"Normally, AYCE sushi spots mean one thing: birthday parties for barely legal college students, with sake bombs, pitchers of beer, and people going "Woo!" And that’s just fine, if that’s what you’re looking for. If you’re not, try Akino Sushi in Elmhurst, a quieter spot that offers $26 AYCE at lunch, and $41 at dinner on weekdays (weekends are $43). They avoid some of the classic maneuvers you might find at similar spots, like serving nigiri with avocado-sized balls of rice. Instead, their sushi is simple but solid, and genuinely endless. Drink a $5 beer while checking off rolls for your sixth round of sushi." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim
