Sumi Sushi

$29.99 all you can eat. It’s good. Wished there were more varieties of food. Overall, not disappointed. Service is a little slower but not too bad. Sometimes, the waiters are more focus on their phones or talking to their coworkers. Food itself was pretty good. Usually come here during non peaked hours.

I visited this place twice in a row for dinner, and both times were amazing! The variety of sushi options is exciting, and the quality is just as great—the fish was fresh, and the rice was perfectly cooked. For my second visit, I brought a friend, and we ordered a large selection of sushi, which was served on a ship-shaped platter with artificial smoke, making the experience even more fun. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we had enough drinks and napkins. I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in Chicago!

I love the all you can eat sushi and BYOB here! For $23.99 during lunch and $29.99 during dinner/all day weekends, the quality and variety are great. A lot of different rolls, nigiri, and appetizers to choose from. They even have mochi and ice cream for dessert. Service is fast and attentive. I love trying new places but always find myself coming back here as a favorite.

All the food was delicious with a great price of $23.99/person for all you can eat. The restaurant has a simple design and ordinary atmosphere. All the rolls were freshly made and had a lot of fish and seafood inside. Great presentation, easy to eat. I would recommend this restaurant for sure and will come again!

First time here and won’t be the last time here! My daughter and I were originally going to grab some prepackaged sushi from Jewel on Roosevelt. And then, I figured for the price of each individual tray along with traffic headed south being backed up, we’d do better dining at an AYCE. Y’all……this place didn’t disappoint! When I say DELICIOUS, I mean DELICIOUS! There were so many creative options for maki. I can’t recall what we had (see pics) but the goal was to eat it all. Our waiter was pleasant and accommodating. The space is sorta small compared to what we experienced in the past. It was clean, easy access to the bathroom (also clean). Less than 24 hours later, we’re CRAVING going back. I’d throw $80 at Sushi almost every day if I could. Parking is available on the street and of course PAID only. We’re probably going to make this our go-to-spot when in the city.

AYCE sushi in the south loop. Sushi are pretty good quality. Except too much rice. If they put a little less, the place will be amazing. Loved the grill squid. Full of grilled flavors. Tempura was good. flaky and crispy. Maki's are decent. The mochi dessert is way better than other places. Service is slow and unattentive at times.

I used to frequent to this place because they have really good sushi with good appetizers but will not be going back to this place ever again! Me and my friend went there for dinner, while we were having food a random homeless person walks up to us and asks us money while we were eating there TWICE!!! and the servers did nothing about it did not ask him to leave. It was not even the worst when we had to pay the bill, the waitress she outright was demanding us pay 12$ or more as tip and she was refusing to take our payment without it! It was not even like we refused to tip them, we were just confused how rudely she was behaving and asking us to pay such tip before even we were given our bill asking for tip after the payment! You lost a regular customer who used to love your food but will never come back again!

I love this spot. Food is super fresh. Customer service is pretty good. Love, love the specials. I can eat a lot here a couple of times a month. Be careful when ordering all you can eat specials. Don't allow your eyes to be bigger than your stomach. I suggest ordering one thing at a time for all you can eat special. If you can't eat what you ordered, they will charge you $1 per item.

Can't count the number of times I've been to this store, so I stopped by today after taking my kids to piano lessons.The fried soft shell crabs were super crispy, and the grilled squid was really good, too.All-you-can-eat is a great deal.Weekends are all-day dinner menus, which means that you can order desserts when you eat lunch as well~!

Really delightful AYCE sushi! Beautiful presentation, tasty. Good quality, lots of variety, and rather swift service. I'll definitely be returning! The environment was minimalistic but chic enough. It's not well insulated in cold weather so maybe bring a sweater! I really loved their veggie roll. The other rolls are great too, I'll have to go back and take better notes on my faves, because I was too eager to eat to review on the spot!

