This is related to pick up service. We phoned in our order, the lady on the other end ( might have been the owner) spoke with a heave accent and was hard to understand ( it was hard to tell if she understood my order). I when I picked up my order the staff was very friendly but again they all spoke with a very thick accent. The restaurant was a cozy little place. I didn't check the order and drove off. I had a feeling to stop and check my order so I did. They forgot 2 off the 6 rolls. I went back and they made the rest right away and threw in an extra roll. The reason I only gave 3 stars is because in my opinion there rolls weren't better then from other restaurant I have had. It is a average restaurant, with ethnic decor, friendly service. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Japanese food, but I would not drive out of my way. read more

Not a fan of sushi, but I came here with a group of friends after clinicals and loved it ever since! Its about a 45 minute drive for me to get here but sometimes the craving is so bad, I just have to! Try the box specials, they come with rice, chicken or beef terriyaki, a fresh salad, and ur choice of sushi or various tempura =D read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday for our first visit. Nigiri was good but the tamago was too firm/old. The rolls were very small and the fish very paper thin cut. Crab stick inside was old, dry, and falling apart. If it weren't for the premium price I'd give another star. read more

Abashiri - Rainbow roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

You know, I was not as impressed with this place as it seems everyone else has been. The sushi was exactly what the rating says "A-OK". I went with my family for lunch and the place was hopping. Service was good for how busy they were and the place looks clean. However, the sushi was good, nothing out of this world though. I tried several different types of sushi so I could get an experience of everything. Spicy Tuna, California Roll, Philly, Shrimp tempura and a couple of others too. Overall if was a good experience, but there is another local sushi place that I would rather have. *Couch*Kinta*Cough*. read more

Yelp, this is one of the few times you've led us astray. First, the hours listed on Yelp are inaccurate. We arrived at quarter to ten, thinking that they closed at eleven. A few minutes after sitting down, they were flipping the sign in the window - it turns out that they in fact close at 10. Second, upon walking in, we were immediately slammed in the face with the unmistakable smell of bad fish. Not a good first impression for a sushi restaurant. My third point might be politically incorrect, but I've found that it's a legitimate means of judging a sushi restaurant... Every single person in the restaurant (not many) - and every single person on the customer wall of fame - was white. Since leaving Las Vegas, we've been reminded how spoiled we were there in terms of Asian cuisine. Returning to suburbia is challenging in a lot of ways. Eating well is among the hardest. read more

Mmmmm...sushi... In my honest opinion, Abashiri is quite possibly the best sushi in Bloomingdale and the only reason why I gave them three stars is because the day that I went my coworker and I both felt that our sushi wasn't wrapped well at all. Off day, maybe? Abashiri is most definitely one of Bloomingdale's best kept secrets as it is *ALWAYS* busy. Be advised that it is only open for lunch and dinner so if you decide to visit, make sure that you know what times they are open because it can get packed fast. They have great specials and their service is always very friendly. read more

One of the freshest sushi places outside of the city. Their AYCE for 24.95 is unbeatable. Also, the cute little hostess/owner, Sumi, just added a 3 roll deal for carry out orders! My wife and I regularly get 6 rolls for less than $50 including tax. Ridiculous for the quality and quantity of deliciousness that is Abishiri. Go there and you won't be sorry! read more

Wonderful sushi! Try the all you can eat sushi with a group of friends. You get to try so many interesting dishes. The lobster sushi is especially good. Many are also cooked for those who do not like to eat food raw. We have gone there a few times and each time is very good. read more

Hands down, best all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in Chicagoland! High quality sushi at a totally reasonable price. The Las Vegas Roll is a personal favorite. read more

Came here on a weekend and it's almost a full house. We did the AYCE which is fairly priced at 25 bucks. We may have picked some of the more complex rolls which had us waiting for a good 20 minutes. Cooked rolls are more time consuming (I assume). Our waitress was very nice and kept our table tidy as much as she could. Just says "SUSHI" outside on their signs but its wonderful! Located in a small strip mall by a bar and grill and matress store. The busier it is the longer the wait for your sushi is. read more

