Tried Soon's for the first time last night with some friends. The place is nice, however it is a little disorganized and service is not their specialty. They do however serve up some good quality sushi at fair prices based on quality/quantity but I will elaborate... Upon arrival we had to wait for others to leave as they were reserving half of their restaurant for prom night. Sort of aggravating to stand around for 15 minutes waiting while there were like six empty tables. After finally getting our table we ordered some really basic drinks: 2 beers out of a bottle, 2 sodas, and 1 pomegranate martini. I thought for sure someone was straining the pomegranate juice by hand because these drinks took a solid 10-15minutes before they appeared at our table. Sadly it was not fresh pomegranate, it was just an old bar tender who was preoccupied with the GILF at the bar. We ordered the following to share: sushi for two (love boat type deal) 6 various rolls First off... no soup or salad is included. That is an extra $15 for two orders, so for four of us soup/salad would have cost $30? That is a tad steep... I had high expectations for this place based on feedback from personal friends, Soon's however did not meet those expectations. The restaurant is in a horrible part of town, it's small and cramped, and service was sub-par. Food quality was outstanding and that is the only reason I can give them 3 stars. They need to step up their service, hire a bartender who is not 100 years old and thinks Saturday night is gossip time with the 60+ year old woman with her stuff hanging out. read more

I just rediscovered Soon's and I am so glad I did! This is a little family owned place that has some amazing sushi! They have inventive rolls that are very fresh and they are extremely generous with the portions. My friend and I ordered 4 rolls and couldn't even finish all of them because they were so filling! The dream roll is the best!! I highly recommend Soon's! read more

Soon's Sushi Cafe - Dream Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Nude Roll - Japanese Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Kenosha, for sushi? I was shocked too! This place looks like a hole in the wall, but the proprietors are the cutest couple and they serve up some very generous portions. The rolls are huge. The nigiri is large. Order less than you're used to as not to over-buy. Upon our first trip here, we were offered a sample of the squid salad. Normally we stay away from the chewy foods, but this texture was incredible. On a later trip we ordered it, and (why were we surprised??) the size was bigger than expected, and the taste was also outstanding. Suggestions: - Spicy Yaki Udon w/ Shrimp: spice builds up as eaten, lots of veggies, enough shrimp - Spicy Tuna Roll w/avocado: good level of spice, large roll - Fatty White Tuna = super white tuna - nigiri/sashimi is fresh and generous read more

Was recommended to try out this restaurant. Good sushi but decor dated. Bathrooms need to be redone. Not much money being put into making the restaurant updated. Prices about what to expect for sushi. read more

Absolutely amazing. If Soon was working in a big city she'd be a rich woman. The rolls are out of this world and the best in town - I don't get them from anywhere else anymore. The kitchen menu is also fantastic. Get the Phoenix roll which is a spicy tuna roll topped with a slice of kiwi and fish fly roe. AH-MAZING! read more

Great sushi. I liked the selection. The staff was friendly. The service was prompt. I plan on returning soon. read more

I don't even know where to begin. I've been coming to Soon's sushi cafe for about 6 years now. Every time I come into this establishment I'm treated as if I'm family. I've been to countless sushi restaurants and this is by far the best. Not only do they specialize in succulent sushi but they also have phenomenal items to order from the grill. My favorite would be the Bimbebop. The salad dressing is to die for. It's a ginger dressing served on top of fresh lettuce. My favorite rolls are the spicy tuna/ or crab. East roll, American dream, shrimp tempura, and an eel roll I forgot the name Lol. read more

Terrible place. Awful service, waited 45 minutes for food. Even hot tea was brought out cold! So many other better sushi restaurants. read more

Maybe I'm spoiled but I like to eat sushi in comfortable chair and setting. Not banquet chair from 1970 that is on its last legs and down to nothing but cardboard. It's in need of a serious cleaning and update. I always do the spicy tuna roll test at each sushi restaurant and it failed badly. Very dry. It's not in the best part of Kenosha so I'll probably pass next time someone wants to go. read more

