It was my first time at this restaurant but it's one of my sister's go to for sushi. They have an all you can eat option but you need to finish ALL or you get charged for unfinished food, which makes sense. You cannot share this option. My sister and I opted for regular menu which you can share. Ambiance: clean, romantic, quiet, can accommodate groups. They have an area that's like a private room. Might be able to fit 10-12pm Price: pretty reasonable. For all you can eat $27+ and for kids, they're charged by height. Parking: has private parking which is a huge plus Staff: there was one server helping customer and another handling to go. It was a busy night but she was still attentive and helpful and we were a group of 7 w hungry folks. Sushi tasted fresh and delicious. Tempura had a little too much batter for me but was till good. The Miso soup was delish but I can use less salt. The salad dressing was just ok but still good. A bit too watery for my taste. But all in all I highly recommend this place if you're around the area. read more

When I tell you this was a great spot , please believe it . The freshest tasting sushi I've had in a while. The combination of the rice and fresh seafood is on point. The service is amazing and attentive. The ambiance is a whole other story. Think of this as a romantic dinner or even a great chill environment that truly helps you enjoy the food. read more

Tried this location during one of the Lenten Fridays as we wanted to try a new ayce sushi restaurant. The evening was busy causing a longer wait but the orders were always correct. I do wish the pieces of fish on the rainbow roll were a little bigger compared to other locations I have gone too but I would go back to give it another try. read more

I thought the food was yummy and quick to hit the table but disappointed in the server. She was very cold & dismissive, didn't check the table often although there was barely any seated tables. Other than that, great place to catch some quick sushi with a drink. prices are very well. read more

eSushi - Rainbow roll Rainbow (8 pcs) and Futo Maki. - Japanese Near Me - Mt Prospect, Illinois

Called ahead to ask if they have gluten free sushi and gluten free soy sauce that would go along with their all you can eat. They confirmed they had gluten free sauce and gluten free sushi. We drove 30 mins to get here and they said I can have sushi with no sauces, however unwilling to make any rolls without sauce which left me limited options to choose from at $27 for all you can eat. I had to personally go through each item to determine if there was a sauce or crunch. The options that were left from the list were $5-$6 dollars per roll. We walked out; disappointed in the customer service. read more

eSushi - Salmon White tuna Tuna Alaska Roll (6 pcs) Crunchy Roll (6 Pcs) - Japanese Near Me - Mt Prospect, Illinois

Great price for good sushi. The Chirashi pieces of fish were thick solid pieces of Salmon, Tuna, White Tuna, Red Snapper. I was super impressed by the size of sashimi for the price. I loved the Salmon Lover Poke bowl. The octopus salad gives the poke bowl a nice "crunch"/snap texture contrasting the sashimi pieces. I really liked the melding of textures. Multiple members of our party ordered the AYCE sushi. There were only three sushi chefs preparing the rolls, nigiri and sashimi that night. We waited more than an hour before getting the Chirashi dishes. We had 11 people in our group. Eight of us got our orders and finished our meals before the people who ordered their Chirashi Bowls were served their food. I was really excited about the option of AYCE sushi but sorely disappointed that there were so few chefs to be able to keep up with orders of the patrons. I was especially irked to see several plates just sitting lined up at the sushi bar not being served. I want to believe this isn't a nefarious tactic to lure patrons in with offering AYCE but slow service to control food output. Several members who ordered AYCE in our group did put in a second order but almost didn't because we were worried we would be there for 3 hours waiting! Had we known it would take so long to get food, we would've ordered way more initially. I really love the food but overall had a pretty negative experience with the service. read more

We stopped in on New Year's Day, January 1st at around noon. As soon as we set down we were notified that due to the holiday they do AYCE dinner all day if choosing to do all you can eat. (BE AWARE IF STOPPING IN DURING A HOLIDAY) As soon as you walk in, you'll see the sushi bar and walk right into the main area - the restaurant itself is really cute and quiet. We stopped in for lunch about 2 weeks ago and figured it worked out since we hadn't stopped by for dinner. We grabbed the usual appetizers- fried calamari, miso soup, and edamame. There isn't much of a difference between the lunch and dinner AYCE menu besides the side sashimi option and a few extra appetizers. It's unfortunate that they don't include any scallop nigiri or rolls on their dinner menu. Unless you're planning on ordering sashimi, I feel the lunch special has more value to it if you're doing all you can eat. The sashimi itself is really fresh. The yellowtail was to die for!!!! The rice on the nigiri during this visit didn't taste as fresh as when we stopped by for lunch a few weeks ago; it was a bit on the harder side. I will like to say that the service was great! The severs were very welcoming and very attentive throughout the whole visit. We usually go to Sushi Taku in the city when craving AYCE but if you're near O'Hare, woodfield mall, or Schaumburg area- I definitely recommend this place- mostly for the value!!! Hehe read more

