Sushi Ya

This is my first time in Schaumburg, but not my first time at a sushi spot. So I was looking for good quality of the food, customer service, and atmosphere. Overall, this is a success for me. The food was made right away, the taste was great, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Okay so I was walking into this place with no high expectations. From the outside you would never guess this place is AMAZING! The customer service was amazing so nice and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious! With such amazing flavor. They had so much variety. Everyone needs to check this place out!!!

I thought that this was the same place as another Sushi Ya I have been to in Idaho. I thought they were a chain. I came here for all you can eat sushi which the other place had but this one did not. The sushi was ok, nothing amazing, but I was more disappointed that it wasn’t the same Sushi Ya I’ve been to before.

I just recently tried this place for this first time, and I have no complaints. I did not have the chance to try their sushi, and am definitely looking forward to it, but in the meantime, their appetizers are really well made and fresh!

Excellent service, organized and fast, very welcoming, always refilling the water, complementary miso soup, edamame, and watermelon! Very tasty sushi that came out at different times allowing you to enjoy every roll. I highly recommend the chicken skewers as an appetizer. You can’t go wrong here! I will definitely be back.

Went here for dinner yesterday with a girlfriend. Food was good, but not only did they double charge my girlfriend, but double charged me as well. We called after we left and were told they were too busy and we needed to call back later. I called this morning and argued with 3 separate employees, and was told they didn’t charge me twice, although the amount in my bank account and my statement says otherwise. They did not care to help or refund either of us, after arguing with them for 15 minutes over the phone, so I am now dealing with my bank to have charges reversed. Great customer service guys! Over $ 22.60! I will NOT be coming back here or recommending this place to anyone!

Ate here the other night with a friend. Ordered a fire crunch roll which is my favorite and a schaumburg roll. Service is amazing here and the owners are so nice. Looking forward to my next visit!

The service is not what it used to be. All the sweet, older ladies are gone and replaced with young men who seem frazzled. The service here was impeccable in years past. Those ladies ran it like a machine. This time, a Friday night at 7:30, we sat and sat waiting for our order to be taken and then again waiting for our miso and edamame. Of course then everything arrived at once and it was overwhelming. Our table was an afterthought to them and only when we made eye contact we could hope to lure one over. Sushi was still pretty good, one of our special rolls was very sloppily rolled and was falling apart. This was our go-​to restaurant but no more.

Sushi Ya is just awesome. Not only is the sushi incredibly fresh, delicious, and inventive but their staff is also so great with children that it almost makes dinner out with little ones carefree. I said almost.
The interior is clean and straightforward albeit on the small side. Thus, know that you may have to wait for a table if you pop by any time after 6pm. Back to the staff — they are so sweet and accommodating. When my husband and I bring the kiddos for a 5pm dinner they almost immediately bring out the kiddie cups and kid friendly plasticware to go along with the rushed edamame. One thing to note: no milk here. Hang with the H20!
For the kids (my kids are 17 months and 3 yrs), the chicken fried rice comes out in fresh, huge portions that leaves plenty for leftovers. For hubs and I, their specialty rolls and really any nigiri or sashimi have been perfection. Some faves include: tropical roll, white dragon, godzilla, hellboy. I typically ask for light rice on the rolls to really focus on the fish!
I’m so glad there’s a local spot where I can piledrive fresh sushi while watching my kids enjoy a delicious meal on their own. Thanks for being so great, Sushi Ya. See you soon.

This place is great! I was having an auto start installed in my car and I had lunch here– it was awesome! I highly recommend it!!!
I had Bento box lunch.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews — this place is, without a doubt, one of the friendliest, tastiest sushi bars around.
Some people would know good hospitality if it hit them in the face, but Sushi Ya is so polite and gracious that I’d be hard-​pressed to find a complaint in the dozens of times I’ve eaten here. I always forget we get complimentary dining-​in edamame and miso, and it’s a pleasant surprise to remember.
The Avocado Torch is my absolute favorite, but if you’re opting for healthier options, try the Four Seasons or sashimi lunch specials. Pair it with a sake and you’re on your way to cozy.

