Solid sushi and prices are reasonable, interior looks well done and modern, very spacious and big, in a big parking lot

No. 1 Sushi in DE far exceeded my expectations. When we walked in, I found the restaurant cleaner and more modern than most AYCE sushi places I have visited before. We immediately sat and got paper slips to check different menu options. Below are some of the things we ordered, including seaweed salad, sushi, tempura, hibachi, and matcha/red bean ice cream. All of the items were excellent but nothing compared to omakase or high-quality sushi restaurants. However, for the sticker price and ambiance, I would definitely recommend No. 1 Sushi and visit again! read more

No 1 Sushi - Combination platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

This place has been on my radar to try for a while and we finally decided to check it out. First off, the sushi here is incredible. Super fresh and colorful with amazing presentations. We tried the all-you-can-eat deal and some options off the regular menu too. For AYCE sushi, this was the best I've had in the area. AYCE isn't limited to sushi and there's a bunch of dishes you can try as well. For us, service was great. We went on a slow day for lunch and the entire experience was fantastic. I see there's some negative reviews about service, but that wasn't the case for us. Here's what we had: Crispy Calamari: 5/5 Hot, perfectly crispy, flavorful, large portion. Would definitely order again. Crab Rangoon: 4/5 Creamy and indulgent with the perfect crunch. For my taste, they were a bit on the sweet side but I'm sure others would love that. Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura: 5/5 Light, crispy batter with fresh ingredients. Cool presentation. Tuna Tartare Tower: 10/5 (yes, it's that good) This was hands-down the highlight of the night. Layers of fresh tuna, creamy avocado, and three types of tobiko. It's a visual masterpiece and a flavor bomb in every bite. Godzilla Roll, Norwegian Salmon Sashimi, & Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi: 5/5 Fresh, vibrant, spicy, and expertly prepared. The yellowtail had just the right kick of heat from the jalapeño, and the Godzilla Roll is simply addictive. The wild-caught salmon from Norway exceeded expectations. Sweetheart Roll: 5/5 Yes, it's a tuna avocado roll shaped like hearts. Perfect for sharing especially if you're here for a date night. Hibachi Combo (Maine Lobster Tail, Shrimp, and Scallops): 5/5 Huge Maine lobster tail. The seafood was cooked to perfection. Worth the price! Banana & Oreo Tempura: 5/5 I enjoyed fried Oreos more than I thought I would! Pro Tip: Try the all-you-can-eat menu. It's one of the best deals around for the quality of the sashimi, specialty rolls, and kitchen dishes that you can get. We'll definitely be going back. read more

I've been to this place at least 5 times in the last few months for AYCE and the food was consistently good from sashimi, sushi, the roll, beef teriyaki & other hot food we ordered. The service was good and efficient. My son just brought his friends here last weekend and they enjoyed the food very much. That's why the restaurant is called No 1 sushi. read more

No 1 Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

The Good. The food. It is really good. My daughter loved the various sushi. There were plenty of options available on the all you can eat menu. The Bad. The service. It is not good. You write out what you want and they take the paper to fill the order. With 3 of us at the table, they 'forgot' about 5 items. I believe this is intentional. Further, the servers will take plates from rich in front of you without asking and reach right past your face to grab something instead of approaching from the side. Summary. It's not cheap but the food is good, if you get what order. read more

$37 per person for all you can eat sushi is pretty steep, but really if you order 3 special rolls you are already coming out ahead. Order some sashimi and you win the game Sashimi and sushi are all made to order and feel fresh Other items on the menu are fun to eat while you wait for the star of the show (sushi/sashimi) to show up We were the only people in here and our waiter was nowhere to be found, which was fine because we placed a massive order from the get go Interior is freshly painted and feels clean but you can tell the seats are made with cheap wayfair style couch material There are lots of restaurants offering sushi in the area but I would come here again specifically for the all you can eat sushi Oh yeah, don't get the crispy calamari. I should have taken a picture of it but trust me - it was horrendous. read more

like a wise man once said: "The Good. The Food. It is very good." get all u can eat! read more

