Sushi Station

I took my bf there for just the experience of the food rotating on a platform. Food isn’t too great and is expensive for only 4 or 2 rolls on a plate and does not satisfy my hunger. It’s just fun to go there for the experience.
The waitress I had was really annoying and did not leave us alone and it felt like she was rushing us out the door. I’m for great customer service but it’s also nice to have space and just enjoy your time with people you come with instead of always being asked if we need a refill, the check, if we wanted to order something every 2 minutes. We only stayed there for 10 minutes, that’s how badly she was rushing us to get the check and kick us out. We usually go up to the register to pay ourselves but she did it for us, that’s how I knew she definitely did not like us and wanted us out the door as fast as possible.

I’m visiting from out of town and some coworkers brought me to Sushi Station for lunch today. It was a fun novelty to sit around the sushi conveyor belt and watch the dishes go past. I thought it moved at a good pace. Slow enough to read the descriptions of each dish but fast enough that if you missed something it didn’t take too long to come back around. The quality of the sushi was just passable. There were a lot of spicy rolls, which means that the restaurant is trying to hide the poor quality of the fish. Go here for the experience rather than the food.

Gotta say this is not the first time we ate here and it won’t be the last. Any fan of sushi have got to try this place. It is a revolving belt that goes around the restaurant. Their plates are color coded and priced according to the plate you take from the window. There is also a menu that you can order from if you like but waiting is more fun for most people. There are chopsticks by your table or bar side so you would not need to ask for them. You can also ask for silverware if that is your thing. There is little plates for soy sauce with an option of lighter soy for the people who want less salt. You can also find packets of wasabi by where you sit and a wooden box full of pickled ginger where you can get as much as your heart desires (which no other sushi bars or restaurants will ever do!) The sushi pieces are also the biggest you will see compared to most locations. The staff are very friendly and they split their tip so they do work together. The place could be a little bigger but I guess it’s nice that the manage what they can serve. Overall of all the sushi places we have gone to this is our number one recommended place.

Let me start that they have people waiting even though they have open tables. The waitresses they have there are not on time, even though all they have to get you is a water and a drink. Chefs are good. Sushi is pretty good. But at the end of the meal when you go to pay, you will be asked to tip at the tip jar even if you leave a tip for your waiter. I find that rude.

Honestly, I love this place with all my wits for the food, few of the servers/​hosts (unfortunately) & the low prices. This place has the cheapest sushi anywhere near Schaumburg, IL.
Food: DELICIOUS! Amazing for the price you pay! Occasionally there’s a sushi roll that’s sloppily put together or cold dumplings, which can be annoying but are still delicious. I personally love the pork dumplings, Chicago Fireballs, salmon rolls & Fire Station Rolls.
Prices: There isn’t a cheaper sushi place. Especially not for this quality. Sure, it’s not the greatest & purest sushi you’ve ever eaten but these prices can not be beat.
Staff: There are typically one of two people hosting every time I go there. Both of those women are immensely nice and attentive. My problem is a few of the women at the registers and one of the waitresses. Recently a new waitress was hired. She’s the only Hispanic waitress in the restaurant therefore, she’s caught my attention in the past. The past few times I’ve gone she’s been pushy, mildly rude and quick to rush us or myself out of our seats. This last time she poured water into my glass when I had Sprite, without asking and before my soda was finished. Therefore, I had Sprite-​water. She kept asking if I was done, even while I was eating. That aside; let’s discuss the cashiers. I only have two problems. There’s one lady who I always see at the registers and she never reads back my total or says a word, she just holds out her hand and stares at you blankly until you bust out cash or charge. That’s beyond rude. My number one problem, however, is that they ALWAYS press for a tip. I’m not implying that I don’t tip; I tip when service is good. Gratuity should never be forced or expected. It should be earned.
Bathrooms: There are only single bathrooms and honestly, it makes me anxious because I have this fear that anyone can walk in. However, they’re clean bathrooms.
Restaurant Size: Small. Therefore, the wait can be brutal at this place. If it’s packed; the wait can be anywhere from 25 minutes to an hour.
Additional Notes: Untraditionally, you get up and pay at the registers in this restaurant.

This review is meant as ZERO stars. A meal is so much more than food. It is also the graciousness with which you are served. Do not eat at an establishment that is willing to insult you.
Upon bringing a freshness issue to the attention of the female owner/​manager, we quickly learned that the efficient and friendly service that we had experienced from the waitstaff over the years was really likely a resultant fear of the female owner/​manager. The subsequent food-​born illness we experienced the following day was an odd vindication. It just goes to show you that no matter how much you have patronized an eating establishment, and no matter how much money you have spent, one must never take honor for granted. The female owner/​manager is without honor and without humility. So be it. We shake the proverbial dirt on our slippers from here as the search for honorable sushi in the suburbs continues.

I love this place! Very satisfied the first time I went there. Can’t wait to go back

This place is really nice. Fully staffed for a safe and comfortable feel. There’s a conveyer belt that is completely covered so no germs get on the food. Plates run by your table and are colored for different prices. Fun if your into trying new sushi. Has so many varieties.

This was my first time at a revolving Sushi restaurant. The sushi revolves around the dining room and through the kitchen, and you can grab different plates of 2 – 4 pc sushi; as well as order directly from the waitress. It’s fun!
While it’s not «high sushi», it was fun for me and my son to stop in for lunch, and I think we ate way more than we normally would, because we kept grabbing things off of the conveyor belt. Our favorites were the spicy tuna Phoenix roll and the Wild Tiger special rolls. The Caterpillar roll, while normally a go to, completely fell apart. The prices were really good, and the color of the plates tell you the price.
I would stop in again for lunch, but might find another place if I were a more serious sushi goer.