I would give E Sushi a solid 3 Stars. I am someone who will always order Salmon when I go out for AYCE Sushi. I have to say, the Salmon tasted a bit sour and fishy for the most part. The rice was seasoned but a bit of a weird temperature. As you can see in the picture I had a couple pieces of Salmon Sashimi that was great and fatty and couple that were odd cuts and tasted sour + smelled fishy. 2 stars on the sushi. I am giving 3 stars for mostly the service and the appetizers as they were superb. I am not rushing to come back but I will say the ambience was nice. Pricing is reasonable for AYCE Sushi. read more

eSushi - AYCE Sushi: Salmon Skin Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, Salmon Sashimi, Salmon Nigiri. - Japanese Near Me - Mt Prospect, Illinois

eSushi is somewhat hidden near the corner of a strip mall, next to a United Health Care office. Ambiance: Really nice. They have this cool display of illuminated fish on the wall and a TV showing random sea creatures underneath the ocean. Very soothing. Service: Good as well. Our waitress gave us menus and all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi paper, and came back constantly to make sure we were all good. Food: decent sushi selection. Make sure you read the description of the rolls via the non-paper menu. You can order two pieces of sashimi for every roll. They also had appetizers like miso soup, crab Rangoon, and edamame, to name a few. Price was as expected for AYCE, around $25. I honestly forgot the price, but it wasn't something that made me think twice about. I will come here again. read more

Was looking for an AYCE sushi place for an afternoon date and stumbled on eSushi! In a very unassuming plaza, eSushi has some of the best sushi in the area. For the price this place was very good. The selection of AYCE sushi is excellent and includes specialty rolls, regular rolls and nigiri. They even have a selection of appetizers that are included in the AYCE option. You know how sometimes when you order AYCE, the rolls start to taste the same? NOT HERE! I was very satisfied with the meal and happy the quality of ingredients exceeded my expectations. read more

For AYCE this place is tied at the top of my list with Sushi Para. I spent way too much time in my 20's at Sushi Para in the city and this menu is strikingly similar. The fish has always been fresh and the servers are on top of it. It's tuck away in a strip center and easy to miss, but the lunch menu can't be beat. If you're craving sushi in the area this is the spot. read more

The host greeted and seated us immediately and was very friendly. The place has a nice interior with tables and booths available. The server was not very welcoming and seemed angry/annoyed and didn't really interact with us. The food was okay. The crab ragoons and gyozas were the best part. The volcano roll was like three fish put together in one roll so it was a weird taste. The Hokkai roll was deep fried which was good but there was a lot of cream cheese and it overwhelmed the rest of the taste of the roll. read more

Highway robbery - this was our go to sushi place. We have ordered from here for years. Tonight we thought it would be fun to bring the kids and eat there. They don't eat sushi, just miso soup and edamame. I didn't know the pink sheets were basically the bible and if you put your Order on it to help organize everything for the waitress, it basically means EVERYONE at the table was signing up for the all you could eat dinner. Waitress was saying something about measuring the kids and I was confused so I said "the kids are only having miso soup and edamame." That's all they ate, we order 3 rolls and a beer. Even when it became blatantly obvious we had no intention to do all you could eat or the kids being able to eat the basic kids menus or that we had any idea that's what we were doing, I was told it's how we were served and they couldn't charge us from the menu as we thought we had been ordering because of portion sizes of the Edamame...I wouldn't even mind paying the menu price of the edamame which is apparently larger but it was clear they weren't going to help us. We calculated the menu price for everything we ordered. $58(before tip) and were handed a $150 check. We loved this place, the food is good. The service, felt like we were taken advantage of because of a language barrier even when it was pretty obvious we were not doing the all you could eat with 5 year olds and by the amount we ordered...I mean we had tiny kids, come on. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be back. I have easily spent thousands in sushi here, and I am just really disappointed with the way this was handled. Probably my last dime they will see from me. read more

