Loved that this place is AYCE for $20. The edamame was a classic I had to order and I devoured it. I always like it with a lot of salt so I had to ask for the shaker because it wasn't on the table. The spicy california roll was good. I also tried the hibachi chicken and teriyaki chicken. The hibachi comes with rice and veggies so that's nice. My company really enjoyed the fried rice. read more

All you can eat sushi? Yes please! The staff is fast and attentive, they are fast to deliver your next order. The sushi is good without being great, but for the price you can't complain. And the menu is surprisingly extensive with everything from soups to desserts - and all for a single price. read more

Our airbnb host recommended this place. It was quite packed on a week day night and thought it should be ok. We are very particular about raw sushi and never had ACYE before. We prefer omakase but this isn't available in this part of WI. Upon looking at its menu, it turned out their sushi were made with imitation crab, salmon, tuna, or shrimp as a foundation. Then, they added various sauces, veggies toppings, and called different rolls with catchy names. We ate several rolls and appetizers. Unfortunately, we both had massive diarrhea 20 minutes after eating and went a few more times throughout the night. It was bad, and we had no intention of returning. read more

Always a good time here. Good quick staff. All you can eat sushi! And it's actually decent sushi, not low tiered ingredients by any means. Do have large and small tables for large and small groups. More dimly lit, street parking. Have tried several of the rolls and really not too much complain about but if wanted to nitpick, some of the rolls were not as tightly rolled therefore they would fall apart, but nothing crazy. Apps were okay, nothing special. Will say, not a fan of their fried rice. Have gotten it 2 separate times now and it's very bland, but it's part of the all you can eat so not a big issue. Will be back, happy eating! read more

Good sushi. I think we got all you can eat??? But I don't think it's required for dine in anymore. Service was good, friendly people.

Okay no idea how I haven't reviewed this place yet but I love their sushi it makes me so happy!! And the best thing is they're always fast no matter how busy they are (except for one time but I forgive them). ONLY GET LUNCH DEAL it's like $18 vs $29 or something for all you can eat sushi, dinner isn't nearly as worth it atp go to Akame. Everything on sushi lovers menu is so good and easillyyyyy a regular at this place The dining experience is also really good the building is nice and clean and overall super chill place to spend over an hour at. Seats are comfy and everything ofc read more

Food quality is beyond Green Bay, WI location. Service was decent, waitress was cordial and food came in a timely manner. The layout permits some privacy between tables. Great experience! read more

Very disappointing. I came here on a whim and, frankly, it was pretty gross. I tried about 8 different rolls and none were anything spectacular and most were very bland. Most of the people in my party stopped eating after the first order because it was just that unappetizing. Furthermore, we were brought the wrong food multiple times, and service was not great. As someone who usually goes to high end sushi restaurants, this did not even compare. Even with all you can eat, the prices are quite expensive and I paid just as much as I would going to a nicer place. Absolutely not worth it. read more

The sushi was very thin with a lot of rice , and it took forever to get the foods . Sure it's 'all you can eat ', but they like to pound you with rice and serve as little fish as possible and make you wait . It's a once in a lifetime experience for me at this place ! read more

I've been here only a few times, but I've never walked out disappointed or hungry. The people are friendly and helpful, the place is clean and has a nice decor, and the tables and seats are well taken care of. The way they do the all-you-can-eat menu is unique, but in a way that's more novel than confusing. And the food has always been fresh and tasty. Plus, if you want some hot sake or cold beer with your meal, they have you covered. Just don't order enough that you end up with a big pile of leftovers, because there will be an extra charge. Eat what you take, and there's no worries. read more

Portions are very small but it was cheap prices. The host girl was very rude and took a phone order over the middle of my order, should be first come first served. A nicer server took over and made my experience way better of their service. read more

Sushi Lover - Rainbow & a a do roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

