and the shiitake roll. We chose the omakase style and let the chef select our dishes. Just note that the bill is itemized, so you pay for each item rather than a fixed price.

Both my friend and I had Tanoshii bookmarked for a while, so we decided to try it for dinner after shopping in the area. The decor is cozy and it feels very similar to local neighborhood sushi restaurants I would go to growing up. We got two signature rolls - the salmon truffle honey and the shiitake one, as well as some sashimi pieces. The signature rolls were yummy but we felt both the truffle honey and the shiitake mushroom were the stars of the rolls and that these rolls were tailored maybe more for folks who aren't as focused on the raw fish aspect. I thought they were good but I wouldn't order again. Also, we tried the fish and chips and while the raw fish is a generous helping and well seasoned, the chips were stale and just in general not a great vessel for the raw fish. Def would not get again. For sashimi, we got the scallop and some others and I would say scallop was standout. Overall, I would say this is a good place for their regular sushi rolls (better prices) and a neighborhood sushi spot, but I felt the signature rolls were a bit expensive for what they were and I wouldn't come back here anytime soon / go out of my way to go here if I was someone else.

Tried the 2024 Chicago Restaurant Week menu with my best friend. Did a reservation for 515 pm online. We started with the Lychee and Elderflower martinis while we waited for our food. Started with the fish and chips for our First Bite, which came with spicy tuna, pico de gallo, avocado, tobiko, lemon juice; served on a flour tortilla chip. This was a really starter to the entire menu. Our Second Bite came with Ponzu Sashimi and the Bluefin Truffle Sashimi. I preferred the latter but both were really amazing Our Third Bite included the nigiri flight. This came with the following: hamachi + negi | sake + yuzu koshö | maguro + kizami wasabi. All were really good and couldnt put any of them above the other. Our main Special Rolls for the Fourth bite came with the following: - Hamachi, avocado, soy-wasabi sauce, jalapeno - Maguro, avocado, spicy tuna, tempura, baked Japanese chili aioli - Sake, avocado, truffle honey & gochujang sauce - Escolar, avocado, shiitake mushrooms, chive sauce These were incredible. They told us to start with the Hamachi but then anything else after that. I say that was good advice. Ended with the strawberry and mango mochis for dessert. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for Chicago Restaurant Week. The service was great and the menu was pretty good for the price. The ambience could be good for somwthing casual, but can be good for dates and an intimate group. Would definitely like to come back and the full menu.

Came to yet another Asian place in Andersonville. It certainly has quite a few, but this may be the best one. Tanoshii is best known for the great sushi. Basically it's a Japanese restaurant with a full menu, but really the sushi is what people come to get. Prices are pretty good for the portions and quality. Before going we already knew we were getting some of the sushi, and we got to the seats in front of the sushi bar. It's the best seats in the house. There you can see your rolls get made. Cool idea. Everyone talks about how good Chef Mike is, and that's because he's good: he makes some good ass sushi. As for what we got, it was the V-Maki Combi. It's $12 for miso soup and three vegetarian maki rolls. Choose which ones. I got the avocado, cucumber, and oshinko rolls. Good price. There was a lot of food for this. Even though it's best known for sushi, there's other stuff on the menu such as their own version of fish and chips. It's best known for the sushi though. The combos are a good value, and there's lots of options for the fish eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians.

We arrived here about 30 minutes before they were closing with no reservation. They made us wait for a couple minutes. I think she was trying to get the ok to seat us this late in the night. She came back and walked us to our table. We started off with their Gyoza. Pan fried vegetable dumplings that were delicious. These were thinner than what I'm used to but still packed with flavor. We only ordered two rolls for our late night dinner. They're Dragon Roll and their Andersonville Roll. I wanted something with cream cheese and the Andersonville Roll was the only one. It also came with avocado, shrimp tempura, kanikama, unagi and cucumber. The Dragon Roll came with pretty much the same things, except for cream cheese. Both rolls were good as well as the service. I'll definitely be returning.
