A quiet place on a Saturday afternoon I can indulge in nigiri sushi. I find the nigiri very good, the servers are attentive and very accommodating. It's a very nice place to dine solo or with a group. The all you can eat lunch is quite affordable and provides a wide variety of rolls, nigiri and sashimi. Plus some delicious sides. This is a super splurge for me health wise and it's a great place to do it. read more

This IS the place to be for all you can eat sushi and more! This establishment has become a regular on our places to "eat out". The service is excellent - the servers are attentive and very willing to accommodate special requests for dietary restrictions. The various fish and seafood choices are fresh, beautifully prepared and appetizing. For non-sushi lovers, there are ramen and beef choices that are equally as tantalizing! The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy even for the open room set-up. Visit them before the dinner hour and you'll have the staff's undivided attention! Great drinks, too! read more

Very good sushi not the best I've ever had but for the price and how many options we get for all you can eat it is a great stop! Service was good they were always on top of my orders and even came back to ask if I alone wanted 10 whole California rolls or 10 pieces (I got 10 rolls). The ambiance was awesome great decorations and always fun to see them actually cook the sushi! 5 stars read more

My friend order us food on Uber from sushi king and honesty I'm fucking disgusted iv had their food before and its really really good but they didn't notify our Uber delivery driver at all they had closed early and left the bag outside on the door handle notified to us by our shocked and confused delivery driver who told us they also arnt suposed to close till 11pm it is 9:45pm and it looks as if someone tried to open the bag the doors wer locked lights off place closed I mean come on who dose this they could have notified him and had him pick it not long after but instead it sat there for God knows how long do better sushi king or me and friends won't be eating here again read more

Very disappointed with this experience. My friend and I ordered through Uber, and when our driver arrived, our order had been left hanging on the outside door handle after the restaurant had already closed. The bag looked like it had been opened and someone had gone through it. Leaving food unattended for who knows how long is unacceptable and raises serious food safety concerns. I expected much better. read more

This is my first ever yelp review, I had to write something cause of how bad it was. Just had $97 worth of food, with about various 4 rolls and two different kinds of ramen. Some of the worst sushi and Ramen I have ever had. Ended up throwing the food away. Overpriced and horrible food. read more

Very high quality sushi with wonderful flavor, definitely recommending to friends and family, the staff were very informative and helpful when we came in and were very speedy and attentive!!! I've always seen this place tucked away but never knew how homey it is on the inside! read more

I am really sad to leave a 3-star review because I liked the buffet style, our waitress, the appetizers, and how fast the food came out. Basically I liked everything except for the sushi. As an Asian, I start making rice when I was a little girl using rice cooker. You cannot mess it up. However, the rice in the sushi was not fully cooked and was not soft - I could not enjoy my sushi because I was really disappointed with the texture of the rice. Also, some of rolls do not look like the pictures in the menu - my husband was very distracted by the appearance discrepancy. Oh the store front looks tiny but the inside is huge - could easily fit 200 people. read more

Dined here as a group on two recent occasions. We have been to this place before and just never left a review. We have liked this place for years, and loved that it has been consistently good! Yes, it is AYCE! Yes, it is in McHenry, IL! Yes, it has good quality fish! And yes, the variety of rolls is great and they all taste great! Plus the staff is friendly, helpful, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Just like everywhere else, the price has gone up a bit over the years, but for $30 per person, you can truly get all your sushi cravings satisfied! If you are in the far NW suburbs, and in the mood for all you can eat sushi, definitely check this place out! read more

Awesome food, amazing service and the employees were very kind. Definitely coming back.

when I walked inside, I was greeted by the bells and jingles of the door, I feel like I had a cultural experience. There was a baby crying and the employees soothe the baby with songs I've eaten her before and I really enjoy the food, definitely check out the whole you can eat sushi thing, it's worth every penny. read more

