The Serious Eats Sushi Roll
My favorite sushi in the Chicago area -- some of the best sushi I've had outside Japan -- is in the suburbs, a few blocks from the house I grew up in.

In the same shopping center (there's also a Japanese supermarket there) is a takeout fish market that has even better, fresher sushi than the restaurant.
