One of my favorite restaurants. Food is so good! My two favorite rolls are the mountain and angel hair. The all you can eat in unbeatable value and it's not buffet style it's made when you order. I also love the shrimp tempura app. Service is friendly and attentive. I can't say enough great things about this place.

5th Avenue Sushi is a restaurant that has sushi similar to Sushi Para, decor similar to Sun Shui, and plating similiar to Sushi Ai. Its ingredient quality is similar to those of better sushi restaurants in the area (although the vegetables could be a little more crisp and fresher - but I'm probably spoiled by going to Sushi Para) but the flavor combinations are better designed and uses less sauce than most other similar restaurants in the area. The area in which this restaurant really shines is presentation. Both the plating and the design of the rolls is beautiful. The dining room is also spacious and comfortable with a city-like feel to it. The thoughtful design even extends into the washroom with modern materials used throughout to give it a chic feel. The service was also prompt and friendly. The food comes in generous portions at good prices. When my group came here for lunch we got appetizers such as shrimp chips and edamame and then either salad with miso dressing or miso soup and seaweed salad to accompany the meal. It was very nice to get so many extras for a lunch that was inexpensive for Japanese. The frying here is very good so make sure you try dishes that contain items such as shrimp tempura, fried soft shell crab, fried squid, etc. Overall, this is another great sushi addition to the area and a great place to take friends where I know they'll enjoy the atmosphere and food as well.

For $21 all you can eat sushi and appetizers, it is a great deal. However I couldn't really taste the fish because of the high ratio of rice to fish. It's the only sushi joint I know of in the area that is BYOB: $0.50/bottle which isn't too bad of a corking fee. They also have cocktails for $6.50 and a selection of beer. There is a buy one get half off deal on signature rolls from 11am-3pm. Service was very attentive. Mediocre sushi joint, come hungry to take advantage of the all you can eat! The ambiance is kind of weird a lot of chandeliers but this by no means a dress up place. I shall return.

Sushi here is amazing! All you can eat sushi for $18.65 is totally worth it! It's not like any all you can eat sushi in those buffets. I'd recommend it to anyone for the price and the fact that you can see your sushi being made before the counter is even better. Their music choice is so on point too!
(5)Randy T.
My NEW favorite Sushi place, way better then sushi para. The staff is very nice and always checks on you if you need anything. The sushi is fresh and cost is affordable !
(5)Seely L.
They done it again made this place Evan better the updated there all you can eat now with every roll you order on the all you can eat you can get 3 sashimi with this this is by far the best deal so don't miss this come in and try and the service was great as always
(5)Eugenia C.
One word Amazing! All around best from atmosphere to service and top notch food. Definitely a hidden gem.
(5)My T.
I read some of the reviews where they gave 1 star not bc of food but bc of service. Specifically, bc they had to pay for left overs at an all you can sushi joint. Give me a break! Yeah, let's order 50 dollars worth of sushi and take it home. Ridiculous! Honestly, how many all-you-can-eat places will let someone take food home? FYI, all sushi places I've ever been to, in this state or the next, with all-u can-eat have the same policy. I'm not from the area. I tried and liked it bc a lot of the other sushi places around here close down their lunch around 2:30 and my sushi craving hit around 2pm. The house sake was good. The rolls were spot on. I completed plenty of work emails in the time I was there. It's a tough restaurant market. Everywhere you look a restaurant hangs on the corner. They hold their own despite this. Maybe it's not the busiest, but the atmosphere, manager, and waitress were tentative, timely and food taste was quality over quantity. Give them a try and we go from there.
(5)Liliya S.
The service was super fast, very courteous staff, nice atmosphere. I was offered a deal buy one, get one 50% off.
(5)Alina D.
One star. If I could give 1/2 I would. Now Im giving 1 star not for the quality of food or service of staff, but how the business is ran. I came there once before... Didnt want to leave a negative review then. Thought maybe it was a bad time. But two "bad times"... Poor experience twice! - Im sorry but Im leaving a bad review this time for sure! Maybe the food is great, maybe on regular day the place is nice and food gets served within the first two hours *rolling my eyes*, but today - Valentine's Day, I brought my son (11 y.o.) for dinner (gave 5th Ave Sushi a second chance) but excuse me... The experience was unacceptable! AGAIN! It was so busy there, that we waited for our food for over 1 hr and 30 mins and still it was not in process of hapening, so we cancelled our order and left. HUNGRY! Oh yeah we did get apetizers, kids soda and unlimited green tea, for which we paid something like $15... Left $20 on the table even tho it wasnt worth $5 tip just to get out of there as quick as possible! On the other hand the carry out orders were done pretty fast, and poor dine-in customers just sat and sat and waited and waited! Never I will return there again, even if they offer to dine for free. Now today was supposed to be special... Waisted 2.5 hrs in a crazy place and left without dinner. Saw many other families leave with small children as well, as they were starting to cry because they were hungry! What a Valentine's Day Dinner! Sorry dont have pics of their food to post coz we never got any!

Enjoyed the sushi for the price paid. BYOB. Customer service disappointing. After we ordered sushi and ate it (suggest no more than 3-4 rolls), we were enjoying tea and conversation when the server asked us to leave as there were more people waiting. We looked around and spotted 4 other open tables. Made us feel rushed, unwelcome and put a dent on otherwise pleasant experience. Try mango tango, but go somewhere else if you want to enjoy conversation with friends.
(3)Rosie S.
Food is good, but the service was horrible. I feel like I was in the twilight zone leaving this place last night. The customer service was horrific. We ordered a few rolls, and then decided to give it a 2nd round and order some more. After waiting for 30 minutes for our 2nd order, I asked the waitress if we could please have our food to go because it has been 30 minutes since we have been waiting for this order and over 1 hour since we have been in the restaurant. The waitress was not happy with me and brought over the Manager who wanted to charge me $39 for the leftovers I wanted to take. That is almost double the price for one person to eat the all you can eat deal. We began to explain that we had been waiting way too long now and had to go. We had 2 kids with us and it was snowing and we couldn't wait indefinitely for them to bring us this order. They didn't even start making it yet and it was 30 minutes later!!! We went back and forth with them and they would not budge on the price of the left overs. They were rude, yelling and they didn't care that we had been sitting with no food for over 30 minutes and that we just needed to leave already. All we wanted was to actually eat something for the $20/person we had to pay. We barely ate anything!! I have never seen such rude business people. Do not recommend going to this place, there are other sushi buffets that are just as good and value their customers.

Great staff, all you can eat is 15% off, sushi is pretty good, mom n pop run place. Very inviting.

How does this place have a four star overall rating?! Yelp failed me with this restaurant. I went with my mom. For a birthday dinner and we did all you can eat sushi. Well, that's what I thought we did. In reality it was more like all you can eat rice. The sushi minimal amount of sushi they put in the roll was not fresh. It tasted fishy. The one time the waitress asked how the food was I told her honestly that the fish I was pulling,out was too tough to even chew. She responded "oh yeah the yellowtail" and just walked away. I am by no means new to sushi and this is not how it is supposed to taste. Since we already ordered all you can eat, we switched to the appetizers hoping they would be better. But they weren't that great either. Later that night I had a bad tummy ache and some other symptoms you probably don't want to know about... So did my mom. It just didn't sit right. So do yourself and your stomach (and palate) a favor and stay away from this place. If you need AYCE go to Sushi Grove in Buffalo Grove. The same price with a better atmosphere and fresh fish. I should have known by the lack of diners that the fish here would be old.
(1)Victoria W.
The rice of my sushi tasted terrible, maybe not enough vinegar? Not sure what had gone wrong. I ordered shrimp tempura for my appetizer but it had 1 piece of shrimp in it and 2 pieces of vegetables. Seriously? there was an option for vegetable tempura, why did my shrimp tempura had more vegetables than shrimp? Also the shrimp tempura was very dry. Fried calamari was not good, too greasy. House salad was hard to finish, too much sauce. The fish was not very fresh here. No sashimi on the buffet. Was really looking forward to some shrimp chips, which they bring out shrimp chips and edamame to every guest to visits but the shrimp chip was bitter. 21.99 with 15% off the buffet because they are new in town. The only positives here are that nice ambiance and very friendly service.
(2)Henry T.
Best sushi I've had in a while! I ordered the sushi buffet and I definitely got my money's worth. The unagi (eel) was still nice and warm when it got to the table, and the sushi rolls were unbelievably filled with flavor. Each roll tasted different, rather than the same fishy mush. I don't remember which rolls I got besides the Mango Tango, and you may be thinking what? Mango in sushi sounds gross! But, honestly it was so delicious after every single piece. So in conclusion: 1. All you can eat sushi is affordable and the variety of rolls and nigiri allow for endless variety in orders. 2. Environment is great. The warm toned lights and colored ceiling really adds to the genuine aesthetic. Also bathrooms are nice and clean. 3. Service is great! Owners were very polite and tentative. Make sure to tip because I know from experience that making sushi/waiting tables is no easy job! I hope you all try this place next time you swing by the area. Definitely worth the price!

I am back to this place again, and I probably had about 40 pieces without leaving a single sushi roll on my plate. I know how much I can eat so that's not a problem. :D (by the way, I'm a 5' 2'' tall female in 20s and I'm not overweight) I should probably change my career as a food fighter and make my own program called "woman vs. sushi". My husband and I are in DC now so it's really sad that I can't go to this place as often as I can, but now I can at least update my favorite sushi place's review. I'm pretty surprised that some of yelp reviewers here don't read the rules when it's clearly written on their menu.. I can assure you all that this restaurant is definitely worth much more than 1 star. And those people who had issues with servers and the restaurant owner, this would not happen if you communicated with them BEFORE it happened. 1. For sushi buffet or any kind of buffet place, you CANNOT take your leftovers. It would be really silly if I went to Old Country Buffet, took 4 of 5 beef steaks and tried to take them for to go. Buffet noobs please read this. 2. I CLEARLY saw "you will be charged for any leftover food from buffet orders." When I visited this place first time, my husband's best friend thought we wouldn't be charged for some chunks of rice but I asked the server because I wasn't 100% sure. Any leftover food, including chunks of rice that was taken off from sushi, will be charged (this doesn't apply for non-buffet orders) I try to respect people who provide good service and food. There are things that this restaurant needs to fix though. The restaurant's chefs probably need to make sushi different (much better quality) if they make sushi for non-buffet customers (as they pay more money for less sushi). Also, they need to find out how to make sushi fast if the restaurant is crowded with buffet people. Since this restaurant's buffet-style sushi rolls are not pre-made and waiting for customers in advance, I would avoid having buffet lunch/dinner during peak time (11:30am-1:30pm and 6-8pm)
(5)Mallory Z.
So many all you can eat rolls to choose from! Appetizers are included too. The rolls are great. They don't cut any corners with the all you can eat. Our sever was friendly and attentive. Not much more to say. Come hungry and leave happy.

I love sushi. I also love to eat, a lot. No, seriously, a lot. You can understand why all you can eat sushi would be so appealing to me, especially nested right in my backyard. Brand new, the staff (Angie specifically) were extremely attentive. I took my seat at the sushi bar, and reviewed the plethora of offerings on the all-you-can-eat menu. The appetizers are very small, like mini tapas plates. I had the house salad, the seaweed salad and the edamame to start, and proceeded to order roll, after roll, after roll. Volcano, good. Summer, refreshing. Mango tango, yummy! Natoro, fresh and crisp. Pacific, incredible. Spider-Man, fantastic texture. Godzilla, epic. I passed on the dessert- though, oddly enough, I could have eaten it. Angie, my server, was very helpful in making recommendations, though she doubted the elasticity of my belly initially, she now knows. She kept me paced, and made me laugh and kept me nourished. The chefs were fast, but also personable, checking in between orders, and presenting beautiful and delicious rolls Overall great service, great value, great sushi. I'm so glad I've a place to practice my gluttony :)

I love this place! I will never go back to sushi para again. Their tuna is so good it melts in your mouth unlike some other sushi places where it's very rough and chewy! Highly recommend this place the staff is wonderful also :)

5th Ave Sushi is the BEST sushi restaurant I have ever been to. The "all-you-can-eat" is my favorite. It includes all of the sushi and nigiri they have on the regular menu, as well as most appetizers and ice cream. Sashimi is not included, but they offer a deluxe sashimi platter with an ice sculpture and led lights for $21, and it's beautiful! This is a regular lunch and dinner spot for my friends and I. The service here is amazing, and you never have to decide if your glass is half empty or full, because it's always entirely full to begin with. I've seen a lot of people complain about the $1 a piece for leftover on the "all-you-can-eat," and I have to side with the restaurant on this one. The "all-you-can-eat" is just that.... ALL YOU CAN EAT. If you order more than you can actually eat, you get charged. It's that simple-- and it says so on the menu. You can't come in, order a lot, and take it home for later for free.... That's not how it works, and that's the policy for all sushi restaurant with an "all-you-can-eat" menu. I recommend ordering 1 or 2 rolls at a time, and no more. That way you can more properly pace yourself. The waitresses are very pleasant, and will take care of any problems or concerns you may have. People with dietary restriction and/allergies get special attention, and their food is made separate from everyone else's. If you have any, just tell your waitress, and she'll take care of you. The quality of the food is AMAZING, no exaggeration! everything is made fresh to order, with many substitution options (i.e. brown rice, soy paper, etc.). If you ever sit at the sushi bar to watch them make the sushi, you'll see how sanitary and perfect everything looks! I was in awe. I definitely recommend this place to everyone, especially sushi lovers! You won't find another place this perfect for the price!

Our favorite sushi place (NARI) closed earlier this year and we have been looking for a new sushi place. Multiple members of our family have eaten here and raved about it, so we figured we'd give it a shot. I wanted to eat here twice before reviewing this place, allowing us to try multiple different rolls. Our first visit we really enjoyed the service and the drinks. The rolls were hit and miss. Upon leaving we took a to-go menu with us to read more about their rolls and keep track of what he liked and what we'd want to try.on our next visit. Our second visit was similar in the fact that the service and drinks were fantastic. Only the 6 rolls we ordered were ALL fantastic. We loved every last bite and it solidified that we have found our new sushi place! The only negative about this place is at sundown the right side of the restaurant can become blinding if you're facing west, They need more blinds...

$7 for a pot of green tea!!!!!!!Yikes!!!!!

I've had a chance to take out sushi a couple of times over the past few weeks and have been pleased with my orders. They serve a generous portion of fish and avocado in the roll. Very fresh! I am looking to try some other rolls to provide additional feedback. So far I am a fan.
(3)Shannon L.
Mango tango slays my life. The external view of the restaurant does no justice for the aesthetically pleasing interior of the establishment. Every staff member I have come across has been nothing short of kind and attentive. Cold edamame was the only negative aspect of my meal. Better ingredients, better sushi, 5th Ave!

