This place blows my mind. If you are a sushi lover there is no way u cannot make this all-u-can-eat buffet price work to your advantage. This is, so far, the only stomachable sushi buffet I've ever encountered. A well oiled machine where when u order your rolls and the sushi chefs roll it on the spot for you. No guessing games here. The servers here all have interesting personalities, its very entertaining to watch them all. read more

My boyfriend loves this place for their all you can eat, I don't eat sushi so I always get the something with chicken which is always good. The wait staff here is great, they work as a team to take care of tables which is nice. Austin and Kyle are really great at their jobs and are super helpful with suggestions and making sure you're taken care of. So if you're overwhelmed with all of their options just ask and they are sure to suggest something you're happy with! read more

Had a quick lunch here the other day. They offered AYCE lunch but I opted for a regular lunch item. I got the shrimp tempura meal which came with soup, california roll, some steamed rice and some kind of dumpling kinda thing. It was a great deal for the amount of money I spent and tasted pretty good! The service was nice and the atmosphere was pretty good. I would definitely return there. read more

Took whole family to celebrate a birthday, and we ordered the all you can eat. Young woman waitress was nice and helpful. Sushi mediocre at best. Not fresh tasting fish. Will not go back or recommend. read more

Not the best but not worst. Place is dated. Could use an update and the bar is not very big. All one big tiled room so kinda loud. Busy though, fills a need since there aren't many closer options. read more

Not bad, beware the scallops are not real scallops and crab not real crab. Service is a little slow.

The sushi rolls were the worst I have ever had. It was fishy tasting and there were no other flavors in it. I ordered the Fashion roll. When I walked in to pick up my order I was overwhelmed by the fishy smell of the place. It smelled more like a fish market than a restaurant. The woman at the register was not very friendly to me or to others who came in after me. Would not go there again. read more

I was surprised that sushi sooooo good could be so close to home. Such a treat every single time I go here, such quality and value for the price. Can't recommend enough. Staff and selection are great. Spicy 2&1 roll is simply the best read more

First time here. $19/person adult all you can eat sushi buffet. WELL worth it. The food was great, service was a little above ok, nothing special. At other sushi joints we would have been way over $100 for the bill. If you love sushi you need to stop in. read more

This place should be 4.5 stars at least, food is delicious and service is awesome. All you can eat is 20 bucks which is a great deal. House hot sake recommended! read more

Sushi Ya, how about Sushi Na! Our party of 4 went for lunch, what a terrible experience! Took 15 minutes to take our drink order and another 10 to take our order. After another hour of waiting, still had no food. The waiter treated us terribly when we asked how much longer, we were on lunch after all. Rolled his eyes, looked around as he told us that they were extremely busy, walked away and then proceeded to spout off another smarty pants answer as he walked by. When talking to a manager after that, she couldnt have cared less! We ended up walking out! I still wonder how you can have 5 chefs making sushi yet not one table around us had food and were all waiting just as long as we had been! Don't waste your time patronizing a business that has such lack of respect for their customers!! read more

I'm not too sure about the sushi, its probably pretty good. But all I know is Nathan Patrick Quinn is a huge bully that doesnt respeck the ARMY. read more

I have been a customer that looks forward to coming into your location every time I am back from college. But what I witnessed yesterday was absolutely unacceptable. I enjoyed the food, but I witnessed the owner banging her fists on the table by the register in frustration right in front of me. And then when the male waiter was standing next to her, she started screaming at him to help me and my boyfriend. I have witnessed on multiple occasions how the owner treats her employees and I have heard it from other customers and honestly the only reason I come back is because the food is so good. But the owner is HORRIBLE to her employees and if my boss at work treated me that way, I would be filing a lawsuit. Get it together woman, be kind to the people who work so hard for you. read more

The many different sushi options is fabulous and I love the all you can eat sushi for the price, but the servers needs to pay a little more attention to the diners. We waited a long while to have our drink orders filled and to order more sushi. Otherwise it was a great experience read more

I was always afraid to order sushi until I tried Sushi Ya with friends. We all ordered the All You Can Eat, and instead of being stuck with a whole roll of something you might not enjoy, we all shared and it was fabulous! I know now that I pretty much like ALL of it! Very delicious! We have not had the problems with service like some other posters have had. Maybe I've just been there on better nights. Planning my night girl's night outing there this week! Love me some Sushi Ya! read more

To be honest, I was afraid to go here at first due to all the negative reviews about the owner and staff being rude and argumentative, but I was really craving sushi and decided to bite the bullet. I'm so glad I tried it out, not only was the sushi amazing but the lady at the front desk was extremely nice and caring. I didn't call ahead, I just walked in and ordered take out. She helped me and rung up my order instantly. I ended up going with the 2 roll lunch special which comes with miso soup and it was fabulous. Not only was it good, but it was fast as well. I was in and out of there within 10 minutes max, even though there was a few big groups dining in. I'll definitely be coming back here very soon to try the specialty rolls! read more

Let me start by saying I love sushi and its probably one of my favorite foods. I loved the atmosphere and the dining area, but the food was horrible. I had the more expensive all you can eat sushi dinners. I wondered how sushi could have such a cheap "all you can eat" option and I quickly realized it was because it wasn't good sushi. The rice was hard and falling apart before you picked up the piece. I got the spicy spider roll and it comes with a spicy mustard that they didn't even put on, they mistakenly put the eel sauce on it. I kept ordering new rolls thinking the next would taste better, but they only got worse. Honestly I would not go there ever again. I would try other places or not eat sushi again before ever returning. I'd give negative stars. read more

