Sushi Train

Food is delicious and the service is pretty good (albeit slightly judgy, like if we want to order several rolls that’s only helping your tip. Don’t make comments). To our surprise, there was happy hour on Saturday 12 – 4! Perfect for Saturday lunch. There always seems to be some sort of special going on there too.
I will be returning, hopefully to a different waitress.

Sushi was pretty good. Service was awful. The lady was rude and rushed us to order. She had a very strong attitude and it was very off putting. Ruined the whole meal for us.

I had a business delay in the area, and outside of the usual chain shite, there was slim pickin’s for eats. A sushi feed always hits the spot, but that can leave a serious hurt on the wallet.
I was surprised to find this place had fine sushi at reasonable prices. It wasn’t CHEAP, but it didn’t melt my Amex, either.
Nothing that I’ve never seen here, and the décor, while pleasant wasn’t the ritz, but an eminently edible feed, all the more surprising for the locale.

Good employees and good food. Not expensive and they always welcome you. Their hours are good

WOW! $ 14??? Had the Tuna Tataki. It was good, but 6 slices of tuna, Avocado, red onion, and Sirracha was $ 14!!! If it were ½ the price, I would order it every day. Not again!

This place was amazing! 5 stars for everything we had! Crab Rangoon was the best I’ve ever had. The Cupid’s Arrow was beautiful & delicious. The 2 in 1 roll was also very good. The Pyramid, a chocolate mouse with molten lava center was decadent.

They have good sushi and good deals on Wednesday and I think Sunday too! I would recommend it to everyone, great for lunch too!

It hit the spot for my sushi craving & was near I55 since I was coming up from Springfield back to Chicago, but I prefer my faves in the city.

Good sushi, poor service, I’ve been here twice and the food is good, better out there but still good, both times same waitress, no smile just rushes you to get out of there. I thought I’d give them a final try and yes most definitely it was my final try.

I don’t get to go to Romeoville a lot, but when I do I stop by at sushi train. This place has phenomenal rolls and I come in on Saturdays for the half off rolls. I get the teriyaki chicken entrée as well which is great. They have a lot more desert options then regular sushi places. Super yummy!

There was no train. No problem — there was good sushi.
We had a collective taste for some sushi, and we wanted to try someplace new. We found Sushi Train on Unilocal,and decided to give it a try.
When you pull up, it’s in a strip mall (not very impressive). However, once you get past the front door, the place is pretty nice inside. It has tables, booths, and a sushi bar, where three sushi masters were very busy.
It took a few minutes (at least 15) for someone to come by for our drink orders. By the time the waitress got there, we were ready to order.
This was a Sunday visit, so the place has their Sunday Special — you order a specialty sushi, and you get a regular order for no cost. We ordered a Rainbow Roll, Bears Roll, Crunchy 2 in 1, and Volcano Rolls, and picked up a Shrimp Tempura roll, spicy Tuna roll, Shrimp Asparagus Roll, and Philladelphia Roll. They were all very tasty. The ginger was fresh (not pink!) and the wasabi was very good.
The beverages (two types of tea, and a beer) were very good.
Downsides: The food took a while to arrive. On the plus side, I never saw the guys behind the sushi bar who were prepping the food slow down or take a break — they were doing a good job making the sushi, and moved with speed and precision. With that said, it was around a 30 to 40 minute wait for the food.
There was wifi available from several sources in the strip mall.
We liked it — we’ll be back.

GREAT food and service!
Restaurant is beautifully decorated.
Entrées are like edible art.
I love coming here.

I was a little worried as I first approached the restaurant since it is inside a nondescript kind of dumpy looking strip mall. Once the door opened into the restaurant I was very presently surprised. I thought the décor was great.
I got a sake flight which was very good. For something different I ordered a mango roll and it was very fresh and tasty. They had a nice selection of specialty rolls.
I also got a spicy salmon roll. I always worry if spicy food will be too spicy for me but this was no problem. Really needed to be more spicy.
Wait staff was very professional and attentive.
For sure go when they have specials like on Wed.

The staff always seems unhappy when a customer walks in. Very curt with few words exchanged and were upset that my party was using a Groupon which we told them about before the meal started. They honored it so I guess that’s cool.
They have good lunch specials and the sushi is decent. Miso is bad. I’m not a fan of fancy rolls in general but of what I’ve had they were good.
I really only come here for lunch. Otherwise, it’s too expensive for the amount and quality.

