Great little hidden gem! Don't let it being in a strip mall deter you. Everything we had was delicious! Presentation was great. I think this will become a regular place for us! read more

Food was ok. Service was not great, the waitress burped at us as she was giving us our food. Rarely came to the table and we had to get up to pay since they never came back to get the check. We will not be returning. read more

Sushi Pirate - Sushi Platter - Japanese Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

I have found a new favorite spot!! This diamond of a sushi spot is sitting cozy in mini shopping area of north Aurora. The restaurant is clean, quiet and spacious. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a chirpy hello and the ability to sit anywhere. I was studying this particular day, so I was able to sit at a table near a plug. Due to me having to use 3 different screens, the waiter advised me to move to a bigger table with a plug! There were only about 3 employees in the restaurant, but the server didn't miss a beat. She was kind and efficient in making sure they each customer was served appropriately. The sushi is phenomenal! I enjoyed the Godzilla roll the most. Although I ordered the dragon roll, it seemed that the crunch on the roll was cooked a bit too long. With both rolls (10 pieces each), a glass of water....I only spent $33. I will be visiting this spot at least weekly. read more

New sushi place for me. Was good but not as good as some of the others i've tried lately. Very well packaged and priced fairly. A good stop if you're in the area read more

I don't care, I like sushi pirate. Yes the ambiance is lackluster to say the least, it's never very crowded when I come here to eat. It's like a hole in the wall restaurant, but for sushi. I come here for two reasons only. The prices and the fresh sushi. They always have little promotions going on and the sushi has always been fresh and tasty. The staff is usually very limited, but it works out because there's never more than 3 different parties there at a time. Many times you may be the only party. The service is decent, it isn't exceptional. Would I recommend you bring a date you really want to impress here? Of course not but, if you are hungry and want something good and cheap this is your place! read more

This is one of the few sushi places with reasonable prices. I ordered through DoorDash and the total costs have been so budget friendly that I feel like I can justify ordering sushi for dinner a bit more often. I have ordered there 3 times already and will order more whenever I crave sushi. read more

I held off from trying Sushi Pirate even though it's one of the few options for sushi and Japanese cuisine available in West Aurora for a while because I had heard mixed reviews and didn't want to take the chance on spending a lot only to be disappointed. But I finally decided to give them a try tonight and was pleasantly surprised. Ordered delivery around 8:24 but didn't realize that their cutoff was 8:30pm until after I had placed it so I was a little worried that I might get the last bits of things from the day but everything I ordered tasted great and very fresh. I ordered a seaweed salad and two signature rolls, the Passion Love and Cubs. It was actually pretty difficult to choose as a number of their offerings sounded really good but I was happy with my choices. The Passion Love is great for fish lovers as it comes with yellowtail, super white tuna, and red snapper along with jalapeño, lime slices and sweet ponzu. Very refreshing and tasty! The Cubs roll features seared Cajun salmon, tuna, avocado, jalapeno slices and wasabi Mayo with fish eggs and it was excellent too. Although I can't speak for what it's like dining in at the restaurant I would definitely consider it given how good the take out quality is and will most likely order from here again in the future. read more

Love this place, order all the time..one of the best "hole in the wall" places we've found.

arrived at sushi pirate around 650 and it was busy with take out orders and dining in.. it was Valentine's Day and it was busy. but let me tell you as busy as they were we had our water and menus in a timely matter. We ordered and we got our appetizer and right after that we got our food. Everything was delicious and fantastic. it's definitely the spot for sushi. the drinks and the entrée 10 out of 10. read more

I placed an order to go and let them know that I had two Littles that were very hungry and they were very quick to get our order ready!! Great service. read more

I've been ordering takeout/delivery from Sushi Pirate for years. 10+ now, maybe? (omg I'm old) I believe it changed hands within the last year or so but the quality has remained the same. To be completely transparent, I've never been wowed by their sushi but I've also never been disappointed either. My parents and I get together every week for "sushi Fridays" and today for whatever reason we couldn't order delivery from them thru the dash/uber apps (probably because of high traffic, totally understandable) so we went with another sushi place in the area that had decent reviews. We were all kinda bummed while we were eating.. we asked questions like "is this good? I dono, it's just different. It's ok but it's not sushi pirate good!" If I've learned anything tonight it's that sushi doesn't have to wow you, it just has to hit that spot every time! Sushi pirate has consistently hit the spot for me over the years. If you're on the fence please give them a try! Also the crazy jalapeño app is a chef's kiss, try it! read more

This is the perfect place for a more casual sushi date. It's not super fancy but the sushi is still high quality and the service is great. We started with some miso soup which hit the spot. It was the perfect temperature and full of flavor. We also tried the California roll, dragon roll & perfect match roll. They all tasted great but we both agreed the perfect match was our favorite! read more

I had a craving for sushi one night and decided to try delivery from here. I will definitely be ordering again! I got a few different rolls and some chicken fried rice to take to work the next day. I really enjoyed the sushi and I honestly love the fried rice. I had liked the sushi enough to order again just based on that but when I had the rice I got excited to order again because of how much I enjoyed it. read more

My daughter and I are obsessed with this place! The prices are reasonable and the food comes out amazing every time! read more

I would give Sushi Pirate a 4/10 total rating. We have eaten at a lot of sushi places in the past 15 years and this was on the lower end. Right when we walked in at 5:30 on a Saturday evening and there were no customers, I should have known it wasn't the best food. Since we were the only ones there, I expected the service to be great. It was decent but not the best. The appetizer was very good. Best part of the meal. The sushi itself had very little flavor and lacked any wow factor for the price it had. I would not recommend. read more

I have only used this business for carry out, but the sushi has been fresh, the sides adequate, and the price within reason.