It pains me to write this review, I was a regular customer and frequented this place many times. But I will never set foot in this place again. We were dining tonight in a party of 7 and ordered the usual all you can eat special. The sushi is decent for an all you can eat and we've never really had a problem...until tonight. I saw my sister pull something out of her mouth and to her dismay, it was a chard of plastic. It was about half the size of a pinky nail with quite sharp edges. She was very lucky she had not swallowed it. She brought this to the attention of the staff and the owner came over and looked like she really didn't have a clue as to how to deal with this. She said "sorry about that" and that was about the end of it. Because we are very familiar with her, we left it up to her to take care of it in her own way. However, when the bill came, nothing was taken off, no further mention of it was made. I asked for clarification of the bill and the server indeed said that nothing had been done. I didn't want to make a scene but I was infuriated at this point and said that if there is any foreign object in a meal, something must be done about it. The server went back to the owner and after about 10 minutes, she came back and said, "we took 25% off of your sister's meal". Sadly, there is already a 15% discount for everyone that walks in the door so the extra 10% off amounts to about $2. My wife and I have come to this place over 10 times and spent over $500 at this establishment. Our party alone tonight spent over $150 on this ill gotten meal. I was so insulted I could hardly breathe. So in saving herself $18 by not comping my sister's meal, she lost us as customers and any customers she'll lose through this review and by us telling this story over and over again. I used to be in the food service industry and it's a no brainer to comp a meal if there's something found in it. What makes this worse is that she knows us and we've brought in a ton of business as well. This philosophy of the owner reflects how little she cares about the big picture and hints at a culture of cutting corners. Penny wise and pound foolish. What else is she skimping on? How reluctant is she to throw out fish that's going bad? It's obvious the bottom line is much more important than the safety of her customers. In conclusion, for your safety and peace of mind, I recommend not throwing away your hard earned money here. If you look, the reviews here are quite wide ranging which is troublesome. On the fence about trying this place out? No brainer, stay away. If you are a loyal customer, hope this opened your eyes to what can happen to you. My sister was very lucky today but someone else may not be in the future.

Don't know what all the great reviews were about. I have had this bookmarked for a few months to try, but I was really disappointed. The all you can eat sushi is pretty lame. The appetizer seaweed salad was barely a forkful. The edamame was cold and the miso soup tasteless. Now for the rolls??? There was so much rice that you could not taste the fillings. The small amount of sushi that was in the roll was by no means fresh. There was no value in the all you can eat as the service was so poor by the time they returned to ask if we would like to order more, we had sat there thinking we should cut our losses. Our server/manager/owner? asked how we found the food and when I replied (respectively) that we were a bit underwhelmed and found the rolls had too much rice and the edamame cold the response was "oh" and she walked away. Later that evening my guest and I both experienced stomach issues--wonder about our suspicions about fish freshness? With so many other great sushi restaurants nearby, I think I'll pass.

I LOVE 5th Avenue Sushi! I am very picky about my sushi and this place did not let me down. I have tried other restaurants that offer the "All you can eat" specials and they all delivered food that was less than great so I was nervous to come here. My sister raved to me about it so I had to give it a try and I am so glad I did! To start, the staff is so friendly and welcoming. They told me about all of the specials and weekly promotions they offer. It is BYOB which was really nice, as most sushi restaurants don't offer many choices. When the food came it was fresh and tasted exactly like if not better than the restaurants I have gone to and paid double. Side note, the crab rangoons were better than any chinese restaurant I have ever gotten! I have never been so happy with everything I've ordered and will definitely make this my new go to sushi spot.

It is obvious by their business model they are trying to take down Sushi Para. They will fail. I went in by myself on a Thursday evening for a quick dinner, and the place was empty, maybe two other tables were occupied. Service was mediocre at best for a place that was so empty. The food came out quickly, I will give them that though. They are an AYCE sushi "buffet" with a large menu and $21.95/person. The inside is very modern and trendy looking, and there is ample seating. Their sushi bar was small and had several seats in front of it. When I sat down, there was edamame at the table and I wasn't sure if it was for me, or if it was leftover from another party, so I didn't touch it. Service was not that great for a place that was so empty. I had to wait awhile for someone to come take my order sheet from me, however, the food itself came out quickly. I was INCREDIBLY disappointed with the food. Probably some of the worst sushi I have ever had, including sushi from Pei Wei and Jewel. I knew if I didn't eat it, I would still have to pay, and I would rather eat and pay, than waste food and money. The fish was all very fishy tasting, and lacked any palatable flavor besides fish. They put way too much sauce on all of the rolls that required sauce, and the rolls that were supposed to have tempura crunch on them didn't have any crunch at all. I ordered one roll that had something on top, I am pretty sure it was the Volcano roll, and I thought it was going to have all the ingredients wrapped on top of the roll nicely, but instead, it was everything almost pureed together into some sort of abomination of sauce and fish. Nothing tasted fresh and I had to scarf my food down in order to bring myself to finish. I was so upset because all of the Yelp reviews seemed great and the menu looked amazing online. Unfortunately, it wasn't up to snuff. For less than what they charge, I could have gone to Sushi Para and eaten fresher tasting stuff that I would have been willing to wait for. I'm glad I gave this place a chance, but I was very disappointed in the overall experience.

Even better than any of the reviews mentioned! Super friendly staff, great prices, great food... If you like sushi, and lots of it, this is a place to visit. Btw appetizers are included in the all you can eat.
(5)Kevin M.
Srs. Great sushi the whole atmosphere was great and relaxing. The presentation of the sushi was so artistic. All the employees where nice and helpful. It was the first time here and our waitress explained all of their menu and specials and was very helpful. They have an awesome drink list and happy hour special !! The restaurant is modern and clean. I highly recommend it !
(5)Andrea B.
I was so excited to try this place from all the reviews I read and let me say wow, I have never been so disappointed. The sushi was pretty good but that's not why I gave this place such low rating. The customer service was horrible and by horrible I mean horrendous. (In case you don't want to read my long rant I will be more then happy to summarize it. We came. We ate. Manager/owner (not sure) was so rude. Wanted to charge 1$/left over piece. We wanted to take the left overs to not waste food. Pay bill (after 30 min altercation) waitress comes over grabs our take out boxes of good sushi and throws it out in front of us). They had no remorse. Poor hungry people in the world. My friend and I had left overs after the all you can eat and it was clearly the end of the world for our waitress and manager. Since this wasn't our first rodeo we were aware that we would have to pay for some kind of fee. I was so full but I really wanted the left overs because I would be hungry again in an hour or two and I would of loved to eat them and bring some home for my roommate. 1. After making it seem like the end of the world the waitress said I have to talk to the manager about ur left overs, we were a little confused but said okay. 2. She disappeared into the back with our sushi for a solid 10-15 min (this was alarming. Why was our food missing for so long?) 3. She came back with everything packaged- this was annoying. My friend and I were going to two different places why was there one box when we had not even asked for it to be boxes at this point. 4. Waitress proceeded to drop the box on our table and said "ok, additional 20$". You should of seen our faces. 5. We said no and asked for the manager 6. Manager came over and flipped out, yelling at as asking why we don't want to pay the bill. We calmly explained we are more then happy to pay the bill bc we eat and we are not skipping out on the bill. The issue was Us being charged $1/left over piece which we felt was a lot. We explained that other places charged a flat fee vs a monetary amount per piece. 7. The manager then looked at us saying I've seen you here before you know the rules. For starters this was a "grand opening" and I shleped from the city and my friend and I had NOT ever been there. This was our first time and we were super excited to try it Fast forward 20 min She said she will wave the fee but next time we know the rules. We politely said there would not be a next time because she had been so rude, and needs to reassess the meaning of customer service. Semi long story short they brought us the bill we paid for our all you can eat sushi dinner. And then the waitress came over picked up our left over boxes and threw them out right in front of us. I WAS LIVID. They made such a big deal of us wasting food (which we weren't we really wanted the left overs) and then in the end they threw out 2 1/2 worth of rolls. This really upset me. I didn't want to waste the food and was willing to pay a flat fee for the left overs. There are hungry people out there and just to prove a point they threw everything out.
(1)Rusty S.
This is by far the worst all you can eat place I have been to. The proportion of fish to rice is terrible. I have never seen a tomago cut in half and served over their huge blob of rice! When we took a bit of rice off they charged us a dollar potter piece of rice. This WILL be the last time I ever come here! Just terrible.
(1)Amelia I.
Lets just start by saying its one of the all you can eat sushi places that we ALL know will charge you for left over sushi. That is NOT a reason for people to be bashing this place! You chose to overestimate your appetite, not the chef who expertly made your noms. Okay rant done. I've read a lot of negative reviews about this so I avoided it for a few sushi date nights until finally I'm was like lets try this place! First impression is that its big and the decor confuses me a bit. The little chandelier lite and the mural kinnda went two different ways for me. BUT I dont care what the place looks like as long as its clean! We were promptly approached by a waitress (I think she may be the owners wife, she seemed more invested than just a waitress) who asked if we wanted the AYCE. HECK yes I do! We sat by the sushi making station and watched them prepping and rolling. I was a little disappointed it was so empty in there, I feel like they've gotten a bad rap. The menu was pretty extensive, from maki to sushi. I asked if they'd let me order with no tobiko because I dont like roe, and didnt want them to waste it on me scraping it off. Waitress said no prob, just scratch it out. I like that because some places get offended if you make changes. They give you a little dish of edamame and they serve pepsi products. The BF for some different maki, and the 5th ave special roll #2. I decided to give the apps a try (they're included, two pieces an order). I got two orders of crab rangoon, served very HOT and fresh with a nice crunch and good flling, and an order of gyoza. I prefer my gyoza a little crispier, but the filling was good. For my rolls I got the shrimp crunch which is covered in little colorful puffed rice, and after trying the bfs 5th ave special 2, I ended up ordering it too. The waitress made it very clear that the specialty rolls come in 8 pieces and to order in stages. I've done a lot of AYCE so I know my pace and didnt feel rushed at all. On the topic of the waitress, she was not hovering but def prompt if I looked at her. She was on top of refills and bringing more menus for me. She was super nice and I dont know who people were referring to in other reviews about being rude.\ The speed of the sushi making was pretty on point for all other places I've eaten at. The shrimp tempura was freshly made, and tasted like they battered to order. Other reviews didnt mention buy you ALSO get a little ice cream cup with AYCE. I think apps, dinner, and a little dessert is a GREAT deal for 21 bucks. Plus they've got a 15% off AYCE running right now. I say give them a shot, everyone that came in seemed happy and like they were enjoying the food. I feel like if they were in a busier plaza by woodfield they'd do better...that burlington coat factor plaze area is kind of dead... All in all, great dinner and we will def be back. I'd say its better than Asian Toyko on Algonquin when it comes to service, sushi/apps are about on point. The little vanilla ice cream won me too over :)

I like this place. The sushi they made does not have that much rice inside. I mean comparing with other stores. Also, I come to this place every week normally. And I think their fish tastes very fresh. Moreover, the service I got was good. I also like the owner here because she did not charge me for my left over when I came here for the first time. I love the ayce the most here. Personally, I can eat quit a lot, so that seems like the best deal to me. In short, if you are also a person who loves sushi like me, this is the right place man.

Wow this place is amazing. I came in today for the all you can eat sushi and not only was it great, it's a great value. One thing, you have to pay for whatever you don't eat. I only had 2 pieces left so I finished it off. They let you order as much as you'd like so make sure you don't eat with your eyes lol. Service was great too. Constantly checked up on us and brought us more sushi quickly on request

Good sushi at a really solid value. I'm a fan of their take out deals. I'd normally say this is closer to 4 stars, but I'm shaky on their service now. We ordered take out on Valentines day and it took close to two hours to get the food. Granted it was a busy day, but no order should take 2 hours (and especially since they said it would only take 45 minutes). It was evident they just forgot about many of the take out orders because there was a herd of take out people waiting forever.
(3)Edward R.
Clean & fresh & outstanding Sushi rolls & pleasant/friendly/social staff....we will definitely be back.

