Tuna Roll Salmon Roll Firecracker Roll
Max M.

Stopped by Sushi Express for a quick take out dinner this week. I ordered online and scheduled for pick-up in the evening. I showed up to the venue 10 minutes early and my order was already packed and ready which was nice. I ordered the salmon, tuna, and firecracker roll. The rolls themself were average, nothing special going on compared to other sushi joints at the same price point. Sushi Express has great affordable dinner options where you can get 3 sets of rolls for under $15. Overall, would recommend for someone looking for a quick sushi fix without wanting to spend too much.

Gyoza

Good sushi. Portions aren't huge but the price is great for what you get. Quick and easy service for dine in or takeout. Will definitely be coming back for my sushi fix in Madison

Back again from Boston, got the main special dragon roll, fyi I have tried mostly every sushi spot in Boston, but all have been nothing tops sushi express, and the price is just so amazing, one specialty roll cost me a basic roll in Boston! Idk why it wasn't busy today but yall here in Madison sleeping!!!!

My fav place in the world. I am a college student and would come multiple times a week. Good value but wish they had more deals on sashimi / nigiri like they do the rolls.

California Roll Chicken teriyaki

Nice little sushi restaurant; never too busy. The prices are good for the area and the sushi boats are always beautifully made. Only thing is, lately, when I try to order to-go 20 mins in advance so I don't spend most of my lunch break waiting for my order to be prepared, they always start making the California roll I order once I arrive. This time, my order sat over 5 minutes after preparation before the hostess noticed anything. I'll keep going for date nights but never order out for lunch.

Boston, spicy salmon, spicy crunchy yellowtail

I used to come here all the time in college and even 5 years later.... still here. The sushi is consistent and for the basic rolls, the price is right. My go-to's are the spicy (salmon, yellowtail or tuna), and occasionally will add the crunchy. The spicy mayo is good, but could be spicier for my taste (so I just add more sriracha). Service is fast, they fill waters regularly. The menu has changed slightly to be a little more simple, but if you miss a roll and ask, they will make it for you and usually no extra charge.

Lots of college students come here for their sushi deal. I used to come here when I was an undergrad because it was the only affordable sushi. I haven't been on campus for awhile and decide to a take out. Sushi is really bland. They didn't really put vinegar on rice like you're supposed to. Typically without soy sauce and wasabi, I can still taste the fish's sweetness but I really can't taste anything. I got their Boston roll that came with diluted mayo sauce. I also got eel avocado rolls, this is my favorite sushi in general & I felt like I ate mostly avocado and eel sauce. Just a slightly thin piece of eel. And I also got shrimp tempera, spicy salmon, and tuna avocado. This is not my favorite sushi place but it's definitely an affordable one if you're looking for a deal. I'm still giving 3.5 star because of the deal and quickness but You get what you pay for.

Generally good sushi for the price, But the tuna has been died red (beet juice or other). not consistent quality. My rice was stained red from the tuna. With any type of sushi one would hope for healthy and consistent quality fish.

This sushi is a great deal. It's pretty decent for the price and it's always super fast. The shrimp tempura roll was by far the best, and I would also recommend their gyoza.

Dimi S.

It's not much, but it's honest work. Always satisfying when I am in the mood for sushi, miso soup, or gyoza, but definitely keep expectations low. Can't beat the price and the name really lives up to the hype. Perfect spot for college students and a quick bite to eat. Recommend taking it to the capital, lake, or library mall with friends too!

Great sushi!

Prices are good, but don't trust raw fish from here. They are at best average.

Our favorite all-you-can-eat sushi place is Wonita in Milwaukee, which is a 1.5-hour drive for us,…read moreso we were delighted when Sake opened in Madison! Sake is a nice, clean place, with very good service and an extensive menu. We went with a group of friends and got many different dishes to share. The sushi was excellent and fresh, and we particularly liked the steak teriyaki (we had to get seconds of that!). If you want all-you-can-eat sushi in Madison, Sake will not disappoint!

