The sushi is ok not the best but not the worst. The rice is dry so at times the rolls fall apart and they cut the sashimi too thick. The quality of the fish is good. The owner is super nice as I met him whilst waiting for my food. The wait staff is nice as well. The place is super clean and I would go there again. read more

This is our spot for sushi TO GO. Everything is fresh and the rolls are beautiful! They also offer a variety of entrees if sushi isn't your thing. read more

Great food and awesome service! Food is always presented beautifully. Has been our go to for sushi since it opened in Elmhurst

We order from Sushi Time on a regular basis for lunch take out. Great prices and delicious lunch specials!

I ordered from here during the COVID-19 pandemic, so I can't comment on their service or decor. This review is only about the food. Although the tempura I ordered was excellent, the unagi rolls were filled with bones. The tom yum soup was mostly water. Ten dollars is a lot to pay for lightly flavored water with a few veggies. I would go somewhere else for Japanese food. read more

Great little sushi place. The staff is very friendly and the food is yummy. The wait can get pretty long at times. read more

Sushi Time - Godzilla and Blackhawks - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

Read the reviews and took a chance, first time ordering - delivery to our hotel. They had a couple of issues delaying the delivery, however were very nice on the phone and the delivery guy was very nice. These things happen. We had soup, gyoza, spring rolls and teriyaki dinner - chicken and shrimp. The soup and appetizers were superb, the teriyaki chicken while flavorful, the chicken was like jerky, super cooked....... the veggies were perfect! Would definitely order from there again, as they were nice folks and most of the meal was superb. read more

Ordered the spicy tuna roll, spicy scallop roll, and unagi roll. I also got the shrimp and veggie appetizer as well as the thai tofu. The spicy tuna was really good, spicier and more flavorful than most. The unagi was decent, and the spicy scallop was alright. The thai tofu was crispy upon delivery and the sauce was amazing. The tempura was big, crispy, and hot when it arrived as well. The sauce was not sweet enough, compared to other restaurants. All the food was so well presented, especially for a delivery order. I have yet to see that. The pricing is high, but the quality makes it quite fair. 4/5 instead of 5/5 because it was 70 minutes to be delivered, price point, and 2 rolls were not something to be noted for. I would recommend the place and most likely to return. read more

Haven't had sushi in over year, new to the area and was in the search for a decent Sushi place. Sushi Time popped up and decided to give it a try. This restaurant is pretty small and hard to miss. Free parking all around on the street or in a parking garage. Upon entering you see that there isn't much space in the dining room. A few tables and the sushi bar. Once inside you are greeted and sat down. I had my infant son with me and all the tables were full and se we got sat at the sushi bar. Disappointingly you cannot see what the chefs are making due to the glass being covered. There wasnt too much wait to get our order taken, just enough time to look over the menu and decide what to eat. I ordered the Crunchy Roll and the Shrimp Mango roll, the wife ordered the Mexican Roll and Shrimp Tempura roll. Food came in under 5 minutes which is good. Presentation for the plates looked good. Rolls where displayed nicely. Taste was delightful. Everything was fresh. All the ingredients worked together nicely. Nothing was off tasting, no sourness, bitterness or foul smells. Overall, great restaurant, great people, and great food. Will be coming back, and recommending. read more

Great hidden gem! Was looking for a good sushi place near me and found Sushi Time. It's small and cozy. Enjoyed both the service and the food. Loved the tempura veggies! Have been here a couple of times now and so far, the food is consistently good. I love the Miami Roll! Will be coming here more often. read more

Excellent food- super fast delivery. Never ordered sushi delivery before now...was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and delicious everything was! I travel a lot for business...and getting food delivered to a hotel is often touch and go. But this place is really really good....highly recommend their specialty rolls, cucumber salad, tempura and udon. The delivery was very fast each night I ordered. Only complaint is that they aren't in Michigan:) read more

My absolute favorite sushi restaurant - I have their number in my favorites! Great selections, and friendly phone staff that get every single order just right. Kudos to the chefs too - OBVIOUSLY! read more

