My dear friend Amy suggested this place for lunch today as a good half-way spot between Carpentersville and St. Charles. We were both wowed. It is indeed tucked away in a strip mall but once you find it, so worth it. The atmosphere and decor is really nice, a step UP from many sushi joints in a strip mall. The chairs are SO comfortable, I can't say that enough! Not that this is why you choose a restaurant, but this isn't some run-of-the-mill sushi joint. I should have taken MORE photos, but I got a shot of the bar area and our sushi platter. Can we say NOM NOM?? They really have a HUGE HUGE selection of all kinds of rolls and the menu shows PICTURES. Not many sushi places do that, you have to go by the description. This is a nice touch for sure, and helped us make our decisions. We did the seaweed salad and green tea first. Yum. Nice portion too. Then the plate (see picture) has: Shrimp Tempura Crunch Roll, Jalapeno Spicy Tuna Roll (our fav, with fresh Jalapeno), Catepillar Roll and Shrimp and Lobster Roll. The service is friendly and attentive, yet polite, not in your face. I honestly cannot wait to go back and try more!! A friend on Twitter pointed out that they have an "all-you-can-eat-sushi" option at lunch. I'll have to ask about that! ;-) UPDATE: We've been back several times for sushi here and have always taken advantage of the "All-You-Can-Eat" option. Please note; with that option, when you have leftovers on the plate, they charge you $1 per piece!! It's funny because this evening we got REALLY FULL really early and couldn't finish....and I said to Amy, "This other place with an all-you-can-eat option charges you if you don't finish" and sure enough, we kind of received some attitude from the waitress when we told her we were done. I agree- it is shameful to waste, but we truly had no idea we'd become so full so quickly. So- buyer beware, the sushi here is spectacular, seriously, just be careful ordering on the All-You-Can-Eat option. ;-)

So, I have waited a long time to rate this restaurant, simply because early on, I wasn't sure which way I (or they) were going to go. It was very hit or miss as to the food when they first opened, but they seem to have found their stride and are quite consistent now. I find the rolls to be good and nice sized. I have asked on multiple occasions for the sushi chef to "surprise" me with something new. He never disappoints. Prices are decent, although they have increased recently. As long as I am not in a hurry, this is my local sushi place to go to. Small and cozy. I am a fan!

They only have one type of soy sauce, no low sodium (which I'm used to). There was a fly in the restaurant, and in a very cold October makes me nervous. It landed on my sons food twice (so he had to sacrifice two pieces of sushi). The rolls were different than I have ever had. They were a lot more expensive than Jurin, which is just down the road, and has much better tasting sushi. That being said, my husband, who is not a sushi fan, ordered the New York steak roll and liked it very much. He was pleased with his meal. In the end, my review is that while the owners are a very nice couple, the sushi didn't cut it for me. Jurin will be my next sushi experience in the area.
(2)Ray M.
Decent food, but they won't give a little bowl of miso soup to my daughter?

I will say this isn't my first time buying sushi from here, but it's been a year and I thought what the heck why not give it a second chance. They have a pretty decent deal getting three rolls for $25 and when I went in there and watched the sushi chef prepare things looked fresh and there was lively conversation from a couple of other patrons sitting there waiting for their food. I made sure to try and spread out and get a couple of fresh rolls some cooked rolls and tempura to really give a chance I bought six rolls equating to about $54 worth of sushi and I'm only getting $25 worth out of my money three of the rules are inedible it's not just my opinion I had a couple of friends come over and we all sat down to eat dinner and we were trying different things. While things looked amazing the fish that was inside felt very slimy and although I know it's fish and had a very dirty taste to it. Almost as if it wasn't for as fresh as it could've been. The atmosphere was great the service was a little slow but other than that very charming people. I don't know if they just don't get fresh fish but the quality just wasn't there for the money I spent. I won't be returning anytime soon.

Today I tried them for the first time. I got the Roselle lunch combo which includes an Alaska roll, Boston roll, 3 dumplings, miso and salad. With tax 10.60. When I walked in at lunch time there was only one other couple sitting at the sushi bar. They must be regulars because they were talking to the chef like they knew eachother. The waitress asked me sit to place my To go order and told me about specials she was very friendly. So why a 2 you ask the salmon was so thin it was almost like I ordered a rice roll. The salad was yellow and included the parts of head lettuce you normally throw out. The Tuna was ok. Caputo's down the street makes better then this and is not laking the fish.
(2)Jennifer D.
They've come a long way since they first opened... Creative and tasty sushi dishes and love the udon soup with tempura. Very friendly and have excellent sushi specials... like any 3 rolls for $25. We often order to go so we can relax at home while stuffing our faces. KG roll is wonderfully spicy! Baked rolls are delicious. Try them out and find your favs. :)

