“Delicious poke bowl! Fast delivery!“

“Just ordered BNK today for carryout and was so pleased with the portion sizes and the food was so fresh and made to order! I'll be back!“

“My food was very yummy, the staff and service was also top notch!“

“Sushi is no longer served here which surprised me but instead I chose a teriyaki shrimp lunch meal which was excellent. I also LOVED the golden shrimp and will be back for that!!! My food was hot with decent portions, and the lemonade tasted freshly-made and tart. I think she may have used pure ingredients as I watched her make a pitcher at the bar area. I also liked the music which surprised me- 90's R&B slow jams. Super chill and quiet atmosphere here with interesting and unique decor throughout.“

“We've come to Sushi Time enough times that the owner knows my son by name and his order. (I'm actually surprised it took me this long to review!) Sally and Mike are wonderful people who go above and beyond in customer service. Be it chatting with my son, cutting up the maki rolls into smaller pieces for him, or remembering GF soy sauce - I'm always so impressed. While my son and I indulge in the rolls, my husband has shown me their menu is extensive and includes other delicious meals including the fried rice, crab rangoons, and chicken katsu. Keep doing what you're doing! We always enjoy our lunch visits.“

“I cannot emphasize enough how fresh the food is here. I was very impressed with the freshness, the food quality, and the taste. This should be a five star restaurant across the board. It’s a very casual atmosphere, but the food is top-notch.“

“I’ve been searching for a great place for sushi and I’ve finally found it at Tekka! The sushi is outstanding here and very fresh! The menu has a long list of options for all! The staff is quick to serve you and is very friendly and knowledgeable! The entire place is immaculate and tastefully decorated! And the smell of seared tuna and scallops fills the air making way to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere! Well done!“

“Great service, fantastic food, and I had a great time with my cousin there. The server was so helpful in explaining their combos and allowing us all the food combinations we wanted in a simplified manner. The boba smoothie was Devine too!“

“豐富美味價格合宜，算是道地日本拉麵。服務很好，工作人員很友善！“

“Always a dining experience for my tastebuds. The service, the food, the ambience. You couldn’t ask for more. The sushi rice is, hands down, the best we’ve ever had. Questions answered, recommendations given, new adventures with unknown cuisine. This is our go to for the authentic taste of Japan.“

“We visited with a large party for a friend’s birthday, so there was a bit of a wait before we were able to get our food order in, but overall the experience was positive. I don’t usually like sushi, so I ordered the yaki udon, which was good, and it came with a miso soup that I really enjoyed; though I do wish the udon portion had been a bit larger.

My partner ordered the Mango Tango roll and chicken tempura sushi and really liked both. The sushi was good overall, and the presentation was pretty, even if it was served on fairly basic plates. We also tried the chicken karaage, which had good flavor but could have been a little juicier.

To top it off, since we were celebrating a birthday, the staff brought out a free dessert for the table, which was a really nice touch. Overall, it’s a solid local all-you-can-eat sushi spot and a good option, especially for group dining.“

“I went here with my mom after seeing a TikTok video about it, and I really recommend it! They have both a Chinese and a Japanese menu, so there are tons of options to pick from. I tried the Tonkatsu Don, and it was absolutely delicious! My mom had the Gyu Don, and it was also fantastic.“

“I've been to a lot of AYCE sushi places. I just tried this spot and it's my new favorite. The restaurant itself is small but the sushi was some of the best I've had. The rolls were on the smaller side which means I can order more and get more variety. The icing on the cake is that the AYCE dinner is $25 which is great considering others are at least $30 nowadays“

“Had a great experience here. The sushi rolls were really good—fresh, flavorful, and put together well (the kind where every bite tastes intentional, not sloppy or overloaded).

What really made the night, though, was our waitress. She was kind, fun, and genuinely made us feel welcome without being over the top. Service was quick, drinks stayed filled, and she had the perfect vibe for a relaxed dinner.

Definitely a solid spot for good rolls and friendly service—I’d come back.“

“This is absolutely a one of a kind experience! My mother and I did the “Decadent Omakase” as it was our first visit. Lee, our waiter was amazing. All of the staff that helped us were so informative and kind! The flavor in each selection was beyond this world. It was pricey but worth every single penny. I have never had a better experience in my life. The Omakase was EIGHT COURSES. Every one being perfectly curated. I cannot wait to go back.“

“I was blown away at how great this place is. Everything they served came feeling very fresh and excellent in quality, there was nothing negative that could be said about the food if I tried. They even brought out the sushi out on a fancy boat plate. All in all I highly recommend this place and plan on coming back whenever I'm craving good sushi or the other things on the menu.“

“The wait staff was excellent and if I remember correctly we had Gary as our waiter!! Quick and friendly! Wonderful food! Amazing drinks🥃“

“Great food and service. Large menu to choose from. Will be back.“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“This place is sooo good! Definitely go for the happy hour! I got 3 rolls for $15 (I thought you had to get 3 for the deal, you don't 😂 I still ate them all though lol) and it was huge portions! My husband got the bulgogi bento box and it was also a huge portion. Great food and the staff were super nice too!“

“first time here last night for dinner and certainly not my last time. I love downtown Lagrange. my Friend and I were so lucky to find this gem of a restaurant.“

“Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend!“

“I wish I took pictures so you can see how great the food looked but I went right in to eating being selfish to your needs for a proper review. The service was amazing, the wagyu choices were top notch. Today was their grand opening and they did not disappoint the wait. Price is great for all you can eat.“

“Love the North Riverside location they’re always delicious and the customer service is friendly and welcoming to say the least.“

“I love this place! The food is always fresh and delicious. I'm not able to frequent this spot in person like I used so I order through Uber Eats and they do such a great Job at packaging your food safely and they always listen to the notes section. 5/5 Would recommend“