Came in on a Monday at 6pm. Place was decently full. Only two servers available for floor and takeout orders. Pros- Byob. Hamachi collar. Scallop nigiri was decent albeit too much rice. Cons- really hot for August, the AC was nearly non existent. We were sweating the whole time and asked them to turn it lower, but to no avail. Rice was not fluffy/too dense. They didn't bring out half of our order for both rounds! Like super random stuff (missing veggie tempura, ikura, avocado salad, etc). They also ran out of edamame. Overall I would not return. Their apps were not very good. Their rolls were drowning in sauce. Their nigiri could have been decent but the rice was so hard and dense.

6 girls vs 1 boat of sushi and the girls won!! We came for the AYCE menu, which had a lot of options, and we really enjoyed our meal here. The fish on the nigiri were generous portions, very fresh, and delicious. My only complaint is that the fish was a little warm. The rolls were also surprisingly good, some of them were very unique but nonetheless delicious. The food came out pretty quickly, but we were also the only people in the restaurant. The restaurant is relaxed and casual, nice place to catch up with friends

Came here for a light lunch! Not a lot of people inside, but there was a decent amount of to go orders and I can see why! I got the 2 classic roll lunch special. Eel avocado and salmon - the salmon size was nice and not fishy at all. Lots of avocado with a little yearning for more eel. If I lived in this area I can see this place being a decent take out spot if I was craving simple sushi. They also have AYCE!

Great rolls and solid appetizers. Big fan of the gyoza and edamame. The all you can eat option they have is fantastic. I really enjoyed their basic rolls (i.e. salmon avo, spicy tuna) Never a huge fan of the signature rolls, but Sumi's are definitely decent!

AYCE sushi joints are notoriously hit-or-miss. Generally, you're getting lower-quality fish and a lot of rice. Sumi fits this description well. This is definitely not a pure sushi or Japanese restaurant. There are Chinese food items on the menu. If you're looking for value and don't care much about quality, then this place is for you. At the moment, they don't sell alcohol, but they do allow you to bring it in from the local liquor store. Otherwise, their drink selection is pretty typical. It can get busy during peak hours, but service was fast the last time I came.

AYCE: Sushi, appetizers, miso soup, salads, tempura and gyoza were good! Not too much rice on the rolls. . (Careful on the hamachi collar, which is the yellow tail collar. Tastes excellent! But, two of them were served- undercooked). Service is awesome and friendly. Atmosphere was simple and clean. Gratuity is automatically added on the bill. The server was upfront to let us know it was already added to the bill. Street parking.

Today I was craving sushi but decided to stay in and do carry out. One thing I can say is that I was excited that they had their lunch special when on Sunday. That was a pleasant surprise! I love that for me! It's always nice and clean inside. Customer service is great, they take care of you right away. My order was ready pretty quickly which I love. Didn't take long for them to prepare it. I did ask for extra sauce and I didn't get that so I was bummed out about that. I've had it plenty of times before but this time it was just ok....All in all I will continue to order.I'm looking forward to ordering hibachi!

Neighborhood ACYE sushi, is worth the price at $30 pp. I forgot the special roll they had, it was with pozu sauce, cilantro, and seared tuna 10/10 I would just eat 3 rolls of this next time. I love the ambiance and decoration! Will go back soon

Back again to try their newish all you can eat sushi menu. It's 29.99 (cheaper by $5 for weekday lunch) and like many of these, it's always a concern about the quality you get. They also still have their regular menu I believe. I'm glad to say I felt that what we got was the same level in terms of good sized fish cuts, not too much rice, etc as before this menu offering. I loved that there were some more interesting nigiri than the typical options and that people who like rolls with all the things inside would get great value. The appetizer menu, plus salads and dessert made this an exceptional deal with all the selections on the menu. Service was outstanding and attentive and they didn't make us feel bad if we filled out another form to order again. It's BYOB so you can make it a great dinner without pushing the wallet. We will be back!

Stopped by for all you can eat sushi and they did not disappoint! A ton of things on the AYCE menu and we tried a good amount. The crab rangoons were delicious and the rolls came out on a boat which was pretty cool. Our server was attentive and the spot was small and quaint. Will be back for more sushi, so glad they are close to home!

