Sushi Samba Rio
504 North Wells Street, downtown Chicago, Illinois
I recently celebrated my second visit to Sushi Samba in Chicago. My first trip to the city brought me there, a fusion restaurant with energy, color, and sound. This isn’t a place for haute cuisine, but it is for having fun, trying to flavors, and enjoying yourself.
This time around, it was busy on a Saturday night, loud, and the ambiance, electrified. I tried one of their tuna-roll specials, the Kobe beef appetizer, and their crab “Pacific” roll. Two of us had the molton chocolate cake for dessert. Other diners enjoyed teriyaki chicken and another fish roll.
I think to understand this place you need to take into consideration the ambiance and the environment. It’s dedicated to combining bold flavors, unusual food, and some good, flavorful offerings in a dynamic, hip space.
Their menu is divided up into several categories, such as aperitivos, small plates, samba rolls, large plates (entrées), and side dishes. All of these categories are nice in that you can pick and choose smaller items to put together a combination of things to your liking.
Reservations were easy to get, even 5 days ahead. A full bar, and a menu of flavors will likely entice many young adults who favor fusion cuisine amid loud music and a colorful, modern backdrop.
