Umi Sushi by Weight, located at 60 East Jackson Boulevard, bills itself as Chicago's first pay-by-weight sushi concept. Instead of ordering from a set menu, guests assemble their own plate — a few rolls, a mix of nigiri, or a fuller spread — and pay based on what they take. Everything is made fresh daily.
The format suits both a quick solo lunch and a larger custom order, with seating on the smaller side. Regulars point to the freshness and value of the build-your-own model as the draw.