This is a cute, friendly place to come for good sushi. The portions are big and every customer who came in knew the owners. Soon's has a large fan base, I take it. I would certainly come here again. I really liked their Kenosha and Spicy Tuna Roll. Their tempura is good too. They had red bell peppers that were fried and thought that was interesting. Once again, another cute local spot I may frequent again soon. read more

Mediocre sushi. Presentation and serving size is great but the sushi quality itself is not something I'd pay for again. You expect to have the quality and taste of sushi you pay for and that wasn't the case here. This sushi is sub par, just a little better than the sushi you might get at a Chinese buffet. The rice was sticky and not flavored well. I will not be coming here again and am sad that the yelp reviews raved about this place. Like I said, it 'looks' really good, but once you put it in your mouth you're disappointed. read more

Soon's Sushi Cafe - Fabulous presentation with a lack of quality and taste. Sadly. - Japanese Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

The first, the best and the only sushi I'll ever have in Kenosha or the surrounding areas. Bob and Soon are warm, friendly and always eager to help. Sergio is a welcome addition and masterful with fish and a knife. LOVE this place. read more

My favorite sushi joint. You have to go into Chicago and pay twice as much for sushi this good. You would never guess when you pull up that it's such a jem. read more

The best sushi I've ever tasted in any establishment. Truly authentic sushi. Like everyone else is saying the squid salad is awesome. If there's is a crowd, there will be longer wait times. Trust me it is completely worth it, you won't be disappointed. read more

One thing's for sure, Soon's has really good sushi. The maki rolls, of which they have a bunch of varied choices, are mostly quite extravagant with zesty sauces, and tempura flakes, and tobiko and this and that sprinkled or laid or drizzled over the top. It you like simple, traditional maki, they have some of that, but it's the more "fru fru" items that they specialize in. I don't much like the atmosphere. It feels like it should be a storefront of some sort, with the carpeted floors & fluorescents lighting from the drop ceiling. The tables and chairs could use replacing, as well. I've never had the other types of food they serve, so I can't speak to that at all. I'm just coming for the damn good sushi. read more

After a long day of outlet shopping just before my best friend's wedding we stopped at this small mom & pop Korean/Japanese restaurant for lunch. The decor is tacky and the restaurant needs a major facelift. However, surprisingly the quality of the sushi was pretty good. My only complaint abt the sushi was they used frozen red tuna and you can definitely taste the difference. The Korean Pajun wasn't that great either but for it's location definitely not a bad place for lunch. read more

Our first time in we had three rolls, Spicy Tuna, burning fire roll, and Tokyo roll. All were super fresh and delicious! We weren't expecting the burning fire to literally be burning, but it was a cool special effect. We would like to come back to try more read more

Heard so many good things about this place and was excited to try it. Unfortunately, there is nothing good that I can say. I ordered a tempura chicken roll and steak hibachi. The only flavor the hibachi had was of raw mushroom. I usually like mushrooms but this flavored the entire dish, gave it a dirty mushroom taste, and made it inedible to me. The rice was a parboiled fake kind, not the typical sticky rice that is served alongside hibachi. I wish it wouldn't have been so bad. read more

Best sushi in Kenosha. If your looking around for sushi look no further. Fresh and tasty and quick service. read more