This place is really small so making a reservation is probably a good idea. We had a party of 5, 4 adults one one child. We ordered pretty much a little of everything. Everything we had was very good, not a single complaint about the food or service.
The total bill was a little over $ 100, which isn’t bad at all. The staff were all very polite and friendly. Being a smaller «cozy» place this would be a good date night destination, not so much for a big group of friends as you might feel a little claustrophobic.

Best Agedashi Tofu in the area. It is a lovely pairing for your sushi meal It is a LARGE portion though, definitely plan on splitting if you want room for fish. (No, they do not offer half portions — I have asked.)
As the other reviewers point out — the entire sushi selection is delicious. I have had almost every special roll — each is amazing!

This was one of the most amazing sushi experiences I have ever had the staff was amazing and polite … And the food is phenomenal

I’ve been meaning to update but haven’t had the courage or because I throw up in my mouth just thinking about it.
My husband and I were driving back 9 hours from a long car trip from visiting family and all we wanted was some light maki rolls for dinner to pick up on our way home which was close by.
So we pick them up. I’m thrilled especially after eating heavy holiday food. We get home, put our sweet son to bed, sit down and dig in. As soon as I pick up a roll I look into the Styrofoam container, there is A DEAD FLY UNDERNEATH MY MAKI ROLL. APPETITE GONE! FINISHED!
No use in calling, they are closed. So we won’t be going back there.

I can honestly say I have always had wonderful sushi here. It tastes fresh, never a sour fish! You know, sour, like those places where you almost can’t eat a certain roll since it tastes like its gone bad? This place is the complete opposite, where everything tastes so good that you always want more! Even when you get full, you are still wondering if you can fit just one more bite in.
I had been losing hope in the suburbs for good sushi, but this place definitely impressed me with the good flavor and freshness of their food. They also bring complimentary miso soup and edamame when you sit down to eat. Nice touch. They have a very large selection of sushi, so there is something for everyone. I don’t think I have had a bad roll here yet.
Another thing to note is that the sushi is so good that you can actually enjoy it without the ‘wasabi’ slurry with soy sauce. The fish tastes good here, flavorful… you will not find that in many other places! You know you are having good sushi when you can enjoy it without the soy sauce completely! I will note though: the wasabi here is very good and fresh, you will get a very pleasant zing if you use it :)
Main complaints are that the location is just too small. You will almost always have to wait to be seated and it is super cramped with tables on top of each other. I have had to wait and hour or more to have food come out. Those are really my only complaints, the servers are nice, they feel bad about the waits, but there is nothing they can really do about it.
Good food, good service, most likely bad wait times.

The food here is amazing, massive selection of sushi rolls, also complimentary edamame and miso soup
Service was good, staff was very nice, very attentive. Place is a little small, but overall the atmosphere is great
Want to fulfill your sushi craving? This is the place to go to.

Spent over $ 50 on dinner and they charge for Sirachia hot sauce, Seriously who does that?
The place is so small I felt like a sardine in a box, the seats are made for very tiny people. Can not accommodate a large group or even a nice size family.
The restroom is in a very awkward location right next to dining room table. Awkward.
Waitress was not fluent in English and rather rude. She insisted on removing our dishes before we finished. Felt very rushed, hence the inadequate dining space.
Won’t be back.

Haven’t been here in a while, and I miss my sushi ya! this is my number one place for BFF SUSHI night
(Schaumburg IL) cozy little place, clean, and pretty generous with the sushi.

Even though i only checked in once I’ve been here plenty of times and will continue to be a regular
–small, nice, and quaint setting, sits about 30 – 40 people comfortably
–service is great, always greeted with a smile and the staff is very attentive, and food is prepared relatively fast even when the place is full
–every roll and piece of sushi I’ve eaten here is fresh and presented well, especially with sushi it is an acquired taste but even if you are picky with you’re sushi you will enjoy the food
–i haven’t tried the dinner entrees (yet) but from everyone’s reaction i can tell it is worth a try
Overall this is a great option of you’re in the area, i usually come here to satisfy my sushi cravings especially during the lunch special hour which is a pretty good deal as well considering all the food you get when compared to other similar places around. Definitely come here and see for yourself!