My friend, my 7 year-old, and I visited this place on opening day for lunch. My friend and and I can eat A LOT of sushi, so we went with the all you can eat menu. We began with soup and salad (both were excellent, not unlike what we've had in high-end teppanyaki restaurants), and then we moved on to several rolls. Each roll arrived beautifully prepared, and they were huge! We loved the spider roll, the Pacific, and the Mango Tango! I also love eel, so I ordered unagi maki. That, too, didn't disappoint. I should mention that my daughter who doesn't eat sushi was also well cared for. She had a banana smoothie that she claimed "tastes like heaven" and an order of gyoza. The gyoza were a bit average and not a ton of flavor, but no one cared because we were stuffed on everything else! We will be back. OFTEN. :)
(5)Brooke C.
Great quality special rolls, pretty presentation, and very friendly staff and service, all for $21.95 all U can eat. And during the grand openings week, there's 15% discount! Very happy that we decided to check out this new place. Finally a great sushi place in the hood. Will definitely come again.
(4)Matt K.
So delicious! Great flavor in the miso soup and the sushi rolls were amazing! Ordered the Sakura roll, spicy crab and red dragon. Very good crab Rangoon as well. All you can eat and byob.
(5)Dan d.
Great drinks and very good sushi. The endless appetizers are quite good just don't overdose on them. The sushi is worth the wait. New so very fast service now. It should fill up quickly
(4)Erin B.
I have been here several times now and it is a good solid sushi place with very good quality fish. I really like it overall and it has been consistent every time. They are friendly and they give you free edamame and appetizers if you get the all you can eat sushi deal, which is available every day! Hooray!
(4)Alina K.
Very good place. worth to visit. Great taste for reasonable price. Especially I would recommend to go there with large company n try all you can eat, they offer huge variety of sushi and rolls.
(5)Fernanda B.
Love this place! They have a nice atmosphere, byob and great sushi! Special nbr 2 is my favorite, and there are some worthwhile specials that make it not so expensive.
(5)Adam Z.
This place a VERY good all you can eat sushi place. The portions are very well sized, not enough to load you down with one roll, but just enough to enjoy what you have ordered and still leave room to try more. And everything on the menu so far has been good! The "rice to ingredient" ratio is spot on with good quality ingredients.. Unlike most all you can eat places which are mostly rice! Very nice staff, quick and friendly service. Nice, clean ambience. Not romantic but very appropriate for the purpose. And it is BYOB, which can save you a few bucks if your drinking! Only thing I could do without is the Kenny G playing every time we come! Haha! But that is a small price to pay for good sushi at a great price!
(4)Parker J.
We LOVE 5th Avenue Sushi! Making this a regular spot to go to fulfill our Sushi cravings! The customer service is top notch and the food is good as it gets, especially for the affordable pricing!
(5)V P.
This is opening weekend. Id give the place a 3.5 star rating. I rounded up to four since it's the first review. We began with edamame, miso soup, house salad, and crab Rangoon. The edamame was standard, the miso soup was good, the salad had a delightful ginger house dressing (though there may have been too much dressing) and the crab Rangoon was very cream cheesy but tasted great with their house sweet and sour sauce. For our sushi, we got the spicy tuna, crunch salmon, rainbow roll, the mango tango, ocean view, and pacific. Our favorite was the ocean view. This one stood out among the others. The others were just okay. No complaints at all except for the amount of mayonnaise used in the crunch (too much) and the spicy tuna wasn't spicy enough.
(4)Jackson N.
5th Ave is absolutely my new local sushi spot. If you know the difference between good sushi and not-so-good sushi, eat here! Unless you're at one of those high-end $100+/plate sushi boutique spots, you won't beat 5th Ave. this is a great date spot. Great dinner for 2 for about $50? Awesome! The fish is very good quality, and the rice is perfectly portioned and seasoned---and none of that rice overload on the nigiri! The staff is friendly and polite. Complimentary ice cream at the end is really a nice touch. They are conveniently located and run valuable promotions too, so look out for deals.
(5)Erika M.
The two stars are for the service. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. I can't give any stars for the food, I had the "all you can eat sushi" deal and honestly all the sushi, even different types of fish, tasted the same. Also they charge you an extra dollar for every piece of sushi you can't finish. It's unfortunate, i was hoping it would be much better. I won't be returning.
(2)E S.
Pretty good sushi. The place wasnt packed for a saturday nighy. The wait staff is kind of annoying and look pissed, but whatever. The place is dark and spacious. Sushi was good, amongst the 2 of us, we had 5 rolls. Fish was good, but not spectacular.
(3)Laura N.
We just ate there tonight and the sushi was fresh and delicious and the service was fast. The rolls were a nice size and very filling. We will be going back.
(5)Pallas H.
The place was a surprise to us with its fish quality and its value. The service was great. Tempera tastes good with a good portion. I enjoyed the seaweed salad. The fish to rice ratio is right for the nigiri. Miso soup and green tea are tasteless, can use some improvement. The sushi rice can be more flavorful - sweet and sour.
(5)Dasha H.
People! Read the rules if you are planning on coming for "all you can eat" deal starting at 3pm. This place is quite awesome. Amazingly fresh fish and a great deal BUT they have pretty strict rules in place to make it possible for you to eat as much as you want for $21!! Duh! You need to make sure you know what to expect to have a great experience here and save your complaints later. The staff is very helpful and friendly and will answer any of your questions before you order. Ask for explanation of the sizes of each roll, etc. Order little first then order more later if still hungry. Don't over order right away and have left overs you will have to pay for. Your plate has to be completely CLEAN of food when you request your check. Not even rice left. Nothing. There is also a small charge when you BYOB. Enjoy!!! PS their fish tastes as if they just caught it! :-) amazing freshness!!!!
(5)Roman K.
Amazing food. Exceptional presentation and great service. If you finna eat come here!
(5)Molly M.
The BEST sushi I've had in the northwest suburbs. Although, this place cost a couple dollars more tan sushi para, there is so much more variety on their menu. A lot of different appetizers to choose from and all of their rolls on the all you can eat are signature rolls. My favorite I would say is the flaming dragon. This roll is baked with shrimp tempura topped with salmon, super white time, black and red Tobiko and scallion. Also with house special sauce and spicy mayo. I love that all their rolls taste different. Haha as odd as that sounds , it's true. I love sushi para too but all of it just tastes the same and after a whole it gets old. I also love the customer service at 5th ave. everyone is so nice and friendly. The host I believe is also the manager is extremely nice and adorable. She makes bomb Mai tais ! That's a must to try (; this place is definitely worth the money and time ! Just make sure to go on an empty stomach. Haha it'll be worth it, I promise !
(5)Carol L.
We stumbled across this sushi restaurant in AH during the grand opening week. I'm one of those that is very very worry about freshness of raw fish. They had the all you can eat sushi and it was fairly reasonable with the price and the selection. We decided to try it. We had the 5-6 rolls and appetizers, soup, dessert, etc... All included. The foods were awesome and we'll definitely be back!!!
(4)Mike H.
Def better then any all u can eat place i have been to. Service is super, rolls are tasty and the apps are good as well. Beed to expand the desert list. But whatever. Def should try
(4)Lauren B.
This place is amazing!! Free edamame, miso soup and house salad.. Plus all you can eat appetizers and BYOB seals the deal for sure. Love it!
(5)Amy T.
We were looking for a new Sushi restaurant last night and came upon a grand opening for this restaurant. This is our 2nd night in a row and both nights were excellent sushi and service!
(4)Becky H.
Amazing sushi and GREAT service! This will definitely be my regular sushi stop :) Every roll we ordered had amazing flavor and came in healthy portions.
(5)Gregory B.
The fish was exceptionally fresh and of high quality. The rice was only fair, as were the appetizers. It was delightful to interact with the staff. This is easily the best all you can eat anything that I have been to in my life. Such a deal.
(4)Mr.andMrs. A.
Love this place! One of our favorites when the sushi crave hits. All you can eat, but only order what you can eat. Makes sense don't waste their money or the have to raise the price. Duh. Only negative is its a little inconsistent (Luke warm soup, cold edamame, different toppings on rolls ordered multiple times) but they're new so we will cut them a break. Great servers and management.
(5)Alisa W.
I love this place. I just discovered it yesterday. I will definitely be coming back. The sushi is very tasty and fresh and as much as I love Sushi Para, I think there are more choices at this place.v
(5)John D.
Great rolls, nice hot appetizers. Second time here, sushi was great both times! We had diablo and crunch salmon roll tonight. The sushi chef made a special roll for us as well. Try this place out it for the all you can eat deal.
(5)Bc C.
I was disappointed in this place compared to other sushi in the Northwest suburbs. In general, the contents of the rolls seemed stingy. The major reason I won't be back is finding lots of bones in my unagi roll.
(2)Valerie P.
I've never been so disappointed before! Food was good but the service was terrible!! So as all of you probably know, you have to pay a fee for left over sushi at all you can eat restaurants. What I didn't know is that they charge $1 per piece! So when the bill came, we asked to speak with the manager, explained that it doesn't state that they charge that much anywhere and they server didn't say that either... The manager was as rude as it gets! So long story short, she threw away the left over food and refused to give it to us. I have never been more disappointed from customer service before! Never going back there again!

We saw this place opened and I was eager to try it. We stopped by on a Saturday night to try it out. It's in a strip mall and it's just in a weird location. I was glad to see it was packed when we went. We have a 2 year old. Anyone with a toddler will know a sushi restaurant is no place for a little one. We knew ahead of time there wouldn't be anything she would eat. A sushi restaurant doesn't have any of our daughters 3 basic food groups: Cheese group, Hotdog group, Chicken Nugget group. So we stopped at Wendy's ahead of time for something for her. I know this can be a sticky issue at restaurants. But come on, they reaaaaly don't offer anything in the way of kids meals here. So... when we sat down we asked our waitress if it was okay if she ate her outside food here. She asked the manager and came back with a yes which was great. If she would have said no we would have left and the restaurant would have been out of our money. We asked for a menu but were told the only option was the all-you-can eat special at $21.95 a person. You have to come here hungry The waitress was great. Helped explain a lot of things and recommended some food. It looks like everyone here is still happy to work here! Always great with a new restaurant. If this service stays consistent they are really going to do well here. The sushi itself was really good. But keep in mind, I'm no sushi snob. I eat at, and enjoy, places like Sushi Station and Taste of Tokyo (nearby all-you-can-eat sushi places). I would say 5th avenue is much better quality than both of these places. Also included in the offer is all you can eat appetizers. And there are really good ones to choose from: Shrimp Shumai, Calamari Tempura, Gyoza YUM! When you order these appetizers you get little sample size portions. When the sushi comes you get a crap ton so you better know that you will like what you get. It was a bit busy when we came. And they just opened not too long ago. But the service was really slow. From time of order to getting sushi it was a 30 min+ wait. They are labeled BYOB on their window. But they have liquor behind the sushi bar and a Sapporo sign lit up in the window. Not sure what is going on with that. My humble recommendations for improvements here: Get more fruit and kids menu items here. Otherwise you turn away families entirely. Your sushi is great. I would love to come and get a smaller order. Please also offer a NON-all-you-can-eat menu at dinner time. I will definitely come back though. This is cheaper, better, and closer to us than the other eat till you drop sushi places around town.
(4)Ksenia P.
I like this place! Unlike sushi para, very clean and big dining room, small pieces rolls loaded actually with fish and not rice, rice and more rice! Keep it up guys! Definitely will come back again !
(4)Tania D.
Unless the food is made of gold, taking a risk to go here is not worth it at all. The service is absolutely the worst I have ever seen, truly! The day we were there, I saw 3 other tables arguing over the service and the bill as well. We waited an hour and a half for our rolls and served a bill that was 30% more than expected. We asked to simply pay for the rolls individually and please honor the sign they had in the foyer when you walk in that read "Buy 1 signature roll, get 2nd 1/2 off!" We did not want the all you can eat price of $21.95 pp. No, they wouldn't honor it. We were charged at $21.95 and still left hungry, scared to order anymore food and wait another hour. Service was sooooo poor that our blonde waitress never refilled our drinks nor comped an appetizer or anything after waiting 90 minutes for food to come. It was a horrific experience and they use "bait and switch" tactics that you only read about anymore. Unless you want to be haggled with old school used car salesperson tactics, don't come. You will walk out feeling violated somehow.
(1)Kristine S.
Total disaster. Please make sure you do not get a table with a certain blonde waitress. If you were treated as badly as me and my guest you would understand why I feel the need to warn you. Aside from her not introducing herself it took 45 minutes for appetizers and 2 hrs for simple rolls. Waitress completely ignored us and kept messing up our orders for only a party of 2. Was disrespectful to me and my guest along with her co worker. Put words in our mouths about messing up our order when another employee had to assist us becuz she previously disappeared for 20 minutes. She then lied about comping the order and made a huge scene trying to bully us and then crying, all completely unprofessional. I am a genuinely understanding person but this waitress should not get away with treating people this way. Especially when you supposedly represent a restaurant named after Fifth Avenue.
(1)Anna P.
This place just opened right by our house and we decided to give it try. The food wasn't great. It's a typical all you can eat sushi place. No taste, stuffed with rice and no real flavor to anything. The only nice thing about this place that it's BYOB. So if you love sushi and know what a real deal should taste like, this place is not for you. The service was good and the place itself has nice feel to eat but the food is a big disappointment.
(2)Ortal A.
5th Ave Sushi is the BEST sushi restaurant I have ever been to. The "all-you-can-eat" is my favorite. It includes all of the sushi and nigiri they have on the regular menu, as well as most appetizers and ice cream. Sashimi is not included, but they offer a deluxe sashimi platter with an ice sculpture and led lights for $21, and it's beautiful! This is a regular lunch and dinner spot for my friends and I. The service here is amazing, and you never have to decide if your glass is half empty or full, because it's always entirely full to begin with. I've seen a lot of people complain about the $1 a piece for leftover on the "all-you-can-eat," and I have to side with the restaurant on this one. The "all-you-can-eat" is just that.... ALL YOU CAN EAT. If you order more than you can actually eat, you get charged. It's that simple-- and it says so on the menu. You can't come in, order a lot, and take it home for later for free.... That's not how it works, and that's the policy for all sushi restaurant with an "all-you-can-eat" menu. I recommend ordering 1 or 2 rolls at a time, and no more. That way you can more properly pace yourself. The waitresses are very pleasant, and will take care of any problems or concerns you may have. People with dietary restriction and/allergies get special attention, and their food is made separate from everyone else's. If you have any, just tell your waitress, and she'll take care of you. The quality of the food is AMAZING, no exaggeration! everything is made fresh to order, with many substitution options (i.e. brown rice, soy paper, etc.). If you ever sit at the sushi bar to watch them make the sushi, you'll see how sanitary and perfect everything looks! I was in awe. I definitely recommend this place to everyone, especially sushi lovers! You won't find another place this perfect for the price!
(5)Shannon L.
Mango tango slays my life. The external view of the restaurant does no justice for the aesthetically pleasing interior of the establishment. Every staff member I have come across has been nothing short of kind and attentive. Cold edamame was the only negative aspect of my meal. Better ingredients, better sushi, 5th Ave!
(5)Ryan H.
Our favorite sushi place (NARI) closed earlier this year and we have been looking for a new sushi place. Multiple members of our family have eaten here and raved about it, so we figured we'd give it a shot. I wanted to eat here twice before reviewing this place, allowing us to try multiple different rolls. Our first visit we really enjoyed the service and the drinks. The rolls were hit and miss. Upon leaving we took a to-go menu with us to read more about their rolls and keep track of what he liked and what we'd want to try.on our next visit. Our second visit was similar in the fact that the service and drinks were fantastic. Only the 6 rolls we ordered were ALL fantastic. We loved every last bite and it solidified that we have found our new sushi place! The only negative about this place is at sundown the right side of the restaurant can become blinding if you're facing west, They need more blinds...
(5)Henry T.
$7 for a pot of green tea!!!!!!!Yikes!!!!!
(3)john h.
I've had a chance to take out sushi a couple of times over the past few weeks and have been pleased with my orders. They serve a generous portion of fish and avocado in the roll. Very fresh! I am looking to try some other rolls to provide additional feedback. So far I am a fan.
(3)Taylor M.
How does this place have a four star overall rating?! Yelp failed me with this restaurant. I went with my mom. For a birthday dinner and we did all you can eat sushi. Well, that's what I thought we did. In reality it was more like all you can eat rice. The sushi minimal amount of sushi they put in the roll was not fresh. It tasted fishy. The one time the waitress asked how the food was I told her honestly that the fish I was pulling,out was too tough to even chew. She responded "oh yeah the yellowtail" and just walked away. I am by no means new to sushi and this is not how it is supposed to taste. Since we already ordered all you can eat, we switched to the appetizers hoping they would be better. But they weren't that great either. Later that night I had a bad tummy ache and some other symptoms you probably don't want to know about... So did my mom. It just didn't sit right. So do yourself and your stomach (and palate) a favor and stay away from this place. If you need AYCE go to Sushi Grove in Buffalo Grove. The same price with a better atmosphere and fresh fish. I should have known by the lack of diners that the fish here would be old.
(1)Victoria W.
The rice of my sushi tasted terrible, maybe not enough vinegar? Not sure what had gone wrong. I ordered shrimp tempura for my appetizer but it had 1 piece of shrimp in it and 2 pieces of vegetables. Seriously? there was an option for vegetable tempura, why did my shrimp tempura had more vegetables than shrimp? Also the shrimp tempura was very dry. Fried calamari was not good, too greasy. House salad was hard to finish, too much sauce. The fish was not very fresh here. No sashimi on the buffet. Was really looking forward to some shrimp chips, which they bring out shrimp chips and edamame to every guest to visits but the shrimp chip was bitter. 21.99 with 15% off the buffet because they are new in town. The only positives here are that nice ambiance and very friendly service.
(2)Daerin P.
It pains me to write this review, I was a regular customer and frequented this place many times. But I will never set foot in this place again. We were dining tonight in a party of 7 and ordered the usual all you can eat special. The sushi is decent for an all you can eat and we've never really had a problem...until tonight. I saw my sister pull something out of her mouth and to her dismay, it was a chard of plastic. It was about half the size of a pinky nail with quite sharp edges. She was very lucky she had not swallowed it. She brought this to the attention of the staff and the owner came over and looked like she really didn't have a clue as to how to deal with this. She said "sorry about that" and that was about the end of it. Because we are very familiar with her, we left it up to her to take care of it in her own way. However, when the bill came, nothing was taken off, no further mention of it was made. I asked for clarification of the bill and the server indeed said that nothing had been done. I didn't want to make a scene but I was infuriated at this point and said that if there is any foreign object in a meal, something must be done about it. The server went back to the owner and after about 10 minutes, she came back and said, "we took 25% off of your sister's meal". Sadly, there is already a 15% discount for everyone that walks in the door so the extra 10% off amounts to about $2. My wife and I have come to this place over 10 times and spent over $500 at this establishment. Our party alone tonight spent over $150 on this ill gotten meal. I was so insulted I could hardly breathe. So in saving herself $18 by not comping my sister's meal, she lost us as customers and any customers she'll lose through this review and by us telling this story over and over again. I used to be in the food service industry and it's a no brainer to comp a meal if there's something found in it. What makes this worse is that she knows us and we've brought in a ton of business as well. This philosophy of the owner reflects how little she cares about the big picture and hints at a culture of cutting corners. Penny wise and pound foolish. What else is she skimping on? How reluctant is she to throw out fish that's going bad? It's obvious the bottom line is much more important than the safety of her customers. In conclusion, for your safety and peace of mind, I recommend not throwing away your hard earned money here. If you look, the reviews here are quite wide ranging which is troublesome. On the fence about trying this place out? No brainer, stay away. If you are a loyal customer, hope this opened your eyes to what can happen to you. My sister was very lucky today but someone else may not be in the future.