GOOD, CHEAP SUSHI..... Chicago has no shortage of Japanese sushi restaurants, so when my friend noticed that a new sushi joint had officially opened up in her town of Elmhurst, she was super fain! We decided to hit up Sushi Time for lunch on March 30. If you've got a taste for typical sushi, from spicy tuna to spicy salmon to the tekka and dragon rolls, this Elmhurst sushi spot is your jam. You are not going to experience the more high-end sushi with black rice, quail egg, marinated salmon roe or monkfish here. Instead, what you will experience are basic sushi rolls. For example, California, salmon, yellow tail, spicy tuna, sweet potato, spicy salmon or spicy yellow rolls. The fish here perfectly complements this downtown suburbanite surrounding. Our rolls shimmered with freshness and delectable flavors. We ended up spending under $25 for good, cheap sushi. For wine pairings that complement sushi beautifully, my recommendations are a bold and spicy Viognier or Gewürztraminer (these two will cleanse your palate nicely if you decide to add Wasabi to your sushi). Also, try Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and sparkling wines or even a bottle of champagne! For any pink fish, such as, salmon based sushi, pair it with a good, dry German Riesling or any earthy red wines, like a Burgundy, Beaujolais or Pinot Noir. Many wines pair well with sushi, but many do not. Don't be afraid to experiment with wine and try some different wines. Enjoy being a real wine risk taker! The rolls are packed with decent quality ingredients and are also great for sharing, which we did. The presentation was gorgeous, but not terribly creative. Their lunch specials range from $4.95 to 10 bucks. These sushi rolls are tasty enough to sate you. It's not easy to get inventive with vegetarian sushi, but the Sushi Chef here figured out how to jazz up their rolls without the fish. There are several veggie-friendly options at Sushi Time. I am not vegetarian, but tried a few of these options. You can also request sushi without the fish. The vegetarian rolls we tried were the kappa and avocado rolls, which were taken up a notch with the infusion of the Japanese horseradish otherwise known as Wasabi. It was nice to be inculcated into the cult of sushi once again, since I do enjoy these tiny ethereal morsels. Sushi Time has large glass windows allowing the sunshine to brighten up its modern interior. It has clean lines with bright, cheerful colors in a tight, minimalist space. But the mind-blowing Fire & Ice salad served here is well worth the cramped quarters. Five stars for this salad. I cannot say that the sushi rolls here are on par with the city's higher-end offerings that I have personally experienced, but the sushi rolls had fresh, quality ingredients infused with great flavors. This low-key sushi eatery draws in neighborhood locals, people who work nearby, and sushi connoisseurs alike, serving super-fresh rolls at a reasonable cost. BTW, do not attempt to visit Sushi Time while hungover -- aside from the fact that raw fish is death to the whiskey-battered tummy, but the sunshine streaming through the large glass windows in this joint can hurt your eyes (remember to keep your shades on at all times). Sushi Time elevated our discussion on this cult-ish oceanic delicacy and created a worthy destination for the City's sushi lovers, like yours truly, and will do the same for the notoriously prickly bunch. It was lunch time and the place was not crowded or overly busy. It was quiet. This is a great spot for meeting up with a friend for a catch-up session. My final rating is 4-stars, because service was lackadaisical. We appreciated their ebullient philoxenia though. The sushi that we ordered is 4-star worthy, but the price point is worthy of 5-stars. I would not make a special trip back to Sushi Time, but if I am ever in the area, I would hit it up again. read more

My favorite sushi place in downtown Elmhurst, and there are many. This is the best as far as quality, creativity, flavor, and price. Only gripe is they close from 3:00-4:00, and those are flexible times. I once ordered a to-go order and arrived at 2:55pm to find the doors locked. I had to wait until they reopened to have lunch (I know, first world problems). But my issue is I didn't even get a courtesy call to tell me that they were closing at a certain time and there was some urgency in my arrival if I wanted my order. read more