This place is amazing. The food is amazing, service is amazing and the owner is one of the nicest I've seen in restaurant business. I'm so happy I found this place. I'll wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone and I'll keep going back for years. read more

I've had better sushi, but you can't beat the weeknight all you can eat special. They have some good creations on the menu and the service is always top notch. read more

Absolutely love this place. They are one of the best sushi places in the Bloomingdale/Glendale Heights area. The fish is fresh and it's A-1 service. I've been to their restaurants more than dozens of times over the last few years and they never disappoint. I've become kind of a semi-regular and one of the servers (I forget her name) is always excited when she sees me coming through the door. I can't say enough good things about the place. I love especially their spider rolls. read more

Three stars for the food but the atmosphere is what makes me a fan. It's a small strip mall place that somehow gives the impression of being a hopping, happy place. First time I went it was a weekend night and the place was packed and very high energy. We had their all you can eat roll special, which was nice but...3 star, y'know? Second visit was on a quieter night. Slight disappointment here in that they have raw dishes mixed in on the cooked section of the menu. That didn't go over with my dining partner and it always is a downer to send something back. Service is nice. read more

Absolutely one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever been to! Fascinating watching the chefs make their creations and an absolute pleasure to speak with them. We will definitely be back. They have some very creative rolls and very high quality fish. I look forward to trying the rest of the rolls and experiencing more. Also they have some incredible sake that must be tried. One of my favorites is one of the coke sakes. Love this place! read more

Amazing ! Love this little gem ! Great food and fabulous customer service cannot wait to return!

It's a small space with great food. The staff is very friendly and they work hard but it almost seems understaffed because I end up waiting often throughout the entire experience. I've tried their udon which was delicious, and recently I had one of their bento box combos. It contained a California Crunch Roll which I thought was an awesome way to make such a basic roll into something more appetizing. read more

Got my usual sushi meal. Mixed sashimi and spicy scallop roll. The mixes sashimi (regular) packs plenty of variety and volume. My only complaint is that the sashimi pieces are sliced thinner than I'd like. Spicy scallop rolls are just right, with a good kick. I was very impressed with the number of tasty looking rolls on the menu and I look forward to coming back again to try more. read more

This is just about the only thing I miss living out by Carol Stream. Husband and I used to frequent Abashiri a few times a month and leave with our bellies full of sushi food babies. The all you can eat price is great:$25 per person and they have a huge menu of items you can choose from and most, if not all, are delicious. One time we ordered a whole plate of Lion King rolls. They were as glorious as Simba's kingdom and then some. I also like that there's free green tea with the AYCE special. I hear tell there's also free miso soup but why fill up on that when you can stuff your face with more sushi? Give me more rolls and then roll me on out the door. read more

I love this place. I don't go in too often, but they still recognize me and treat me like I am there everyday. The sushi is the best in the suburbs as far as I'm concerned. If you have a friend that hates sushi or raw fish, don't worry about it! They have a bunch of beef and chicken. The only bad thing is that they have some weird hours so call before you go. read more

Abashiri is ok, and the all you can eat is a good deal if you are going to stuff yourself. The rolls are creative and the quality is ok. There are sometimes.. odd things that are left out. For example I ordered their shrimp boats and they just left out the fish roe. Woops? There was another roll I ordered that they managed to just leave out one of the ingredients. Other than that the fish is fresh, the price is good. Edit: I am going to up this to 4 stars. The service last night was very good and the lady who served us really worked hard to make our evening fun. read more

This is an interesting place nestled in a little strip mall across the street from portillos on Lake St. It's pretty easy to miss as I've worked in the area for over 15 years and this was my first time stopping in. Interior is clean and quaint. When I stopped in for lunch there were a few actual Japanese patrons eating here which was a good sign. The menu is pretty extensive and they have a lot of good lunch combos. I ordered sushi combo B which came with miso soup. The soup was hot and tasty. My combo came with 5pcs of sushi and I upgraded to spicy tuna roll instead of California roll. Sushi was tasty fresh and well prepared. Service was prompt even with one server handling 6 tables. I will return and possibly try the all you can eat menu. read more

Abashiri - Sushi combo A - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

We are from Galena,IL visiting a family member. We were staying in Bloomingdale, IL and we love sushi so we decided to try this place out. We were fortunate enough to find this restaurant. The service was great and the food was amazing. The BEST sushi we ever had!!! Will make a special trip just to have it again, also really reasonable prices. read more

This spot is amazing! did not disappoint one bit, got the lunch special with the crab and fried shrimp roll and it was excelllent! i also grabbed the chicken fried rice, the broccoli was cooked to perfection! i will definitely be coming back again read more

First time here, Rolls were fantastic. Can beat the all you can eat price. Service was excellent!