Don't know what all the great reviews were about. I have had this bookmarked for a few months to try, but I was really disappointed. The all you can eat sushi is pretty lame. The appetizer seaweed salad was barely a forkful. The edamame was cold and the miso soup tasteless. Now for the rolls??? There was so much rice that you could not taste the fillings. The small amount of sushi that was in the roll was by no means fresh. There was no value in the all you can eat as the service was so poor by the time they returned to ask if we would like to order more, we had sat there thinking we should cut our losses. Our server/manager/owner? asked how we found the food and when I replied (respectively) that we were a bit underwhelmed and found the rolls had too much rice and the edamame cold the response was "oh" and she walked away. Later that evening my guest and I both experienced stomach issues--wonder about our suspicions about fish freshness? With so many other great sushi restaurants nearby, I think I'll pass.
(1)Henry T.
Best sushi I've had in a while! I ordered the sushi buffet and I definitely got my money's worth. The unagi (eel) was still nice and warm when it got to the table, and the sushi rolls were unbelievably filled with flavor. Each roll tasted different, rather than the same fishy mush. I don't remember which rolls I got besides the Mango Tango, and you may be thinking what? Mango in sushi sounds gross! But, honestly it was so delicious after every single piece. So in conclusion: 1. All you can eat sushi is affordable and the variety of rolls and nigiri allow for endless variety in orders. 2. Environment is great. The warm toned lights and colored ceiling really adds to the genuine aesthetic. Also bathrooms are nice and clean. 3. Service is great! Owners were very polite and tentative. Make sure to tip because I know from experience that making sushi/waiting tables is no easy job! I hope you all try this place next time you swing by the area. Definitely worth the price!
(5)Stacy G.
One of my favorite restaurants. Food is so good! My two favorite rolls are the mountain and angel hair. The all you can eat in unbeatable value and it's not buffet style it's made when you order. I also love the shrimp tempura app. Service is friendly and attentive. I can't say enough great things about this place.
(5)Sherwin C.
5th Avenue Sushi is a restaurant that has sushi similar to Sushi Para, decor similar to Sun Shui, and plating similiar to Sushi Ai. Its ingredient quality is similar to those of better sushi restaurants in the area (although the vegetables could be a little more crisp and fresher - but I'm probably spoiled by going to Sushi Para) but the flavor combinations are better designed and uses less sauce than most other similar restaurants in the area. The area in which this restaurant really shines is presentation. Both the plating and the design of the rolls is beautiful. The dining room is also spacious and comfortable with a city-like feel to it. The thoughtful design even extends into the washroom with modern materials used throughout to give it a chic feel. The service was also prompt and friendly. The food comes in generous portions at good prices. When my group came here for lunch we got appetizers such as shrimp chips and edamame and then either salad with miso dressing or miso soup and seaweed salad to accompany the meal. It was very nice to get so many extras for a lunch that was inexpensive for Japanese. The frying here is very good so make sure you try dishes that contain items such as shrimp tempura, fried soft shell crab, fried squid, etc. Overall, this is another great sushi addition to the area and a great place to take friends where I know they'll enjoy the atmosphere and food as well.
(4)Mallory S.
For $21 all you can eat sushi and appetizers, it is a great deal. However I couldn't really taste the fish because of the high ratio of rice to fish. It's the only sushi joint I know of in the area that is BYOB: $0.50/bottle which isn't too bad of a corking fee. They also have cocktails for $6.50 and a selection of beer. There is a buy one get half off deal on signature rolls from 11am-3pm. Service was very attentive. Mediocre sushi joint, come hungry to take advantage of the all you can eat! The ambiance is kind of weird a lot of chandeliers but this by no means a dress up place. I shall return.
(4)Harry C.
Sushi here is amazing! All you can eat sushi for $18.65 is totally worth it! It's not like any all you can eat sushi in those buffets. I'd recommend it to anyone for the price and the fact that you can see your sushi being made before the counter is even better. Their music choice is so on point too!
(5)Randy T.
My NEW favorite Sushi place, way better then sushi para. The staff is very nice and always checks on you if you need anything. The sushi is fresh and cost is affordable !
(5)Samantha R.
It is obvious by their business model they are trying to take down Sushi Para. They will fail. I went in by myself on a Thursday evening for a quick dinner, and the place was empty, maybe two other tables were occupied. Service was mediocre at best for a place that was so empty. The food came out quickly, I will give them that though. They are an AYCE sushi "buffet" with a large menu and $21.95/person. The inside is very modern and trendy looking, and there is ample seating. Their sushi bar was small and had several seats in front of it. When I sat down, there was edamame at the table and I wasn't sure if it was for me, or if it was leftover from another party, so I didn't touch it. Service was not that great for a place that was so empty. I had to wait awhile for someone to come take my order sheet from me, however, the food itself came out quickly. I was INCREDIBLY disappointed with the food. Probably some of the worst sushi I have ever had, including sushi from Pei Wei and Jewel. I knew if I didn't eat it, I would still have to pay, and I would rather eat and pay, than waste food and money. The fish was all very fishy tasting, and lacked any palatable flavor besides fish. They put way too much sauce on all of the rolls that required sauce, and the rolls that were supposed to have tempura crunch on them didn't have any crunch at all. I ordered one roll that had something on top, I am pretty sure it was the Volcano roll, and I thought it was going to have all the ingredients wrapped on top of the roll nicely, but instead, it was everything almost pureed together into some sort of abomination of sauce and fish. Nothing tasted fresh and I had to scarf my food down in order to bring myself to finish. I was so upset because all of the Yelp reviews seemed great and the menu looked amazing online. Unfortunately, it wasn't up to snuff. For less than what they charge, I could have gone to Sushi Para and eaten fresher tasting stuff that I would have been willing to wait for. I'm glad I gave this place a chance, but I was very disappointed in the overall experience.

Dont Let them accidentally spill water on you, you won't get them anything out of it.

Even better than any of the reviews mentioned! Super friendly staff, great prices, great food... If you like sushi, and lots of it, this is a place to visit. Btw appetizers are included in the all you can eat.

Srs. Great sushi the whole atmosphere was great and relaxing. The presentation of the sushi was so artistic. All the employees where nice and helpful. It was the first time here and our waitress explained all of their menu and specials and was very helpful. They have an awesome drink list and happy hour special !! The restaurant is modern and clean. I highly recommend it !

I am back to this place again, and I probably had about 40 pieces without leaving a single sushi roll on my plate. I know how much I can eat so that's not a problem. :D (by the way, I'm a 5' 2'' tall female in 20s and I'm not overweight) I should probably change my career as a food fighter and make my own program called "woman vs. sushi". My husband and I are in DC now so it's really sad that I can't go to this place as often as I can, but now I can at least update my favorite sushi place's review. I'm pretty surprised that some of yelp reviewers here don't read the rules when it's clearly written on their menu.. I can assure you all that this restaurant is definitely worth much more than 1 star. And those people who had issues with servers and the restaurant owner, this would not happen if you communicated with them BEFORE it happened. 1. For sushi buffet or any kind of buffet place, you CANNOT take your leftovers. It would be really silly if I went to Old Country Buffet, took 4 of 5 beef steaks and tried to take them for to go. Buffet noobs please read this. 2. I CLEARLY saw "you will be charged for any leftover food from buffet orders." When I visited this place first time, my husband's best friend thought we wouldn't be charged for some chunks of rice but I asked the server because I wasn't 100% sure. Any leftover food, including chunks of rice that was taken off from sushi, will be charged (this doesn't apply for non-buffet orders) I try to respect people who provide good service and food. There are things that this restaurant needs to fix though. The restaurant's chefs probably need to make sushi different (much better quality) if they make sushi for non-buffet customers (as they pay more money for less sushi). Also, they need to find out how to make sushi fast if the restaurant is crowded with buffet people. Since this restaurant's buffet-style sushi rolls are not pre-made and waiting for customers in advance, I would avoid having buffet lunch/dinner during peak time (11:30am-1:30pm and 6-8pm)

So many all you can eat rolls to choose from! Appetizers are included too. The rolls are great. They don't cut any corners with the all you can eat. Our sever was friendly and attentive. Not much more to say. Come hungry and leave happy.

Good sushi at a really solid value. I'm a fan of their take out deals. I'd normally say this is closer to 4 stars, but I'm shaky on their service now. We ordered take out on Valentines day and it took close to two hours to get the food. Granted it was a busy day, but no order should take 2 hours (and especially since they said it would only take 45 minutes). It was evident they just forgot about many of the take out orders because there was a herd of take out people waiting forever.
(3)Edward R.
Clean & fresh & outstanding Sushi rolls & pleasant/friendly/social staff....we will definitely be back.

I love sushi. I also love to eat, a lot. No, seriously, a lot. You can understand why all you can eat sushi would be so appealing to me, especially nested right in my backyard. Brand new, the staff (Angie specifically) were extremely attentive. I took my seat at the sushi bar, and reviewed the plethora of offerings on the all-you-can-eat menu. The appetizers are very small, like mini tapas plates. I had the house salad, the seaweed salad and the edamame to start, and proceeded to order roll, after roll, after roll. Volcano, good. Summer, refreshing. Mango tango, yummy! Natoro, fresh and crisp. Pacific, incredible. Spider-Man, fantastic texture. Godzilla, epic. I passed on the dessert- though, oddly enough, I could have eaten it. Angie, my server, was very helpful in making recommendations, though she doubted the elasticity of my belly initially, she now knows. She kept me paced, and made me laugh and kept me nourished. The chefs were fast, but also personable, checking in between orders, and presenting beautiful and delicious rolls Overall great service, great value, great sushi. I'm so glad I've a place to practice my gluttony :)