Good all you can eat sushi for lunch and dinner. The staff os really great, the sushi is good, I've had better. If your taking out make sure you call ahead of time, it takes forever to get your food even when you call in ahead of time. read more

I've been here a couple of times. The "all you can eat" deal is good if you can eat more than 3 rolls. Everything is prepared to order. 3 or 4 sushi chefs work the bar. Service is good not great. read more

Awesome AYCE! I love their fried rice!! The sushi is pretty fresh! All the appetizers came out pretty quick. But the sushi took forever, Our servers were all really nice and helpful. But the owner seems a little rude. Seems like all her employees fear her. read more

I feel so ripped off!!! I didn't expect anything super amazing from a strip mall sushi place but I cannot tell you how infuriating it is to pay almost $10.00 for a maki roll filled with imitation crab meat. If you are going to spend the time to create a beautiful looking maki roll why would you fill it with what amounts to cat food on the inside? You guys have this cutesy restaurant with modern decor and you sell FAKE CRAB. Kills me! Sushi is such an art, fraud restaurants like this don't deserve to be in business. If I wanted sub par imitation crab, I would have just stopped into my local Jewel-osco and picked some up from the deli. Joliet has such poor options for dining as it is..... I would gladly pay more for the real thing. It makes me wonder what other corners they are cutting??? When a grocery store chain makes the same food as your restaurant I think it's time to do something different. Super bummed $34.00 wasted and I don't even think I got a receipt so I can say anything about it. Never Again! read more

Sushi Ya - Fake crab roll... Super disappointing. - Japanese Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Can never go wrong eating here for the ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI! It's $14.99 for lunch Monday - Friday & $19.99 for dinner. Huge selection from menu to choose from which includes apps and few entrees. Always leave STUFFED! I'm glad they have servers that are attentive and always checking if anything's needed. You definitely get your money's worth here. Only reason 4 stars is because the yaki soba is not the correct noodles, but still yummy. read more

See all

Nice clean restaurant hidden in a lonely strip mall. They have all you can eat lunch for $14.99 and dinner for $19.99. You save five bucks if you pay in cash FYI. The all you can eat options are basic and the portions are what you would expect but they're not bad. The quality is on point so I would recommend stopping in for a lunch or dinner when you feel like trying a little bit of everything. read more

Fast service today. food was great as always. $20 all you can eat and it is fresh. Always sit at the sushi bar so I can watch and learn.

It's close to home, the atmosphere is very relaxing. My guest was a HUGE fan of the plum wine. The rolls were a fairly good size. And, the price was ok. I would recommend Sushi Ya for a laid back lunch/dinner date. read more

Had my first sushi at this place. Did the all you can eat. The spicy tuna is SO GOOD, my favorite. Everything I tried (all the things on the menu) was so good. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I went here tonight and dined in. We arrived around 5 on a Saturday and beat the rush. We were seated immediately. Unfortunately, it took way too long to get our order in, but that is really my only complaint. My husband did the All You Can Eat Sushi and I did just a Philadelphia roll with some fried rice. All of the food was delicious. We were a bit confused as to who our waiter was. We ended up having three people helping us, some better than others. The food is definitely worth it, and I encourage dining in as opposed to doing take out. Having the food sit for any amount of time makes it not as good as when it is fresh. read more

The sushi always comes out very fresh and delicious! The environment is fantastic and the service is very good. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to get some all you can eat sushi at a great price that tastes delicious! read more

The presentation was good and service was really nice; however, my rolls had so much shell pieces in it I couldn't eat them. My friend's drink was all ice and I had floating pieces in my water. Wouldn't go back. read more

I go here religiously with one of my good friends, and I absolutely love it. The staff is great and the sushi is perfect!!! We love the price and usually make it out sushi ya once a month. Definitely 5 stars read more

Im not a Sushi expert but this place is my favorite spot to go to have a good lunch for a decent price...$14 or so for all you can eat..but be careful if u cant eat it all they will charge u!! Thats my only gripe..the lady who is either the owner or manager is kinda rude in pointing that out...she was even gonna charge my friend that left some rice on her plate! Besides that i like sitting at the bar and watching them make my order...check it out for yourself! read more

This is all you can eat sushi for $19.99 per person. This includes all sushi rolls and appetizers. All is made fresh. You can't beat this value. The food is really very good. It is better than most sushi places I've been. read more

They've updated they're atmosphere, and it's a LOT busier, plus they will 'forget' to tell you when they're out of things they let you order then you never get. This time it took forever for our food to come, we were there 3 hours 2 of those waiting. The foods still really good. But I strongly advise making reservations now. read more

I've been to many sushi restaurants and have to say the sushi here is pretty amazing. Las Vegas roll is perfectly cooked and the volcano rolls are great too. The seaweed salad is by far the best I've had. I gave 4 stars because the service could be better. Slow at serving and had to ask a couple times for certain things. But overall great place. Definitely will recommend to others. read more

This service is very good boss is very fresh sashimi delicious things I really like the store very clean

Been here twice now during my short visit to Joliet. Really good rolls and the ayce menu is more than decent and very nicely priced... Service was very good. read more

We had the all you can eat. The selections to pick from is extensive. The quality was good, varied and satisfying. Really enjoyed it, looking forward to my next visit! read more

You can't really beat the all you can eat for $20 deal for dinner. The sushi is freshly made after you order and the waitstaff are fun and relaxed. They have recently remodeled, which really brought up the quality of the ambiance, good for date night or a meal with friends. Try the Las Vegas roll! read more
