    Probably the best AYCE sushi I've had so far. Great tasting and the price is not too bad I think it was $30 a person which is worth it if you have big appetites. It's also super cute in there and quick service. (We purposely ordered enough to get the boat plate, that was our goal LOL!)

    Service was fast and sushi was delicious! Bring at least 4 people so you get enough each round for the boat. I probably ate 5 lbs of sashimi. The also did a great job at accommodating allergies and making sure our allergy free rolls were separated from the rest. This place also had the best early 2000's music. It was seriously the cherry on top. It's a nice, casual restaurant. Loved how many appetizers were included in the AYCE sushi deal. Would definitely come again!

    Stopped into Sushi Nova for a quick to-go order and decided to give it a try since they've got a big menu and even an all-you-can-eat option. The service was relatively fast and efficient I was in and out without any issues. Unfortunately, the fish quality just wasn't great. The texture felt a bit off and not as fresh as I'd hoped for. It kind of had that typical "mid-tier sushi spot" feel, plenty of variety, but the overall execution was just okay. For the price, it's fine, you definitely get what you pay for. It's a decent option if you're nearby and want something quick or affordable, but if you're after higher-quality sushi, this probably isn't the place.

    Love that there's an AYCE sushi place in the Loop. They have a another location in Lincoln Park too! Typical AYCE sushi app, sushi, and dessert menu (so I got my faves like the shumai, crab rangoon, miso soup, seaweed salad, and a few rolls and tons of nigiri pieces) but also some more unique options like Tuna Avocado Tartare, Carpaccio Samples, Cocount Shrimp, poke bites, etc, and for every roll you order, you can get 3 pieces of sashimi! Nice place for dinner with a group--it's quite spacious. You can catch a sports game on the TV. Also quick service! They have a bar so it is NOT BYOB, though their Lincoln Park location is still BYOB to my knowledge.

    Didn't get to try the AYCE in store, but my friend got two takeout party trays for her bday!! We had Party Tray A and Party Tray C. Party Tray A includes the spicy kani roll, spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, spicy 2 in 1 roll, and Chicago roll for $41.95 as of July 2025. Party Tray C includes the dragon roll, fire dragon roll, color dragon roll, and angel dragon roll. While all the sushi tasted good besides the one with the wasabi infused ikura on top, it was a bit mushy. Definitely quite affordable though - and you're paying for what you get. I'd get this again for a party just for the price, but meh if I'm paying a la carte per roll.

    Ate here back in June after running a half marathon. Honestly, I really enjoyed my time and the wide menu selection to choose from. We were one of the first customers at the restaurant that day and the server was very quick to receive our orders in send us our food in a timely manner. Additionally, it came with dessert at the end which was a nice bonus. It definitely felt like I got my money's worth and next time I'll try different items!

    It's only $25.99 per person for lunch from 11am to 3:15pm and dinner is $31.99 per person. Beautiful presentation and good food. Very clean and beautiful place. You order on the menu as much as you want throughout your visit. It's not buffet style. This way it's more sanitary. Will return. The staff were very nice and attentive.

    Their AYCE is well worth it! There's a good assortment of sushi and rolls on the menu, as well as apps. Great service and vibes inside.

    Huge chucks of unripe avocado in the sushi rolls. Great portions but inedible with the avocado.

    I'm not really an expert on Polish food, but I have to give the Red Apple credit for being…read moreseriously tasty. They have all the things you think of when you think of Polish food, sausage, pierogis, schnitzel, stuffed cabbage, blintzes. Also all the things you think of at buffets, salads and carved meats, fried chicken, potatoes mashed and roasted, lots of desserts. A few things I didn't expect, like fish and shrimp. Everything we tried was at least pretty good, and several things were excellent. Service was friendly and good. Dirty dishes were cleared away promptly, beverages brought on request. The decor was a bit dated, but clean and comfortable. My one real complaint is that it's pretty crowded, especially when you have to squeeze between chairs multiple times to get back to the buffet. Prices are reasonable for all you can eat, considering the quality of the food. They're only open on weekends, so skip breakfast and come hungry and you're sure to leave stuffed and well satisfied.

    My sister and I decided to treat my brother in law here for his birthday. He found out that a…read morePolish buffet existed around here so he had to go! We went before the dinner rush on a Saturday. There's a small parking lot in the back but that was full so we parked on the street. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken as well as soup (which is included). Drinks are added separately and not inclusive of the $34 per person. I had the borscht and that was tasty and comforting. My brother in law didn't waste any time and he immediately got his first plate going. My sister and I took our time to enjoy the soup. I then started with the appetizers and tried the different salads. It was cool to see they had aspic since that's not something you see often either. When I eventually made my way to the warm food, I was overwhelmed by all the choices. I tried to take one of everything but even then it was too much so I didn't get to try it all. The meats that I did try were super tender and juicy. They definitely know what they're doing with the meats! The dessert area had so many different options. There was cake, flan and cheesecakes. So many to choose from! I think I just love Polish food in general because of the comfort food aspect. The proteins are usually simmered in gravy and you get to pair it with potatoes cooked in all sort of ways! My sister was adventurous and just started putting random stuff on her plate that I've never seen before. She found the meat spread and that was surprisingly good too. If you're ever in the area, try to go before the dinner rush. It's a great space and is deserving of the title "Largest Polish buffet in Chicagoland".