I LOVE 5th Avenue Sushi! I am very picky about my sushi and this place did not let me down. I have tried other restaurants that offer the "All you can eat" specials and they all delivered food that was less than great so I was nervous to come here. My sister raved to me about it so I had to give it a try and I am so glad I did! To start, the staff is so friendly and welcoming. They told me about all of the specials and weekly promotions they offer. It is BYOB which was really nice, as most sushi restaurants don't offer many choices. When the food came it was fresh and tasted exactly like if not better than the restaurants I have gone to and paid double. Side note, the crab rangoons were better than any chinese restaurant I have ever gotten! I have never been so happy with everything I've ordered and will definitely make this my new go to sushi spot.
(5)Seely L.
They done it again made this place Evan better the updated there all you can eat now with every roll you order on the all you can eat you can get 3 sashimi with this this is by far the best deal so don't miss this come in and try and the service was great as always
(5)Eugenia C.
One word Amazing! All around best from atmosphere to service and top notch food. Definitely a hidden gem.
(5)Ksenia P.
I like this place! Unlike sushi para, very clean and big dining room, small pieces rolls loaded actually with fish and not rice, rice and more rice! Keep it up guys! Definitely will come back again !
(4)My T.
I read some of the reviews where they gave 1 star not bc of food but bc of service. Specifically, bc they had to pay for left overs at an all you can sushi joint. Give me a break! Yeah, let's order 50 dollars worth of sushi and take it home. Ridiculous! Honestly, how many all-you-can-eat places will let someone take food home? FYI, all sushi places I've ever been to, in this state or the next, with all-u can-eat have the same policy. I'm not from the area. I tried and liked it bc a lot of the other sushi places around here close down their lunch around 2:30 and my sushi craving hit around 2pm. The house sake was good. The rolls were spot on. I completed plenty of work emails in the time I was there. It's a tough restaurant market. Everywhere you look a restaurant hangs on the corner. They hold their own despite this. Maybe it's not the busiest, but the atmosphere, manager, and waitress were tentative, timely and food taste was quality over quantity. Give them a try and we go from there.
(5)Liliya S.
The service was super fast, very courteous staff, nice atmosphere. I was offered a deal buy one, get one 50% off.
(5)Olena Y.
I love this place! I will never go back to sushi para again. Their tuna is so good it melts in your mouth unlike some other sushi places where it's very rough and chewy! Highly recommend this place the staff is wonderful also :)
(5)Klaud W.
Wow this place is amazing. I came in today for the all you can eat sushi and not only was it great, it's a great value. One thing, you have to pay for whatever you don't eat. I only had 2 pieces left so I finished it off. They let you order as much as you'd like so make sure you don't eat with your eyes lol. Service was great too. Constantly checked up on us and brought us more sushi quickly on request
(5)Amelia I.
Lets just start by saying its one of the all you can eat sushi places that we ALL know will charge you for left over sushi. That is NOT a reason for people to be bashing this place! You chose to overestimate your appetite, not the chef who expertly made your noms. Okay rant done. I've read a lot of negative reviews about this so I avoided it for a few sushi date nights until finally I'm was like lets try this place! First impression is that its big and the decor confuses me a bit. The little chandelier lite and the mural kinnda went two different ways for me. BUT I dont care what the place looks like as long as its clean! We were promptly approached by a waitress (I think she may be the owners wife, she seemed more invested than just a waitress) who asked if we wanted the AYCE. HECK yes I do! We sat by the sushi making station and watched them prepping and rolling. I was a little disappointed it was so empty in there, I feel like they've gotten a bad rap. The menu was pretty extensive, from maki to sushi. I asked if they'd let me order with no tobiko because I dont like roe, and didnt want them to waste it on me scraping it off. Waitress said no prob, just scratch it out. I like that because some places get offended if you make changes. They give you a little dish of edamame and they serve pepsi products. The BF for some different maki, and the 5th ave special roll #2. I decided to give the apps a try (they're included, two pieces an order). I got two orders of crab rangoon, served very HOT and fresh with a nice crunch and good flling, and an order of gyoza. I prefer my gyoza a little crispier, but the filling was good. For my rolls I got the shrimp crunch which is covered in little colorful puffed rice, and after trying the bfs 5th ave special 2, I ended up ordering it too. The waitress made it very clear that the specialty rolls come in 8 pieces and to order in stages. I've done a lot of AYCE so I know my pace and didnt feel rushed at all. On the topic of the waitress, she was not hovering but def prompt if I looked at her. She was on top of refills and bringing more menus for me. She was super nice and I dont know who people were referring to in other reviews about being rude.\ The speed of the sushi making was pretty on point for all other places I've eaten at. The shrimp tempura was freshly made, and tasted like they battered to order. Other reviews didnt mention buy you ALSO get a little ice cream cup with AYCE. I think apps, dinner, and a little dessert is a GREAT deal for 21 bucks. Plus they've got a 15% off AYCE running right now. I say give them a shot, everyone that came in seemed happy and like they were enjoying the food. I feel like if they were in a busier plaza by woodfield they'd do better...that burlington coat factor plaze area is kind of dead... All in all, great dinner and we will def be back. I'd say its better than Asian Toyko on Algonquin when it comes to service, sushi/apps are about on point. The little vanilla ice cream won me too over :)
(5)Zhen Y.
I like this place. The sushi they made does not have that much rice inside. I mean comparing with other stores. Also, I come to this place every week normally. And I think their fish tastes very fresh. Moreover, the service I got was good. I also like the owner here because she did not charge me for my left over when I came here for the first time. I love the ayce the most here. Personally, I can eat quit a lot, so that seems like the best deal to me. In short, if you are also a person who loves sushi like me, this is the right place man.
(5)Beth B.
My friend, my 7 year-old, and I visited this place on opening day for lunch. My friend and and I can eat A LOT of sushi, so we went with the all you can eat menu. We began with soup and salad (both were excellent, not unlike what we've had in high-end teppanyaki restaurants), and then we moved on to several rolls. Each roll arrived beautifully prepared, and they were huge! We loved the spider roll, the Pacific, and the Mango Tango! I also love eel, so I ordered unagi maki. That, too, didn't disappoint. I should mention that my daughter who doesn't eat sushi was also well cared for. She had a banana smoothie that she claimed "tastes like heaven" and an order of gyoza. The gyoza were a bit average and not a ton of flavor, but no one cared because we were stuffed on everything else! We will be back. OFTEN. :)
(5)Brooke C.
Great quality special rolls, pretty presentation, and very friendly staff and service, all for $21.95 all U can eat. And during the grand openings week, there's 15% discount! Very happy that we decided to check out this new place. Finally a great sushi place in the hood. Will definitely come again.
(4)Andrea B.
I was so excited to try this place from all the reviews I read and let me say wow, I have never been so disappointed. The sushi was pretty good but that's not why I gave this place such low rating. The customer service was horrible and by horrible I mean horrendous. (In case you don't want to read my long rant I will be more then happy to summarize it. We came. We ate. Manager/owner (not sure) was so rude. Wanted to charge 1$/left over piece. We wanted to take the left overs to not waste food. Pay bill (after 30 min altercation) waitress comes over grabs our take out boxes of good sushi and throws it out in front of us). They had no remorse. Poor hungry people in the world. My friend and I had left overs after the all you can eat and it was clearly the end of the world for our waitress and manager. Since this wasn't our first rodeo we were aware that we would have to pay for some kind of fee. I was so full but I really wanted the left overs because I would be hungry again in an hour or two and I would of loved to eat them and bring some home for my roommate. 1. After making it seem like the end of the world the waitress said I have to talk to the manager about ur left overs, we were a little confused but said okay. 2. She disappeared into the back with our sushi for a solid 10-15 min (this was alarming. Why was our food missing for so long?) 3. She came back with everything packaged- this was annoying. My friend and I were going to two different places why was there one box when we had not even asked for it to be boxes at this point. 4. Waitress proceeded to drop the box on our table and said "ok, additional 20$". You should of seen our faces. 5. We said no and asked for the manager 6. Manager came over and flipped out, yelling at as asking why we don't want to pay the bill. We calmly explained we are more then happy to pay the bill bc we eat and we are not skipping out on the bill. The issue was Us being charged $1/left over piece which we felt was a lot. We explained that other places charged a flat fee vs a monetary amount per piece. 7. The manager then looked at us saying I've seen you here before you know the rules. For starters this was a "grand opening" and I shleped from the city and my friend and I had NOT ever been there. This was our first time and we were super excited to try it Fast forward 20 min She said she will wave the fee but next time we know the rules. We politely said there would not be a next time because she had been so rude, and needs to reassess the meaning of customer service. Semi long story short they brought us the bill we paid for our all you can eat sushi dinner. And then the waitress came over picked up our left over boxes and threw them out right in front of us. I WAS LIVID. They made such a big deal of us wasting food (which we weren't we really wanted the left overs) and then in the end they threw out 2 1/2 worth of rolls. This really upset me. I didn't want to waste the food and was willing to pay a flat fee for the left overs. There are hungry people out there and just to prove a point they threw everything out.
(1)Rusty S.
This is by far the worst all you can eat place I have been to. The proportion of fish to rice is terrible. I have never seen a tomago cut in half and served over their huge blob of rice! When we took a bit of rice off they charged us a dollar potter piece of rice. This WILL be the last time I ever come here! Just terrible.
(1)Matt K.
So delicious! Great flavor in the miso soup and the sushi rolls were amazing! Ordered the Sakura roll, spicy crab and red dragon. Very good crab Rangoon as well. All you can eat and byob.
(5)Dan d.
Great drinks and very good sushi. The endless appetizers are quite good just don't overdose on them. The sushi is worth the wait. New so very fast service now. It should fill up quickly
(4)Erin B.
I have been here several times now and it is a good solid sushi place with very good quality fish. I really like it overall and it has been consistent every time. They are friendly and they give you free edamame and appetizers if you get the all you can eat sushi deal, which is available every day! Hooray!
(4)Alina K.
Very good place. worth to visit. Great taste for reasonable price. Especially I would recommend to go there with large company n try all you can eat, they offer huge variety of sushi and rolls.
(5)Fernanda B.
Love this place! They have a nice atmosphere, byob and great sushi! Special nbr 2 is my favorite, and there are some worthwhile specials that make it not so expensive.
(5)Adam Z.
This place a VERY good all you can eat sushi place. The portions are very well sized, not enough to load you down with one roll, but just enough to enjoy what you have ordered and still leave room to try more. And everything on the menu so far has been good! The "rice to ingredient" ratio is spot on with good quality ingredients.. Unlike most all you can eat places which are mostly rice! Very nice staff, quick and friendly service. Nice, clean ambience. Not romantic but very appropriate for the purpose. And it is BYOB, which can save you a few bucks if your drinking! Only thing I could do without is the Kenny G playing every time we come! Haha! But that is a small price to pay for good sushi at a great price!
(4)Parker J.
We LOVE 5th Avenue Sushi! Making this a regular spot to go to fulfill our Sushi cravings! The customer service is top notch and the food is good as it gets, especially for the affordable pricing!
(5)V P.
This is opening weekend. Id give the place a 3.5 star rating. I rounded up to four since it's the first review. We began with edamame, miso soup, house salad, and crab Rangoon. The edamame was standard, the miso soup was good, the salad had a delightful ginger house dressing (though there may have been too much dressing) and the crab Rangoon was very cream cheesy but tasted great with their house sweet and sour sauce. For our sushi, we got the spicy tuna, crunch salmon, rainbow roll, the mango tango, ocean view, and pacific. Our favorite was the ocean view. This one stood out among the others. The others were just okay. No complaints at all except for the amount of mayonnaise used in the crunch (too much) and the spicy tuna wasn't spicy enough.
(4)Jackson N.
5th Ave is absolutely my new local sushi spot. If you know the difference between good sushi and not-so-good sushi, eat here! Unless you're at one of those high-end $100+/plate sushi boutique spots, you won't beat 5th Ave. this is a great date spot. Great dinner for 2 for about $50? Awesome! The fish is very good quality, and the rice is perfectly portioned and seasoned---and none of that rice overload on the nigiri! The staff is friendly and polite. Complimentary ice cream at the end is really a nice touch. They are conveniently located and run valuable promotions too, so look out for deals.
(5)Erika M.
The two stars are for the service. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. I can't give any stars for the food, I had the "all you can eat sushi" deal and honestly all the sushi, even different types of fish, tasted the same. Also they charge you an extra dollar for every piece of sushi you can't finish. It's unfortunate, i was hoping it would be much better. I won't be returning.
(2)E S.
Pretty good sushi. The place wasnt packed for a saturday nighy. The wait staff is kind of annoying and look pissed, but whatever. The place is dark and spacious. Sushi was good, amongst the 2 of us, we had 5 rolls. Fish was good, but not spectacular.
(3)Laura N.
We just ate there tonight and the sushi was fresh and delicious and the service was fast. The rolls were a nice size and very filling. We will be going back.
(5)Pallas H.
The place was a surprise to us with its fish quality and its value. The service was great. Tempera tastes good with a good portion. I enjoyed the seaweed salad. The fish to rice ratio is right for the nigiri. Miso soup and green tea are tasteless, can use some improvement. The sushi rice can be more flavorful - sweet and sour.
(5)Dasha H.
People! Read the rules if you are planning on coming for "all you can eat" deal starting at 3pm. This place is quite awesome. Amazingly fresh fish and a great deal BUT they have pretty strict rules in place to make it possible for you to eat as much as you want for $21!! Duh! You need to make sure you know what to expect to have a great experience here and save your complaints later. The staff is very helpful and friendly and will answer any of your questions before you order. Ask for explanation of the sizes of each roll, etc. Order little first then order more later if still hungry. Don't over order right away and have left overs you will have to pay for. Your plate has to be completely CLEAN of food when you request your check. Not even rice left. Nothing. There is also a small charge when you BYOB. Enjoy!!! PS their fish tastes as if they just caught it! :-) amazing freshness!!!!
(5)Roman K.
Amazing food. Exceptional presentation and great service. If you finna eat come here!
(5)Molly M.
The BEST sushi I've had in the northwest suburbs. Although, this place cost a couple dollars more tan sushi para, there is so much more variety on their menu. A lot of different appetizers to choose from and all of their rolls on the all you can eat are signature rolls. My favorite I would say is the flaming dragon. This roll is baked with shrimp tempura topped with salmon, super white time, black and red Tobiko and scallion. Also with house special sauce and spicy mayo. I love that all their rolls taste different. Haha as odd as that sounds , it's true. I love sushi para too but all of it just tastes the same and after a whole it gets old. I also love the customer service at 5th ave. everyone is so nice and friendly. The host I believe is also the manager is extremely nice and adorable. She makes bomb Mai tais ! That's a must to try (; this place is definitely worth the money and time ! Just make sure to go on an empty stomach. Haha it'll be worth it, I promise !
(5)Carol L.
We stumbled across this sushi restaurant in AH during the grand opening week. I'm one of those that is very very worry about freshness of raw fish. They had the all you can eat sushi and it was fairly reasonable with the price and the selection. We decided to try it. We had the 5-6 rolls and appetizers, soup, dessert, etc... All included. The foods were awesome and we'll definitely be back!!!
(4)Mike H.
Def better then any all u can eat place i have been to. Service is super, rolls are tasty and the apps are good as well. Beed to expand the desert list. But whatever. Def should try
(4)Lauren B.
This place is amazing!! Free edamame, miso soup and house salad.. Plus all you can eat appetizers and BYOB seals the deal for sure. Love it!
(5)Amy T.
We were looking for a new Sushi restaurant last night and came upon a grand opening for this restaurant. This is our 2nd night in a row and both nights were excellent sushi and service!
(4)Becky H.
Amazing sushi and GREAT service! This will definitely be my regular sushi stop :) Every roll we ordered had amazing flavor and came in healthy portions.
(5)Gregory B.
The fish was exceptionally fresh and of high quality. The rice was only fair, as were the appetizers. It was delightful to interact with the staff. This is easily the best all you can eat anything that I have been to in my life. Such a deal.
(4)Mr.andMrs. A.
Love this place! One of our favorites when the sushi crave hits. All you can eat, but only order what you can eat. Makes sense don't waste their money or the have to raise the price. Duh. Only negative is its a little inconsistent (Luke warm soup, cold edamame, different toppings on rolls ordered multiple times) but they're new so we will cut them a break. Great servers and management.
(5)Alisa W.
I love this place. I just discovered it yesterday. I will definitely be coming back. The sushi is very tasty and fresh and as much as I love Sushi Para, I think there are more choices at this place.v
(5)John D.
Great rolls, nice hot appetizers. Second time here, sushi was great both times! We had diablo and crunch salmon roll tonight. The sushi chef made a special roll for us as well. Try this place out it for the all you can eat deal.
(5)Bc C.
I was disappointed in this place compared to other sushi in the Northwest suburbs. In general, the contents of the rolls seemed stingy. The major reason I won't be back is finding lots of bones in my unagi roll.
(2)Valerie P.
I've never been so disappointed before! Food was good but the service was terrible!! So as all of you probably know, you have to pay a fee for left over sushi at all you can eat restaurants. What I didn't know is that they charge $1 per piece! So when the bill came, we asked to speak with the manager, explained that it doesn't state that they charge that much anywhere and they server didn't say that either... The manager was as rude as it gets! So long story short, she threw away the left over food and refused to give it to us. I have never been more disappointed from customer service before! Never going back there again!
(1)Tasty X.
We saw this place opened and I was eager to try it. We stopped by on a Saturday night to try it out. It's in a strip mall and it's just in a weird location. I was glad to see it was packed when we went. We have a 2 year old. Anyone with a toddler will know a sushi restaurant is no place for a little one. We knew ahead of time there wouldn't be anything she would eat. A sushi restaurant doesn't have any of our daughters 3 basic food groups: Cheese group, Hotdog group, Chicken Nugget group. So we stopped at Wendy's ahead of time for something for her. I know this can be a sticky issue at restaurants. But come on, they reaaaaly don't offer anything in the way of kids meals here. So... when we sat down we asked our waitress if it was okay if she ate her outside food here. She asked the manager and came back with a yes which was great. If she would have said no we would have left and the restaurant would have been out of our money. We asked for a menu but were told the only option was the all-you-can eat special at $21.95 a person. You have to come here hungry The waitress was great. Helped explain a lot of things and recommended some food. It looks like everyone here is still happy to work here! Always great with a new restaurant. If this service stays consistent they are really going to do well here. The sushi itself was really good. But keep in mind, I'm no sushi snob. I eat at, and enjoy, places like Sushi Station and Taste of Tokyo (nearby all-you-can-eat sushi places). I would say 5th avenue is much better quality than both of these places. Also included in the offer is all you can eat appetizers. And there are really good ones to choose from: Shrimp Shumai, Calamari Tempura, Gyoza YUM! When you order these appetizers you get little sample size portions. When the sushi comes you get a crap ton so you better know that you will like what you get. It was a bit busy when we came. And they just opened not too long ago. But the service was really slow. From time of order to getting sushi it was a 30 min+ wait. They are labeled BYOB on their window. But they have liquor behind the sushi bar and a Sapporo sign lit up in the window. Not sure what is going on with that. My humble recommendations for improvements here: Get more fruit and kids menu items here. Otherwise you turn away families entirely. Your sushi is great. I would love to come and get a smaller order. Please also offer a NON-all-you-can-eat menu at dinner time. I will definitely come back though. This is cheaper, better, and closer to us than the other eat till you drop sushi places around town.
(4)Tania D.
Unless the food is made of gold, taking a risk to go here is not worth it at all. The service is absolutely the worst I have ever seen, truly! The day we were there, I saw 3 other tables arguing over the service and the bill as well. We waited an hour and a half for our rolls and served a bill that was 30% more than expected. We asked to simply pay for the rolls individually and please honor the sign they had in the foyer when you walk in that read "Buy 1 signature roll, get 2nd 1/2 off!" We did not want the all you can eat price of $21.95 pp. No, they wouldn't honor it. We were charged at $21.95 and still left hungry, scared to order anymore food and wait another hour. Service was sooooo poor that our blonde waitress never refilled our drinks nor comped an appetizer or anything after waiting 90 minutes for food to come. It was a horrific experience and they use "bait and switch" tactics that you only read about anymore. Unless you want to be haggled with old school used car salesperson tactics, don't come. You will walk out feeling violated somehow.
(1)Kristine S.
Total disaster. Please make sure you do not get a table with a certain blonde waitress. If you were treated as badly as me and my guest you would understand why I feel the need to warn you. Aside from her not introducing herself it took 45 minutes for appetizers and 2 hrs for simple rolls. Waitress completely ignored us and kept messing up our orders for only a party of 2. Was disrespectful to me and my guest along with her co worker. Put words in our mouths about messing up our order when another employee had to assist us becuz she previously disappeared for 20 minutes. She then lied about comping the order and made a huge scene trying to bully us and then crying, all completely unprofessional. I am a genuinely understanding person but this waitress should not get away with treating people this way. Especially when you supposedly represent a restaurant named after Fifth Avenue.