Wow. So awesome. I was in Itasca for work this week and had to get out of the hotel for a night and was craving sushi. Did a quick google seach and double checked on Yelp, and the positive reviews were no joke. Thanks to the guy who recommended the KG roll - ridiculous. Spicy and delish. Anyway, this place is pretty much just a hole in the wall, but all the locals seem to know about it because it was full at dinner time. They've got a great deal Mon-Thurs which is about $25 for all you can eat sushi - even their specialty rolls!!! Unheard of. The catch is that you can't leave leftovers on your plate or you have to pay per piece that you didn't finish. Fine by me, because my friend and I could have paid a ton more for each roll on its own. Everything tasted so fresh, and a lot of it came out still tasting chilled - which was great. I hate when you get room temperature/warm sushi. It creeps me out. We had free miso soup, paid $3 for some yummy edamame, and ate so much we nearly split our pants. I highly recommend this place for good food, friendly service, and good prices. It's not a fancy place, but they put the money where it mattered most! Yum. Wish I lived nearby. read more

After reading the reviews for this restaurant I was cautiously excited. The AYCE was not tested, as that kind of thing leads to obesity. My dinnner compadre and I have sampled sushi from north to south and this place rates... OK. Not fantastic, not great, just OK. I would give it higher marks except for the service. Yes, I read the reviews that said the service was substandard, yet I was not prepared for getting our meal served piecemeal over 25 minutes, like separate courses. What did we order you ask. Spicy Dragon and Crunchy Rainbow rolls, and 6 pieces of nigeri sushi. What?!? And it took a half hour for everything to hit the table? Yep. So even if the sushi was excellent they lose a star for the service. And it wasn't. It was... OK. The bill came to $35.50. Not my kind of dining experience. We will not be returning, not when we could just as easily gone to Sushi Mono in Wheaton. read more

I had picked up sushi from here before and it was really good. last night i went in with a couple friends and we ended up doing the all you can eat sushi. it's a great deal if you want to really gorge on some sushi. only issue i had was the service. it was unbelievably bad. we sat there for TWO hours and only one roll came out at a time. we wanted to have a quick sushi dinner and continue our night but we sat there for two hours waiting to get all of our sushi. the waiters were not attentive to us at all, we waited nearly an hour for our first roll. I've never had to wait so long in my life for sushi. we were all very disappointed. it was really hard to enjoy ourselves when we're sitting there splitting one roll at a time. I'm not sure i would go back based on the service alone, which sucks because the food is good. read more

The sushi is actually pretty good. I was surprised because it's sort of tucked in a little strip mall. The inside is pretty small, only about 10 tables or so. It has a pretty good selection of sushi and tasty dishes for those who do not like sushi. They have changed a few thing with the all you can eat though, no more sushimi. The only negative is that it takes A LONG TIME to get your sushi if they have more than 4 tables of people. They only have two chefs cooking so It will take about 30 minutes an order at least if they are "busy". The servers are very very personable and will joke around with you. They are also very knowledgeable about the different types of rolls and such. This is a go to place if your looking for decent all you can eat sushi. read more

I went with my friends for a birthday party. We went on a Wednesday evening! For a Wednesday it was popping!! But we got a table :-) Let me tell you, i've been to 2 different places where they have unlimited sushi and Abashiri is the best!!! The wide selection of sushi is amazing!!! You can't find that anywhere else (well i haven't just yet.) I love Abashiri, if you are thinking about checking this place out, stop reading and go go go! I would say try the volcano roll, poor sushi bliss!! :-) Also, service is amazing, and the lady waitress was really nice. We were hungry and did not hear before ordering the unlimited that if you do order it you have to eat it all, can't take it home. If there is leftovers you get charged per roll. Honestly, we did not hear that and the lady was sweet and let us off the hook. SO just remember if you want unlimited, order 2 at a time not 5 rolls at a time (NOSHAME) lol! Happy eating!! Enjoy!

