Fin Sushi Bar is now open in Ravenswood

Fin Sushi Bar

For most of this winter, the corner of Wilson and Hermitage Avenues has been the site of a sad, unoccupied restaurant space. But seemingly overnight, all that has changed: Fin Sushi Bar, a narrow little restaurant serving Japanese and Thai food, opened March 1.

Fin is owned by Tai Thongthomya, whose family owns dib, a sushi/Thai place on Lawrence. Like dib, Fin's got a sleek, mod look; a menu that boasts creative maki rolls (a honey-walnut roll with shrimp tempura and avocado; a roll stuffed with spinach and roasted duck) and other creative bites (bacon wontons; bacon fried rice); and, perhaps most important, a policy to forever be BYOB.

Fin Sushi Bar, 1742 W Wilson Ave, 773-961-7452.
