Sea Ranch Sushi is open daily with extended weekend hours.
Nestled between Hinman Avenue and Chicago Avenue on Dempster Street, Sea Ranch Sushi is the perfect spot for a spontaneous treat when your schedule unexpectedly clears up. The best part? It’s a hidden gem that many people don’t even know about.
With most rolls hovering between $5 and $15, the menu offers a mix of beloved classics like California rolls as well as innovative creations waiting to be discovered at an affordable price. It also serves a unique, affordable kitsune udon set, featuring a California roll and delicious warm noodles adorned with fried bean curd.
In addition to sushi, Sea Ranch features a well-stocked Japanese market where you can find everything you need to make sushi at home — from bamboo mats to seaweed sheets to finishing touches like ginger and wasabi.
Whether you’re flying solo or dining with friends, a few indoor and outdoor tables make it a great place for a quick lunch or a casual meal away from your routine.
They offer online ordering for delivery or takeout, and you can even have your order sent directly to Evanston Pour, a nearby coffee shop.
Open daily, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays, Sea Ranch combines quality, affordability and a bit of mystery — perfect for when you’re craving something a little out of the ordinary.