I was torn between a 3 or a 2 star rating, but the service, in the end, warranted 2 stars. Pros: -Like many sushi places, they have a huge menu, including plenty of things to please the non-raw crowd. -We tried 2 different rolls & both were quite tasty. -Several types of sake, Asian beers & cocktails to choose from. -Casual atmosphere, because you don't always want to change out of your yoga pants when you want to go out for sushi. -Clean restaurant with nice decor. Cons: What I found lacking in the service: -While we were greeted by the staff & they bid us a friendly goodbye as we departed, the in-between part was lacking. I'm used to no-nonsense service at other sushi places, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't come check on your customers while they dine. -I like it when the first cup of sake is poured for you, similar to the first glass of wine being poured by the server. Nope, not here. Perhaps that comes with the more casual setting, but it's something small & simple that makes a difference. -I guess our server didn't want us to be gluttons, because there were just 2 of us and we ordered 2 rolls to share (one was a small roll) - when we had finished the 2 the waitress brought us the check. She didn't ask if we'd like anything else, and we actually had intended to try one more roll. Ooookay, I guess we are done. We left.
(2)Joe Z.
Awesome place, it's a shame it's in an empty strip mall set back away from the road. The sushi chef looks like a very experienced authentic japanese chef and it shows. The prices are pretty reasonable, the cooked lobster roll should cost $16 easy, they sell it for $13 (or if you do the any 3 rolls for $25, it ends up costing $8). I don't know why yelp is showing it as closed, it was surely open today.
(5)Clay K.
I have lived close to this place for years but only started eating sushi last year. The staff was friendly and the chef seemed like he knew what he was doing. I carried out so I cannot comment about the service but I was thanked by the chef as I left. That was a nice gesture. The fish was fresh so maybe the below review was on an off day. Spicy tuna rolls were real spicy so I will definitely be back. *Any 3 rolls for $25 special is a great deal right now
(5)George H.
We went here on the glowing recommendation of a friend but I have to say we were not impressed at all. The selection of the rolls were good and they tasted fine, but the prices were high, for two adults and a ten year old (who had udon noodle soup), we walked out with a 90 dollar tab with tip (and no alcohol). For that price I expect to be wowed by the flavors and quality and they fell far short.
(2)Danielle C.
DISGUSTING!!!! If I could give a place zero stars I would! Expensive shitty disgusting nasty old fish trying to be passed off as sushi with horrible service. Don't even waste your time.
(1)Lindsay B.
Sushi Cafe is by far my favorite Sushi place that I've tried in Illinois :) The staff is very friendly and welcoming- both if you dine in and if you take out. I love when I get take out that they have you sit and relax and you can watch your sushi being made. They often have great price specials on rolls, otherwise it can be a bit pricey. I will admit I have never eaten any of the food but the sushi, so I can't review their other items. I go to this place fairly regularly whenever I desire sushi- and I will keep going back :)
(4)Allison C.
Sushi cafe is the best sushi around. My boyfriend and I always go here over any where else. The atmosphere is very nice and laid back. The owners are always so nice and welcome you the moment you walk in the door. Service is quick and the food is phenomenal!! My favorite is the lady roll, must try it if you haven't before.
(5)Arianne N.
I'm currently visiting my family in Illinois right now. My aunt and older cousin took me here for dinner after my arrival flight. I really like the restaurant itself. I thought it was nicely decorated, slightly modern but still approachable. My favorites were really the appetizers. We ordered gyoza and the seaweed salad. Both were particularly yummy! I love seaweed salad and they do it really great there. The sauce that the gyoza comes with has a subtle little kick of spice. As for the rolls, I know for sure we had the volcano roll because that's what I picked. We also had two other rolls. One looked like it was a rainbow roll. Another was I believe mango and either shrimp or salmon. They were a bit on the small size and not very memorable. My aunt made a comment that they used to be really big pieces. My aunt and I both ordered ikura and I got some hamachi. What I don't like is that their sushi order form has all the nigiri in Japanese. I eat sushi a lot, but I still don't have the names of all these different fish memorized in a different language. I was really surprised that one order really was that, just one piece of nigiri. I've never been to a sushi restaurant where they charge $3.00 for yellowtail and give you one piece. It wasn't even the buttery soft, delicious yellowtail. Just one subpar piece for $3.00. The salmon roe was even worse. I noticed that they were all sunken in and dry looking. I ate just one piece of roe and it tasted disgusting and old. I chewed it up really quickly and swallowed it all in one bite to not be rude, but I'd never ever order it if I knew it'd be served to me like that. I've gotten better and definitely more fresh ikura at the grocery store.