If you like sushi because you just like sushi, then this place would probably be a 3-4 star. But if you're truly a sushi expert, then this place will disappoint you. Let's get a run down of the menu. 1) white fish sushi 2) shrimp sushi 3) squid sushi 4) egg sushi. If at any time in your life you see a Japanese restaurant that adds a "sushi" at the end instead of "nigiri", leave. If you ever see a place where they covert Tamago nigiri to "egg sushi", leave. As seen in my pictures, my A4 is thicker than the salmon on my salmon nigiri, and my white tuna nigiri looks like it had fell off of bike and got injured. read more

We ordered takeout tonight and had the crappiest dinner we've had. Hibachi chicken, Hibachi shrimp, Hibachi veggies, some yakasoba noodles, sushi, crab Rangoon and tempura veggies. The tempura veggies were decent. Everything else was terrible. They forgot an order of sushi,but everything was so awful we're never going back. The leftovers will be going in the trash tomorrow. Flavorless other than salt. Just yuck. I've had good Japanese food, so this was a major disappointment. I'm hoping that at least we don't get food poisoning. read more

A few things to say about this place. First of all I DoorDashed it and got the Dinner 3rolls 2pc which fed 2 of us for only 30 dollars it's a steal! I got crab Rangoon which is some of the best I have ever had! I also got mountain roll which was very good and my cousin got the California roll which was very good he also got crab nigiri which was good. Lastly I got the spicy tuna roll which was good but nothing special. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because I also ordered kimchi which was not very good. It was very watery and just not fresh. The presentation of the box was nice it was decorated a bit. Would recommend and will order again! read more

Sushi King - 12. Crab Rangoon - Sushi Bars Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

The sushi was fresh and portions a nice size. Was there for early dinner and service was very good.

We had high hopes for this place, having heard from a friend that it was good. It has a very charming interior and we were quite eager to order. Unfortunately, the sushi was awful. Flavorless and chewy. The rice was even bad. I finished the very mediocre gyoza, but literally had to spit out my sushi into my napkin toward the end and couldn't finish my meal. My wife was unable to eat a single piece. The fish didn't seem stale or spoiled, it was just bad. The extra fifteen minutes to drive to Kyoto Sushi and Steak House in Crystal Lake continues to be worth it. read more

The worst sushi in the world.Stinky,ugly and disgusting. Just a tiny little piece of fish and huge chunks of rice.And that "rice " what they call sushi is really bad and expensive.I had to throw it in the garbage!!Never again!!! read more

New to area this was a great find. The food was exceptional and very good along with the service was great. Can't wait to return.

Everything was delicious! Sushi was fresh and huge portions! Ambiance was nice. Service was great and timely!

Continues to be our favorite place for a big dinner. Stellar food, service and atmosphere. Love, love, love!

Been coming here for a long time. Such a great AYCE deal, you can get a little of everything. Love all of the sushi and great apps like the gyoza. read more

Never Again! I do not recommend- if you are not used to having fresh sushi- then you will be ok with this place, but I do not like my sushi to smell super fishy nor do I like the fish to feel sticky like it's warm. This restaurant seems clean and location is convenient, but never again. 1st visit was ok.. 2nd visit the sushi didn't seem fresh. 3rd visit not so fresh again. 4th and last visit was today.. My mother and I both felt the same-- Sushi smelled fishy- then a couple pieces seemed like it was not chilled. Tuna was awful! My mother didn't even want to finish hers, so I ordered crab Rangoon for her. She ate that and said " No more, my stomach is upset" Upon arrival at home 15 min away, we are both with stomach doing back flips and abdominal pain! What a waste of $50 bucks NEVER Going back! You blew it sushi king! read more

Pretty good all you can eat sushi place. Very satisfied with the quality and service. Who ever is comparing this place to a high scale sushi restaurant, you're a moron. All you can eat...quantity over quality. I'll be back read more

