Small but a good find! Easily found right off Lake St. in Bloomingdale in a shopping plaza - driven by here a million times but finally stopped in. My husband is a sushi enthusiast and was very impressed. The egg rolls, crab rangoon & potstickers were all top notch - along with the fried scallops. Recommend the plum wine as well if you like sweet wines. There are a ton of options for sushi. Service was also friendly and prompt. Highly recommend! read more

I rarely ever go check out a new place unless I have someone with me for a second opinion. This time my girlfriend and my brother joined me for a weekday all you can eat food coma inducing night of sushi. I am usually weary of the all you can eat tag put on sushi for many different reasons but this was just about as good as it gets. The waitress was very friendly and we received a complimentary bowl of miso soup which is usually the deal and it was good. Then came the rolls. I like to start out with some of the raw ones and move onto the tempura and more spicy rolls later as to not mask some of the delicate flavors in the beginning of the meal. The usual fare of spicy tuna and Philadelphia were very good and not fishy at all. We then moved onto some more interesting ones like the crazy roll and the fire roll. Both were very good with the crazy roll being a definite order. After that the more notable rolls were the rock and roll and the tiger roll - both very good with the rock and roll being a nice light take on a regular roll. By far the most surprising roll was the K.G. roll. At first glance it seemed a bit odd with the tomatoes and a spicy tuna roll. My girlfriend ordered it and it was the shocker of the meal. A perfect balance between very spicy tuna with fresh tomatoes and cooling avocado. The best part of it was the fact that the garnish covered up the rolls completely. It was essentially a small feast in just one roll. A great place to go and try all you can eat sushi with a group of friends. A huge menu so there is no shortage of items for picky eaters. Take my word for it go and check this place out and order the K.G. roll - im not sure what it stands for and I don't care its just that good. read more

Took my girlfriend here because all I have read was awesome reviews about this place. Well they are all true. One of the best AYCE sushi places, everything on the menu is AYCE. Not like other places that exclude items. I was shocked the lobster rolls were AYCE. Baked Lobster roll was awesome. Warm and very flavorful. Got the other two fresh rolls of lobster and lobster and shrimp. Very good as well as both were fresh and awesome. Now when you go here, you'll pull up and be like oh, this doesn't look like a good restaurant cause it's in a mini mall. But it definitely is an awesome place! read more

Excellent lunch specials. They give you a decent quantity of sushi, salad, three potstickers, and miso soup at a fair price. Fresh sushi, friendly quick service, a winner! read more

The restaurant is a bit tucked away and unassuming but the food was great. The AYCE sushi is so worth it! We ordered 3 rounds of sushi and we were so full by the end. I will knock off one star, because we ordered the same roll twice and they seemed to have different textures and flavors, so it seems like the consistency of the rolls are a bit off. Besides that, everything was delicious and our waitress was so friendly! We also ordered appetizers that came with the AYCE and they were so good. read more

Fresh sushi and a cozy vibe at Abashiri. A good place for a casual sushi meal. The staff was frendly.

My newest go to spot for sushi, I wish I would of known about this location long time ago. It would've saved me tasteless sushi spots lol. I'm saying this restaurant is amazingly yummy!!! they have a million creations of different types of sushi. Even baked, I have never had baked sushi but if its this good I am sure it'll be popping up in different locations. It is a bit pricier than most of your typical AYCE sushi spots, but I rather eat somewhere where its this good. I am telling everyone on YELP, you have to check it out for yourself to believe it. I even had the pleasure to meet the owner. Sumi, she is very nice and kind. I will definitely come back here, even though it's a 25 minute drive from home they make the food so good that the drive isn't bad at all. I always leave with a happy tummy. Thumbs up to the owners for making my experience the best always. read more

I came here for lunch with my co-worker..at around 12:30PM...No wait to get seated, but I'm sure it depends on the day.. Food: All you can eat SUSHI ROLLS ($24.95): comes with free miso soup and the overall sushi rolls are good, I enjoyed the crab and lobster meat sushi rolls.. Kalbi Sushi roll.. it's just a little odd.. I think Sushi is meant for Fish....I guess you can get it if you want some Kalbi in your meal...it's just ok tasting.. I'd just go to a kalbi place if I was craving kalbi.. Costs: it's sushi.. so on the higher end..the all you can eat is decent...if you want to try out different rolls, I'd recommend that you just get the all you can eat so your not limited to only 1-2 rolls... if you order 2-3 rolls ... it'll probably be equivalent to $24.95...so yea.. Sushi Rolls ranges from ~$10-$13+ per roll that contain around 6+ pieces?...they are just average sized rolls...thankfully they didn't stuff my rolls with rice... Wait time: no wait to get seated...wait for sushi wasn't too long.. Parking: located in a small strip mall..so you might have to walk a little if there's limited spots closer to the restaurant (meaning 10 steps to restaurant)... plenty of parking...:) Atmosphere: it's sort of small so I wouldn't come here with a huge huge group, but with around 4 people it would be good...I came during lunch time so I just saw ppl eating here during their lunch break... **Note: all you can eat is ONLY for Sushi Rolls..and if you have leftovers or can't finish your food.. they'll charge you..so be cautious in not ordering too much food that you can't eat.. It's good.. maybe I'd come here again for dinner instead of lunch...not a good feeling when you feel like your going to explode (too much eating) + food coma returning to work for another 4 hrs.. which seems like forever! :) read more

