Squid Ink Sushi Bar - Peoria

The sushi here was so fresh! Very high quality. I had the salmon box and the flavors they combine made the most amazing bite! Good size portions and the flavor alone was worth the $20 price. Our server was the bartender. Chris. Very fast and very nice . I always ask for the servers recommendations, after all they are the ones that eat there everyday, and his did not disappoint! Very relaxing environment during the day and we are also planning to come back Thursday for live music night!

I love this place! The service is absolutely top-notch! The food is beyond flavorful and delicious! Handcrafted cocktails, great appetizers, and definitely an amazing happy hour! The staff is amazing… They are on it! Plenty of parking, and great times! The patio is a must! I will always support this business!

I recently dined at Squid ink, and had an overall delightful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing fresh seafood prepared with great flavor. I particularly appreciated the attractive lunch deals, offering both value and variety. The service was commendable—friendly and attentive staff made the visit enjoyable. However, I did notice that my water glass wasn’t refilled as often as I would have liked, which was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise great service experience. Overall, I would definitely recommend squid ink for anyone craving quality seafood and a pleasant dining atmosphere, especially during lunch for their fantastic deals.

Really good Asian fusion place. Fresh and inventive dishes served by friendly people in a clean, comfortable surrounding. Highly recommended.

We bought our house in Peoria about four years ago and have been coming here since then. This is definitely one of our most favorite spots. We have came here for a quick dining and also with friends and the staff has always been very accommodating. The food is absolutely amazing and a great atmosphere. We love sitting outside by the gas fireplace, late fall or early spring. Thank you for having an amazing spot for us to bring our family and friends and hang out and have great food.

The Miso soup was great and the sushi was good, but I feel like overall the food was overpriced. I was bummed that we arrived before 2pm and by the time the server took our order it was 2:01pm and she wouldn’t let us order their lunch special anymore. We also waited so long for our check that we had to go to the front check in desk to pay when we were done. If the service was better, I may consider returning.

Went here for lunch today with my kids and my aunt. My aunt is very disabled and can only sit in booths so we had to sit right next to a table of rowdy and beefy men in their 40s downing multiple large bottles of sake. They were having a very loud and fun lunch, filming each other chugging their booze. Whatever, that was fine. Then they started dropping loud f-bombs and other choice language and my kids got really uncomfortable. I asked them very politely if they could please try not to swear in front of my kids. The one doing the swearing became belligerent, denied doing it, then said he didn't care, and one of his buddies said he didn't care either. I clarified "did you just say that you don't care?" and luckily the manager swooped in just then and asked them to leave. One kindly peeled out, but the others put up a really big fuss. The manager explained he's trying to run a family place and he'd call the cops if needed. It got really uncomfortable but they left. They seemed to be VERY drunk. The manager then came to apologize to us. His name was Aaron. I credit him for doing what he did, and it wasn't the restaurant's fault these guys were drunk lunks. I'm very thankful he stepped in when he did, because the conversation was turning really dark. Big men, picking on a mom, two children, and a disabled woman. The food was ok. The servers were great. I don't know if I'd be back just because it would remind me of this experience. On a personal note, I wish the lunks well, hope they got home safely, and hope they can find some grace for others next time.

We fell in love with this place instantly! Great friendly service, nice atmosphere, and the food was absolutely delicious! We highly recommend trying the surf and turf! Soon good! Can't wait to be back soon! 😁🥰
