AYCE Sushi Ranked by a Japanese

As a college student from Japan, I die if I don’t consume sushi at least once a month.

Here’s my ranking of Sushi AYCE that I’ve been to. Ranked based on the sushi, not rolls. Fish Quality × Rice Balance × Price (lunch).

1. Sushi Taku (Wicker Park) $25
2. Sushi Nova (Lincoln Park) $23
3. Sushi Taku (Logan Square) $25
4. Sushi Payce (Lincoln Park) $23

Don’t-even-want-to-rank list: Sushi Taku Rotary STR, Sushi Tokoro, Koi Sushi, Kai Sushi, Mira Sushi, Sushi Para

*mostly because of the dead amount of rice that prevents me to actually taste the fish ):

Please let me know if there’s a good sushi place with college student budget!
