Sakana AYCE Sushi Buffet is an excellent spot for fresh, high-quality sushi and a great overall dining experience. The selection is extensive, everything was well-prepared, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. What truly made our visit stand out was the wonderful service from our server, Mia. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the entire meal. Her positive attitude really elevated the experience. Highly recommend Sakana for anyone looking for great sushi and exceptional service. See pictures below for reference.

Heard great things about a new AYCE in the neighborhood so I had to check it out. The 10pc sashimi per person is really what drew me to this place. The quality was decent but pieces seemed quite small, which I guess is fair since it is at an AYCE. Nigiri was disappointing as fish to rice ratio was not great. Seemed like 90% rice and 10% fish.. and that varied depending on the fish. The salmon was probably the best fish on their menu. Ordered one of everything from their premium selections except the avocado salad. They’re alright. Nothing impressive. I also tried the soups: miso, udon, and ramen. Miso and ramen were good, but udon lacked flavor. Same goes for the stir fried udon. The bacon emojis was really good! Greasy but good. Tempura was decent. Wings were so disappointing. They were

Amazing premium AYCE in the south Loop! Came in on a Sunday & enjoyed the fresh & delcious apps, rolls & sashimi. Nice variety of options. Fast & friendly service (thanks Lulu!) in a cool Japanese themed decor booth with great music too!

I came here for the all you can eat menu and the staff was absolutely incredible. They were so kind, attentive, and quick with everything. We ordered Veggie Gyoza, Veggie Harumaki, Vegetable Fried Udon Noodle, Veggie Tempura, Edamame, Miso Eggplant, and a variety of veggie sushi. For veggie sushi I felt like there were not too many variations. A lot of them tasted very similar. The ones I enjoyed the most were the Tempura Veggie Roll, Peanut Avocado Roll, and the Tempura Sweet Potato Roll. Those three were definitely my favorites. The real star was the Miso Eggplant. I would come back here any day just for that dish. It was unbelievably delicious. I could not stop eating it. Overall this is a great spot for all you can eat, especially if you love appetizers and hot dishes. Amazing servi

Premium AYCE is a great deal! One of the best AYCE places I’ve been to. They have 10 pieces of sashimi per person, special appetizers, ramen, udon, katsu, and more that other places don’t typically offer. The service was fast and the food was fresh. Highly recommend!!!
