Nestled in Elmhurst, Akino Sushi offers a cozy, industrial vibe with a tempting AYCE menu featuring fresh sushi, udon, and donburi—all at wallet-friendly prices.
"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
"At Akino Sushi in Elmhurst, you won’t feel like you have to “beat the restaurant” in order to get your money’s worth on their AYCE deal. You can try, but they aren’t deploying any of the countermeasures you’ll find at similar places, like overloading nigiri with a ball of rice the size of a 12-gauge shotgun shell. A small restaurant with brick walls, Akino just serves well-made, simple sushi for a reasonable price. Weekdays are $26 for lunch and $41 for dinner, while weekends are $43 all day, and you get two hours to order as much as you want. This is one of the few AYCE sushi spots that doesn’t cater to a rowdier crowd, because they don’t offer an all-you-can-drink option. But bottles of beer are also nicely priced at $5. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