Excellent service. They have all you can eat sushi lunch and dinner specials. This place harbors a beautiful ambiance, but the sushi and miso were not fresh. It was warm and quite nasty but, we ate it all because we didn't want to complain. I recommend Sushi Taku AYCE in wicker park for fresh quality and excellent service.

Ordered the takeout lunch special. The sushi was alright, nothing super special. The food took 35 minutes to be prepared, which I felt was kinda slow for sushi.

Went to the Shedd Aquarium and got a hankering for seafood. I needed some fresh fish immediately, so I ordered online while leaving and my order was ready by the time I walked over. Why did I order Honey Maki? Not sure, maybe I was trying to be spontaneous, but it was so tasty! The avocado, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, and mango never really hit the spot. Definitely a good option if you're in the area.

Supposed to be open at 11. I walked 1.5 miles to get there and nobody home . . Why can't a place keep their hours straight?

Excellent menu, quality, service and price. It will. E one of my "go to" places when I'm in Chicago.

All you can eat for $29? (dinner) lets do it. We tried a little of everything starting with Gyoza and seaweed salad, both were good. All the sushi came out pretty fast, my favorite was the salmon lover and you can't go wrong with yellowtail nigiri. It's also BYOB so bring a bottle of wine/champagne. If you forget there's a go grocer down the street, the restaurant doesn't offer drinks other than coke or sprite. When I have my next sushi craving I know where to go!

Food taste great when you can get pass the horrendous service. Walked in on a Friday night at 9:10pm. We had a movie to catch at 10pm so we were already looking for something quick. When we first walked in, the waitress checked her watch. We then told her we wanted to dine in, which then she checked her watch again to tell us that the kitchen closes at 9:30pm. We ordered several sushi rolls. I then added a sushi deluxe at the end and it was the first thing on the table. We were waiting for our caterpillar roll to eat with our sushi but the waitress forgot to put the order in and denied us the roll because the kitchen was closed. Midway through our meal, the bill was already placed on the table. At 9:44pm, the restaurant was cleared out. They lack basic customer service to run a restaurant. Take it from someone who worked 3 years at a sushi restaurant. There's no picture of the food because we were rushed out of the restaurant.

It's our neighborhood restaurant and the staff are polite and helpful . I placed a phone order and sent out a platter to arrange my sushi rolls for my party. I ordered all vegetarian rolls and they did a fine job . I miss the happy hour though when u would get 1/2 off ur sushi before 3pm .

I come from Michigan to eat here. I always get a ginger salad which is fireeeeeee. It's tiny but the ginger sauce makes it so worth it. I usually get spider roll extra ell sauce and they never miss. They hit it right on the spot everytime I've came here. Crab ragoons. 3-$5 is a little expensive for only 3 that aren't filled a lot but still good. Today I tried the spicy crab sushi and it's hot but I'm white and can't handle spice but it's still a great choice. My boyfriend goes for spicy tuna sushi or tuna tar tar and he loves it. Everytime I come in, service is always sweet and welcoming. They never fail to make me feel comfortable. The cutsey inside decor is absolutely beautiful. Hard wood floors. Multiple sitting areas for small area, this place is a MUST for you to stop by if you're in downtown Chicago

Ordered via Uber eats. Not very good. Hibachi steak ordered medium rare was served well-done, fried rice and vegetables were typical mall Chinese food style and not hibachi style. Sushi was very warm as it traveled in the same bag as hibachi.

This is one of the best kept secrets in Chicago for sushi! All of the rolls taste incredibly fresh, the size of the rolls are great and the prices are awesome for what you get. They even offer an all-you-can-eat lunch special for a great price. Dining in is more "functional" than fancy, but the taste of the food while be more than worth the sit down or it's a great option for pick up or delivery because sushi "travels well." Highly recommended restaurant and always good when trying to figure out something quick and convenient to eat!

Made me sick after eating here, the food was not fresh. The service was ok. The environment is ok but the toilet is dirty.

