Great price for all you can eat. Sushi was average, though. But I was a fan of all the appetizers I got. For this price, I'm not complaining and def recommend. read more

I don't proactively ever have the urge of eating sushi. My idea is that if it's there, I'll go for it. I just moved into the Lincoln Park area and happen to live about 3 blocks from Sushi Para. One of my roommates wanted to get sushi last night and so I went for it. The restaurant in itself is a long narrow room with a see through sushi counter showcasing the raw fish and it's sushi creators. When we arrived we had about a 20 minute wait which wasn't too bad, I expected it...It was a Friday Night. When we were seated the waiter promptly gave us our tally menus to begin choosing the rolls we wanted to order, we chose and waited for those to arrive. I ordered the volcano roll, spicy tuna roll, and shrimp tempura roll. As I stated earlier I don't eat sushi often but I have an idea of what is good, decent, and bad. This sushi is decent. Especially for a 20.00 all you can eat option - definitely a good choice when you're really hungry and need a place to munch. The only thing I wish was better was the timing of our plates. One of my friends received his plates about 10 minutes before we did, he was almost done with his food before we got ours. The great part about this is it's BYOB option - We very much so took advantage of our extra Halloween party beer. I hope to go back again soon. If you're currently dating someone and are at the point where you both are not embarrassed to eat an excessive amount of food in front of each other - go here. read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place was Ok. The pricing is great and I love the BYOB option. But I wouldn't say it's on my top list of Sushi places to go. I only had one roll so maybe the next time I'll have a better experience.... The positives are nice atmosphere, price and customer service. read more

A very casual venue with wooden tables set in a disciplined manner. Surprisingly Very loud on a Friday when we arrived because of a table of fun lovers but that's always ok with me. The All u can eat menu was simple to Understand and the variety vast. Leah our server was beyond wonderful. Super fun and patient without hesitation to give us her favorite rolls upon our request. She had the best personality . The food was insanely fresh . The sashimi just sliced , melted in your mouth . The ratio of the high grade fish to rice was appreciated. The rolls were off the charts You just have to go if u are a sushi lover or even trying for the first time Best miso soup ever !! Crazy affordable. BYOB also !! Thanks Leah!! See u again soon. read more

I've only been to this location once as I usually go to the one in Wicker Park. I find that this one is a little of a tighter space, but the quality and the service was better. I always prefer AYCE sushi over paying per plate because it's already sooo expensive as is. As long as you get 2 special rolls, you've already made your money's worth! Here, the nigiri isn't hella packed with rice to secretly get you full, so I think that's what I appreciated the most about this place. The orders came out pretty fast too so I didn't feel like I got too hangry here. I also liked that they left us with extra sheets to put our orders in for our second rounds and they were god with refilling water! Overall, I like this place and would come back again! read more

Moment when I realized that I know almost all menu items, I also put together that I stop by sushi para II almost every other week. Date - suhi para II, haven't seen a friend for a while - sushi para II, parants in town - sushi para II. LOVE this place. What a great deal is to have alllll of the rolls for fixed priced topped with appetizers and unagi? YAAAAS! read more

Great sushi for the price! Came here for lunch and had the $15.99 AYCE. They seated us right away but it ended up getting busy soon after. The AYCE menu offers an array of sushi pieces and rolls, and even some appetizers. You will out a sheet indicating what you want and then you turn it in to the waiter. 10 minutes later, your food comes out on a plate. They do caution that if you don't eat all of your food, you will be charged for the rest. We started off with some shumai. I was expecting dim sum shumai so I was very surprised. I ordered four rolls and assumed I could eat a lot more since I usually do, but the plate was huge and I could barely finish. The shrimp tempura roll was delicious and comes with tobiko, cucumber, and avocado. Next was the palatine roll, which comes with salmon, eel, avocado and cucumber. The last roll I remember was the spicy tuna roll, which only came with rice and tuna. The fish was very fresh and the value that you get is great. I would compare this to Lawrence FIsh Market. For $20 after tax and tip, I usually can stuff myself with a variety of deluxe rolls if I'm sharing with friends at Lawrence Fish Market. Sushi Para is definitely worth it, especially if you have a big appetite! read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