I have been to a few different all-you-can-eat sushi places and this one has a few hits and a few misses in comparison. PROS: On the positive side, I did not feel like they overloaded their sushi with rice. I think some places do that to get you full on the rice so you don't eat as much of the good stuff. Plus rice is cheaper than fish, obviously. So one point to Sushi King for serving up reasonably proportioned sushi. Another point goes to Sushi King for serving decent non-sushi dishes as well. We tried the miso soup, the "home" salad, the fried crab, and the sesame ball. All were fairly good, if not the best I've ever had. The sesame ball was a bit of a surprise, sweet and kind of dessert-like. I would have it again. Most importantly, the sushi itself seemed fresh and tasty, so there's that. CONS: When we arrived there was no real host. They didn't seem too organized about who among the waiting crowd they seated first. We were lucky enough to sit on the couch while we waited and took this time to fill out one of the order sheets. Our friends advised that it can take a long time to get your food so it was best to hand the waiter that sheet as soon as we were seated. Our knowledgeable friends also advised that we may only get waiter service the one time, so it was best to order everything we wanted to eat up front, instead of counting on round two, or three, or four... Once they did bring us our food, it was like a random selection of *some* of the things we wanted to eat. That is to say, a few of the items we ordered made it onto the tray, and others did not. None of the food was identified either, so I wasn't always sure it was even what we ordered at all for some of the rolls. Finally, they forgot our soups and salad altogether. My friend explained that you have a 50/50 shot of getting your full order at Sushi King. Therefore we had to fill out a second order sheet with things we had already asked for, hoping they would arrive this time around, and not in double the quantity we expected. Luckily we did not wind up with duplicate servings of anything because you must eat everything you order or else be charged for what you don't finish. CONCLUSION: There are some non-insignificant cons listed above, so why the 4 stars? As measured by the standard set by all-you-can-eat sushi places in general, this is pretty much a 4-star place. As long as you are not picky about your sushi and are the sort to eat all kinds, Sushi King is not a bad value for the money because the quality of the food ranks better than similar places. If you are more of a picky eater (will only eat cooked fish, won't eat mayo, only like tempura stuff), or you just reasonably expect to receive exactly what you ordered, this may not be the place for you. read more

My daughter loves sushi and this is her favorite favorite favorite place to order from. She gets the Philadelphia roll, Alaskan roll & Spider roll! read more

I order from here all the time. I get the salmon nigiri sushi & edamame. The salmon is so good & that's why I keep coming back. So good and so fresh. read more

I opted for the AYCE Lunch for $15.99 Miso soup - bland needs more miso paste and the tofu is cubed very tiny. House salad - iceburg lettuce topped with a slice of cucumber, drenched with ginger dressing but flavorful. First plate - 14 pcs. sushi and 1 Yellow Tail Roll. It was good, the fish to rice ratio is perfect. The freshness of the fish is also just average. Second plate - 6 pcs. sushi and 1 Bolcano Roll. The roll is very good and perfect spiciness. Will definetely try for dinner with the family. Came for dinner AYCE $20.99. Few items added to dinner like deep fried oysters and chicken It's a good value for the quality of the fish they serve. Make sure you finish all items ordered because they charge you per peice if you do not. Weekends gets busy so just be patient because they make everything fresh so with a full restaurant even with 3 sushi chefs it slows down the delivery. read more

3 stars. Lunch ayce menu, maki rolls are pretty basic, will try their dinner ayce menu next time. Fish texture wasn't very good in most of the raw rolls, especially salmon, and their eel was a bit too mushy. Will try this restaurant again at a later date for their dinner all you can eat menu and will update the review accordingly. read more

A group of friends and I have been coming here bi-weekly for a few years now for the all-you-can-eat sushi. The quality has ranged from okay to great, it really depends on the time you go. I've noticed that later during dinner time there is a much better chance of the sushi being fresh. A majority of the time however, it is good stuff, especially for the price and the sheer variety. Though the quality isn't always the greatest, it's nice to pay a set fee and get as much sushi as you want. The all you can eat menu also provides some good appetizers such as gyoza or edemame. The service is decent. They know my group and I by face now and seem to treat us a little worse since they know we will come back anyways, but it isn't much of a bother. Come here if looking for some decent sushi for a good price, just make sure its a bit later in the day. read more