Simply the best! Unlike some of the other reviewers who are limited in their reach or wallet, we've been to dozens of sushi restaurants around the world -- some very good and some disappointing. However, we are NEVER disappointed when we visit Sushi Cafe -- it's simply the best!!! The service is always good and the food is spectacular!!! We especially like the Baked Lobster -- we order that every time we visit. In addition, we enjoy the Ninja Roll, Shrimp & Lobster Roll (my personal favorite), and Shrimp Tempura Crunch. And, we'll always try to pick two other choices to round out our meal. The atmosphere can range from busy & noisy to quiet & subdued. I don't care either way -- we go there for the food and the service. And, of course, a round of the Big Sopporo beers. For the money and the experience, you won't find a bette sushi restaurant in the area!!! Five stars all the way!!!
(5)Megan M.
The place was cute. Yes, very clean and the people very friendly. I LOVE sushi and had always wanted to try this place. I ordered a squid appetizer which was really good! And a few other sushi rolls, both cooked and cold. This place has very modern Americanized sushi.. at least from what I have previously experienced at other sushi restaurants. And it was super expensive. The rolls were kind of mushy and not put together well. I got a lot of cream cheese in one section of the roll and none in the other. There were obviously regulars that came in and talked to the chef, so some people may like it. It just was not for me.. again way too modern for my taste. I would not mind trying it again.
(2)Michael D.
I went there with a few friends looking for a serious sushi binge. Ok.. I know. They deep fry some of their rolls.. I understand that. But four guys ate and drank like kings for a few hours on a Saturday and the employees couldn't have been nicer. I had some fairly good rolls considering they came from a place called "sushi cafe"
(4)Vanny K.
TERRIBLE! After reading the good reviews about this place, I decided to check it out myself. I have to say ... this is the worst place eveeer! I started of with the house salad with Ginger dressing and omg! Ew ew ewwww! No way in hell that's a Japanese dressing. I really believe they bought a bottle of Italian dressing and threw in chunks of minced ginger and voila... Ewwwww!! Phony and lazy. Next the sushi... yuck I ordered the volcano roll. It didn't feel like I was eating sushi at all bc the chef drowned it with sweet brown sauce which overwhelmed it ... it was like dessert but with fish in it. After the 3rd roll, I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. The rainbow roll was pretty bad as well. It had shrimp tempura inside and layered with a thin slice of salmon and tuna. I felt like the fish was a bit old; usually fresh raw salmon are shiny looking, slimy and kind of chewy but this place? ... ugh it looked dry, dull and stale. And just when I thought it couldn't get worse.... the green tea mochi... if ya gonna charge $3 for a small piece, at least make it amazing. the ice cream tasted grainy and bland and the tapioca shell wasn't even chewy. are you kidding meeee? After all of that, the total bill was $41.00. I would never go back.

My wife and I went to Sushi Cafe for dinner tonight. We each ordered a box dinner and it was delicious. The server and the chefs were very friendly, quick, and courteous.
(5)V M.
Excellent sushi. Family run business.
(5)Gordon M.
Fresh, good quality sushi, good service, reasonable price, and good atmosphere make Sushi Cafe a place to check out. I can't get there enough.
(5)Tom L.
I found this place when I needed something to eat. It was a little far back so it was hard to see on Randall Rd. But It pretty good. I enjoyed the customer service from the entire staff. There was a lot of variety and things to choose from. I enjoyed the Chirashi as that is usually how I determine how fresh the fish is. The Rolls were generous and big. I'm always a big fan of more food :) And the spicy tuna had one kick. Talk about spicy!! (spicy is a good thing). Overall, The pieces seems very generous and not too over priced. Combined with good service, if I'm ever back in the area, I would come back here. I think people should check it out. For people who live in Elgin or anywhere in the chicagoland area. I do think its a great place to go if you are looking for sushi. Definitely, good stuff.
(4)Clarissa G.
Their lunch menu and 3 for $21 deals are AWESOME!!! I love their baked lobster rolls.

5/5 Loved the sushi. glad we finally tried it! I like this place better than Ju-Rin. Look forward to going again. They were not busy (although it was weeknight) so I hope they stay in business.
(5)John U.
I'm not sure if I was desperate for sushi when I tried sushi cafe the first time. I'd rather have JuRin any day. We tried ordering takeout from Sushi Cafe including a lobster roll. It smelled so foul we didn't even eat it and I took it to the garbage can in the garage to avoid the smell in the house. Won't get sushi from them again.

TERRIBLE! After reading the good reviews about this place, I decided to check it out myself. I have to say ... this is the worst place eveeer! I started of with the house salad with Ginger dressing and omg! Ew ew ewwww! No way in hell that's a Japanese dressing. I really believe they bought a bottle of Italian dressing and threw in chunks of minced ginger and voila... Ewwwww!! Phony and lazy. Next the sushi... yuck I ordered the volcano roll. It didn't feel like I was eating sushi at all bc the chef drowned it with sweet brown sauce which overwhelmed it ... it was like dessert but with fish in it. After the 3rd roll, I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. The rainbow roll was pretty bad as well. It had shrimp tempura inside and layered with a thin slice of salmon and tuna. I felt like the fish was a bit old; usually fresh raw salmon are shiny looking, slimy and kind of chewy but this place? ... ugh it looked dry, dull and stale. And just when I thought it couldn't get worse.... the green tea mochi... if ya gonna charge $3 for a small piece, at least make it amazing. the ice cream tasted grainy and bland and the tapioca shell wasn't even chewy. are you kidding meeee? After all of that, the total bill was $41.00. I would never go back.

My wife and I went to Sushi Cafe for dinner tonight. We each ordered a box dinner and it was delicious. The server and the chefs were very friendly, quick, and courteous.

Fresh, good quality sushi, good service, reasonable price, and good atmosphere make Sushi Cafe a place to check out. I can't get there enough.