I have been ordering delivery lunch from this place since they opened. They are so friendly, the takeout is well presented and everything has been delicious. I am very happy to be within their delivery range. 1 specialty roll fills me for the whole work day. I am pleased and impressed! The Hibachi and Teriyaki Chicken lunch specials were so good. Tons of food and again, beautifully presented! My new favorite lunch delivery:) read more

Soooooo...in Elmhurst this is your best sushi bet. It is better than Wok n Fire, Sushi Nest, and Sakana. (Why ARE there so many sushi places within walking distance of each other? Not sure if that's good for business or not). I wouldn't say it's my favorite sushi place for regular old maki rolls (compared to other NON Elmhurst sushi joints) BUT the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy yellowtail here were certainly decent and spicy (which most places can't handle). The good: 1. Service and prices are great. 2. Fish is fresh, rolls are decently sized, and the spicy rolls are not completely mushy mayo messes (also spicy is actually kind of spicy). 3. Miso soup was good...and complementary! The bad: 1. The rice is kind of hard. 2. The spicy rolls all came with crunch. I would definitely ask for the rolls without that addition next time. 3. The yellowtail was forgettable. The restaurant is also pretty small but it seems like they do a decent sushi bar and takeout business. If I'm ever hankering for sushi in Elmhurst, I'd definitely make this my stop. read more

We had a party of 4 attend on a Saturday afternoon. 3 of the people ordered lunch specials with chicken in them, and we each loved them! The one sushi fan loved his rolls as well. The interior is small, so take-out is an excellent option. You get a good amount of food for the very fair lunch special prices. Crab ragoon was hot and fresh, plus their filling is really creamy and delicious. We all agreed it was great food and great service! read more

Very clean, intimate setting with fresh, authentic sushi dishes. The lunch specials are very reasonably priced and are served in a timely manner. Their crab rangoon was very creamy and had better assembly than any other restaurant I've experienced.

Excellent sushi...and portions are ridiculously large. Menu is a little limited and the rolls could use a higher fish to rice ratio but still it's a solid spot all around read more

I sure do miss eating sushi in Shinjuku! Nestled in the downtown Elmhurst, this small restaurant has pretty awesome pricing on their specials. Went here for Sunday lunch since Chicago was having the annual marathon and there is no way I'm gonna try to get to the city in reasonable time. Ordered the sushi delux and the sashimi dinner which was plenty for 2 people. Presented beautifully and the portion was pretty big also. Reasonably priced and good quality. A definite gem in the western suburbs! read more

Great Place. Delicious food and quick friendly service. On my first visit we had the Gyoza, and the Dragon Roll and Rock'n Roll. I had a taste for good Sushi and Sushi Time hit the spot. I look forward to going back. read more

"Fish are friends, not food!" Yeah that shark in Finding Nemo had that all wrong. Haha. Oh my goodness, when I say this place is perfection, I'm so not kidding. Absolutely beautiful place when you walk in. It's really small so it's not good for a huge party. But the decor is trendy and the place is gorgeous and clean. The wait staff are very friendly and they really go out of the way to make their customers comfortable and happy. We ordered 6 different regular rolls. MY FAVORITE ONES WE ORDERED: Mango salmon roll and the tuna, salmon, avocado roll. The fish is so fresh you wouldn't even believe you were eating fish. There is absolutely no fishy stench. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN TASTING. And you know how a lot of sushi places tend to overdo it with the rice? Not here! The rice and fish ratio is perfect. Oh my UMAMI! The presentation is great too and so appealing. They have a great motto: "Eat happy and eat healthy." I love walking out of a restaurant completely satisfied and feeling good knowing I had good food choices for dinner. Hahaha. COME HERE NOW!!!! That's all I have to say:) read more

The rolls here are pretty good and the chicken katsu is phenomenal. Delivery is quick and the rolls taste very fresh. Some places deliver your rolls and they can be chewy or taste like they have been sitting for a while but not this place. Service is friendly when you eat in. Definitely recommend. read more

If you've been following, I base everything off the yellowtail roll with green onion. It's very good here. read more