After hearing my friends ranting and raving about this place, I finally was able to try it when I visited Chicago!! This place is pretty small but it is quaint and cozy. Our server was very friendly and patient with us. We all decided to go with the all-u-can-eat sushi special, which I highly recommend. The deal is about $18.99 and you definitely get your bang for your buck. Here are some of my favs: 1) spider roll 2) green dragon roll 3) shrimp tempura roll 4) potstickers 5) kara age (fried chicken) 6) shiu mai 7) tamago nigiri 8) salmon nigiri It might sound a bit pricey but if you can eat a lot or at least two or three rolls, you definitely will get your money's worth! We stayed for about 2 hours chatting and allowing ourselves to digest before going back for more. The service was awesome and everything came out pretty quick! We never felt rushed or were made to feel guilty for asking for more food. If you can't make it to this location, there are others in the city as well! Check it out! read more

Living off of Clark, there is no shortage of sushi joints; unfortunately most of them do not keep lunch hours and if they do, they're selective. Jerry M and I were looking for a sushi place with a nice lunch special and settled on Sushi Mon. Discovering - on my way to said lunch - that I overlooked the fact they only do lunch on Fri/Sat, we ended up at Sushi Para II. SPII was on our original list of lunch contenders, but not near the top; in the past I've found it immemorable. I had not been to Sushi Para II since they moved upstairs; the new location is nice and roomy, much nicer than their old basement spot. The signage is a little confusing, it's easy to think they're still located in the basement. SPII has three lunch specials; $15.99 AYCE sushi, sushi combos, and a menu of hot dishes, the latter two deals are served with miso soup. There are 4 or 5 different sushi lunch specials ranging from $9-14; they consist of varying combinations of maki and nigiri or sashimi. The maki included in the lunch special is more than your typical spicy tuna and california rolls; as a whole, the sushi lunch special menu is a decent selection of both sashimi/nigiri and maki. I went with the 2 maki special for $8.99, opting for Christmas and spicy salmon rolls. The rolls were well prepared, no issues with them falling apart this go round and they weren't skimpy on the fish or too overloaded with rice. There isn't much of a lunch crowd here, which is nice. We were seated immediately and not rushed through our meal. I'd definitely pop in here again for lunch, plenty of options and a good deal for the price. read more

$16 for a all you can eat sushi is such a great deal. Even though it's all you can eat, the quality of the fish is good. It is not the best I have ever tasted, but I would absolutely come back here for their phenomenal deal. I may never return to this place because of my terrible experience with their customer service. My table of 3 was completely neglected. Orders are placed by checking off items on a menu then handing it off to the waitress. Sounds simple enough, eh? The first round of orders came quickly and was quickly devoured. To my pleasant surprise, the presentation was very visually appealing and everything tasted great! My only complaint was the slight warm temperature of the nigiri. The 2nd and third round of orders took wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long. I am very forgiving of the service during a rush hour but the restaurant was pretty empty. I was enjoying the company of my friends so I was not timing how long it took from placing the order to receiving the food. I imagine it took nearly 30 minutes for the 2nd round of orders to arrive and even longer for the third. We flagged down the waitress twice asking about our order missing order. One of the other waitresses even asked us if we were finished because we were sitting at a sushi-less table. I do not mind spending extra time dining, but I prefer that the extra time spent to be by choice, not from neglect from the staff. Sometime down the road I may return to the Para, and I hope to flip this review more positively when that happens. read more

After the nightmare of finding a cockroach at House of Sushi and Noodles, I have been wary of sushi buffets ever since. When a friend suggested Sushi Para II I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, all you can eat can be exceptionally enticing but on the flipside, the sushi can be below par. Reading the various reviews spun my head, but the pictures looked good so I decided, "Why not?" Why not wasn't a bad idea, but when I got to Sushi Para II, there was no sign directing me to go upstairs. Instead I go directly downstairs down the unshoveled and icy stairwell of DEATH! There at the bottom, I found the lights out and the doors were locked. Oh dear, did I stumble into the wrong place? Luckily a sign on the door in the bottom of the stairwell informed me to use the upstairs entrance, so I had to climb back up the icy stairwell of DEATH. Inside was a quaint sushi restaurant that was not too filled on this cold icy day. I ordered some tea and checked off some things off the menu and noticed that the roll selection was not all too deep with basic nigiri and a degree of maki rolls. The buffet menu had a few appetizers but none seemed too enticing so I ordered squid, shrimp, spicy salmon and octopus. The rolls came out shortly and tasted delicious. The ginger worked its magic and the squid was on point satiating my hunger. The rolls were a bit loose, making them somewhat harder to pick up. I liked everything I tried and the shumai had a bit too much garlic and ginger, but that is the way Japanese shumai tends to be. My great displeasure with Sushi Para II is the excessive amount of rice that arrives with every roll. If I wanted to eat that much rice, I could have just ordered a bowl of rice. Should every piece of nigiri come with a rice ball bigger than the piece of sushi is? Yep, it will save the restaurant some money by overloading on rice, but it will not do anything to impress me as a value proposition. I really felt like they were cheating, adding more weight to the "sushi" when it was actually just more rice. I hereby submit the motion that Sushi Para II now be dubbed Rice Para II. AYE! read more