This place just opened right by our house and we decided to give it try. The food wasn't great. It's a typical all you can eat sushi place. No taste, stuffed with rice and no real flavor to anything. The only nice thing about this place that it's BYOB. So if you love sushi and know what a real deal should taste like, this place is not for you. The service was good and the place itself has nice feel to eat but the food is a big disappointment.

Great staff, all you can eat is 15% off, sushi is pretty good, mom n pop run place. Very inviting.

One star. If I could give 1/2 I would. Now Im giving 1 star not for the quality of food or service of staff, but how the business is ran. I came there once before... Didnt want to leave a negative review then. Thought maybe it was a bad time. But two "bad times"... Poor experience twice! - Im sorry but Im leaving a bad review this time for sure! Maybe the food is great, maybe on regular day the place is nice and food gets served within the first two hours *rolling my eyes*, but today - Valentine's Day, I brought my son (11 y.o.) for dinner (gave 5th Ave Sushi a second chance) but excuse me... The experience was unacceptable! AGAIN! It was so busy there, that we waited for our food for over 1 hr and 30 mins and still it was not in process of hapening, so we cancelled our order and left. HUNGRY! Oh yeah we did get apetizers, kids soda and unlimited green tea, for which we paid something like $15... Left $20 on the table even tho it wasnt worth $5 tip just to get out of there as quick as possible! On the other hand the carry out orders were done pretty fast, and poor dine-in customers just sat and sat and waited and waited! Never I will return there again, even if they offer to dine for free. Now today was supposed to be special... Waisted 2.5 hrs in a crazy place and left without dinner. Saw many other families leave with small children as well, as they were starting to cry because they were hungry! What a Valentine's Day Dinner! Sorry dont have pics of their food to post coz we never got any!

Enjoyed the sushi for the price paid. BYOB. Customer service disappointing. After we ordered sushi and ate it (suggest no more than 3-4 rolls), we were enjoying tea and conversation when the server asked us to leave as there were more people waiting. We looked around and spotted 4 other open tables. Made us feel rushed, unwelcome and put a dent on otherwise pleasant experience. Try mango tango, but go somewhere else if you want to enjoy conversation with friends.

Food is good, but the service was horrible. I feel like I was in the twilight zone leaving this place last night. The customer service was horrific. We ordered a few rolls, and then decided to give it a 2nd round and order some more. After waiting for 30 minutes for our 2nd order, I asked the waitress if we could please have our food to go because it has been 30 minutes since we have been waiting for this order and over 1 hour since we have been in the restaurant. The waitress was not happy with me and brought over the Manager who wanted to charge me $39 for the leftovers I wanted to take. That is almost double the price for one person to eat the all you can eat deal. We began to explain that we had been waiting way too long now and had to go. We had 2 kids with us and it was snowing and we couldn't wait indefinitely for them to bring us this order. They didn't even start making it yet and it was 30 minutes later!!! We went back and forth with them and they would not budge on the price of the left overs. They were rude, yelling and they didn't care that we had been sitting with no food for over 30 minutes and that we just needed to leave already. All we wanted was to actually eat something for the $20/person we had to pay. We barely ate anything!! I have never seen such rude business people. Do not recommend going to this place, there are other sushi buffets that are just as good and value their customers.

Mango tango slays my life. The external view of the restaurant does no justice for the aesthetically pleasing interior of the establishment. Every staff member I have come across has been nothing short of kind and attentive. Cold edamame was the only negative aspect of my meal. Better ingredients, better sushi, 5th Ave!
(5)Taylor M.
How does this place have a four star overall rating?! Yelp failed me with this restaurant. I went with my mom. For a birthday dinner and we did all you can eat sushi. Well, that's what I thought we did. In reality it was more like all you can eat rice. The sushi minimal amount of sushi they put in the roll was not fresh. It tasted fishy. The one time the waitress asked how the food was I told her honestly that the fish I was pulling,out was too tough to even chew. She responded "oh yeah the yellowtail" and just walked away. I am by no means new to sushi and this is not how it is supposed to taste. Since we already ordered all you can eat, we switched to the appetizers hoping they would be better. But they weren't that great either. Later that night I had a bad tummy ache and some other symptoms you probably don't want to know about... So did my mom. It just didn't sit right. So do yourself and your stomach (and palate) a favor and stay away from this place. If you need AYCE go to Sushi Grove in Buffalo Grove. The same price with a better atmosphere and fresh fish. I should have known by the lack of diners that the fish here would be old.

The rice of my sushi tasted terrible, maybe not enough vinegar? Not sure what had gone wrong. I ordered shrimp tempura for my appetizer but it had 1 piece of shrimp in it and 2 pieces of vegetables. Seriously? there was an option for vegetable tempura, why did my shrimp tempura had more vegetables than shrimp? Also the shrimp tempura was very dry. Fried calamari was not good, too greasy. House salad was hard to finish, too much sauce. The fish was not very fresh here. No sashimi on the buffet. Was really looking forward to some shrimp chips, which they bring out shrimp chips and edamame to every guest to visits but the shrimp chip was bitter. 21.99 with 15% off the buffet because they are new in town. The only positives here are that nice ambiance and very friendly service.

Best sushi I've had in a while! I ordered the sushi buffet and I definitely got my money's worth. The unagi (eel) was still nice and warm when it got to the table, and the sushi rolls were unbelievably filled with flavor. Each roll tasted different, rather than the same fishy mush. I don't remember which rolls I got besides the Mango Tango, and you may be thinking what? Mango in sushi sounds gross! But, honestly it was so delicious after every single piece. So in conclusion: 1. All you can eat sushi is affordable and the variety of rolls and nigiri allow for endless variety in orders. 2. Environment is great. The warm toned lights and colored ceiling really adds to the genuine aesthetic. Also bathrooms are nice and clean. 3. Service is great! Owners were very polite and tentative. Make sure to tip because I know from experience that making sushi/waiting tables is no easy job! I hope you all try this place next time you swing by the area. Definitely worth the price!
(5)Stacy G.
One of my favorite restaurants. Food is so good! My two favorite rolls are the mountain and angel hair. The all you can eat in unbeatable value and it's not buffet style it's made when you order. I also love the shrimp tempura app. Service is friendly and attentive. I can't say enough great things about this place.
(5)Sherwin C.
5th Avenue Sushi is a restaurant that has sushi similar to Sushi Para, decor similar to Sun Shui, and plating similiar to Sushi Ai. Its ingredient quality is similar to those of better sushi restaurants in the area (although the vegetables could be a little more crisp and fresher - but I'm probably spoiled by going to Sushi Para) but the flavor combinations are better designed and uses less sauce than most other similar restaurants in the area. The area in which this restaurant really shines is presentation. Both the plating and the design of the rolls is beautiful. The dining room is also spacious and comfortable with a city-like feel to it. The thoughtful design even extends into the washroom with modern materials used throughout to give it a chic feel. The service was also prompt and friendly. The food comes in generous portions at good prices. When my group came here for lunch we got appetizers such as shrimp chips and edamame and then either salad with miso dressing or miso soup and seaweed salad to accompany the meal. It was very nice to get so many extras for a lunch that was inexpensive for Japanese. The frying here is very good so make sure you try dishes that contain items such as shrimp tempura, fried soft shell crab, fried squid, etc. Overall, this is another great sushi addition to the area and a great place to take friends where I know they'll enjoy the atmosphere and food as well.
(4)Harry C.
Sushi here is amazing! All you can eat sushi for $18.65 is totally worth it! It's not like any all you can eat sushi in those buffets. I'd recommend it to anyone for the price and the fact that you can see your sushi being made before the counter is even better. Their music choice is so on point too!
(5)Randy T.
My NEW favorite Sushi place, way better then sushi para. The staff is very nice and always checks on you if you need anything. The sushi is fresh and cost is affordable !
(5)Samantha R.
It is obvious by their business model they are trying to take down Sushi Para. They will fail. I went in by myself on a Thursday evening for a quick dinner, and the place was empty, maybe two other tables were occupied. Service was mediocre at best for a place that was so empty. The food came out quickly, I will give them that though. They are an AYCE sushi "buffet" with a large menu and $21.95/person. The inside is very modern and trendy looking, and there is ample seating. Their sushi bar was small and had several seats in front of it. When I sat down, there was edamame at the table and I wasn't sure if it was for me, or if it was leftover from another party, so I didn't touch it. Service was not that great for a place that was so empty. I had to wait awhile for someone to come take my order sheet from me, however, the food itself came out quickly. I was INCREDIBLY disappointed with the food. Probably some of the worst sushi I have ever had, including sushi from Pei Wei and Jewel. I knew if I didn't eat it, I would still have to pay, and I would rather eat and pay, than waste food and money. The fish was all very fishy tasting, and lacked any palatable flavor besides fish. They put way too much sauce on all of the rolls that required sauce, and the rolls that were supposed to have tempura crunch on them didn't have any crunch at all. I ordered one roll that had something on top, I am pretty sure it was the Volcano roll, and I thought it was going to have all the ingredients wrapped on top of the roll nicely, but instead, it was everything almost pureed together into some sort of abomination of sauce and fish. Nothing tasted fresh and I had to scarf my food down in order to bring myself to finish. I was so upset because all of the Yelp reviews seemed great and the menu looked amazing online. Unfortunately, it wasn't up to snuff. For less than what they charge, I could have gone to Sushi Para and eaten fresher tasting stuff that I would have been willing to wait for. I'm glad I gave this place a chance, but I was very disappointed in the overall experience.

Dont Let them accidentally spill water on you, you won't get them anything out of it.
(1)Food S.
Even better than any of the reviews mentioned! Super friendly staff, great prices, great food... If you like sushi, and lots of it, this is a place to visit. Btw appetizers are included in the all you can eat.
(5)Kevin M.
Srs. Great sushi the whole atmosphere was great and relaxing. The presentation of the sushi was so artistic. All the employees where nice and helpful. It was the first time here and our waitress explained all of their menu and specials and was very helpful. They have an awesome drink list and happy hour special !! The restaurant is modern and clean. I highly recommend it !