Terribly disappointing! This place has great reviews so I was really surprised when the food wasn't good! My cousin and I went in on a Saturday night for dinner and ordered a couple of sushi rolls and some fried rice. The sushi was just terrible! The quality of the fish and everything else was fine, but my goodness, everything was ridiculously salty. We each took 1 piece of each roll we ordered and couldn't eat it beyond that. They also used imitation crab meat on one of the rolls while the menu doesn't indicate it would be imitation - not cool. We ended up eating the fried rice which was much better than the sushi, but it wasn't even amazing fried rice. I'm not in this area too often, but with there being a ton of other restaurants in the area, including another sushi place, I can't see myself wanting to return to this place. read more

If you're looking for great tasting sushi with creative presentation for a reasonable price then you've got to try Sushi Time. I've had about half of their regular and specialty sushi rolls and the sizes of their specialty rolls are pretty decent. It's easy to get filled up on a specialty roll and an appetizer. Speaking of appetizers their crab ragoon was amazing! It had just the right amount of cream cheese and imitation crab meat stuffed into flaky yet fluffy dough. I only wish the regular sushi rolls were as filling as the specialty ones. read more

Sushi Time - To the right (my fav) dragon roll. To the left spicy tuna roll and california roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

This is my favorite place to eat, not even my favorite sushi place but in general my favorite restaurant. I've been coming here almost once a week for a few months now and the service is amazing. Only reason for the four stars is because they've hired some new staff and they seem under trained. We sat outside yesterday and got our drinks and appetizer fairly quickly and we placed our order (my favorite is the sweet potato roll, I recommend it to everyone!) and it was taking a lot longer than usual for our food to arrive. We went inside to ask if our food is ready and they were surprised we haven't gotten our food yet because it was ready for a while. Please train the staff better. Other than that, the food is amazing and it's always fresh! read more

This was my go to sushi restaurant when I used to be in the area a lot. Fresh sushi, good value especially during business lunch specials. Best sushi value in my opinion read more

Yum! Sushi and Thai! The sweet and sour chicken was perfectly fried without being over cooked and the chicken was white meat. Sushi was fresh and order was ready within 15minutes. Would recommend and will order again soon! read more

Shrimp tempura roll was fine. I bite into the tuna avocado roll and nothing tasted bad but something was REALLY firm. I tried the next piece and realized it was the tuna..bleh. Was not sushi grade tuna. I took out the tuna and ate the rest because I didn't have time to go take it back. Not good. read more

Sushi Time - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

This place is the absolute best. The sushi is SO GOOD. It's always very clean inside and the servers are very kind and attentive. But the sushi is hands down the best part of the sushi time experience. They never skimp on the fish in the rolls. Some sushi restaurants overcharge for tiny rolls filled with cucumber and avocado and just a morsel of fish - not so at Sushi Time. If I had one complaint, it would be that the sushi disappears from my plate before I am ready to be finished. But that is because I cannot stop eating it. read more

Sushi Time in Elmhurst earns a solid 4 stars. My hubby and I are always searching for a sushi restaurant to replace our favorite in lovely Madison, WI. Sushi Time comes closer than any other restaurant we've tried in the 'burbs. Their regular roll offerings (salmon/mango, tekka, and salmon skin) are the usual along with some more creative rolls (mango, sweet potato, asparagus...). All were very reasonably priced. We also tried two specialty rolls (yellowtail hot tail and veggie caterpillar) - which came with their own dipping sauces. These were both very good, but there was something 'off' tasting about the yellowtail. And I think the prices on the specialty rolls are a few dollars too high. The service was great; friendly, attentive, but not overbearing and the space was nicely laid out. I enjoyed sitting along the windows. It's a small space though, so if it's a busy night I imagine it would feel very cramped. read more

Sushi Time is amazing. My girlfriend and I often order to-go from here, and every time I purchase the Double Spicy Roll, which I've become quite addicted to. The staff here has always been friendly and service always prompt. They even include goodies in the bag, with your meal. (Pieces of flavored candy or, on Valentine's Day, chocolates.) Highly recommend. read more

The best Sushi place in town. I highly recommend this place. The Sushi taste so good.
