Closed during "open" dinner hours. Food might be good as there were about ten others who walked up and left in about a five minute span.

Definitely have the best sushi I've had in central illinois. Somewhat expensive but the portions more than make up. Freshest sushi I've had since being in japan. Will be back for more.
High quality sushi and great customer service from the sushi bar.

Anger management roll - well named. So delicious it will soothe the savage beast. Fantastic sushi. Don't be put off by the exterior of the building.

Happy Sushi is by far the best sushi in the Springfield area! It’s always fresh and delicious. We’ve never had a bad roll from there. Make sure to call before ordering/going in to make sure they’re open. Some of our favorite rolls are: Anger Management, 10.10, Spicy Crunch, and French Kiss.

We're from Florida and this has to be honestly the best sushi restaurant we've ever been too. Ya it may seem pricey but it fills you up and it last absolutely delicious! The waitress was outstanding the restaurant is so cute! Loved it!

Basically a one man show, so relax and enjoy what is about to come. Beef and Chicken Udon soup was wonderful and the sushi roll ( of course I forgot the name) was wonderful--- spicy tuna, shrimp tempura with cucumber and crème cheese so yummy. About everyone that came in seemed to be on first name basis with the owner and that was great to see.

Great service from the owner. Food was delicious, the rolls are very big and filling. Best in town
This is my second time. Great delicious food. Had udon noodles, ramen. Ramen is amazing. Tuna dn salmon sushi tools are perfectChef is great and very hard working. Staff is friendly.Limited seating availability.I recommend this place if you visit Springfield or want delicious food.Very affordable.
Been here a few times, & each time the sushi was still partially frozen. The old sushi chef was angry & yelled at his staff. Not worth going to.

Happy Sushi is easily the best sushi place in Springfield. The portions are large, especially sushi and sashimi, the hot dishes are perfectly prepared and tasty (e.g., the teriyaki not too sweet like many places), and the owner and sushi chef cheerful (usually) and welcoming. There is a place to sit and dine in, but nothing fancy. I think the bread and butter here is carry out, which is what I usually do. When I order sashimi (my go-to order), I swear I'm getting half the tuna loin, with salmon, white tuna, and yellowtail. It's amazing! I don't often order rolls, but when I do, the art is so pretty you hardly want to eat them (but, of course, I do). I often order California rolls for my wife, and they are big, always fresh, and made to order. The only downside, and the reason for my rating of 4 instead of 5 is the inconsistency of being open. I've driven there when in Springfield with a watering mouth, only to find a sign on the door, with notice that he's taken a week (or more) off. That said, when he's open, Happy Sushi is the best in Springfield.

The menu was a little bit misleading, I thought I was ordering stir fried udon noodles, but it was actually soup. However, the vegetable broth was excellent, and the vegetables were extremely fresh. The Philadelphia Roll and the French Kiss rolls were good! The presentation of the sushi minus the tail being left on the shrimp was great. The staff was very friendly.

I’ve always been a fan of sushi, but I didn’t know good sushi (outside of cultural urban centers) until I ate at Happy Sushi. The fish is fresh, the Presentation is amazing, and the combination of flavors is beyond outstanding. Authentic and fast — and was surprised by the chef with a free roll to share at our table: something not yet on the menu! Springfield has little in the way of genuinely good sushi. Thank you, Happy Sushi!
