Wajo Sushi

My fiancé and I went here over the weekend and it was amazing! The sushi is so fresh and super filling. The protein to rice ratio was great. We ordered Scallop deluxe roll, Spicy crab crunch special, Salmon special roll, and Volcano deluxe roll. We definitely will be coming back! The owners were so sweet and welcoming. It's not all you can eat, but the sushi quality is amazing and reasonably priced. I highly recommend!

As a longtime sushi enthusiast, I can confidently say Wajo Sushi in Wheeling is a hidden gem that deserves way more attention. I’ve driven by this place countless times, and I’m so glad I finally stopped in. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, intimate, clean, and authentically Japanese without feeling pretentious. The sushi quality is exceptional!! Fresh, beautifully presented, and crafted with precision. I was thrilled to see they use REAL CRAB MEAT instead of imitation crab in some of their rolls, something that’s almost impossible to find these days. Their Soft Shell Crab Jumbo Roll was absolutely divine with the tempura texture was perfectly crisp while the inside remained tender and flavorful. You can tell the chef takes true pride in balancing texture, flavo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🤯 What an incredible find! Wajo Sushi in Wheeling has officially become one of my favorite Japanese sushi restaurants in the northwest suburbs. You can taste the difference in every bite and this is not your average sushi spot. The fish is unbelievably fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and the attention to detail makes it feel like a true Tokyo-style sushi bar. The biggest surprise? They serve real crab meat! The soft-shell crab hand roll was also outstanding! Light, crisp, and packed with flavor. Every piece of sushi here has that perfect balance of freshness, texture, and artistry. Whether you’re ordering sashimi, nigiri, or one of their creative signature rolls, you’re in for something special. If you love authentic sushi in Wheeling or you’re just craving real sushi,

we ordered miso soup, house salad, shrimp tempura, and a chicken teriyaki single. All of the food was delicious. The Chicken teriyaki was a little dry for my taste but thats because i love fries with my ketchup like i like chicken with my teriyaki sauce! so this comment is not meant to be a negative comment. It’s more meant to be descriptive. The shrimp tempura’s breading is more corse than other places but again definitely not a negative. just describing. My favorite part though is what is shown in the picture! THANK YOU for the note! I loved it!!!!

Had lunch with some friends at Wajo Sushi before a road trip and we started off strong with the crab rangoon which came with a sweet and spicy gochujangy sauce and my favorite: the crispy jalapeno bomb. Then the rolls came out presented beautifully and blew our minds. The Julia roll had smoky seared salmon topped with crab and was my favorite. We also ordered the cheese crunch which was intriguingly topped with cheeto dust and irresistable. The salmon, eel, and all the fish tasted fresh and delicious and the service from the owners themselves was delightful as well. Can't wait to come back when I have the chance!