This place offers a deal for all you can eat sushi for $18.99....my kind of place! Sad to say I was not hungry enough to take advantage of that deal. It was Memorial Day and the rain had just ended. We were starving and craved sushi. Looked inside the downstairs area and it seemed closed, plus the open sign was not lit. We checked upstairs and they were definitely open. Staff showed us to our seat in the back of the restaurant next to the kitchen. We started with the seaweed salad and it was a sgood as any I have had before. I went with the Spicy Tuna Roll along with a piece of white tuna sushi (delicious), tuna (also delicious) and the pepper tuna (decent). Good sushi here and its BYOB! Someday I will come back and take advantage of that amazing deal. I was told you have to eat it all or pay for what you don't eat...don't worry I will destroy every little morsel! read more

This place has cured my sushi fixation. I have waited a few months to write this review, just to see if it would stick, and it has. I no longer want sushi- at all. Whenever I get that craving, I remember the April night my husband and I sat down in this crowded joint and devoured thirty something rolls, plus tempura, miso soup, and warm beer from 7-11 next door. I went home, puked, and have not had sushi since. If you want good sushi go to Paradise on Montrose/California. read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love this place because: 1) All you can eat sushi = sushi boat love; 2) BYOB. 'Nuff said; 3) Cheap but decent for what you pay for (around $22 for dinner, $18 for lunch I believe). It's not the best quality sushi that you'll get in Chicago, but it's good food and a fun and decently priced place to go to with a large group of friends. I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time, and although you may want to go on a sushi ordering spree, be conscientious of the $1 per piece fee that might get inflicted on you if you don't eat everything! I have found that every time I go, I relate very closely to a quote from Louis C.K.: "The meal is not over when I'm full. The meal is over when I hate myself." read more

Consistently a great AYCE sushi place that my friends and I like to go to. For $19.99, this deal is hard to beat. During weekdays, if you come around before 6:30, you should easily be able to grab a table without much of a wait. The menu has a variety of rolls, nigiri, and appetizers. Their grilled squid app is really good the fried scallop is frozen so don't expect it to be high quality but it's decent. They don't have a straight up seaweed salad or crab rangoon appetizer which is a downfall thus the loss of 1 star - these are staples in my opinion. The sushi is pretty consistent minus the fact that the size of the rolls sometimes vary in size depending on who your sushi chef is. But for the most part after my numerous visits here, I can say that for the price, the variety and quality of the rolls are pretty good. They do a good job with the staple rolls and there are a good 20 or so fancier rolls with multiple ingredients. This place is also BYOB! read more

Honestly I'm a fan of this place and found myself back here twice in one week. It's not the best sushi ever but it's decent. The lunch special all you can eat is $17.99 and I believe dinner is $21.99? If you're hungry enough, I find the lunch special to be worth it and it's good enough to satisfy a sushi craving. You can get basic rolls, sashimi, fancy rolls, miso soup, fried scallops, etc etc. The staff is nice too and patient- I know this for certain as I was a bit of an annoying customer the last time I came and placed orders four different times. Oops. But anyway- have had good experiences the two times I've been here and will keep coming back until otherwise. read more