Amazing, so good and great quality. We always order and every roll is great. Love the Godzilla roll

We use to drive by but once we found out it was all you can eat sushi we decided to stop in to give it a try! $34 per person currently which is on the higher end but not terrible. The veggie tempura I could have gone without the broccoli but the sweet potato and zucchini was delicious. Kani salad was good! Could've shared portion if I wanted to. Then we ordered the dragon roll; elk avocado was delicious we added cream cheese made it even better, angry dragon roll; mango shrimp tempura such a good spicy sweet combo but didn't taste spicy at all, alligator roll; salmon avocado with crunch and ell was good, diamond roll; tuna salmon avocado with 3 kinds of caviar on top was my favorite roll simple but the caviar on top adds more taste. The sushimi was ok, i would do without both tuna sushimi orders. Sushi pieces were delicious and rice was fresh. Overall a great experience. We will be back for sure! read more

The food is reasonably priced. Sushi is way better than other nearby Japanese restaurants. We usually get a take out and always liked their food so we finally sat and eat. The place is gorgeous with nice touches. I would go back and try the all you can eat sushi! read more

I would rate this place 10 out of 10. Absolutely most desired place for AYCE sushi, sashimi and other items. You can't see a better courteous staff in other restaurants that I have been to! Amanda and Cindy stand out among all. Food and service are great! Don't miss this place out if you are there at Wilmington DE. read more

Place is nice clean friendly, staff nice atmosphere reasonable prices good menu The sushi was not the greatest. It wasn't bad. It was A little better than OK. I was really hoping the sushi here would be amazing. I've been trying to find a great sushi place in Delaware, other than Miki Moto and Leshio. We only want once we only had sushi we will go again and try the Chinese food next time read more

Wife wanted to love this place. We been there 4 times each time I tell her it's not good and over priced since I don't really eat raw food so I couldn't give a honest review of the place. This week she ate there by herself and ended up getting sick and hugged the ceramic all night. Safe to say I'm happy we do not have to go here again as an option. read more

Tried this new sushi restaurant and I'm hooked. Service was pleasant. Very nice staff. The Avacodo salad with the ginger carrot dressing delicious! Sushi rolls were so fresh. We had the California Roll & the crunchy shrimp & Crab roll. Loved that I could enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner as they have a full bar. Can't wait to go back again. A must try! read more

Sushi was good. Service - lack luster. Hot food - eh, gloppy. Would return for a large friend group gathering. Clean.

We love this restaurant, their sushi is delicious! My kids love the tempura shrimp the most, I will bring my family and friends next time! The service was excellent! read more

I just ate at this restaurant. Great service! Fresh and beautiful food. I actually booked a party there. I hope this place is here to stay.

Absolutely the worst meal I've had in decades. Frozen pre packaged shrimp tempura, gyoza that tasted like bad mashed potatoes, awful "sushi". The miso soup was tepid. Forget going here. read more

#1 Sushi - #1 is poor service, #1 in poor food, and #1 in Customer Dissatisfaction! We made the unfortunate mistake of going to #1 Sushi and the experience was unforgettable. We went on a Monday night, so nothing in the experience can be blamed on weekend volume. In fact, the restaurant was only 30% full - scary to think what happens on a Saturday! We were a table of 3, and we were given the standard sheets to fill out the all you can eat requests - 1 for the kitchen and 1 for sushi. We waiting a good 20 minutes before we got any food, and amazingly the sushi was ready before things like an Avocado salad. In fact, while we ordered shumai in our original kitchen request, and repeatedly asked if they could check on it, we never actually got any shumai during our entire meal. Overall, the 90 minute 'dinner' consisted of us getting some of our food, but waiting and waiting for kitchen food. We politely asked both waitresses where our other food was, and they would go in the back to check...and never heard anything else. We did get someone elses food, which we corrected, and later watched the table across from us get our food, which sat for 5 minutes until they could get the wateress attention to say it wasnt their food. We watched the waitress return the food back to the sushi station, and then brought to our table. We finally decided to leave, shumai-less, hungry and frustrated. After waiting for 10 minutes to get someone to come to our table, we got up and went to the register - that got their attention! The waitress asked "Was Everything OK" to which i said "No, not really". Did she ask why? Nope - she just preset the tip to 0% and we paid and left. And important note - #1 Sushi is #1 in Over Price! This whole experience was $5 more than most other places. So be warned - unless you are trying to diet - this is not the place for you. read more