I absolutely enjoyed my first visit to Abashiri . I found the list of options for nigiri, fresh rolls, cooked rolls and specialty items impressive. It's a shame that I have lived next door for so long I never tried this place. The prices are very reasonable including the lunch and dinner specials, all you can eat sushi, and the bento boxes. We tried two of the new specialty rolls. The one that stood out the most was the Lambada. We absolutely loved that one. We also tried the albacore tuna in a specialty roll it was topped with smelt. It was very different, but a little too salty. We each had miso soup which I really enjoyed. Needless to say, this will become a regular pit stop for good sushi. read more

Abashiri - Lambada and one other specialty roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

Not much curb appeal but cute inside. Definitely adhering to covid protocol with dividers in between every table. My husband and I got the all you can eat for $25. Some of the rolls were really good, some of the rolls just ok, not a lot of flavor. We barely got any ginger or wasabi. The seaweed salad tasted weird, not good. On our second order the server brought our bill with the food. Not that we were going to order any more just kind of funny, like leave. Then she said you pay for leftovers. We went on a Sunday night and they were packed and tons of to go orders. There is additional sitting in the strip mall with a separate entrance. The server was running back and forth. We were there for two hours! Not sure I'll go back but the place was crazy busy so a lot of people must really like it. read more

Yummm did all you can eat sushi and it was delish. Can't wait to go back. Price was great and server was very sweet

Joke. Ordered food 1 hour before closing and my order was cancelled. I am a regular so that really irritates me.

Sushi 4stars for all you can eat. Wait can be long so it's best to put in 3 -4 rolls a person right away . Dine in is a cluster F Different people will tell you different things. One lady told us they had no tables more then once and once I was able to talk to person at register she gave us a table. Turns out they also had extra seating next door . read more

One of our favorite Local sushi places. Consistent and good! They have a carry out special which is definitely worth it as well. read more

I was surprising how well and friendly service they are. The food are decent and perfect taste for Asians. We were a bit disappointed because we went to this restaurant for sushi buffet and ended up to order from menu, because they don't have buffet from Friday through Sunday. We will revisit this restaurant in the future for buffet. read more

I never knew we had such great sushi in the area. I'm in Addison, so I really never looked west. One day my daughter was really craving sushi. So I found this place and it was really good. When I went to go pick up, there were a lot of people inside as well and it was like a weekday (this was when indoor dining was allowed). We only tried one of that sushi rolls, don't remember which one. read more

Was in town for a few days craving good sushi. Found this spot in a strip mall. Fantastic little place. Hard working, fast sushi chefs. The portions were on par if not bigger than what we get in socal. They only drawback was no uni and byob which is fine the liquor store in the strip mall carries quality sake. read more

The food here is amazing. They have great specials. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

All you can eat for 24.99 i think that's the price. Good price for decent sushi. The squid wasn't included in AYCE but it was my favorite dish. We ordered more but this was all i took pictures of. read more

Their sushi are very, very good. I subtract a star because they do not have environmentally friendly container to-go. And unfortunately, their napkins, chopsticks, straws keep flying off the table (we ate outside) one windy but beautiful evening. One thing I do not like is wastes so I cringe when they brought bunch of napkins left unused (they'll throw away once customer leave). I also did not want straws yet they left them on table. I really have to ask them not to leave these things on the table to waste but they do not seem to be able to understand different languages. I will come back to dine-in only because their sushi ARE indeed good. *posted 11/12/20 to wrong account read more

Food was just OK but nothing special. More concerned about the person who picked up dirty dishes, collected cash from customers & then serving food to customers without washing/sanitizing hands. Now I see on yelp they have multiple health violations! Will not return.. read more

My favorite sushi place. I think they have the most authentic sushi. Great flavor blend and just enough kick. It is a small place but they sure know how to make sushi. Plus you can do all you can eat ahhh my poor stomach lol!!! I should not have chosen this place as my diner after the holidays !!! read more

The sushi is absolutely delicious and fresh! It's the best sushi. Everyone is very friendly. Top notch service.

