This is our FAVORITE sushi place. We always compare other spots we have tried to Sushi nest. Their Sushi has always been fresh and delish, service is great too. Very attentive, not overly bothersome and efficient service. The ambiance is lovely too, soft relaxing vibe. We've been there with our kids and have seen other kids there too. (Usually not too many and never "running around or crazy"-so kid friendly but maybe on you to make sure they can handle sitting in a peaceful setting through dinner. Not all kiddos can and that's ok!) You'll get your drink and a bowl of yummy edamame and a warm washcloth before your meal comes. I want to mention this because I feel it's important to remember: People are more likely to write a bad review if they weren't satisfied than a good one if they were. I even read one review on here giving them 2 stars but saying that ALL the other times they went there, it was fantastic but the last time they were disappointed. Wait...WHAT?! So all those other times, did you bother to jump on and write a positive review?-no Anyway, imo-go try them!! If you have a special night and you love sushi-this place makes for a beautiful evening.

While visiting Elmhurst we googled possible sushi dinner spots before heading off to see a movie last Saturday night. Based on selection, atmosphere abd hunch we chose Sushi Nest and are happy to report our fine luck! Upon entrance we were warmly embraced by the waitstaff and shushing chefs. We watched with appreciation the skill the chefs exhibited as the waitress offered suggestions and took our order. Being regular sushi eaters in our home or own we ordered our usual sushi and rolls. Sake and Hamachi Nigiri, a California Roll, a Spider Roll abd. Rainbow Roll and were not disappointed! Fresh delicious fish, soft shell crab tasting sweeter than any we can get in Arizona this time of year and a very generous Rainbow Roll all while being surrounded by caring likable staff! Surely we will be back!

This is the best sushi in Elmhurst. We come here at least once a month. The place is very quiet and cozy. There's a Japanese table that would need a reservation but it's nice to try. The food is really good. Prices are reasonable. Multiple noodle, rice and sushi options. Our favorite is the pink lady roll. Definitely try if in Elmhurst and looking for sushi.

Exceeded my Sashimi expectations and the appetizer Shrimp with sweet and sour sauce was delicious, the ambiance was excellent and the service was right on cue!!! The restaurant is near the famous and beautiful Elmhurst York theatre with it 1930's art secco.

Came by at lunch at another place for sushi in downtown Elmhurst. It has good lunch specials. Sushi Nest has lots of money saving opportunities with these. Get some rolls on the cheap. There's affordable stuff and it's better than gas station kind of quality. A lot of good specials are here at lunch. In we came for a good one. The place wasn't that busy, but thankfully it wasn't a sign. It always has a way to save money. We got the Maki Lunch Special. It's about $14 to pick 2 rolls, any kinds. We got the Cucumber Avocado and the Mixed Vegetables. Of course the rolls could have been bigger. These were still a good amount and enough for a lunch. Got to get back here at lunch and that's the only time I'll come here. It's the best time for coming with all the specials going on. This is good if you need to cheap out but still get some edible and okay sushi.

Local takeout fav. We really enjoy takeout from Sushi Nest and prefer it over the others in the area. While some might suggest there's better sushi elsewhere, when we're craving sushi takeout, quite frankly, I'm not interested or up for a 15-20 min drive. So it's frat to have a solid option close to home. And come to thin of it, it's better than our sushi takeout options in River Forest/Oak Park. What makes SN a jewel? It is consistently of good quality seafood, tasty and reasonably priced. On average, classic rolls are $8-9. Quite frankly, less expensive in the Midwest is rather difficult to fathom (or trust - IMO). One of the unexpected, (at first) but cool freebies, is the edamame. I'm unclear as to the order amount, but with our last two orders, we received free edamame! (Free is written on the outside of container). Yellowtail - 5/5 Spicy tuna - 5/5 (favorite) Tuna - 5/5 Miso soup - 5/5 (soooooooo good!) Edamame- 3/5 (the freebie doesn't have salt & isn't warm but it's good. Especially for FREE). We traditionally order online but calling in is an option too. There's also a dining area. Unclear if they deliver.