Sushi Para II - Bunch of yum on a plate - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Oh Sushi Para II, you are where I developed my love for sushi. This place has changed quite a bit from when I first came here many years ago. They now are located upstairs from where they used to be in a space that's much nicer and open looking. I most recently came on a Monday evening after work and it was not crowded at all; we were seated right away. If you come here, come here for the all you can eat sushi. At $18.99 (as of yesterday) it's definitely worth it even if you only get a few rolls. While the appetizers aren't the best or the most varied, the rolls on their AYCE menu definitely make up for it. Sushi Para doesn't suffer from the "lots of rice" syndrome or "they all taste the same" affliction that many sushi AYCE restaurants suffer. They had a good fish to rice ratio, and the rolls are flavorful! Service was fairly friendly and quick. I had a question about some of the tuna (I'm not very fish aware and it had a little sheen to it), but the waitress assured me it was freshly delivered that day and even double checked with the chef for me. And once I knew it was fresh I went ahead and ate it. As my friend said, I eat by faith, not by sight. This is not the fanciest place, so don't expect much when it comes to presentation, but the food is good and there's a lot of it (as much as you want with the AYCE!). read more

The good: the $17.99 dinner buffet includes all kinds of sushi rolls, sashimi, and non-sushi items like edamame, dumplings, and spring rolls. Eat to your heart's content! The bad: as you might have guessed, the sushi isn't the best quality, but it's alright. Some of the rolls unraveled at the poke of a chopstick. The ugly: you have to finish everything you order; otherwise you get charged. We completed our task at hand, but not before brainstorming ways to bypass unwanted pieces of sushi, like stuffing it in our (BYOB) beer bottles, "watering" the plants, and unloading in the rr in more sense than one. read more

So it's so straight forward for the AYCE SUSHI And for the people that don't respect private owners they charge them for any extra food you don't eat read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We were excited to come here for all you can eat sushi. It was Valentines Day. Because they don't take reservations, we made sure to call a couple hours ahead as well as 30 minutes before. They told us that they would call us when our table was ready, but they never did. their communication was a dumpster fire. After waiting for about an hour and a half, we were seated. We never felt welcome and we were constantly rushed to get our orders in. It was very uncomfortable to see the two waitresses gossiping about us only a couple feet away. they were obviously understaffed, but the rude and impolite manner of these waitresses was uncomfortable. The sushi is subpar, not anything to write home about. I don't think I'll be dining in anymore. Don't go, youll be practically shoved out the door after eating one piece of sushi. read more

I love the idea of All You Can Eat Sushi, I just didn't like the actual sushi here. There is no point of calling out what rolls I ordered because they all tasted the same. They tasted like rice! I'm not sure if that is typical of all-you-can-eat sushi places or not, but the quality was very low. I'd rather just go to a place with sushi I enjoy and pay per roll. read more

Great for groups and they're accommodating enough, but I would not agree that the sushi is worth $20 per person. I'd much rather go someplace with better sushi and likely pay less than $50 for two people to eat. TONS of rice in the rolls and it seemed like a lot of the ingredients were warm...even the fish. Crossed off the bucket list and likely will not be back. I will say: the best roll was the World Series roll, with salmon and unagi on the outside and tobiko in the middle. Not the best i've had, but certainly order that one if you do eat here! read more

Sushi Para II - Too much rice, lots of fried shell on the shrimp tempura...not great - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sushi Para II is the only AYCE sushi location I have been to in Chicago (the others have been on the East Coast), but I sincerely hope (for the city's sake) that there is better sushi in town... At $20/dinner, it's hard to beat Sushi Para II's prices for AYCE sushi. However, that's pretty much the only good thing I have to say about this place. The rolls are pretty mediocre, but the thing that made this place stand out from the other AYCE places I've been (in a negative way) was the amount of rice they put in all of their rolls! I understand why restaurants add rice to AYCE rolls to fill their customers up faster, but there was so much rice, I barely felt like I was eating sushi anymore. The service was decent (nothing remarkable, pretty slow like a lot of AYCE sushi places), but nothing to complain about in particular. I'll have to try a few other places to gauge what sushi in Chicago is really like, but as of now, I'm not super optimistic. read more