A great hidden gem for Japanese food! There's a "secret" menu of items meant for more traditional Japanese foods like ramens and grilled mackerel. We only discovered it as my mom loves grilled Japanese mackerel and my brother and I love unagi-don, and this menu happened to have both! The unagi-don was amazing! You get a whopping helping of unagi - enough to fill the whole bento, unlike other restaurants I've been to which give you the most whimpy-sized unagi for your meal. I was waaaay too full to finish my meal sadly, but it was so good I pushed myself to eat as much as I can. My mom's grilled mackerel (saba) was superb as well! They give you the whole mackerel and pair it with fresh sliced melon and rice. The meal may look dainty, but it was so flavorful and filling! Our meal overall was everything my mom, brother, and I were expecting out of the traditional Japanese meal -- nothing too Americanized, yet so simple and filling it left us so satisfied! The prices here for our meals were also more reasonable than other Japanese restaurants I have tried, and they also have AYCE sushi, which may be a little out of my own price range, sadly. I will definitely recommend this place in the future and definitely be returning here myself! read more

I've been eating here for years, great spot with friendly staff. Big fan of the spicy salmon roll.

My wife and I came to this restaurant today based on Yelp's recommendation. We ordered AYCE sushi. The salmon skin handroll had a delightful oil which I appreciated. Albacore roll appeared to have used the same salad dressing, but my wife liked it because of its sourness. Small rolls had a well-treated fillet. Other rolls had generally good quality. I would suggest chefs that fish fillets in small rolls be kept in one big piece if they can. I travel and eat sushi in Japan, Korea, and other places in the US. I would say that this restaurant ranks high on my list of places to visit more often. This is the first restaurant where I closed my eyes to savor the taste of the maki rolls for the past years. read more

A standard when I come back home. They're so fresh and conscientious and a pleasure to be around. I usually get the sashimi special but I've tried everything along the years. read more

My family loves this place. Sushi is delicious! I do mostly takeout. Prices seem fair.

10/10 recommend this place for sushi. It is definitely the best sushi in Bloomingdale and is also fairly priced. The all you can eat sushi is around $20-25 per person. We order from home/dine in at least one a week. The restaurant atmosphere is not fantastic but the food definitely makes up for it. It is always so fresh and has the best flavor. This place is a must try experience for anyone in the area! read more

This is a nice place to go for the all you can eat sushi but a few of their dishes can be a bit salty. So make sure that your really hungry before you go, so that you can get your moneys worth.

queue the beat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mAJU_ZKhEM Put it in my mouth. I said my muthaf*ckin mouth... Yep. That happened. 'Cause I'm eatin' all-you-can-eat sushi like all.damn.day... okay, maybe not all damn day, but defo for a few hours and defo enough sushi that a regular person probably could have spaced the quantity out to last the whole day. So there's that. Miso soup, green tea, sushi rolls like whoa and these little shrimp + raw quail egg boats that aren't part of the AYCE special, but are pretty much life changing and something you should for sure plan on getting on top of the AYCE menu. And while the sushi rolls weren't the freshest, nor the greatest, the $24.95 AYCE price and the variety of specialty rolls is outta control. I don't why you'd do anything but that... and those shrimp+quail egg boats. I was glad I went with a decent sized group so we could all pig the f out and try a little bit of what felt like almost everything. I'd get into specifics but honestly, I ate so much that it all kind of became a blur. In fact, at one point I actually inhaled the seaweed part of a roll that had come undone and partially lodged in my windpipe. I tried to dislodge it with my tongue and then by deep-throating my chopsticks to try and grab it, but then it became apparent that if I didn't get up and try to purge this piece in the bathroom, that I was probably going to involuntarily puke at the table with my group, or die choking on a friggin' sushi roll at an AYCE sushi restaurant like some modern-day Mama Cass. Anyway, I *somehow* summoned all my strength and was able to clear a tiny part of my wind-pipe to silently excuse myself from the table and take care of business in the bathroom. I *think* I was discreet enough that no one noticed at the time, but figured it best that I come clean now so as to squash any suspicion of an eating disorder. No habitual or voluntary purging here, just a shoveler by nature and sometimes I pay the price. Anyway, check out the pics and see for yourself. I didn't take pictures of everything because we got sooo much stuff and I didn't want to be that super annoying and make everyone wait to eat before I can figure out how to work my flash. read more

All you can eat sushi for $25 at Abashiri nearly every day. I went for a friend's birthday and had a very fun time. However, I'm allergic to shellfish and finding rolls sans shrimp or crab was mighty hard. Nearly all their rolls have some type of shellfish included and if not that had jalapeno. I'd go back to Abashiri but skip the AYCE madness and stick to just ordering a few things on the regular menu. It wasn't quite worth the price tag for me. The rolls at Abashiri are a bit smaller than other places, however they offer a good variety of options. It was packed to the brim on the weekend and because of this it would take forever to get our rolls. I'm talking 20 minutes of waiting with no food during our break times. It would be better if they brought the rolls out as they were made instead of waiting for a few & bringing them out together. All in all, I enjoyed Abashiri but am not rushing to get back. I absolutely would like to go again and try more items from them! read more

The sushi was fresh and server was attentive. We went on a slower evening and was thrown off when asked if we had a reservation since there was only one other couple dining. Several times on the ayce menu were unavailable which was disappointing. Overall, rolls were great & ratio of fish and rice was on point. read more
