    Good food, variety of menu is good. The service is terrible; I have been there three times, and will not go back. Service is consistently uninterested and unhelpful. Chicago has too many other options.

    Decor needs a serious update. Pleather is literally flaking off of the chairs. Food was good but not the quality I remember from years ago. Probably won’t go back unless it gets an updated vibe. Also - nearly empty when we dined. Might speak to the quality.

    Hi Dawn, thank you for dining with us and we apologize for not meeting your expectations. We've recently remodeled our restaurant, but the new chairs we had ordered were too low for the tables. We are working to identify new chairs for the restaurant, but realize the current guest experience is not ideal. Thank you for your patience as we finish out the remodel. If you have any further feedback, please email us at the email provided in our private reply

    The food was good very good, but it was too dark inside of the restaurant in certain parts, and the tables were either too small or the plates were too big. I was expecting something a little bit more fancy, but overall the service was good and the food was good but I don’t know what to expect if I should go next time .
    Friends Sushi On StateResponded on September 27, 2023
    Hello Marqus thank you for dining with us and while we are happy to hear you enjoyed our food, we apologize for the seating arrangements. Our hope for Friends Sushi on State to bring a dark and intimate sushi dining experience to River North, but we understand that we can sometimes dim our lights a little too much. We'll bring your feedback to our staff today and ensure we're not diming the lights too much! If you have any additional feedback, please email us in the email provided in our private response!

    Solid Japanese food in Chicago. Enjoyed the chicken teriyaki and miso soup. The salmon skin maki was a bit off, as the salmon skin itself did not have the right texture.