www.sushiparachicago.com They've raised the price of unlimited sushi to $18.99 but it's still a great deal and we got a sushi boat! It's pretty natural for me to go family style but I noticed lots of groups do individual orders. So if you want the sushi boat too, order on one sheet of paper for party of 4-6. Less people, there will be too much food and anything more, you'll have to ask the person closer to the boat to pass some sushi to you. Friday or Saturday during peak hours can get crowded and a line out the door. Despite my reservations were at 6:45pm on a Friday for six, we didn't get seated for 20 minutes which wasn't as bad as the time we made reservations at 8:00pm on a Friday night and didn't get seated until 9:15pm. I was annoyed but if weren't for the promise of unlimited sushi, I would have left. read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi boat - all you can eat sushi (1/22/10) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from an all-you-can-eat sushi place. For $20, you can order anything off the menu, which you would probably spend at least that much at another sushi place for much less food (if you're craving quantity over quality). If you're craving a sushi feast, this is definitely the place to go. Favorites included the godzilla roll, the fried scallops (I LOVED THESE), the american dream roll, and the pop up roll. Service was quick and it was BYOB and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no corking fee. read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Usually when I hear "all you can eat", I think buffet style or all items orders at one time. I was not expecting that you order what you can eat at one time and order again. If you can eat 3 or more maki rolls, then you will get the most bang for your buck here at Sushi Para II. I was surprised that they have non-traditional rolls that you can choose on the menu. The only catch is that if you leave a large amount of rice left behind (meaning that you just eat the sushi and not eat the rice) you will be charged extra for wasting food, luckily I ate everything. At that day, I forgot to bring beer and found out that there is no place near that sells alcohol. Other than that, I love this place. read more

I know that everyone raves about the all-you-can eat sushi. It's definitely good for the price. I LOVE that you can also add some shumai/spring rolls/miso soup with the sushi, too. Great option. However, last Saturday, I ordered the Katsu-don (lightly fried pork cutlet) with egg, over rice. It was delicious and only $6.99 for the lunch special (which lasts until 3pm on Saturdays)! So good. Update: Making reservations here is completely pointless. I made one for 6:30 and, even though my friend was there since 6:00, we all still had to wait until about 7 to be seated! read more

Sushi Para II - rolls galore. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Even though the price ($15.99 Lunch special) may be reasonable, I have been to other ACYE sushi places that taste a lot better than this one. The sush just doesn't taste right. It's bland and unpleasing to the palate. There is no sauce added to the rolls, just simply rice and fish with a lot of vegetables. I felt like I was on a diet by eating the what seemed like veggie rolls. I immediately lost my appetite after my first bite in. Let's just say this was my first time and last time going to Sushi Para II. I was very displeased with one of the waitress because when I found an unclean dish with chunks from the customer before and asked her for a new one, the waitress rolled her eyes. read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

3.5 stars This is not the world's most delicious sushi. They do not fly their fish in from Japan every day. They do not have a koi pond. However, if you're in the mood to throw down sushi, come here! My husband and I used to come here when we were REALLY hungry and in the mood for sushi because fancier/tastier sushi places get very expensive if you actually plan on eating your weight in sushi. Sushi Para II is a very affordable sushi place and the food is decent enough. Go here when you're hungry. Be prepared to wait on Fridays/Saturdays during dinner. Bring some booze since it is BYOB afterall. Also remember, don't be a pig. If you leave anything uneaten, they will charge you for it. My advice is to order a couple rolls, eat them, see how you feel, and then order 1 at a time from there on out, so you're able to eat everything you ordered. read more

This place is the triple threat of crappy restaurants: Terrible service Nasty food Tiny, crowded space In the interest of being somewhat fair, I've only been here once, but it was so awful I will never go back. We had a reservation for a party of ten and they seated us immediately, which was nice. Then we pulled out our wine and beer and it took them no less than 30 minutes to bring us a corkscrew, one glass of water (we had asked for the whole table - were we supposed to share?!), and menus. We put in an order for lots of AYCE sushi, and then we waited. And waited....and waited...... Let me put it this way: we arrived at 7:45pm, and by 10:00pm I had finished nearly an entire bottle of wine out of pure hunger and was ready to eat my arm. Then the food arrived - it was alright, I guess. Lots of mayo, lots of rice. I guess it would be passable if you wanted to literally eat your weight in sushi, but if you actually just enjoy having a couple of rolls you'd be better off somewhere else. read more

15.99 for AYCE made to order sushi? Sign me up!!! My friend and I had been craving sushi for the longest time and decided to satisfy it by coming to this restaurant. We deliberated going to House of Sushi and Noodles, but the area there isn't the prettiest, while this was in LP. We were seated immediately on a Saturday afternoon around 1PM and were excited to start eating. I was so surprised that they served nigiri since that stuff tends to be too expensive to be on a buffet menu. I pretty much tried every roll with my favorites being anything with the shrimp tempura. Everything served was fresh and prepared cleanly, and the buffet menu was a pretty decent size offering quite a few specialty rolls along with normal ones. I would've given this place five stars based off value and taste, but the wait time between our first and second orders was like 20 minutes which was crazy considering our first plate took around 10. Maybe they were trying to get the food in my belly to tell my brain I was getting full so I'd have to pay for the extra pieces left (the last few pieces were a definite struggle). Also, flagging down wait staff in a not so busy restaurant was surprisingly difficult. But overall, great value and deliciousness here. I'll be sure to come back! read more

Sushi Para II - Sushi sushi sushiii - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Always so fresh & reasonably priced! The dinner specials are just as good carried out too.