I’ve had the opportunity to follow Sushi Station since it opened. With how they’ve got things set up, no wonder business boomed! Friendly management, host, and chefs.
Once you’re seated, it’s a free for all. You can choose whatever plate that comes your way, keeping in mind that the color of the plate indicates the price (~1−5 dollars a plate). You can eat $ 5 worth, or ~$ 70 like my family of three adults. SS has udon and other entrees and sushi available a la carte. The red bean mochi dessert is a must! The kids will get a kick out of the small toy vending machines in the front of the store.

Went here for a meeting lunch. This place is a small little gem hidden in front of the Walmart Plaza. It features a carousel of different types of sushi, maki and even speciality items and desserts. I have a tendency to try all different kinds when It is roughly around $ 4 a plate depending on its color. Some plates have bigger rolls or more rolls and the price fluctuates. A good thing to order is the Miso Soup prior to eating sushi.
The only issue that I have with this place is this place does not enough seats so you are sitting elbows to elbows with strangers. Another thing is they are pretty pushy about getting a tip when they rarely serve you as most of it is taken off the carousel. They just bring out your drinks and or anything you order special off the menu. Overall a good place to get sushi and catch up with friends.

I’ve heard it from years ago. Thee conveyor belt sushi in the Midwest. Today, I get the experience the fun and awesomeness of plucking a plate from the conveyor belt without the 12 hour flight to japan.
Yes, there’s that spot in Toronto last time we visited there. But this spot is a bit more of the proper conveyor belt type that you see in japan. I come here and I usually lean towards the nigiri sushi type. The cuts here are pretty good. The fish is definitely fresh and it’s very delish.
If there’s anything you’re wanting that’s hasn’t passed by at all. Just flag down the super attentive attendant and she’ll fetch you the certain something that you’re craving. My fiancé’ and my friend loves the desserts here as well. I happen to enjoy their green tea parfait. That right there is worth coming here and ending your meal with.
The setting is really nice. Strictly down to business type of eating. The service is great, they kept our tables clear of the covers and kept our tea topped off every time it needed it. I enjoyed my dining experience here and would recommend it to anyone who wanna experience conveyor belt sushi in the states.

Amazing food, horrible hours. The food here is delicious, which is why they get two stars. The reason why I’m giving a poor review is because it feels like every time I come here they’re closed. Their hours are constantly changing, people are constantly being disappointed when they go to the doors to eat at their favorite sushi restaurant.
I even looked up their hours before hand, it says they’re open 12 – 9 on Sunday but after driving for 30 minutes and arriving there’s a sign that says their hours are 4 – 9. You’re open for 5 hours on a Sunday?!? Bogus.

Clean place with good service. It’s your typical kaiten-​sushi, so not much explainin’ to do there.
Fish is always fresh– and saba and otoro are my favorites. I love that you can also order sushi directly from the menu as sometimes not every option is on the belt– and these are order made!
Prices are very reasonable and easy to understand– by the color of the plate!
Simple and delicious.

Love this place!
My husband brought 5 rolls home for dinner and each one was more delicious than the last. The flavor a were good, the price reasonable. I really like this place and am sure I will be back. Yum!

I could truly have this place. It literally could be my favorite place to go to everyday for lunch. The food is actually amazing! I could eat the Godzilla roll all day but, but, but the attitudes of everyone that works there is just the crappiest that I ever seen and they don’t really care if you like their attitude or not. I have been going their for 6 months now and I think I have only been treated nicely by one waitress there. At first I always assumed it could have been a racial thing but they treat everyone for the most part like crap… I truly only go there with my co-​worker because they are a big fan of this place but I wouldn’t miss it.

The food is what brings me back. The service is what makes me wish there was a place that offered the same food but better service.
They stand over you your entire meal and ask if your done every second. They even put a sign directly in front of my plate that said what time the kitchen closed. It was so rude that we laughed. If they would let me enjoy my food in peace, I’d enjoy my experience better. I am considering not going back.

I have loved sushi station and frequently eat here. I have been doing so for the past 6 years for lunch as I work close by. Up until the last 8 months, service and the food have been decent. Now, I have had 3 experiences that had turned me off to this restaurant.
Their lunch hours are 11:30 until 2pm, but their kitchen closes at 1:45. However, at 1pm they start pulling everything off the belt and do not add any more sushi. I have added pictures to show this. They claim that it is because they are slow, and would have to throw the sushi away, but they pull the sushi with all the seats full and people waiting.
This has happened 3 times. The third time I ordered from the kitchen as the suggested as soon as I arrived, but the orders took too long and I had to leave to go back to work. Why be open until 2, but sacrifice service and the availability of food at 1pm?
During dinner hours and early in the lunch hour, the waiters push you to leave the table and eat quickly. Many of the dishes with sauce is haphazardly slathered on. The sushi is also inconsistent with some rolls being different sizes and others not having the same amount of ingredients. When I asked the manager about these issues, I was brushed off.
I would not recommend if you arrive at 1pm or later during lunch, or plan to not be rushed.

This place was very interesting, first time going to a restaurant with a conveyor system, and I really liked the concept of it. You get to see the food before you grab it plus the portions on each plate are small so you can try multiple items
The sushi was good, not great, and that is the reason why i gave this place 4 stars instead of 5. Overall the selection was great, to many options. The food was fresh, the staff was friendly, the place was nice and clean. Definitely will come back

I still love this place, the fish taste fresh and the staff is friendly and quick. I like that I don’t have to ask for a refill cause they know yo! I’m in a salmon kick lately and this place is all I know that sell fatty salmon nigiri. It melts in your mouth taste like butter! And I like their hot n spicy scallops nigiri, yum!
I also like their take out. They are polite and quick! I had to contain myself from eating my order in the car… I’m almost home hang in there gurl, lol!
I’ll be back!