I loved this restaurant as much as I loved Appleton, WI. My fiancé and I took the drive from Chicago to explore little towns in Wisconsin and decided to try this place for dinner. The place was beyond packed when we first walked in, but all tables were 6ft (even more) apart and the entire staff were wearing masks and constantly disinfecting tables. It was a long wait unfortunately due to the limited capacity but it was well worth it. You can either ask for a paper menu or if you want to be extra COVID cautious, you have the option to scan the menu barcode and use your phone. The menu is extensive and they have some really good and appetizing rolls, however, the AYCE option would be the best bet for your money. The fiancé and I chose the AYCE option and ended up ordering one of each of their specialty rolls along with a few appetizers. There was a bit of a wait on the food but that's understandable considering it was a Saturday night. Our waitress was delightful and checked up on us every once in a while to make sure we were doing okay. The roll were delicious, fresh with really nothing to complain about. I highly recommend this place if you're ever in the Appleton, WI area. Till next time! read more

The food was amazing! The service was fast and efficient. Everything was so good and staff really were nice and made us feel welcome

I eat here at least once a month and always have a positive experience. While the furniture isn't the nicest, staff is always friendly and helpful. The quality of the food is great for AYCE and the appetizers are one of my favorite categories to order from. read more

Sushi Lover - Shrimp Sushi, Salmon Sushi, and Snow Crab Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Had this delivered via Door Dash while visiting the area and it was great. Great prices and food was on time. I had the Godzilla roll, the tuna appetizer and a green salad. The appetizer really exceeded my expectations. I will try again when in the area. Just be sure to ask for extra sauce and utensils if needed. read more

Went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the service and prices. I'm used to paying $18-25 for one speciality roll so to get ayce for just $16.99 was great The sushi was good, wish we could've tried even more but we were way too full. I love that they also have appetizers and entrees on the ayce menu. read more

Sushi Lover - a plate of sushi on a table - Sushi Bars Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

My friend Joshua Thao works here. Pretty good place...BUT I didn't get Discount :( but the foods is good

Decided to come here last minute. Did not know it was an all you can eat sushi spot. The price was really good for the quality of the food. The sushi was delicious! We are definitely coming back the service was fenomenal! They are so attentive and the food comes out really fast. The ambiance is very calming and it feels very private with the lighting. read more

Very good sushi and our waitress was so nice. Unfortunately the only option for dine-in is all you can eat which is a little pricey if you're just there for a few rolls. The edamame was good and we were hungry enough for a few rolls each. The wine was cheap (price and taste) but definitely did the trick for what we were looking for. at $18 a bottle it was just fine :) read more

Great service. The appetizers are very good. However I wasn't a big fan of the sushi as I found it to be a bit salty and not too fresh either. But they do have an extensive (not just sushi) all you can eat menu - so, you definitely have a big list to choose from. I'd recommend. read more

Came here because we enjoy the one in Green Bay very much! It looks very similar in the inside. Nicely updated. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient. They opened at 430pm for dining and we got there about 445pm, it was already quite busy on a Tuesday evening ! Had the crab Rangoon- light and crispy. Crazy roll, Wisconsin roll, and sushi lover roll. Also shared some fried rice (not the greatest but ok). All the rolls were absolutely delicious but they are on the smaller side. This is due to it being all you can eat. For $22.95 this is an awesome place to go where you can get a variety of different things ! All different types of sushi, appetizers, hibachi, etc! Great deal and fun experience. read more

One of the worst dining experiences. One person in the party ordered the all you can eat option forcing everyone else in the party to do as well. 18% gratuity added to bill which is illegal. I couldn't even make it through the meal as I became violently ill, layer to find out it was food poisoning. Staff were ill suited for the tasks they were performing, clearly good help is hard to find. read more

Been there twice since opening. Everything comes out pretty quick and the waitstaff is good, despite being very busy. read more

We tried out the new Appleton location and it didn't disappoint. We love the Green Bay one and the Appleton is almost identical. The set up and decorations are the same. They have great food and is all you can eat. I like that it's a "buffet" but you order what you want and the server brings it to you so everything is fresh. There is a QR code digital menu for COVID that you read on your phone. Guests are encouraged not to waste food and there are notes on their website that you will be charged for wasting. The servers are wonderful and attentive. My favorite go to place in the area! read more