Was hungry after touring 2 Frank Lloyd Wright sites and felt like sushi so I was happy I had…read morebookmarked Sake Sushi. Located on the West side of Madison, and I was already half way there. The neighborhood is nice and Sake Sushi is located in a small plaza, however I almost missed it since it is located on the side of the plaza and was not visible from the street. Inside I found an interesting mix of decor, it seems like a traditional Asian restaurant with white linen tableclothes and also some very modern touches including neon strip lighting along the ceiling and a variety of light fixtures. Overall a bit of a mishmash that would be better if they picked one style and stayed with it. I got there in the late afternoon so the place was empty at first, I was seated and given the menu which allows you to fill out what you want. The menu is fairly similar to other AYCE sushi places I have been at. Of note is that at dinner you can order up to 15 pieces of sashimi without an extra charge. I ordered a nice selection of sashimi, some sushi, a couple of different maki rolls, the salmon skin salad and the seafood soup. Interestingly the sashimi and sushi came out first, then the maki rolls, then the soup and salad. The sashimi was very good, fresh with nice sized pieces; the nigiri sushi had a nice portion of seafood to rice. I was a bit disappointed with the seafood soup, just a bit under seasoned and too much bean sprouts. The salmon skin salad was excellent with nicely roasted smoked salmon skin mixed with a bit of eel sauce, delicious, crunchy and one of my favorites that you don't see everywhere. I also enjoyed the scallops sashimi, large fresh raw scallops with a nice delicate flavor and texture. The maki rolls were good as well, nicely sized with plenty of filling. I did really enjoy the Super Lobster Roll with shrimp tempura, cucumbers, avocado then topped with lobster salad; the lobster salad was a nice treat, although I think it was made with lagostino lobsters it was still tasty. I also liked their version of spider roll, the soft shell crab was crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed my meal at Sake Sushi, dinner was $30 for all you can eat. The sushi and sashimi were very good, of course not quite the same quality as the best sushi bars but pretty close. Service was good and there are plenty of choices, including noodle dishes, fried rice, hibachi and tempura. The decor is a bit of a miss, but nothing that will keep you from enjoying your meal. Well worth a try if you are hungry and feel like some sushi and Japanese food.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside experience is as authentic as it gets…read more Sashimi was fresh and expertly cut with subtle but complex flavors and textures. If it's in season I'd highly recommend the super white tuna, in addition the yellow tail, and salmon were our group favorites. The octopus was not chewy but tender and fresh. Miso soup was not overly salty, nor tasted like water. The shumai tasted pre-cooked with an onion flavor but who goes to a Japanese restaurant for shumai? All of the sushi rolls were balanced and much higher grade than anything you'd get at a refrigerator in a market place. What sets the food apart is they serve sushi freshly made so it's the correct temperature though you do have to wait a while for the sushi chef to make your selections if it's a busy day. Just don't come here if you are in a rush as it's not a fast food restaurant. The sukiyaki was not greasy and tasted sweet/savory just like how my grandmother makes it only they used a lean stir fry beef cuts while my grandma would choose a fattier thinly sliced beef. Not many Japanese restaurants serve sukiyaki like this in a ceramic pot so it's probably worth trying this dish alone as it was a staple in my Japanese household. The tempura was crispy and not oily, I believe they use Panko bread crumbs to make it light and crunchy. If you come in a big party you can reserve the private room surrounded in oak paneling and a sliding privacy door. You'll have to take your shoes off and sit flush with the floor on seat cushions for a Japanese experience. If you order Japanese soda, you'll be using a small plunger to push a glass marble into your bottle to open the ramune. Only thing I missed trying out was the Japanese beer and saki, but I give high ratings to this place for the Japanese food and service.

We have been coming to Muramoto for lunch almost every week for the past year and we order very similar things each time. We absolutely love the slaw and I highly recommend it as an appetizer. Muramoto's Godzilla Roll is the best I've ever had and I order it every single week. They do classic rolls like Alaskan and Boston incredibly well and the service is fast. We have a few servers we enjoy, but nobody beats Kevin, our man, the MVP, the best server in Madison, no questions asked. Kevin is kind, intelligent, fast with the food, great with recommendations, excellent with alcohol additions -- he makes our Muramoto experience fantastic and we love his vibe and his customer-friendship care for his tables. Otherise, my best friend loves the calamari, but it sometimes tastes a bit overcooked and there are empty crispies that don't have any meat inside.My only other complaint is sometimes the shrimp roll is too salty, but it's supposed to be salty and I'm not a big salty food gal. Overall, absolutely come here, ask for Kevin, get your sushi fix on.

That math doesn't even make sense and the guy on the phone couldn't care less. Placed an order at RED instead and was in and out in only 30 minutes. Food was ready by the time I got there. Muramoto doesn't seem to be able to retain talent, so the wait times keep getting worse and their wait staff turns over so they don't really care to provide good service. Lesson learned.
