My wife, our infant, and I arrived at Happy Sushi at 2:22, which is 8 minutes before they close for a few hours. The owner was very nice and welcomed us to dine-in. We ordered 3 sushi rolls which were all delicious. While we were eating, our infant daughter became fussy and the owner came out to talk to her and put music on the TV for her. He was very friendly and accommodating for us.
I highly recommend Happy Sushi for the good food, the modest atmosphere, and wonderful owner.

Happy Sushi is a very solid choice for sushi for anyone who is visiting or local to Springfield. The owner is truly passionate about his craft and gives generous amount of fish in every roll/dish.
The food is good quality and comes in generous portions. The fish tastes pretty fresh considering what you can find in Springfield. The rolls on his menu are well flavored and not overwhelming. As a bonus, the owner will occasionally give out hand rolls to customers who come and dine in.
The staff and owner are extremely friendly and are tentative. The atmosphere is comfy and quiet. It's a small space but it's comfortable.
This place is definitely a hole in the wall type of experience. My wife and I have eaten sushi from all over (in the states and Japan included) and we both agree that this spot satisfies our sushi fix.

We used to love Happy Sushi and we ate there often. Over this year the quality has diminished significantly. Today we ordered a Philadelphia roll That came with yellow avocado that was mushy, the cream cheese was warm, and the salmon also felt mushy. I ate two of the rolls, but was unable to continue. Now that it is settled for about an hour, I have vomited. This is so disappointing as we used to go here all the time. I called the store to inform them of this. They offered to remake the order but I said no. I told them I wanted to let them know to hopefully avoid getting others sick. The woman on the phone got defensive and said no one else has called in to say they’re sick instead of acknowledging there may be something wrong. I informed her that there is a picture available here for their reference. Very disappointed in the service here.

Happy Sushi certainly feels like the proper Sushi in the Midwest experience. The place is quiet with a relaxed atmosphere, far from upscale and complete with TV playing the latest east Asian pop music videos. It sells itself as a take-out restaurant though, so I think it delivers that feeling well.
The service was exceptional, even outside of the complimentary hand roll they offered at the end of my meal. Quick, friendly, and simple. What I would hope to see at a quick take-out spot like this one.
The food quality was pretty great. Good tasting fish, lovely texture and flavor in the rice, and even the soup and salad were just right and complimented the meal well. My only gripe is a similar problem I saw at some other sushi restaurants in Springfield. The individual pieces are too big. Nigiri and Maki rolled or cut to this size make it difficult to properly handle with chopsticks. Leading to mishaps like dropping fish on the soy sauce, or the fish and rice coming apart. I'd much rather have more manageable bites than simply 'more food' when it comes to sushi. That said, I would bet their dinner plates are fantastically packed.
Overall, a solid 4/5. I'd likely go again for the quality, but I'll likely hesitate when I remember the eating experience.

This is one of me and my roommates favorite Sushi places, however, the first time we came together I'm positive we got overcharged. The owner noticed and offered us a free roll to make up for it and the second time we got everything we wanted but they didn't stick together - think the owner was just busy - but it was still delicious. We also got a free order of Egg rolls. Definitely coming back though, their Summer roll is delicious.

I don't go to Springfield often, but when I do, Happy Sushi is a must stop for me. The place is small, mostly take out, but there are 4 tables to eat inside. What they lack in size they make up for in hospitality. The owner and staff give everyone a warm friendly greeting. Service is prompt. Food is fresh, beautify presented on the plate, and delicious. I love it here.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming! I had a fantastic experience!

The food is excellent! Best sushi in town. Great flavor and presentation. The restaurant is small and decoration is minimal. The server was not very friendly or helpful. If good sushi is what you want this is the restaurant to go to. Not fancy in appearance but the good will make up for it. I noticed a lot of people order their food to go.

If I could, I would give this more stars. My sister and I went today, and the staff were some of the friendliest I've ever met. I felt like I was back in my grandma's house with how friendly and homey I felt. Too bad I live an hour and a half away, otherwise I'd be visiting much more!!