Our first time here trying a new place for sushi and hoping for some decent Korean food. I am Korean and my wife is Caucasian but has had plenty of good Korean food and decent sushi. We ordered: -Dolsot bibimbap -Katsu Don -Spider roll -Fire scallop roll First off, we ordered to go (was going to dine in but changed to-go thanks to a VERY antsy baby) and didn't receive any of the extras others wrote about. We were surprised to find that the Dolsot bibimbap didn't have bulgoki meat. Looking back on the menu, it didn't exactly describe bulgoki. A disappointment to authentic bibimbap, in this Korean's opinion. And that was a pathetic attempt at the Dolsot part. I understand the issues in making a Dolsot for carry out but at least try better! I got "Katsu Don" actually thinking it was the earlier "Ton Katsu". My mistake. But what the heck is this dish? It is essentially a glorified, overpriced fried rice. I'm not really a food snob by any means but I could not eat even a quarter of that. We've gotten spider rolls at other places and loved it and were eager to try it here. Terrible. It's edible but not really good at all. Even Woodmans has better Spider rolls and that's saying a lot. And finally the fire scallop rolls. At a hefty 17.95 (probably because there's scallops) I expected a lot better quality. Those had to be canned scallops or something. They were mediocre at best and I think that's even being generous. I'd still give this place another try (just once more but definitely with different menu items. I'm really curious as to what they actually call bulgoki) but Bottom line so far: Overpriced, bad for carry out, not good quality authentic Korean food. In my opinion, you'd find better sushi at Honada, or further in Gurnee. I might consider this "Americanized" Korean food. For decent Korean food, this might just give you enough reason to make a trek to Chicago. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Soon's for about 2 years now, eat at this place at least once a month. It is my favorite little hole in the wall sushi joint. Fish is always fresh and chefs are very skillful in their craft. I usually get sushi but have also eaten hibachi and it is just as high quality. They never compromise on ingredients and service is always very friendly and homey. I would recommend it to first time eaters and enthusiasts alike! read more

Hands down best sushi in Wisconsin, traveling southeastern Wisconsin is my job and I've been to almost every sushi joint. But Soon's hand down is the best sushi joint I've tried and wonderful caring staff as well read more

Über Nom! It's Wisconsin Sushi... meaning it's big, tasty, and affordable. Even with the new limited menu... everything is plump, fresh, and flavorful. read more

We never had raw fish before. So we go to Soon's because we hear its good. It was really good.We ordered some of the rice and fish rolls with sause and some had thin vegatables added to it. We will go back it was really good. read more

Great food and service, all in all a great experience! I highly recommend the hand rolls or any of the specialty rolls. They have earned the reputation for the best sushi joint in southeast Wisconsin for a reason. Can't wait to go back! read more

Horrible service. I had to get my food to go when they couldnt complete my order by closing (waited 2 hours). My girlfriend got her food an hour and a half before me. Food was mediocre. Def WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. read more

BEST SUSHI EVER! Stumbled upon this place by accident and five years later I go every chance I get. Squid salad AMAZING Kenosha roll THE BEST! This is true sushi, they give you a lot of food and I love the Owners! They make you feel right at home. Just remember to ORDER AHEAD because a LOT of people love this place as much as I do! read more

Small, friendly cafe. Prompt service. Favorite spot for a lunch date! Soon's is conveniently located close enough to downtown Kenosha that it won't take you out of your way, but far enough that parking is never difficult. The staff is courteous and accurate when preparing/delivering your order, and the sushi is a very close second to Honada. The food is great! The sushi has a bit... softer texture than most other restaurants. Many of my friends prefer this to the more firm texture I'm fond of, but I still very much enjoyed it. Pricing is about right for most sushi cafes. A little bit more than I'd typically spend at similar places, but not a deal breaker by any means. Overall, I gave Soon's 4/5 stars because even if it's not perfect, I know that I can recommend this establishment to friends and family with confidence, every time. read more

So after the urging of some coworkers and other locals, we tried this place. We were craving sushi but wanted to try a place closer to home and felt like we should patronize a local business. I wish we had just made the trip up to Milwaukee. Service was fine, and we didn't have to wait long. Complimentary salad was fine. Liked the house ginger dressing and that they put radishes in it. Sushi was... meh at best. The smoked salmon single piece was excellent. The rest was not, at all. Scallop tasted fishy and was slimy; the fatty tuna? wasn't and tasted... off. I got the rainbow roll and the fish was fishy tasting and did not seem very fresh, the shrimp was tough and the white fish (tuna?) was again slimy and off-tasting. My husband got the monster roll and after he knocked off the gross toppings, he did eat it all. Also got the alaskan roll which was just kinda... there. Decor was really kitschy and could have been cute, except it all looked dirty and worn down. Not in the best of neighborhoods, but safe enough-they aren't open too late where you'd really worry. I wish I could say good things, I wanted to say good things... but it really was a disappointment and I won't be back :( read more