I ordered takeout today. I got a salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, Philly roll, and Snow White roll. While eating my Snow White roll, I bit into a hard, clear piece of plastic. Not sure how that happens, but additional safety training for employees is needed. read more

You get what you pay for. It's fun that it's all you can eat and they have an interesting variety of sushi, but as with the case with a lot of AYCE the quality isn't great. I had to ask for wasabi and ginger, and the fish definitely wasn't fresh. Some of the rolls fell apart as you ate them. Decent food if you're not expecting amazing quality! read more

Great food overall. My only issue is the sushi rolls are much smaller then most other places

Tasty food (sushi, hibachi, grill), good variety to choose from. Could do better at cleaning-- especially the bathrooms!

Food is fresh!! Service is great!! And every thing is clean. Been to both and go back to either often.

Our family likes sushi, so we had to try out this "buffet" - order anything on the menu and they bring it to you, just don't over-order (leave a lot of food uneaten) or you will pay extra (which I think is a good policy - too much food gets wasted at restaurants). You even get to try things like eel and octopus! The waiters/waitresses and busboys keep VERY busy serving the tables; we never really had to wait that long for the next orders, which was surprising because of how busy it was there (no reservations, BTW - get there earlier on weekends). We enjoyed all the different sushi, salads, appetizers and grilled items - well worth the $25/person for dinner. And we got a special surprise because of our son's birthday (and it wasn't the wait staff singing Happy Birthday, thankfully). If you like Japanese food, you will love this place! read more

Great all you can eat sushi at a good price! The AYCE includes nigiri, special rolls, and appetizers.

My boyfriend and I came here for "all you can eat sushi" we loved it! Sushi was great and so was the service! You definitely get your money's worth here! Loved it! We will be back! read more

This sushi place is the peak staple of slow. I ordered an hour ahead to avoid await and was shocked when the woman told me it would only be 10 minutes. Little did I know I would proceed to wait an hour and a half on a bench inside. The sushi place inside seems like it's nice but was very crammed. I wait too long for this sushi and I am beyond pissed. read more

My wife had the rainbow roll (her favorite), a Philly (quite good), and a California roll. My daughter had a monkey roll (odd but she loved it) and shared the California roll. I had a vegetable tempura order (good but they should put a hole in the foam box because condensation made it a little soggy), avocado roll (very good), and a cucumber salad (did not eat). The lower score is because the cucumber salad had fake crab on it, which was not listed on the menu, and I'm a vegetarian. read more

Honestly the best AYCE sushi in the Fox Valley. Food is delicious and hits the spot every time. A must try is the habachi steak, that's where the money is!!! read more

Was a huge fan, but the more I go, the worse the waitstaff seems to get. The food is consistently good which is why I still go back. The last waitress we had forgot many things during our visit. Other staff was picking up her slack. In order to get more to drink, we had to flag her down even though she was tending to only a couple other tables. Again, this isn't the first time. Waitstaff here seems to have no motivation. read more

Friendly staff, great food and clean restaurant. The sushi was ver fresh and a good selection. Dinner menu seems to have an even larger selection. read more

I came in Monday night for dinner and there were a lot of problems. First off, be sure you read the pricing info on the menu. $27.00 for AYCE sushi seems really steep for what we got. We discovered too late that there was no a la carte option for those who want a smaller meal. But, we decided to stay and try it out. Shrimp Tempura did not at all resemble actual tempura. Seemed to be some kind of cornmeal crust on it? Very strange. Then ordered a few different fish items, salmon, eel, white tuna, and tamago. The fish didn't taste really bad or anything, but fresh, sticky rice is an important part of good sushi and this rice was just wrong. Kind of stiff and crumbly, I'm guessing maybe it was pre-formed into little balls too far ahead of time? Or maybe it was the wrong kind of rice? We cut our losses and left at this point, feeling pretty ripped off. read more

It's the worst sushi I have a see in my life. I came yesterday 9.10 pm The there was the worst hosting ever. The food look like was freezing over and over again don't even try to go there read more