Great Sushi, fresh sashimi, amazing lobster maki, friendly service and very fast in service

Great food, friendly and attentive service, what a neighborhood gem! We had all you can eat for dinner and everything was delicious and freshly made

Sumi Sushi should be called Sue Me sushi. This was a terrible experience all around. Very unfortunate considering it's so close to home. The all you can eat really destroys the kitchen and service. We ordered 3 rolls and an appetizer to split. We waited for over 40 minutes to get the rolls and the appetizer never came. The food itself was ok nothing spectacular, good value if you're doing all you can eat. Then, when we went to close out they charged us for two all you can eat meals when we specifically ordered off of the regular menu. There was one person working the entire restaurant floor. Hopefully they can step it up soon.

I'm working my way through the sushi spots in town so I headed here for lunch on a Monday. They have great lunch specials! I went for my standard Chirashi though. It was good. The fish was fresh, one piece actually had a spot of blood on it which I've never seen before. The gyoza was a bit underwhelming. The salad was actually quite good. There were a few people there when I went. The waitress was friendly. I don't know that I'd go back. The food wasn't amazing, and parking was difficult. If I was in the area already, maybe.

I've been going to the restaurant for a couple years without a problem. They've changed to an "All You Can Eat" menu, and you can't order a regular meal anymore. It's a poor idea for people who aren't complete gluttons. There was no sashimi on the menu anymore, but I insisted and they made the Deluxe Sashimi that they had been making for years. My partner ordered wayyy too much food - three rolls that they brought in one of those "boat" things. Oddly, they do not show the change to "All You Can Eat" on their website, and if you order to-go, apparently you can still order from the original menu. There was food left, and then we got the shock of the night. Because of the "All You Can Eat" menu, if you want to take away anything they charge you more! In this case $1/piece for about 9 pieces of Maki! Needless to say they got no gratuity. This is a very poor idea in a neighborhood with so many retired people and children.

The lunch roll comes with your choice of 3 rolls and a miso soup or house salad. The service is a little bit slow since there's limited staff, but a great spot if you have some more time for lunch! The food is fresh and delicious and not too filling so you don't have to deal with a food coma during work. They did raise the price so the new ayce option might be a better deal

Súper rica la comida, los tragos deliciosos y muy buena atención de parte de Christian maître d quiero volver, de las mejores experiencias puedes disfrutar en un hambiente sobre todo privado

Great customer service. Quick with a Togo order. Ambiance was pleasant. sushi rolls and salad was tasty and fulfilling.

Went because they started AYCE and it's nearby. Street parking only which is limited. Overall the food was delicious and the quality of the fish was great. There is a decent variety in rolls and good variety in appetizers. The restaurant is clean and cozy. It seems like there's only one waitress working at a time but the restaurant was never too busy and we didn't feel like we had a long wait. They had a lots of takeout orders but overall service is good and we had no wait times for a table. Definitely our new go to all you can eat sushi place.

Got there for the lunch special I give such a low rating since the serving staff is really not nice and like threatening, unfriendly. One of the servers tried to threaten us.

I've been craving sushi for ages, so I wanted to go somewhere nearby in South Loop. Lucky for me, I found Sumi Sushi! We ordered the lunch special for any three rolls (out of around 15 or 16 options), which also comes with a miso soup or salad. I ordered the spicy salmon roll, the eel avocado roll, and the Alaskan roll (salmon, avocado, and cucumber). My friend got the tuna avocado roll, salmon avocado roll, and Philadelphia roll. We both thought that salmon was better than the tuna, but they were all good overall. My favorites were the Alaskan roll and the eel avocado roll! I loved the flavor of the eel sauce and I thought the salmon tasted relatively fresh! The house salad was alright, but quite watery for some reason. I loved the miso soup though! It had a good amount of tofu in it, which I appreciated!! You can also get free edamame if you spend $30, and there's 10% off your first online order The order was ready super quick too!! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the South Loop!

The food was pretty decent/average, but the service was weird. The lady who was my server/host was watching my every move the entire time and it was uncomfortable. I ordered a salad which i ended up not liking because of the sauce so i let her know and she scolded me to never order it again she was actually mad lol...... and then watched me intensely the entire time afterwards. the whole experience was just weird.. and then the bill automatically charges you 20% tip which she did not deserve in any way!