I typically know better than to trust the Chicago suburbs to serve me delicious — or even adequate, sushi. But I went against my better judgement when it came to Sushi Train, due to a recommendation from a co-​worker to give them a whirl. I had disposable income and an appetite for fresh fish; to phrase it differently, the day had all the fixings of one noteworthy for it’s historically bad decision making.
Okay, so maybe that’s a little bit of hyperbole. Sushi Train is not a historically bad restaurant. Just an average restaurant masquerading as a great one. The décor is quite stunning when you first walk in, very clean, new, and modern. The wait staff and chef’s all look professional, to their credit, although the service was what I would consider less than attentive, and far from welcoming.
I came in to order one of their lunch specials, which I figured would give me a preview of what they had to offer while not breaking the bank. I chose the special that came with salad, miso soup, and my choice of three maki rolls from a pre-​selected list of maybe around a dozen of their normal maki rolls. I chose only one that had mayo, despite it being a guilty pleasure of mine, one with salmon, and one with spicy crab meat.
The salmon was the only one I didn’t find utterly disappointing. The spicy crab roll was not spicy in the slightest, and honestly, tasted like it had been cooked in some sort of odd mayo that made it more sweet than spicy. It wasn’t necessarily a bad taste, just not what I had expected. The mayo, cucumber, and avocado was completely dominated by the avocado, which likely would not disappoint most people, but I was hoping for a better balance with the ingredients, and believe it would have done well with less avocado. I assume the blame for this order, because I knew this was one possible outcome, but it was disappointing all the same. Otherwise, I thought the salmon was quite delicious.
I don’t think I would come back to this joint due to the less than impressive state of the crab, the steep prices for food not included in the lunch special, and the substandard level of service. I place a high value on good service, and I feel it is appropriate to dock a full star when it is notably bad; which it most certainly was at Sushi Train. I’d gladly drive to Naperville if it meant good crab and better service. I think next time I will.

Went there after Groupon coupon acquired. The food was good, with a rainbow roll and chraschi don. Well presented, but not at the same time. My wife waited an additional 10 minutes. But since e food is not served hot, I didn’t mind waiting.
What WAS disconcerting, was the male server standing over us, with arms crossed and expressionless, the whole time. I mean like 3 feet away from the table!
He pounced when ever there was a need of some sort. I mean, I like attentive service but this was just too much!

A little disclaimer. They no longer have Friday drink specials. Their website must be ancient, because when we asked they said that they got rid of that a long time ago. I ended up getting water just out of the principal of it.
The sushi was SO good, although I think that a re-​branding should be in the works. Calling a place «Sushi Train» after removing the conveyer belt seems silly to me, but what do I know? Don’t judge the place by the misidentified name because we all really enjoyed our food. My husband wasn’t in a sushi mood (*gasp* as if that’s EVER possible) and went for the Pork Katsu. I tried to keep stealing more and more of it. It was good enough to be willing to give up a few bites of my sushi.
Our friends we were with ordered 4 or 5 rolls and I got to try a few of theirs and really enjoyed everything, even ones that I wouldn’t normally order myself.
We were one of the few couples in here on a Friday night, but it was fine because our server was really attentive. I’ll make the trip out to Romeoville more often just for a stop at Sushi Train… toot toot.

This place is great. I love sushi!!! We should all love sushi, and I mean the real sushi not this americanized version of sushi with California and Sweet potato rolls. Those are okay, but if you only go to a sushi place and only eat those rolls then you aren’t a sushi lover… okay sorry about my rant there.
This place has some great specialty rolls but the sashimi is the best. I know people say that what is the big deal it is raw fish. But it is the quality of the fish and the knife skill of the chef, and this place gets an A+ for both.
The specials could be better and the waitstaff was the greatest, they weren’t bad just wasn’t as friendly as they could be on a Sunday afternoon. That is why the 4 stars

I give this restuarant 3.5 stars.
Went there last night. Got:
2 hamachi sashimi
2 ika sashimi
2 ikura nigiri with quail eggs on top
2 saba sashimi
2 other rolls
and a terriyaki salmon for my 2 yr old son.
Finished with a green tea ice cream for my son but I ended up eating the entire thing.
Pro:
Chefs were extremely generous and added 2 extra pieces of hamachi sashimi which were quite fresh as well as an extra ika sashimi. Thank you!
Con:
Salmon terriyaki was not very tender. It was so thin that when they grilled it, it became crunchy and dry. My son wasn’t a big fan which was crap because I ended eating it— forced myself to eat that while it was drowned with terriyaki sauce. (not a big fan of terriyaki sauce)
Ok, so I always order ikura with quail eggs on top whenever I go to any sushi resturant. I’ve never had a place charge me $ 1.50 per quail egg for each nigiri. It’s usually an extra .50 or so. So I’m a little bummed by that.
Everything else was pretty good. No complaints. My son, as usual, loves LOVES the unagi and avocado roll so as soon as that came out he gave me that gesture of «get that salmon crap away from me».
Overall, it’s not the best I’ve eaten but it was alright.
I honestly would prefer Aodoake Hibachi and Grill over this place. They are wayyy more accommodating.

I came expecting the same conveyor belt type meal I enjoyed in Tokyo years ago. They shut that down two years ago… too bad.
Rolls:
Godzilla — 3.5
Decent as expected.
Dragon on Fire — 5
This roll takes 20 or so minutes because they first make the tempura shrimp then bake the roll. It comes on tin foil nice and hot. Eel on the outside with a rainbow of mayonnaise spicy sauces. This was a delight to eat.
Drinks:
They have a $ 4 martini cocktail special every day. Don’t be confused though, ALL they’re cocktails are $ 4 everyday not just the one on special. Our favorite was the mango. These come loaded with alcohol, expect a buzz.
Service:
They definitely don’t come around to see how you’re doing very often however they serve the sushi you order as soon as it’s done which I like. Our godizlla roll came in 5 minutes, FAST! and the dragon on fire 15 minutes later. Get some miso or two quick to make rolls to bide your time.
Overall I thought the place was preety average but had some standouts. I will come back to get the dragon on fire roll for carry out guaranteed.