I don't know who named this place but it ain't the king of sushi. Ordered hand rolls and got regular rolls soaked in some sauce and falling apart. Not good at all. Wont be returning. read more

I have noticed very inconsistent food. The last two times I went the seaweed in the rolls was so chewy I couldn't swallow it. I used to go here often but recently stopped due to the quality lacking. The rolls were super salty and they rarely put all of the ingredients in the rolls that the menu shows..they would leave out cucumber or avocado which completely changed the taste. My last and final visit I complained about the quality/chewiness..the manager said they did recently change the seaweed (which is why it is chewy...so they must have switched to something cheaper.) I'm not going there anymore. There's a great place in Algonquin called Kobe (next to Jewel-Osco)that offers all you can eat for the same price and tastes way better! read more

Real good! I had the 21.00 all you can eat sushi. I ordered water to drink, it was good tasting filtered water as well. I should to have taken pix of the food.... Well presented, and fresh taste. You order the sushi and then it is prepared fresh. It is worth the wait!! Average amount to order 20-30 pieces if you are a hungry guy! Remember to order what you can eat as they up charge if you do not eat it all! It was no problem for me to eat it all! I wish they had more veggie roles on the 21.00 menu... It is all about the rice! I will be back!! read more

Decent sushi for the area. Good value for all you can eat lunch. Will have to try the individual rolls.

the first time I came I actually didn't think it is bad. The only complaint I had is that they gave me dinner and lunch menu (which are priced differently, but have mostly the same stuff). I am nit used to the process if ordering sushi so I used the menu that was given to me first. No word or communication from the waitress. So, lunch could have cost me $5.00 less. well, I came again. But this tome I didn't see the small print that says that you must eat all the rice otherwise they will charge you extra $1.00 per sushi piece that you didn't eat. No, you cannot take it home. And no, they will not prepare more sushi for you if you don't eat everything. so be aware. Read all the info on the menu, or eat all your rice. more communicative and friendly service for new customers would be nice. service - 1 star food - 2 stars ambiance - 1 star read more

The aesthetics of this place are pleasing, especially the coy pond right at the entrance. The only thing I would change are the Valentine's Day decorations that have been hanging up for several months now. My friends and I visit this establishment frequently due to convenience, price, and our addictions to sushi. We always get the all-you-can-eat since we usually eat more than enough to get our money's worth. There are two separate all-you-can-eat menus: lunch or dinner. Personally, I tend to get the dinner all-you-can-eat because my favourite roll, the 'Crazy Monkey' is on it. For lunch all-you-can-eat, the price is $15.99 and for dinner it is $20.99. All in all this place is a great deal and the sushi is usually pretty great. If I could eat here everyday without dying of mercury poisoning, I would. read more

The food from sushi king is always excellent I've been going there for years and I've never been disappointed

Absolutely love this place! From the outside it doesn't look like much because it's in a strip mall. But the inside is very nice, clean, and new looking. I think bathrooms tell a lot about a restaurant and theirs is nicely decorated and spotless! Now the food! Wow its amazing! I always get the sushi all you can eat lunch or dinner special. The sushi is always fresh and delicious! My friend drives from Carpentersville once a month to meet me for lunch because it's so good. Great food, great prices, great decor! read more

Sushi King - All you can eat sushi lunch! - Sushi Bars Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

Went for the AYCE sushi dinner with my wife. Sat at sushi bar. service was quick and polite. sushi chefs all appeared to be japanese, which I felt added to the authenticity of the japanese theme they are mostly successful at creating. the menu is interesting and you can tell they used a computer translator to creare the menu...calling the house salad "home" salad, which I thought was both cute and entertaining. there is a long list of appetizers on the AYCE menu which were were delicious and quickly delivered even though the were very busy. The sushi rolls were all fresh with great tasting fresh fish, perfectly tasting rice, and well balanced and proportioned ratios of fish, rice, and vegetables. Definitely give sushi king a try. read more

Always fresh fish! I order from them multiple times a week and it's an obsession lol but they are sooo good and so kind