I am back to this place again, and I probably had about 40 pieces without leaving a single sushi roll on my plate. I know how much I can eat so that's not a problem. :D (by the way, I'm a 5' 2'' tall female in 20s and I'm not overweight) I should probably change my career as a food fighter and make my own program called "woman vs. sushi". My husband and I are in DC now so it's really sad that I can't go to this place as often as I can, but now I can at least update my favorite sushi place's review. I'm pretty surprised that some of yelp reviewers here don't read the rules when it's clearly written on their menu.. I can assure you all that this restaurant is definitely worth much more than 1 star. And those people who had issues with servers and the restaurant owner, this would not happen if you communicated with them BEFORE it happened. 1. For sushi buffet or any kind of buffet place, you CANNOT take your leftovers. It would be really silly if I went to Old Country Buffet, took 4 of 5 beef steaks and tried to take them for to go. Buffet noobs please read this. 2. I CLEARLY saw "you will be charged for any leftover food from buffet orders." When I visited this place first time, my husband's best friend thought we wouldn't be charged for some chunks of rice but I asked the server because I wasn't 100% sure. Any leftover food, including chunks of rice that was taken off from sushi, will be charged (this doesn't apply for non-buffet orders) I try to respect people who provide good service and food. There are things that this restaurant needs to fix though. The restaurant's chefs probably need to make sushi different (much better quality) if they make sushi for non-buffet customers (as they pay more money for less sushi). Also, they need to find out how to make sushi fast if the restaurant is crowded with buffet people. Since this restaurant's buffet-style sushi rolls are not pre-made and waiting for customers in advance, I would avoid having buffet lunch/dinner during peak time (11:30am-1:30pm and 6-8pm)
(5)Mallory Z.
So many all you can eat rolls to choose from! Appetizers are included too. The rolls are great. They don't cut any corners with the all you can eat. Our sever was friendly and attentive. Not much more to say. Come hungry and leave happy.
(5)Megan M.
I love sushi. I also love to eat, a lot. No, seriously, a lot. You can understand why all you can eat sushi would be so appealing to me, especially nested right in my backyard. Brand new, the staff (Angie specifically) were extremely attentive. I took my seat at the sushi bar, and reviewed the plethora of offerings on the all-you-can-eat menu. The appetizers are very small, like mini tapas plates. I had the house salad, the seaweed salad and the edamame to start, and proceeded to order roll, after roll, after roll. Volcano, good. Summer, refreshing. Mango tango, yummy! Natoro, fresh and crisp. Pacific, incredible. Spider-Man, fantastic texture. Godzilla, epic. I passed on the dessert- though, oddly enough, I could have eaten it. Angie, my server, was very helpful in making recommendations, though she doubted the elasticity of my belly initially, she now knows. She kept me paced, and made me laugh and kept me nourished. The chefs were fast, but also personable, checking in between orders, and presenting beautiful and delicious rolls Overall great service, great value, great sushi. I'm so glad I've a place to practice my gluttony :)
(5)Colleen T.
I LOVE 5th Avenue Sushi! I am very picky about my sushi and this place did not let me down. I have tried other restaurants that offer the "All you can eat" specials and they all delivered food that was less than great so I was nervous to come here. My sister raved to me about it so I had to give it a try and I am so glad I did! To start, the staff is so friendly and welcoming. They told me about all of the specials and weekly promotions they offer. It is BYOB which was really nice, as most sushi restaurants don't offer many choices. When the food came it was fresh and tasted exactly like if not better than the restaurants I have gone to and paid double. Side note, the crab rangoons were better than any chinese restaurant I have ever gotten! I have never been so happy with everything I've ordered and will definitely make this my new go to sushi spot.
(5)Seely L.
They done it again made this place Evan better the updated there all you can eat now with every roll you order on the all you can eat you can get 3 sashimi with this this is by far the best deal so don't miss this come in and try and the service was great as always
(5)Eugenia C.
One word Amazing! All around best from atmosphere to service and top notch food. Definitely a hidden gem.
(5)My T.
I read some of the reviews where they gave 1 star not bc of food but bc of service. Specifically, bc they had to pay for left overs at an all you can sushi joint. Give me a break! Yeah, let's order 50 dollars worth of sushi and take it home. Ridiculous! Honestly, how many all-you-can-eat places will let someone take food home? FYI, all sushi places I've ever been to, in this state or the next, with all-u can-eat have the same policy. I'm not from the area. I tried and liked it bc a lot of the other sushi places around here close down their lunch around 2:30 and my sushi craving hit around 2pm. The house sake was good. The rolls were spot on. I completed plenty of work emails in the time I was there. It's a tough restaurant market. Everywhere you look a restaurant hangs on the corner. They hold their own despite this. Maybe it's not the busiest, but the atmosphere, manager, and waitress were tentative, timely and food taste was quality over quantity. Give them a try and we go from there.
(5)Liliya S.
The service was super fast, very courteous staff, nice atmosphere. I was offered a deal buy one, get one 50% off.
(5)Olena Y.
I love this place! I will never go back to sushi para again. Their tuna is so good it melts in your mouth unlike some other sushi places where it's very rough and chewy! Highly recommend this place the staff is wonderful also :)
(5)Andrea B.
I was so excited to try this place from all the reviews I read and let me say wow, I have never been so disappointed. The sushi was pretty good but that's not why I gave this place such low rating. The customer service was horrible and by horrible I mean horrendous. (In case you don't want to read my long rant I will be more then happy to summarize it. We came. We ate. Manager/owner (not sure) was so rude. Wanted to charge 1$/left over piece. We wanted to take the left overs to not waste food. Pay bill (after 30 min altercation) waitress comes over grabs our take out boxes of good sushi and throws it out in front of us). They had no remorse. Poor hungry people in the world. My friend and I had left overs after the all you can eat and it was clearly the end of the world for our waitress and manager. Since this wasn't our first rodeo we were aware that we would have to pay for some kind of fee. I was so full but I really wanted the left overs because I would be hungry again in an hour or two and I would of loved to eat them and bring some home for my roommate. 1. After making it seem like the end of the world the waitress said I have to talk to the manager about ur left overs, we were a little confused but said okay. 2. She disappeared into the back with our sushi for a solid 10-15 min (this was alarming. Why was our food missing for so long?) 3. She came back with everything packaged- this was annoying. My friend and I were going to two different places why was there one box when we had not even asked for it to be boxes at this point. 4. Waitress proceeded to drop the box on our table and said "ok, additional 20$". You should of seen our faces. 5. We said no and asked for the manager 6. Manager came over and flipped out, yelling at as asking why we don't want to pay the bill. We calmly explained we are more then happy to pay the bill bc we eat and we are not skipping out on the bill. The issue was Us being charged $1/left over piece which we felt was a lot. We explained that other places charged a flat fee vs a monetary amount per piece. 7. The manager then looked at us saying I've seen you here before you know the rules. For starters this was a "grand opening" and I shleped from the city and my friend and I had NOT ever been there. This was our first time and we were super excited to try it Fast forward 20 min She said she will wave the fee but next time we know the rules. We politely said there would not be a next time because she had been so rude, and needs to reassess the meaning of customer service. Semi long story short they brought us the bill we paid for our all you can eat sushi dinner. And then the waitress came over picked up our left over boxes and threw them out right in front of us. I WAS LIVID. They made such a big deal of us wasting food (which we weren't we really wanted the left overs) and then in the end they threw out 2 1/2 worth of rolls. This really upset me. I didn't want to waste the food and was willing to pay a flat fee for the left overs. There are hungry people out there and just to prove a point they threw everything out.
(1)Rusty S.
This is by far the worst all you can eat place I have been to. The proportion of fish to rice is terrible. I have never seen a tomago cut in half and served over their huge blob of rice! When we took a bit of rice off they charged us a dollar potter piece of rice. This WILL be the last time I ever come here! Just terrible.
(1)Ksenia P.
I like this place! Unlike sushi para, very clean and big dining room, small pieces rolls loaded actually with fish and not rice, rice and more rice! Keep it up guys! Definitely will come back again !
(4)Amelia I.
Lets just start by saying its one of the all you can eat sushi places that we ALL know will charge you for left over sushi. That is NOT a reason for people to be bashing this place! You chose to overestimate your appetite, not the chef who expertly made your noms. Okay rant done. I've read a lot of negative reviews about this so I avoided it for a few sushi date nights until finally I'm was like lets try this place! First impression is that its big and the decor confuses me a bit. The little chandelier lite and the mural kinnda went two different ways for me. BUT I dont care what the place looks like as long as its clean! We were promptly approached by a waitress (I think she may be the owners wife, she seemed more invested than just a waitress) who asked if we wanted the AYCE. HECK yes I do! We sat by the sushi making station and watched them prepping and rolling. I was a little disappointed it was so empty in there, I feel like they've gotten a bad rap. The menu was pretty extensive, from maki to sushi. I asked if they'd let me order with no tobiko because I dont like roe, and didnt want them to waste it on me scraping it off. Waitress said no prob, just scratch it out. I like that because some places get offended if you make changes. They give you a little dish of edamame and they serve pepsi products. The BF for some different maki, and the 5th ave special roll #2. I decided to give the apps a try (they're included, two pieces an order). I got two orders of crab rangoon, served very HOT and fresh with a nice crunch and good flling, and an order of gyoza. I prefer my gyoza a little crispier, but the filling was good. For my rolls I got the shrimp crunch which is covered in little colorful puffed rice, and after trying the bfs 5th ave special 2, I ended up ordering it too. The waitress made it very clear that the specialty rolls come in 8 pieces and to order in stages. I've done a lot of AYCE so I know my pace and didnt feel rushed at all. On the topic of the waitress, she was not hovering but def prompt if I looked at her. She was on top of refills and bringing more menus for me. She was super nice and I dont know who people were referring to in other reviews about being rude.\ The speed of the sushi making was pretty on point for all other places I've eaten at. The shrimp tempura was freshly made, and tasted like they battered to order. Other reviews didnt mention buy you ALSO get a little ice cream cup with AYCE. I think apps, dinner, and a little dessert is a GREAT deal for 21 bucks. Plus they've got a 15% off AYCE running right now. I say give them a shot, everyone that came in seemed happy and like they were enjoying the food. I feel like if they were in a busier plaza by woodfield they'd do better...that burlington coat factor plaze area is kind of dead... All in all, great dinner and we will def be back. I'd say its better than Asian Toyko on Algonquin when it comes to service, sushi/apps are about on point. The little vanilla ice cream won me too over :)
(5)Zhen Y.
I like this place. The sushi they made does not have that much rice inside. I mean comparing with other stores. Also, I come to this place every week normally. And I think their fish tastes very fresh. Moreover, the service I got was good. I also like the owner here because she did not charge me for my left over when I came here for the first time. I love the ayce the most here. Personally, I can eat quit a lot, so that seems like the best deal to me. In short, if you are also a person who loves sushi like me, this is the right place man.
(5)Henry T.
$7 for a pot of green tea!!!!!!!Yikes!!!!!
(3)Klaud W.
Wow this place is amazing. I came in today for the all you can eat sushi and not only was it great, it's a great value. One thing, you have to pay for whatever you don't eat. I only had 2 pieces left so I finished it off. They let you order as much as you'd like so make sure you don't eat with your eyes lol. Service was great too. Constantly checked up on us and brought us more sushi quickly on request
(5)David B.
Good sushi at a really solid value. I'm a fan of their take out deals. I'd normally say this is closer to 4 stars, but I'm shaky on their service now. We ordered take out on Valentines day and it took close to two hours to get the food. Granted it was a busy day, but no order should take 2 hours (and especially since they said it would only take 45 minutes). It was evident they just forgot about many of the take out orders because there was a herd of take out people waiting forever.
(3)Edward R.
Clean & fresh & outstanding Sushi rolls & pleasant/friendly/social staff....we will definitely be back.
(4)Beth B.
My friend, my 7 year-old, and I visited this place on opening day for lunch. My friend and and I can eat A LOT of sushi, so we went with the all you can eat menu. We began with soup and salad (both were excellent, not unlike what we've had in high-end teppanyaki restaurants), and then we moved on to several rolls. Each roll arrived beautifully prepared, and they were huge! We loved the spider roll, the Pacific, and the Mango Tango! I also love eel, so I ordered unagi maki. That, too, didn't disappoint. I should mention that my daughter who doesn't eat sushi was also well cared for. She had a banana smoothie that she claimed "tastes like heaven" and an order of gyoza. The gyoza were a bit average and not a ton of flavor, but no one cared because we were stuffed on everything else! We will be back. OFTEN. :)
(5)Brooke C.
Great quality special rolls, pretty presentation, and very friendly staff and service, all for $21.95 all U can eat. And during the grand openings week, there's 15% discount! Very happy that we decided to check out this new place. Finally a great sushi place in the hood. Will definitely come again.
(4)Matt K.
So delicious! Great flavor in the miso soup and the sushi rolls were amazing! Ordered the Sakura roll, spicy crab and red dragon. Very good crab Rangoon as well. All you can eat and byob.
(5)Dan d.
Great drinks and very good sushi. The endless appetizers are quite good just don't overdose on them. The sushi is worth the wait. New so very fast service now. It should fill up quickly
(4)Erin B.
I have been here several times now and it is a good solid sushi place with very good quality fish. I really like it overall and it has been consistent every time. They are friendly and they give you free edamame and appetizers if you get the all you can eat sushi deal, which is available every day! Hooray!
(4)Alina K.
Very good place. worth to visit. Great taste for reasonable price. Especially I would recommend to go there with large company n try all you can eat, they offer huge variety of sushi and rolls.
(5)Fernanda B.
Love this place! They have a nice atmosphere, byob and great sushi! Special nbr 2 is my favorite, and there are some worthwhile specials that make it not so expensive.
(5)Adam Z.
This place a VERY good all you can eat sushi place. The portions are very well sized, not enough to load you down with one roll, but just enough to enjoy what you have ordered and still leave room to try more. And everything on the menu so far has been good! The "rice to ingredient" ratio is spot on with good quality ingredients.. Unlike most all you can eat places which are mostly rice! Very nice staff, quick and friendly service. Nice, clean ambience. Not romantic but very appropriate for the purpose. And it is BYOB, which can save you a few bucks if your drinking! Only thing I could do without is the Kenny G playing every time we come! Haha! But that is a small price to pay for good sushi at a great price!
(4)Parker J.
We LOVE 5th Avenue Sushi! Making this a regular spot to go to fulfill our Sushi cravings! The customer service is top notch and the food is good as it gets, especially for the affordable pricing!
(5)V P.
This is opening weekend. Id give the place a 3.5 star rating. I rounded up to four since it's the first review. We began with edamame, miso soup, house salad, and crab Rangoon. The edamame was standard, the miso soup was good, the salad had a delightful ginger house dressing (though there may have been too much dressing) and the crab Rangoon was very cream cheesy but tasted great with their house sweet and sour sauce. For our sushi, we got the spicy tuna, crunch salmon, rainbow roll, the mango tango, ocean view, and pacific. Our favorite was the ocean view. This one stood out among the others. The others were just okay. No complaints at all except for the amount of mayonnaise used in the crunch (too much) and the spicy tuna wasn't spicy enough.
(4)Jackson N.
5th Ave is absolutely my new local sushi spot. If you know the difference between good sushi and not-so-good sushi, eat here! Unless you're at one of those high-end $100+/plate sushi boutique spots, you won't beat 5th Ave. this is a great date spot. Great dinner for 2 for about $50? Awesome! The fish is very good quality, and the rice is perfectly portioned and seasoned---and none of that rice overload on the nigiri! The staff is friendly and polite. Complimentary ice cream at the end is really a nice touch. They are conveniently located and run valuable promotions too, so look out for deals.
(5)Erika M.
The two stars are for the service. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. I can't give any stars for the food, I had the "all you can eat sushi" deal and honestly all the sushi, even different types of fish, tasted the same. Also they charge you an extra dollar for every piece of sushi you can't finish. It's unfortunate, i was hoping it would be much better. I won't be returning.
(2)E S.
Pretty good sushi. The place wasnt packed for a saturday nighy. The wait staff is kind of annoying and look pissed, but whatever. The place is dark and spacious. Sushi was good, amongst the 2 of us, we had 5 rolls. Fish was good, but not spectacular.
(3)Laura N.
We just ate there tonight and the sushi was fresh and delicious and the service was fast. The rolls were a nice size and very filling. We will be going back.