Excellent sushi and fantastic service. We love going for the lunch specials. Nice atmosphere and plenty of parking.

Overall this is a spacious, but sparsely decorated sushi place with a TV on the wall. The food itself was very nicely prepared, fresh, and well presented. The service was quick, the food came out right and in a timely manner. Definitely recommended! read more

I was extremely disappointed, I read all the reviews and still wanted to be positive and give this sushi a try! We walked in and the woman behind the counter yelled across the dining room here or to go, she then pointed to a booth right in front walked over tossed menus on the table and rushed back behind the counter. I was excited and I went straight to checking out the menu after several minutes we had our order ready. My partner noticed that a party of four walked in after us and got waters and menus right away. I didn't think it was too big a deal I figure maybe they are busy. Another worked walked over to the booth directly behind us and attended the guests. Completely ignored us. After several minutes we just decided to get up and leave. Horrible experience. Too bad it's so close to home read more

The food was almost great! Ordered 3, $16 rolls which were very, very small and the ramen only had 4 shrimp in each bowl. A friend recommended them, " sorry friend", Time to find a better restaurant. Also, bathroom was super dirty, not sure how the kitchen is. read more

The service was fast and great! Price-wise it is a little expensive but everything tasted good. I got the Cubs roll and the spicy salmon roll along with the sweet shrimp sushi in the squid sushi. In total, that was $30. I highly recommend the Cubs roll! read more

Great, cozy restaurant. Food was really good and fresh with good portion sizes. The flavored Saki was also great. There appeared to only be 1 waitress who was a bit rushed but that did not seem to stall the service at all. The food came to our table fresh. There are many options at various price points. If you don't like sushi they also sell chicken and beef fried rice that is not soaked in soy sauce and includes light vegetables. My 1st time going was March and we've already returned again in March for takeout. read more

Stop in for dinner on a Saturday night around 7pm. We were greeted as soon as we came in and seated quickly. By 7:30 it was very busy, all tables were taken and they had people picking up to-go orders throughout the time we where there. The restaurant is small(ish) with a sushi bar, 4 booths, and 4 tables. There were so many items on the menu that sounded amazing. We ended up ordering 4 rolls. We alway order the godzilla roll from every sushi restaurant we try. This was this first time we didn't love that roll, it wasn't bad just not as good as others we had tried and fell very short compared to the 3 other rolls we ordered. The crispy eel and dragon roll were both very good. The star of the rolls was the rock and roll, it was delicious. We will definitely be back if we are in the area. read more

Sushi Pirate - One both sides is the dragon roll. Top to bottom of the center: godzilla roll, crispy eal roll(I think that's the name), rock and roll. - Japanese Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

Ordered thru Uber Eats, food arrived perfect. Godzilla roll, California roll, sweet potato roll and gyoza. All so good..esp the Godzilla roll. I'd definitely order from here again. I don't eat sushi often and I don't eat raw fish, so I can't speak on that type of sushi they offer, but the items I ordered were pretty amazing. Definitely on my favorites list. Dont have a photo to post bec we ate our rolls pretty quick. read more

I'm going to start this review with a tip! Go on Sundays !! All their products are 20% off !! It's amazing ! For the amount of food you get, it's an amazing deal ! I love how you can see them make the sushi right in front of you and the staff are always very nice ! I always get the California roll and the spicy crab ! Both equally fantastic! If you order enough sushi it comes in a giant centerpiece for you ! I also really enjoy the fried rice and my fried always orders their miso soup ! read more

The food was fine, but their website has a $5 off coupon that they refuse to accept. Seems a new hostess that needs some customer service training as she was also quite rude about it. A lot of discussion ensued for understanding, but in the end I paid for my order and left disappointed. Don't trust them with their coupon. read more

Great fresh sushi. Perfect lunch with kids. Stopped by on Sunday. To check out the rolls. Tried the California roll Spicy salmon. Shrimp tempura. And the AURORA roll. Everything was fresh. Good quick service. Still not open for inside dining. read more

Probably my favorite sushi joint in North Aurora! It's close to the Orchard Gateway Blvd shopping area so it's convenient after running errands. I really enjoy the location because the customer service is awesome and the food is legit! I will judge a sushi place off of their basic rolls. I consider shrimp tempura basic. It's my fave basic roll so I would order that and try a signature roll or two. The presentation is so nice as well. They take the time out to properly plate your food even if it's just a couple of rolls. Big sushi eater or just trying it out, I encourage everyone to try this place out.

Very rude,unprofessional and such an unfriendly vibe.They are selective who they want to serve so it's not worth spending your money and time to.There's plenty of other smaller sushi restaurants in the City who are more respectful,humble and has a friendlier staff to cater to you.Not the Best Sushi in town.I don't know how this place is still open since the customer service is horrible.Never going back here again.Not recommended.Does not even deserve 1 star. read more

So this place taste great and the food is fantastic. The inside is very nice and appears very clean. The biggest concern I have is the service and lack of help. I have been to this location a handful of times and every single time I've came there is only one person serving, the same person handling online orders, the same person cleaning and the same person seating. Today I'm watching this lady physically run everywhere she is going because she is so busy. Every single table is full. I'm not sure if it's a lack of help or just being cheap to hire help but they need it. I waited over 10 minutes to be greeted and have had to wait longer to order. Lady is busting her ass off so kudos to her but let's get her some help. read more

Was recommended to try this restaurant by a friend. So I took my nieces and nephews about 2 weeks ago. We had 5 in our party. The service was excellent. We had to wait for one sushi roll so the waitress brought out one of their more expensive specialty rolls ...complimentary! All of our entrees and sushi were delicious. Going back again tomorrow! read more
