    #12. Alaska Roll
    Amy A.

    Christmas Day and needed food last minute, so ordered on delivery app. Sushi Para came through for us. Everything was fresh and delicious!! Philadelphia and Alaska rolls are the favorites, but everything was good.

    Menu and Price

    Hidden Palatine Gem! Don't worry about the ambiance. They have great sushi and price for an AYCE.

    It's not the food that's 2 stars. I want to start by saying food was good. It was the service that turned me off. I came here for lunch one day since I was in the area, they didn't have wifi and I wanted to work and enjoy some sushi. I wanted to do takeout for a lunch special since I couldn't hook up to the internet and work there. Lady upfront gave me the total which was almost $17 and I'm like how? The menu says $10.99. Apparently they charge an extra $3-4 for a lunch special takeout. I didn't see the dine-in only part until looking at their site later, but when she said she could do it, she only said the difference is that soup wouldn't be included and didn't upfront mention the added cost until I asked. She then said, yeah its costs more for takeout, it's better if you just eat here. I said fine and just decided to eat there since I had the time to kill and was just needing lunch at that point. Although the food was good, please don't say you can do something then not mention the extra cost. It felt a bit sneaky to ring it up as takeout then not mention what that extra cost was until I asked, when I only was originally told soup wouldn't be included as the caveat. Long story short - I ate there, food was good that day, service was average, not the friendliest server to be honest.

    I put off writing a review for Sushi Para for years, but I'm doing it now. My family and I have eaten here many, many times and it is special to us. I used to live in this neighborhood, and this is where I really started to get into sushi. I will first say that this place serves fairly large rolls, which means plenty of rice. I personally don't think it is in order to fill you up on rice. It's just their style. If they wanted to make more money, they could easily raise the pricing on their all-you-can-eat menus, which are priced very low. You get plenty of fish, just plenty of rice as well. It's most noticeable on the nigiri. Anyway, they have great tasting sushi which has always tasted fresh to me, with a nice inventive, variety of rolls. During Covid, they followed all the rules to the letter. Obviously, enough loyal customers ordered takeout , and they made it through. I for one, will continue to enjoy this place. You might have to wait for seating, especially at peak times. I'm not the only one who knows about this place.

    Palatine, Chicago, Spirer roolsare the best

    In 15 years this place improved and keep quality for last few years in the area. Palatine anc Chicago lools are my best. Many local restaurants disappeared over time. Totally recommending.

    I got the all you can eat sushi and it was not bad. There was a limit in how mush sashimi you could get but other than that the quality was good. The service was a bit slow however there was plenty of seating for everyone! The atmosphere was nice as well.

    Wow, my last review here was 4 years ago! Time for an update! As you can see, I've been going to Sushi Para for a few years now. It's definitely one of my favorite All You Can Eat sushi spots. Pricing currently is $22 for All You Can Eat dinner which is a steal! I love their rolls here; their fish is high quality and I love their spicy mayo. The most recent rolls I got were the crunch roll, sapporo roll, and mountain roll. The ginger here is always crisp and their gyoza is my fav gyoza among other AYCE sushi restaurants! I will say, the service is a hit or miss. They don't check up on you really after you order, so sometimes it might take a while if you need something. I don't see a lot of servers during busy nights either, so maybe they're just understaffed, but it's been like that for quite some time. The restaurant is medium-sized, spacious, and has a lot of parking. I'd definitely recommend Sushi Para for some All You Can Eat sushi!

    If you want affordable high quality sushi this is your place!! I drive 30 minutes to enjoy their delish food. The service is mediocre, the ambience is okay but the food gets five stars. I recommend they update their interior a little more. It does feel a little crammed when they are super crowded. Maybe they can add some booths? Or outdoor tables? Their incredible value keeps me and my family coming back. It's only $18 for all you can eat lunch and $25 for dinner sushi. You really can't beat the price anywhere else

    Back to front:Pop up roll, Alaska roll, spicy tuna roll
    Tiffany T.

    I finally found a cheap and pretty good sushi restaurant out here! And they do AYCE too :D I ordered spicy tuna, Alaska roll, and Pop up roll. I enjoyed them all! The flavors were good, there was little rice, and the ingredients seemed fresh. My favorite roll was the pop up roll because I really liked chewiness of the shrimp and the pieces were pretty big. The only thing that slightly bothered me was that the sushi pieces were overall soft/mushy. Maybe I'll order rolls with tempura chips next time to have some more texture. I would definitely make the 20 min drive here to order sushi again and I will definitely come back to do AYCE sushi too!