The place was a surprise to us with its fish quality and its value. The service was great. Tempera tastes good with a good portion. I enjoyed the seaweed salad. The fish to rice ratio is right for the nigiri. Miso soup and green tea are tasteless, can use some improvement. The sushi rice can be more flavorful - sweet and sour.

People! Read the rules if you are planning on coming for "all you can eat" deal starting at 3pm. This place is quite awesome. Amazingly fresh fish and a great deal BUT they have pretty strict rules in place to make it possible for you to eat as much as you want for $21!! Duh! You need to make sure you know what to expect to have a great experience here and save your complaints later. The staff is very helpful and friendly and will answer any of your questions before you order. Ask for explanation of the sizes of each roll, etc. Order little first then order more later if still hungry. Don't over order right away and have left overs you will have to pay for. Your plate has to be completely CLEAN of food when you request your check. Not even rice left. Nothing. There is also a small charge when you BYOB. Enjoy!!! PS their fish tastes as if they just caught it! :-) amazing freshness!!!!

The BEST sushi I've had in the northwest suburbs. Although, this place cost a couple dollars more tan sushi para, there is so much more variety on their menu. A lot of different appetizers to choose from and all of their rolls on the all you can eat are signature rolls. My favorite I would say is the flaming dragon. This roll is baked with shrimp tempura topped with salmon, super white time, black and red Tobiko and scallion. Also with house special sauce and spicy mayo. I love that all their rolls taste different. Haha as odd as that sounds , it's true. I love sushi para too but all of it just tastes the same and after a whole it gets old. I also love the customer service at 5th ave. everyone is so nice and friendly. The host I believe is also the manager is extremely nice and adorable. She makes bomb Mai tais ! That's a must to try (; this place is definitely worth the money and time ! Just make sure to go on an empty stomach. Haha it'll be worth it, I promise !

We stumbled across this sushi restaurant in AH during the grand opening week. I'm one of those that is very very worry about freshness of raw fish. They had the all you can eat sushi and it was fairly reasonable with the price and the selection. We decided to try it. We had the 5-6 rolls and appetizers, soup, dessert, etc... All included. The foods were awesome and we'll definitely be back!!!

I've had a chance to take out sushi a couple of times over the past few weeks and have been pleased with my orders. They serve a generous portion of fish and avocado in the roll. Very fresh! I am looking to try some other rolls to provide additional feedback. So far I am a fan.

This place is amazing!! Free edamame, miso soup and house salad.. Plus all you can eat appetizers and BYOB seals the deal for sure. Love it!

We were looking for a new Sushi restaurant last night and came upon a grand opening for this restaurant. This is our 2nd night in a row and both nights were excellent sushi and service!

Amazing sushi and GREAT service! This will definitely be my regular sushi stop :) Every roll we ordered had amazing flavor and came in healthy portions.

The fish was exceptionally fresh and of high quality. The rice was only fair, as were the appetizers. It was delightful to interact with the staff. This is easily the best all you can eat anything that I have been to in my life. Such a deal.

Love this place! One of our favorites when the sushi crave hits. All you can eat, but only order what you can eat. Makes sense don't waste their money or the have to raise the price. Duh. Only negative is its a little inconsistent (Luke warm soup, cold edamame, different toppings on rolls ordered multiple times) but they're new so we will cut them a break. Great servers and management.
(5)Alisa W.
I love this place. I just discovered it yesterday. I will definitely be coming back. The sushi is very tasty and fresh and as much as I love Sushi Para, I think there are more choices at this place.v

Great rolls, nice hot appetizers. Second time here, sushi was great both times! We had diablo and crunch salmon roll tonight. The sushi chef made a special roll for us as well. Try this place out it for the all you can eat deal.

I was disappointed in this place compared to other sushi in the Northwest suburbs. In general, the contents of the rolls seemed stingy. The major reason I won't be back is finding lots of bones in my unagi roll.

I've never been so disappointed before! Food was good but the service was terrible!! So as all of you probably know, you have to pay a fee for left over sushi at all you can eat restaurants. What I didn't know is that they charge $1 per piece! So when the bill came, we asked to speak with the manager, explained that it doesn't state that they charge that much anywhere and they server didn't say that either... The manager was as rude as it gets! So long story short, she threw away the left over food and refused to give it to us. I have never been more disappointed from customer service before! Never going back there again!

Enjoyed the sushi for the price paid. BYOB. Customer service disappointing. After we ordered sushi and ate it (suggest no more than 3-4 rolls), we were enjoying tea and conversation when the server asked us to leave as there were more people waiting. We looked around and spotted 4 other open tables. Made us feel rushed, unwelcome and put a dent on otherwise pleasant experience. Try mango tango, but go somewhere else if you want to enjoy conversation with friends.

Total disaster. Please make sure you do not get a table with a certain blonde waitress. If you were treated as badly as me and my guest you would understand why I feel the need to warn you. Aside from her not introducing herself it took 45 minutes for appetizers and 2 hrs for simple rolls. Waitress completely ignored us and kept messing up our orders for only a party of 2. Was disrespectful to me and my guest along with her co worker. Put words in our mouths about messing up our order when another employee had to assist us becuz she previously disappeared for 20 minutes. She then lied about comping the order and made a huge scene trying to bully us and then crying, all completely unprofessional. I am a genuinely understanding person but this waitress should not get away with treating people this way. Especially when you supposedly represent a restaurant named after Fifth Avenue.

This place just opened right by our house and we decided to give it try. The food wasn't great. It's a typical all you can eat sushi place. No taste, stuffed with rice and no real flavor to anything. The only nice thing about this place that it's BYOB. So if you love sushi and know what a real deal should taste like, this place is not for you. The service was good and the place itself has nice feel to eat but the food is a big disappointment.
(2)Anthony P.
Great staff, all you can eat is 15% off, sushi is pretty good, mom n pop run place. Very inviting.

We saw this place opened and I was eager to try it. We stopped by on a Saturday night to try it out. It's in a strip mall and it's just in a weird location. I was glad to see it was packed when we went. We have a 2 year old. Anyone with a toddler will know a sushi restaurant is no place for a little one. We knew ahead of time there wouldn't be anything she would eat. A sushi restaurant doesn't have any of our daughters 3 basic food groups: Cheese group, Hotdog group, Chicken Nugget group. So we stopped at Wendy's ahead of time for something for her. I know this can be a sticky issue at restaurants. But come on, they reaaaaly don't offer anything in the way of kids meals here. So... when we sat down we asked our waitress if it was okay if she ate her outside food here. She asked the manager and came back with a yes which was great. If she would have said no we would have left and the restaurant would have been out of our money. We asked for a menu but were told the only option was the all-you-can eat special at $21.95 a person. You have to come here hungry The waitress was great. Helped explain a lot of things and recommended some food. It looks like everyone here is still happy to work here! Always great with a new restaurant. If this service stays consistent they are really going to do well here. The sushi itself was really good. But keep in mind, I'm no sushi snob. I eat at, and enjoy, places like Sushi Station and Taste of Tokyo (nearby all-you-can-eat sushi places). I would say 5th avenue is much better quality than both of these places. Also included in the offer is all you can eat appetizers. And there are really good ones to choose from: Shrimp Shumai, Calamari Tempura, Gyoza YUM! When you order these appetizers you get little sample size portions. When the sushi comes you get a crap ton so you better know that you will like what you get. It was a bit busy when we came. And they just opened not too long ago. But the service was really slow. From time of order to getting sushi it was a 30 min+ wait. They are labeled BYOB on their window. But they have liquor behind the sushi bar and a Sapporo sign lit up in the window. Not sure what is going on with that. My humble recommendations for improvements here: Get more fruit and kids menu items here. Otherwise you turn away families entirely. Your sushi is great. I would love to come and get a smaller order. Please also offer a NON-all-you-can-eat menu at dinner time. I will definitely come back though. This is cheaper, better, and closer to us than the other eat till you drop sushi places around town.

Unless the food is made of gold, taking a risk to go here is not worth it at all. The service is absolutely the worst I have ever seen, truly! The day we were there, I saw 3 other tables arguing over the service and the bill as well. We waited an hour and a half for our rolls and served a bill that was 30% more than expected. We asked to simply pay for the rolls individually and please honor the sign they had in the foyer when you walk in that read "Buy 1 signature roll, get 2nd 1/2 off!" We did not want the all you can eat price of $21.95 pp. No, they wouldn't honor it. We were charged at $21.95 and still left hungry, scared to order anymore food and wait another hour. Service was sooooo poor that our blonde waitress never refilled our drinks nor comped an appetizer or anything after waiting 90 minutes for food to come. It was a horrific experience and they use "bait and switch" tactics that you only read about anymore. Unless you want to be haggled with old school used car salesperson tactics, don't come. You will walk out feeling violated somehow.

One star. If I could give 1/2 I would. Now Im giving 1 star not for the quality of food or service of staff, but how the business is ran. I came there once before... Didnt want to leave a negative review then. Thought maybe it was a bad time. But two "bad times"... Poor experience twice! - Im sorry but Im leaving a bad review this time for sure! Maybe the food is great, maybe on regular day the place is nice and food gets served within the first two hours *rolling my eyes*, but today - Valentine's Day, I brought my son (11 y.o.) for dinner (gave 5th Ave Sushi a second chance) but excuse me... The experience was unacceptable! AGAIN! It was so busy there, that we waited for our food for over 1 hr and 30 mins and still it was not in process of hapening, so we cancelled our order and left. HUNGRY! Oh yeah we did get apetizers, kids soda and unlimited green tea, for which we paid something like $15... Left $20 on the table even tho it wasnt worth $5 tip just to get out of there as quick as possible! On the other hand the carry out orders were done pretty fast, and poor dine-in customers just sat and sat and waited and waited! Never I will return there again, even if they offer to dine for free. Now today was supposed to be special... Waisted 2.5 hrs in a crazy place and left without dinner. Saw many other families leave with small children as well, as they were starting to cry because they were hungry! What a Valentine's Day Dinner! Sorry dont have pics of their food to post coz we never got any!

Food is good, but the service was horrible. I feel like I was in the twilight zone leaving this place last night. The customer service was horrific. We ordered a few rolls, and then decided to give it a 2nd round and order some more. After waiting for 30 minutes for our 2nd order, I asked the waitress if we could please have our food to go because it has been 30 minutes since we have been waiting for this order and over 1 hour since we have been in the restaurant. The waitress was not happy with me and brought over the Manager who wanted to charge me $39 for the leftovers I wanted to take. That is almost double the price for one person to eat the all you can eat deal. We began to explain that we had been waiting way too long now and had to go. We had 2 kids with us and it was snowing and we couldn't wait indefinitely for them to bring us this order. They didn't even start making it yet and it was 30 minutes later!!! We went back and forth with them and they would not budge on the price of the left overs. They were rude, yelling and they didn't care that we had been sitting with no food for over 30 minutes and that we just needed to leave already. All we wanted was to actually eat something for the $20/person we had to pay. We barely ate anything!! I have never seen such rude business people. Do not recommend going to this place, there are other sushi buffets that are just as good and value their customers.

5th Ave Sushi is the BEST sushi restaurant I have ever been to. The "all-you-can-eat" is my favorite. It includes all of the sushi and nigiri they have on the regular menu, as well as most appetizers and ice cream. Sashimi is not included, but they offer a deluxe sashimi platter with an ice sculpture and led lights for $21, and it's beautiful! This is a regular lunch and dinner spot for my friends and I. The service here is amazing, and you never have to decide if your glass is half empty or full, because it's always entirely full to begin with. I've seen a lot of people complain about the $1 a piece for leftover on the "all-you-can-eat," and I have to side with the restaurant on this one. The "all-you-can-eat" is just that.... ALL YOU CAN EAT. If you order more than you can actually eat, you get charged. It's that simple-- and it says so on the menu. You can't come in, order a lot, and take it home for later for free.... That's not how it works, and that's the policy for all sushi restaurant with an "all-you-can-eat" menu. I recommend ordering 1 or 2 rolls at a time, and no more. That way you can more properly pace yourself. The waitresses are very pleasant, and will take care of any problems or concerns you may have. People with dietary restriction and/allergies get special attention, and their food is made separate from everyone else's. If you have any, just tell your waitress, and she'll take care of you. The quality of the food is AMAZING, no exaggeration! everything is made fresh to order, with many substitution options (i.e. brown rice, soy paper, etc.). If you ever sit at the sushi bar to watch them make the sushi, you'll see how sanitary and perfect everything looks! I was in awe. I definitely recommend this place to everyone, especially sushi lovers! You won't find another place this perfect for the price!

For $21 all you can eat sushi and appetizers, it is a great deal. However I couldn't really taste the fish because of the high ratio of rice to fish. It's the only sushi joint I know of in the area that is BYOB: $0.50/bottle which isn't too bad of a corking fee. They also have cocktails for $6.50 and a selection of beer. There is a buy one get half off deal on signature rolls from 11am-3pm. Service was very attentive. Mediocre sushi joint, come hungry to take advantage of the all you can eat! The ambiance is kind of weird a lot of chandeliers but this by no means a dress up place. I shall return.