Had a Tiger roll and tuna roll. Both were excellent and fresh. Place is beautiful inside. I was expecting a typical take out from the outside. Was very surprised when I went in read more

During our past few visits, we have noticed a steep decline in both the quality and serving size of some of the food since the restaurant's opening. Service has always been a little "meh" but what kept us comung back was the food. For what is coming-out of that kitchen now, this restaurant is seriously over-charging and ripping-off its customers by steep drops in portion size and quality without an accompanying drop in pricing. I know it is difficult to meet profit margins in the restaurant business so I don't know whether or not this is an intentional attempt at cost-cutting. But we have been really disappointed with our past few visits and we will not be returning unless we see a serious uptrend in other reviews. read more

I DESPERATELY wanted to love this place as there are so few good sushi restaurants around the area. Experience started with what was supposed to be "crispy calamari" it came out as a pile of sautéed slimy red onions and underneath was freezer burnt chunks of octopus (side note, calamari is squid not octopus). Its taste and texture were so off putting that I should've left then. We tried 4 different sushi rolls and not one of them tasted good. I'm not sure what was more uncomfortable, the waiter who leaned on the bar and stared at us the entire meal or the man preparing the sushi picking and then blowing his nose right over the raw fish. No he did not wash his hands but I guess I should be thankful he did put gloves on after he blew in them to open them up (also over top the raw food). Left feeling sick to my stomach after just thinking about the overall experience. Will NEVER return read more

We went there for a lunch with 2 daughters 5 and 3 and the servers were cold. The soup was lukewarm. Not a child friendly place.

37ea for AYCE sushi isn't terrible. Service was decent although it wasn't terribly busy for a Wednesday evening. Ordered a wide variety off of the specialty rolls - not bad at all. Tried some of the hibachi dishes but they were poor to average at best. A piece of katsu chicken looked and tasted like something from the walmart freezer. Not sure I will rush back and if i really want something like this it might be worth the drive to kirkwood highway for a better overall experience. I would like to give it 2.5 but am feeling more generous than may be warranted and rounding up. read more

If I could rate this place a zero I would. This was a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE and lousy sushi. The rancid fishy taste in my spider roll was a complete turn of off and the spicy salmon roll was well below even an average roll. Don't get me started on the calamari app that was actually pre frozen octopus tentacles that were inedible. Needless to say when I told the waiter, he was giggling and did not care. DONT EAT HERE IF YOU DONT WANT TO FEEL NAUSEOUS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!! read more

Went for lunch on a friday, bummer that the lunch special is only mon-thurs. But the sushi was fresh, the service was great. Around $24 after tip for two rolls and an appetizer. Super clean restaurant and nice interior. Will be back. read more

Truly some of the best sushi I have ever had. We got the all you can eat, it is definitely a bit expensive so make sure you come hungry! The rolls are incredible, all taste so fresh and delicious. read more

The service was second to none, the food fresh amazing and fast to the table definitely will come back with amm my friends. Very friendly pricing read more

Yummy! Fast & friendly service. We tried both the all you can eat and the regular menu and both were great!

The place looks great. I love the brighter open space look. The service was good. We went on Thanksgiving Eve, so I don't think they were expecting a big rush on a Wednesday night. But, a little patience goes a long way. Sushi was good, not the best I've had in the area, but still tasty. And the cooked dishes on the AYCE menu were yummy and just the right portion especially if you're gorging on sushi. read more

Not good at all. Sushi quality is very poor Found a hair in my shrimp tempura roll and was very disgusted by that. Couldn't finish my meal. Not worth it. read more
