Sakana AYCE Sushi Buffet is an excellent spot for fresh, high-quality sushi and a great overall dining experience. The selection is extensive, everything was well-prepared, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. What truly made our visit stand out was the wonderful service from our server, Mia. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the entire meal. Her positive attitude really elevated the experience. Highly recommend Sakana for anyone looking for great sushi and exceptional service. See pictures below for reference.

Heard great things about a new AYCE in the neighborhood so I had to check it out. The 10pc sashimi per person is really what drew me to this place. The quality was decent but pieces seemed quite small, which I guess is fair since it is at an AYCE. Nigiri was disappointing as fish to rice ratio was not great. Seemed like 90% rice and 10% fish.. and that varied depending on the fish. The salmon was probably the best fish on their menu.
Ordered one of everything from their premium selections except the avocado salad. They’re alright. Nothing impressive.
I also tried the soups: miso, udon, and ramen. Miso and ramen were good, but udon lacked flavor. Same goes for the stir fried udon. The bacon emojis was really good! Greasy but good. Tempura was decent. Wings were so disappointing. They were not marinated and bland, and the batter was bland as well.. I guess that’s why they give you sauce to eat it with.
The star of the show tonight was their teriyaki beef. Omg the meat was sooo tender and flavorful. Like am I really at an AYCE sushi place or a regular Japanese restaurant? We ordered 3 more after we tasted the first round. The salmon and squid teriyaki was good too!
Overall, I’d come back for the sashimi, ramen, and teriyaki.

Amazing premium AYCE in the south Loop! Came in on a Sunday & enjoyed the fresh & delcious apps, rolls & sashimi. Nice variety of options. Fast & friendly service (thanks Lulu!) in a cool Japanese themed decor booth with great music too!

I came here for the all you can eat menu and the staff was absolutely incredible. They were so kind, attentive, and quick with everything. We ordered Veggie Gyoza, Veggie Harumaki, Vegetable Fried Udon Noodle, Veggie Tempura, Edamame, Miso Eggplant, and a variety of veggie sushi.
For veggie sushi I felt like there were not too many variations. A lot of them tasted very similar. The ones I enjoyed the most were the Tempura Veggie Roll, Peanut Avocado Roll, and the Tempura Sweet Potato Roll. Those three were definitely my favorites.
The real star was the Miso Eggplant. I would come back here any day just for that dish. It was unbelievably delicious. I could not stop eating it.
Overall this is a great spot for all you can eat, especially if you love appetizers and hot dishes. Amazing service and great experience.

Premium AYCE is a great deal! One of the best AYCE places I’ve been to. They have 10 pieces of sashimi per person, special appetizers, ramen, udon, katsu, and more that other places don’t typically offer. The service was fast and the food was fresh. Highly recommend!!!

There’s a wide variety of options, but what really surprised me was how good some of the individual dishes were—not just quantity for a buffet. The tuna tartare was fresh and well-seasoned, and the teriyaki meats were cooked nicely with a good balance of flavor. Overall, it felt like a buffet with real standout items, which definitely exceeded my expectations.

Sakana is a South Loop gem! I came here on a cold December afternoon for all you can eat (ayce) sushi. The environment is chill, waitstaff very attentive and kind (Mariah and Lulu are the best). The best surprises are anything with salmon, the bagel roll (warm, savory, sweet) and bacon-wrapped enoki. They also had free red bean ice cream at the end, without the whipped cream that so many places are too fond of adding. Excellent place to enjoy a great meal!

4 stars, but I’d give it 3.5 due to service
went got AYCE on a Friday evening
AYCE:
-iPad ordering system
-90 minute seating; starts once first order is put in (we were done in about 70 min and food came out fairly fast)
-once an order has been sent to the kitchen, can’t order again for another 10 min
-sashimi up to 10 pcs per paying adult
Tried variety of appetizers, sushi, rolls, noodle soup & sashimi.
-when ordering, be sure to read the description because it says (1pc). For example, I’m used to shumai comes in 4 pieces but in order to get 4 pieces, you need to put in how many pieces you want.
-cooked meat selections are good: beef teriyaki, salmon, calamari are all approved. However, they come together on one place, so when you are sharing with people, be aware that they are served on one plate.
-udon & ramen sizes are small so it’s good to try out
– nigiri pieces are packed with rice; don’t let the small size fool you. It is super squished together.
-dessert options weren’t on the iPad. Server asked if we wanted ice cream at the end, but we had decided to go out for dessert because we didn’t know ice cream was available, so we skipped it.
We would go back if we are in the area. People who brought out food was nice; the server was not too friendly.

First time trying this new spot by us. Mariah took care of us and she was exceptional. Literally everything was delicious. Didn’t have any expectations coming in but now it looks like we have a new to go sushi place. We came in with 2 little kids. No issues whatsoever. Servers were sweet and the food kept them busy. Music was great, food was fresh. BYOB currently but they’re getting their license.