Pretty food sushi considering the fact that there's not many sushi choices in the area. The people are always sweet. Very close to home. Great for takeout. read more

Some of the most amazing Sushi and noodle dishes you'll find in this area. I usually love just the simple tuna or salmon rolls or tuna or salmon nigiri, but the Wisconsin role at this place is to die for. Crispy cooked salmon with cream cheese in a roll that is then battered and deep-fried at self with Spicy Tuna on top. It's what I order every time I go, just without the spicy tuna but that's because I have really bad acid reflux. Definitely try this place. They may have hours that don't work for some people, but really try to get in there and try a bunch of there different options. read more

Location might be a bit tough to find but once you tried the sushi rolls, you'll agree that it's worth the effort. I've been Soon's customers for at least couple of years, and always pleased with their food (taste good and huge portion) and service. My fave list: Dragon roll (they put big chunk of grilled eel and avocado), spicy tuna roll and chicken negimaki. For appetizer, try their gyoza and yakitori, it's tasty! Oh, and to top it all off, the price is reasonable. I love Soon's Sushi cafe. read more

The first thing to know about Soon's is that it isn't the sort of place that you go for the posh, no-expense-is-too-much atmosphere. The place doesn't look like much (from the outside or inside) but what it lacks in a monster budget it more than makes up for in some of the best sushi you'll find on this side of the pond. Soon herself is a welcoming woman. She's just about the most friendly chef you'll meet in Kenosha, and that kind of friendliness trickles down throughout the staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and as long as you reciprocate you'll find yourself feeling like family in no time. The food itself is top-notch. Being a bonafide sushi-enthusiast, I have yet to try the kitchen food (mostly Asian-inspired dishes). My non-sushi-loving friends swear by it, though, so I'll take their word for it. The sushi is fantastic though. All of the ingredients are fresh and each and every roll is something special in itself. There isn't any dressing up of one roll to make it look like three or four menu items here. Over 30 rolls exist, and each one is a wholly new dish unto itself. As for the best, I'd have to recommend the Dream Roll, for its medley of flavors and aesthetic grandeur, but you can't go wrong at Soon's. read more

Won't give 5 stars cause No place is perfect so ill never give a 5 star rating..... Well I have tried a few Sushi places and I honestly want to say I think this is the best for the price. It's not an expensive high end place I honestly was skeptical from the outside of the place, but a whole different view from the inside. When I came in I was turned on by how friendly and fast the services is. I went there with a few friends we ordered A LOT of sushi I would say close to one of each kind of sushi they had. We walked out with full tummy's and a satisfied visit. Defiantly been going there ever since. Miso Soup was delicious and my favorite is The Dragon Roll (YUMMY) EEL and The Spicy Tuna. Looking forward going back. Good for kids if your kids will eat sushi most won't. read more

This was our first time eating Korean food and we tried the Bimibop. It's basically the most tasty version of "fried" rice I've ever head. Had a few rolls and they were very tasty as well. Definitely will return. read more

My weekly treat in every sense of the word. I come here every Wednesday when I'm in Kenosha for work and they've got my order memorized. The sushi is some of the best I've had and the service is fast and friendly. It's so nice to hear people come in and talk to Soon, the owner, by name. She knows her customers, their kids and their lives and clearly cares a lot. Great homey atmosphere and, bar none, THE best miso soup I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and stop here. read more

This is my favorite restaurant every time I go there I can't believe how good the sushi, soup, tempera is. I've brought people here who don't eat sushi and they always find something that they think is great and nobody regrets going to Soon's Sushi read more