I will make sure to make an updated review of me actually being in the restaurant, but for now this was my takeout experience: The sushi took a bit to make, but that's because we got a HUGE order. So that isn't something I will count. The sushi looked amazing and im sure my experience would've been great if I went inside the restaurant. Food was great and everything was fresh and didn't have a fishy taste at all. I would recommended this place if you're craving a wide variety of sushi options. (Their menu is huge, and they have hamachi!) read more

Imo this is the the best ayce sushi options in the suburbs. There are tons of special Maki rolls to choose from, with great appetizers, side sashimi and even a cute little mochi to top it off. Everything I got was absolutely delicious and fresh. The size of the rolls isn't too big or packed with rice which I appreciated, you can definitely try a variety if you pace yourself. The service is also quick and friendly, without that watching over your shoulder feel. Highly recommend! read more

Have been coming here for a very long time. Definitely a hole in the wall but service is always great, food was for the most part good and can't beat the ayce price. The most recent time I went I tried the spicy tuna roll and for some reason it just tasted off- maybe not fresh? The nigiri were good but the rice was still pretty warm which threw me off. Not rushing to come back at the moment! read more

Esushi is a good deal. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. The food is okay. Stick with the nigiri sushi so you can eat more. The other things like the rolls are more filling. Not extremely authentic like the yakitori and taco yaki. The octopus salad was good but not the vegetable salad. Just stick with nigiri and you'll be ok. read more

came here after i found out they have the lunch menu for ayce on saturdays which is pretty rare!! my boyfriend and i found the highlight here to be their nigiri! the quality of fish was pretty standard and for the price of $17.95, we would definitely come again just for it. the rice to fish ratio was just okay though since they couldve decreased the rice some more. we tried four rolls; volcano, green dragon, rainbow, and super salmon. however, they were pretty big pieces and not that special so we wouldnt recommend getting the maki unless that's ur favorite sushi. the tatsuage was honestly so underwhelming bc of how small it was, but nicely crunchy at least as a nice snack. the cucumber salad was refreshing, but the dressing is just okay. service was good and ambiance was slightly dim, but quiet! for the price, we thought it was a great deal and would come back! read more

I placed an order for delivery of the Supersonic Roll ($17), Crab Rangoon ($7), Salmon Combination ($19), and the Shrimp Tempura Roll ($8). Everything was nicely packaged when delivered. The rolls and cuts of fish are generously huge. Crab rangoon was sweeter and smaller than I expected and liked, so I will not order that again. Overall, solid spot for sushi that is relatively affordable and fresh. read more

TLDR; AYCE Lunch spécial is worth if you just want sushi and a quiet atmosphere Food: the price (17.95/person) was actually pretty good for all you can eat sushi! And the CHICAGO ROLL was super tasty if you're an eel lover ! Loved all the nigiri and was struggling to finish all that we ordered since there's a lot of rice with each nigiri (but still a good amount of fish) Ambiance: I also get a little iffy when I see an interesting name for a sushi place but it was actually pretty relaxing for the interior of the place and not too busy. But not stunning. Service: at an ayce, it's nice that the servers weren't coming by too often but I feel like it wasn't the most personable service. read more

Our party of 3 came here for an AYCE sushi dinner, which is currently a competitive $22.95 pp.  The business is only about a year old and the smallish dining room is clean and modern and with contemporary decor.  I'll go with an ok 3 stars for our outing.  We had another AYCE sushi dinner a couple months ago, so I had a comparison data point. I liked the contemporary modern space and all of the lady servers (all Chinese here at eSushi) that we interacted with were friendly, accommodating, and efficient.  As we read that some diners had long waits on their second round of ordering and when it got busier, we ordered most of what we thought we would eat in our first and what turned out to be our only order.  The dining room did get to about 60% full after a while (about 6pm on a Friday), so we may or may not have had any issue.  We ordered about right, though there was a modest uuggh as we walked out. The food was OK, but I can't go better than 3 stars.  The sushi and maki rolls utilized a noticeably high ratio of rice to fish and the rice quality was a little drier than fresh sushi grade rice.  The shrimp and vegetable tempura and fried chicken we also ordered all had relatively thick battering also.  In fact anything that was fried, like soft shell crab, was overdone, and not delicately fried as is typical.  The fish quality was also in the ok range.  The sashimi was on the thinly sliced side.  Don't get me wrong as we enjoyed our outing here, but just telling it like it was for us as far as the food and how they might rate relative to their competition. read more