This sushi has been a staple in the area for years and years. I've never had a bad roll here! They are very friendly good people which is also great. I'm thankful to live within a few minutes from here but I know people who would drive 30 or more minutes just to get sushi from here. That alone should tell you it's a great spot. read more

1st - great box lunches which are at a great prices. 2nd - All you can you eat is also great if you are really hungry! 3rd - Great services for from great people. 4th - Been going there for 4+ years and never had and issue. read more

I placed a pickup order for Ramen, I wasn't sure which kind I wanted so I agreed with whatever recommendation the sweet lady that answered the phone stated. I'm a rather indecisive person so when she asked if I wanted it spicy or non spicy, I naturally ordered one of each. They were both absolutely delicious! The spicy did have a nice kick to it and the non spicy was incredibly flavorful! I will definitely be ordering again when I'm in the mood for ramen and I'm really hoping when I call back she answers the phone again! read more

Great sushi! AND it's all you can eat I am upset I hadn't found out about this place sooner read more

I live in the area and visit this restaurant frequently. Amazing AYCE deal for $25 a person. Sushi is usually great, I would say 8 out of the last 10 times it has been fantastic. The staff is always kind, the only downside is the service is usually slow so don't come if you are in a rush. read more

I couldn't get out fast enough. I should have taken my losses from UBER and found someplace else. I arrived at 5:21pm and the place stank of cigarettes. Employees were in the restaurant smoking. As soon as I arrived, the smell of fragrance filled the air... I ordered a drink, and took the all you can eat sushi option. UGH. Some of the worst sushi I have eaten in my 30+ years... Loaded with rice, 3 pieces from the rolls didn't even have anything in them - which is odd as they are all rolls. Yes, I did eat enough to fill me up, and enough white rice to last me for a few weeks, but the poor UBER driver had to make a stop on the 10 minute ride for my poor stomach to unload. I spent $30 on the food, and $26 on UBER. I should have gone someplace else. Didn't complain. The lady wouldn't have understood me anyways. Miso soup was good. read more

Nigiri not part of AYCE. Server kept pushing my friend and I to order different things and told us she wasn't going to put the order in for one of the same roll that we both ordered. Rolls were far from impressive. Not really a deal when you do the math. Never coming back here again. And where's my check? It's been 20mns. read more

Sushi box/combo lunch was a good deal: $11.99 for 2 sushi rolls, 3 dumplings and a salad. Sushi itself felt a bit warm on the tongue, that was unusual. Otherwise, was tasty, worth the cost and I'll be back to try something different. read more

I highly recommend to NOT come here. I've been to many AYCE sushi places and this is the first place I've been where the nigiri wasn't part of the AYCE (that's extra) and appetizers were not included. So its not a deal. You can find better places in Schaumburg where it's cheaper and more variety. (Just yelp it) Also, this place is really really slow. I understand we went on a Friday night but it was TOO slow. So, if you go ... just be ready. I would recommend that if they are slow, once you get your order, place your next order. Sorry, I will NOT come back here. read more

We found Abashiri here. Six of us went with the intention of EATING!. We succeeded. Extremely well, BTW. I sometimes question an AYCE menu, but when I discovered it included nearly everything on the expansive menu, my fears went away. Lion King, Volcano Roll, Abashiri Special roll, and more - all great. The Crazy Roll was worth the trip by itself. I did not give a 5, but it was a solid 4.5. The amazing part was turning in orders for over a dozen rolls at the same time, with other tables doing the same thing, and there was a delay of only about five minutes until the first rolls arrived. The server watched our progress and checked on us regularly to inquire if we wanted more. There was no hesitation on their part to offer more for the AYCE for $25 and there was no hesitation on our part to order more. We will be back for each trip to the Chicago area. Well done Abashiri. read more