    We went here for an all you can eat dinner, on a Saturday, around 4 PM ($25/person). They had tables when we got there, but as the evening went on, it started to get full. Around 445. Service was very fast, and we got everything that we ordered very quickly. We ordered a couple appetizers which were OK. The sushi was pretty good! We got about six different rolls.

    Great service and the prices are inflation busters! Sunny is the kindest and most awesome server! It was very busy, limited tables, but worth the wait if you do have to wait around.

One can sit at a table or the main sushi counter. The night I visited, it was rather slow which allowed staff to thoroughly wait on us. I asked a couple of questions about the menu. Our server explained that the most popular rolls were the Garlic Salmon, Mafia, and Hamachi Truffle. Most premium maki come as 8 rolls with the exception of Pink Flower and Tequila which are served as 6. All rolls are made to order with fresh ingredients. I also loved that they offered three options for veggie rolls as it's still my preference! To start, we ordered both the Lychee-tini and Old Fashioned cocktails. They couldn't have been more different in flavor profiles. The Old Fashioned was spirit forward yet smooth. It had a really nice finishing note that directly came from the Japanese Whiskey used. The Lychee-tini was sweeter and had good flavor. I also loved that there was actually a lychee at the bottom of the glass. For mains, my husband got the Mafia and Hamachi Truffle rolls per the staff's recommendation. He explained that the Mafia rolls were more of a mild heat. He preferred the Hamachi Truffle roll as it had a more unique and depth of flavor. I got the Black Garden roll without the jalapeño. I loved the freshness of the rolls and thoroughly enjoyed the veggies mixed with the sauce it had. We both agreed that all rolls tasted like they were made with premium, high quality ingredients. Once we finished, the chef came out to ask how we liked everything. Kaido's service level was amazing with staff clearing plates, refilling water, checking in on how we were doing, and just making sure we had the best dining experience. The details didn't go unnoticed and makes perfect sense why they have such an amazing Yelp score! Highly recommend visiting Kaido Sushi and looking forward to my next visit!

All the food items we ordered came separately over a span of 20+ minutes, with the sandwich arriving last and cold.

So we got out of the car and saw someone pull up in front of the restaurant and jump out at 11:59. As soon as the door was unlocked at 12pm, this customer went in, and a few others after them. This is a small joint, and it was already half full by the time we ordered, then sat down (they told us the table at which to sit). I didn't know, but asked, and found out that a salad bar and miso soup are also included. The salad bar was pretty decent, with fresh vegs. They even had French fried onions (my guilty pleasure) and a very good House dressing (ginger vinaigrette). The portions are enormous. The couple next to us got ramen, and it was practically overflowing. We ordered takoyaki (too much food, we didn't need). I had the Pork Katsu bowl and my companion had a Katsu curry. I wished I had ordered the curry -- it looked dark and rich and thick like pudding (not like a boxed curry). They also gave us a bonus piece of chicken karaage which was so large and crispy. I think I'll get the curry next time, or the ramen. We originally came because we were going to get a karaage sando, but get the curry.

They don't rush you, but you won't have to wait long for both the food and the check. Today I did have my delicious bento box, which as others have agreed, is a great deal for lunch. But I also splurged for a "Rock' n Rol" sushi roll, which was quite tasty. My waitress was wonderful - friendly and efficient as usual. But she didn't rush me personally. She even asked me if I wanted tea. In summary, it's an excellent choice for lunch. Good food, affordable, kind people, and a nice change from a fast food drive-thru.

If you're looking for the most authentic Japanese food outside the city, seems like this and a couple other places are all in the Schaumburg/Elk Grove Village area. Highly recommend hitting their lunch menu if you can because the bento box values are so worth it for authentic Japanese food/sushi. We got there at opening for dinner on a Saturday and got there just before dinner rush! This place is such a hidden authentic gem - you can tell from the decor to the choice of seating design to the actual menu and way they cook the RICE and other dishes. They serve the same grain for sushi as they do regular rice (Tamaki gold). Quality is not skipped here. We got the agedashi tofu (must get appetizer, as it's hard to really every achieve at home cooking), house special curry katsu, the beef kurumaya gozen (bento box) (which has incredible tempura, juicy soft beef), and assorted sashimi platter (I forget the name). All come highly recommended and were well worth the price point. I am just a bit sensitive about the freshness of the sushi, but I think this is probably as fresh as you can possibly get with generous cuts outside the city. Everything down to the miso soup too was delicious - best place to take your friends/family/coworkers for an authentic Japanese meal. Parking lot available out front. Recommend also stopping by Tensuke market nearby after!