This All You Can Eat sushi place opening up 5 minutes away from my house was the best thing to ever happen to me. First of all, this place rocks!! The servers are beyond nice and accommodating. More importantly, the sushi here..... WOW. Not only do they have many specialty rolls on their AYCE menu, but the rolls have always been delicious and prepared nicely (never sloppy, no loose rolls). I never tried a roll here I didn't like. They specialize in sushi, but they have a ton of other things on their menu, like teriyaki chicken, noodle dishes, rice dishes, and various appetizers and soups. I've come here with my friends who don't like sushi and they had so many options to choose from (both got yakisoba noodles which was super tasty, as well). There aren't a lot of All You Can Eat sushi places in the suburbs - usually, I have to hike a little to get to an all you can eat sushi place. I was ecstatic when I was informed eSushi opened up right by me since I already tried the other AYCE places in my area. Warning though, if you come here after 7:30 pm, it will definitely be busy. So come earlier or make a reservation if you want to be quickly sat after 7:30. read more

eSushi is a solid sushi restaurant in Mount Prospect. Their rolls are delicious and they do have a $25 all you can eat sushi deal for dine in only - I believe it's for lunchtime? The fish is extremely fresh and good quality every time I have ordered sushi/bowls from them. I only subtracted a star as it's very pricey compared to other sushi restaurants in the area. read more

not a terrible AYCE sushi spot. I will say for the price you pay it's not terrible quality sushi. given at any other place where quality is upheld higher than keeping an affordable price, esushi does the job well. awesome selection of maki and nigiri. i will say hand rolls are extra on the AYCE which is ok, but i recalled other reviews saying it's included. unfortunately it isn't. however, i enjoyed eating here with my gf and maybe i'll come back in the future. not truly set on it. average AYCE place so 3 stars is good for me read more

eSushi - AYCE Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Mt Prospect, Illinois

A solid choice for sushi in the area. I found parking to be relatively easy as they share a lot with other businesses and it's typically not super busy here. Service was quick and friendly, as plates were cleared quickly, water was provided regularly, we were asked if we wanted additional rounds, and food was served promptly. Price is fairly good considering that there are a lot of specialty rolls that are offered, you can order sashimi slices, and there's a nice selection of appetizers available for those in the party who may not be big sushi fans. The dining room had a a good separation between tables so we felt very safe and the waiters wore masks and gloves. The appetizers I tried were in line with what I've had at other AYCE sushi places. Although I think the seasoning was a bit on the light side (which is probably a good thing). The gyoza was pan fried nice and lightly with a tasty filling which had a nice strong pork flavor. The chicken yakitori was grilled just right with a nice light sauce and good meaty pieces of chicken. I liked the batter on the tatsuta age, but would've preferred if the meat pieces were a little larger. Finally, the tempura I tried was fairly crisp and the oil tasted fresh. As for the sushi. I'm not sure if it's completely fair to judge AYCE during a pandemic as pretty much all the restaurants I've been to haven't been as good for carryout sushi during the pandemic as they were before the pandemic. So with that said, the sushi here is in line with what I've gotten recently at other restaurants. The construction of the rolls, flavor combinations, and execution are there -- just things like the avocado isn't as fresh or cucumbers as crispy as you'd expect when a restaurant is super busy. I still enjoyed my experience though, knowing that once the pandemic is over -- this without a doubt should be improved across all the rolls. The rolls have a pretty generous ratio of toppings to rice. Surprisingly, there is quite a bit of fish in each roll in places where other restaurants would either give you more rice or add additional vegetables. This is quite apparent in their specialty rolls where they may layer several different types of fish on each other. These specialty rolls do have a bit more choices of specialty sauces and fish combinations to provide a change of pace from the standards you see at other AYCE. In particular, I also enjoyed deep fried rolls that contained cream cheese as it was served at a nice semi-molten temperature to give that perfect comfort food feel. The sushi here was alright in the AYCE, a little heavy on the rice and it didn't have seasoned vinegar. Overall, given the price, flavor, and the selection I'd return here again. read more

My friends and I only ordered two sushi rolls, but we were charged the full all-you-can-eat price. When we brought this to the staff's attention, a woman came to our table and caused a scene in front of the entire restaurant, which was extremely embarrassing -- everyone was staring at us. It was very uncomfortable trying to communicate with her, as she didn't seem to understand English well and couldn't grasp what we were trying to explain. What should have been a $20 meal ended up costing us $115. read more

The choices are great, not too overwhelming. There's another dining area for larger groups. They have the usual drink choices here, and the standard hot tea and water. They have lunch specials and a small.kids menu. Large parking lot too. AYCE is pretty good here too. Will come again. read more

An absolute disgrace, I went home looking for something to make me throw up, as someone who LOVES sushi, and i eat it very often.