Delicious rolls! Fresh fish, rice was perfectly cooked and flavored. I got the yellowtail maki, Philadelphia maki and the twins roll and everything was delicious.

Sneaky establishment. The sushi was pretty good, but we will not be returning. Very deceitful with pricing. Make sure to ask any/all questions upfront. They will not inform you of particular charges/costs, surprising you once you receive your check.

I was actually pleasantly surprised with Sumi! It's kinda hidden on the corner but I decided to try it out with my sister one night. I got the spicy California and a specialty roll. Both were great! Better than Kai I would say.

The food is decent and delicious for the money you pay. They are friendly and I like very much their ramens. I recommend it!

Restaurant is closed due to license suspension. Hours and info weren't updated on yelp.

Sumi is my go-to for sushi! Very good quality at a reasonable price point with fast, friendly service, and they even offer 20% off for happy hour in the afternoon. The fish is always fresh, and the makis are not stuffed with a ton of rice as a cheap filler. AND they actually pay attention to special requests! Add it to your rotation today!

Fresh and delicious. Service is always prompt and properly handled. I usually get it to go but it a spacious restaurant to dine in.

This place has great options for vegetarians. In particular, I really enjoyed their peanut avocado roll and the sweet potato roll. The All You Can Eat menu is a great deal because it also includes appetizers and dessert. The waiter was incredibly nice and the restaurant was very clean and inviting. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because the mango salad was just okay. Everything else was great! Would definitely come again!!

This is a solid spot for Japanese. It's BYOB, so come prepared! I came in on a Monday looking for ramen. Service was friendly. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen with pork belly. The broth had good flavor, quite rich as it should be. The pork belly was tender. Soft boiled egg half had a nice hint of soy sauce and is warm (hate it when ramen joints throw a cold egg in ramen). The noodles were real ramen noodles, but slightly overcooked, so it was a tad too soft. Overall, it's a competitive ramen bowl taste wise. At $13, not too shabby. Definitely give this place a try!

No alcohol. You can just order water. Strange for a sushi restaurant. Just ok options. Would go somewhere else.

This was my second time going here. First time was to celebrate my friend's birthday. Three of us ordered a bunch of food. Like literally! We pretty much ordered 2 appetizers, 2 kitchen appetizers, and 4 specialty rolls. Let me just tell you everything was SUPERB! The waitress was kind to put the cake that I brought in their fridge. She even light the candle! It's like a 5 stars restaurant except for one thing and I'll explain it in the end. Second time was today. And I came here to have a lunch date with my husband. We ordered grill squid appetizer, sashimi lunch and 2 rolls (sakura maki and lobster maki). Everything was perfect. Taste and service were on point. Now here comes the part why I took one star from this place. Both times I was here, there were so many flies (fruit flies/small annoying flies). A couple flies ended up in our food. I wish Sumi can find a way to kill those little buggers.

I really wanted to give this place 4 stars but I feel like it just missed the mark. The meal started off really well with the dragon roll (however for some reason they didn't put the cream cheese in there that was supposed to be in there) the roll was very very good, but would have been better with the cream cheese . The smoked salmon sushi/nigiri was also good, so fresh and pretty large pieces. The other two rolls were slightly disappointing- the volcano was missing spice- feel like it needed a kick. And hedgehog was interesting. It had jalapeño but I felt like they were kind of low in flavor so you couldn't feel the spice and it was overall lacking in flavor. The calamari on top was a bit chewy. The service was friendly.

The food was delicious! My family is from the east coast so we have high sushi standards, and this place met them. $30 all you can eat is a fantastic price. We went here for my birthday and it was great because the all you can eat includes appetizers, special rolls, and dessert. The server brought us mochi without asking, which was really nice. It's definitely a more lowkey sushi restaurant, which is nice if you don't want to go a super fancy place but you also want good quality sushi. My mom was especially very happy with this restaurant, so I would definitely recommend it because she's pretty picky when it comes to restaurants.