I keep coming back for the 'Party Tray A.' I feel like it is a great value and the quality of the sushi is consistent. I like the option to try multiple rolls with each order so i'd definitely recommend ordering the party tray, especially if you are ordering for at least a few people. Otherwise, get ready for leftovers! read more

The sushi is pretty good but go at your own peril - you may end up severely food comaed. There is a bit of a wait on the weekends but we were seated pretty quickly after calling ahead. The waitresses were very friendly. They have a regular menu and an AYCE. We were definitely there for the AYCE like most tables around us. The menu has all the standard items - nigiri, appetizers, rolls. My favorite was the salmon nigiri. The rolls were pretty good but over salted. Star deductions for not having a proper seaweed salad (Sai salad was way vinegary) or tamago, the overall saltiness of the food, and the unappetizing spring roll. Besides that, it's a pretty popular place with decent food. Just don't get too greedy. Sushi rice is very filling. read more

This place is great if you want to eat so much sushi that you're hurting because you get charged for not finishing your "all you can eat" order. Whatever you have left over never has cost us more than an additional $5. I'm not going to act like I know what is great sushi, but I can tell you it isn't this place. But it's fine for $20 a head. Great for BYOB and getting all your friends together . Make sure you have all members of your party or you won't be able to sit. read more

I'm always a little skeptical when I hear about AYCE sushi places, since it usually means I will be eating a lot of rice. However, that wasn't the case when I went to Sushi Para II. Rolls are small, but the size makes it easy to order multiple rolls and to sample around. There's a decent amount of fish, but best of all, small amounts of rice! I'm not a fish sommelier, but I thought it was pretty good. The menu offers a good selection of sushi and non sushi items, for the very decent price of $18. The only thing I wouldn't get again is the chicken skewer, which I found too dry and salty. If I lived in Chicago, I'd definitely come again to fix my sushi craving. Insert dad joke: I wonder how Sushi Para I is? read more

Sushi Para II - So many choices... - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is on point!! All you can eat for $18.99 say whaaaatttt?! The all-you-can-eat selection features an excellent variety of rolls and appetizers and the quality of the food is on par with many places that offer the same items for higher prices. I especially like how they cook their Edamame and their ikayaki. My favorite rolls are the Chicago and Pop Up Rolls. A few minor flaws: Our waiter did not seem to be familiar with the menu and fumbled when we asked him about the white fish among a few other questions. It also felt a little bit like we were being rushed out when we'd finished our meal - the person who delivered the check said something hurriedly and took off... Still, this is a great place to come with friends! read more

Sushi Para II - All you can eat! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went there for dinner today. It was quite busy but the service was very fast. We got the all you can eat sushi for $19 per person, which I think is a great deal! I ordered miso soup which was delicious but nothing super special. We also got yaki chicken which was very dry, small, and not very good. The fried scallops were also mediocre. The grilled squid however was delicious and I wish we had room to get seconds of it. We got two rolls - the Chicago roll and the Alaskan roll. I liked the Alaskan roll much better than the Chicago roll because the Chicago roll has a lot of tempura flakes all over it. We ended up scraping off the flakes but even then it tasted very oily. We also ordered a lot of sushi which were all pretty delicious - salmon sushi, squid sushi, octopus sushi, tuna, yellow tail, etc. I think we ordered about 25 sushi pieces between the two of us and that was more enough. After we finished the waitress checked the soy sauce container which was really strange... I guess she thought we would hide sushi we couldn't finish in there since they charge extra for leftovers when you get all you can eat. Overall, great experience. read more

Sushi Para II - Fried scallop, grilled squid, yaki chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Worst sushi I've ever had. House salad and nigiri were both good but someone please tell me why our rolls tasted like old, improperly stored fish. The fishy taste was so bad I couldn't eat more than a piece of each roll and it stayed around until I was able to get ice cream afterwards. read more