This place is great! Not only all you can eat, but a rarity to have the ability to order hand rolls, sashimi (they allow two pieces per roll you order) and my favorite that is almost never on the all you can eat selection, Ikura, which is Salmon Roe. AND wait there's more...a lot of their signature and special rolls to choose from. It's like a unicorn of menus. Dinner with tax is $27 per person. Nice interior, very clean and intimate. Pretty popular even at 3pm on a Sunday night, but wasn't super crowded at this time and I got a table right away. read more

eSushi has quickly become my favorite sushi place!! Their fish is so fresh, their menu has so many options, the service is quick, and the restaurant has a cool interior. eSushi is tucked away in a small strip but don't be fooled by the outside, their sushi is the best around. I've only done the AYCE a few times but it's fantastic! They have great lunch deals so i would go for that! being a small business i was so worried about eSushi staying open but it seems the community really loves it, i've come in and every seat has been full! (not the best for me but fantastic for eSushi) if anyone were to ask me a sushi place recommendation i will always say eSushi! read more

I hesitated at first to order pickup from here when I saw was it was an all you can eat restaurant (where I've found usually the quality of sushi isn't as great as it could be). But, since it was a new restaurant, I had to try it out. I got a salmon lover poke bowl, and to my surprise the fish was REALLY good quality. I can't say that it was the best poke bowl I've had though. I prefer the places devoted to poke bowls where you can customize your toppings. But for a poke bowl in general at a regular sushi place, it was decent. And the salmon was EXCELLENT. They gave large chunks and it was tasty and buttery. The only thing I didn't love was the peas in the bowl. If they swapped out the peas for some edamame, I'd buy this again. We also ordered the hibachi dinner, and won't be getting that again. We didn't read the menu description too carefully, and assumed we'd be getting the typical japanese hibachi types of meals with buttery fried rice and your typical shrimp with vegetables. It was just some shrimp with veggies and white rice. We'll prob just stick to sushi next time. Once covid is completely over, maybe we'll be back for all you can eat? We also got curbside pickup. The ordering process was smooth and quick! Just popped open our trunk and they put our order in! Thanks, esushi! read more

I got takeout from eSushi, and was disappointed. I had high expectations based on other reviews, but even for AYCE, the quality was very lacking. Fish did not seem fresh, rice was not properly seasoned, and I couldn't really find anything I liked about eSushi. I may give them another shot at some point, but I have a hard time imagining it will be any better. Unfortunate, since I liked their menu selection and they are in a good location. read more

I came here twice in one month to try both lunch and dinner AYCE sushi. I think their cost performance as a sushi restaurant is so far the best in the suburbs. If you go to the Japanese grocery market nearby, you have to pay $10 to $12 for a package w 10+ nigiri, which you cannot choose what you wanna eat. And pretty much they are all dry because they sit on the shelf for a while. This place makes foods on the order, so everything tastes fresh and sushi rice is still soft and nicely flavored. I personally LOVE salmon roe since my childhood. When I went to rotary sushi chain in Japan, I always grabbed salmon roe sushi. In here at a grocery market, I have to pay more than $10 for a tiny package of salmon roe. But here, dinner AYCE does include salmon roe. I think it is amazing. My wife hates salmon roe, and I understand for some people who did not grow up with it, salmon roe is tough to take. How about soft grilled eel? Fresh tuna, smoked salmon, yellow tail, and red snapper? I have no idea how they do it, but they all constantly taste good enough for more than 4 stars. Only two items so far below 4 stars were egg and red clam shellfish, which was rather dry and lack of flavors I like. But I don't think any other places in the area can beat this service for now. I don't want it to be so full all the time, and some COVID related incident to happen or something. But for Chicago suburbs sushi lovers, this place should be recognized better! Oh, one more thing. I am not really big fan of American sushi rolls, but I loved green dragon roll here! Probably one of the best sushi rolls in Chicago suburbs I have tried. read more
