The BEST way to experience Tanoshii for two people is to order signature "fish and chips" appetizer and 3 Mike's special rolls. (Chefs choice)

Tanoshii is often referred to as serving the best sushi in Chicago for over 13 years, crafting fresh Japanese classics in its bright eatery. For delicious starters signature appetizers "fish and chips" and "truffle rose" are highly recommended.

Tanoshii’s owner Mike Ham who's also a master sushi chef offers dishes renowned for their deft of fresh ingredients, and omakase dishes. Omakase in different words means chef choice. Chef uses fresh fish for the day and uses their creativity to deliver you the best sushi experience.


Tanoshii has been reviewed in the Our Chicago Food Blog and the Chicago Reader. Its welcoming setting features a sushi bar and take-out ser

    I loved the food and service. Each time i have gone into the Andersonville restaurant I get a slight smell of sewer. It is kind of off putting.

    I highly recommend Tanoshii for its excellent selection of delicious appetizers, expertly crafted maki rolls, sushi and sashimi, and udon. It even has wonderful Japanese desserts. It’s also BYO, which makes for a thoroughly enticing meal.

    Tanoshii has been our favorite restaurant for years. I’m sad to say that we may need to find another. I can’t justify $30 per roll.

    The food was ok but not great. We ordered a variety of things that should have come in courses but it all was delivered to the table pretty fast. For a local place, it’s fine. I would not travel too far.
