25 Best Sushi Bars in Madison

“Absolutely amazing. The sushi is so fresh and the flavors are unique and delicious. I’ve come here a hand full of times for special occasions and it never fails to impress! The cocktails are also phenomenal.
We love!! Highly recommend.“

“Tiger roll, butterfish roll, these are the must try!“

“Dined here for lunch today and loved the vegan options! Menu is clearly marked so we didn’t have to modify anything, which was highly refreshing. Shout out to Living on the Veg sushi set and the crunch salad, both solid choices. Bright and welcoming interior, with equally welcoming staff! We will be back again and again. Take no shiitake🍄“

“I have been a regular patron at Sushi Express for about 4 years now. I describe this place as a place to get “4 star sushi for 1 star prices”. Their menu is extensive, with many creative rolls, and their 2-roll or 3-roll specials are hard to beat price wise. My personal favorite is the Lake City Roll. The wait staff are always friendly, and I can only recall one time where I waited more than 10 minutes for my sushi rolls. I’ve also ordered delivery from here many times. I once waited over an hour for an order, and they gave me a $10 store credit upon realizing my GrubHub order didn’t go through entirely. Like any restaurant, these folks are human and 99% of the time you’re going to get great sushi with great, friendly service at a price that won’t break the bank. More cities need a Sushi Express like this one in Madison, WI. 5/5 stars for their delivery service and 6/5 stars dine in. HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone that wants great sushi but doesn’t want to break the bank.“

“Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and very nice staff.“

“Highly recommend!!! Great place!!! Very beautiful ambience 🤩 so awesome I’d recommend everything as they have a lovely menu with delicious foods and beverages especially love their Boba 🧋 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Wow. The sushi was some of the freshest I've had. I got food delivered, so I can't comment on the service at the restaurant, other than to say the delivery process was great. I'm visiting for a few days, and I'm considering getting dinner from here for a second consecutive night, it was so good.“

“Great food for a great price!“

“Takara offers a wonderful variety of rolls and sides delivered via conveyor belt. The fish was all incredibly fresh and flavorful with unique combinations coming around every 10 minutes or so. We paid about $30/person and it's all you can eat, so bring an appetite to make it worth your while.“

“I’ve always loved Muramoto! Can’t go wrong for fantastic sushi!“

“This restaurant's best offerings are their American style maki sushi exploding with all kinds of fillings and toppings. The appetizers and other offerings are pretty basic. The nigiri was disappointing but as expected for this part of the country. The cocktail menu is interesting, but I haven't sampled much from it yet. The new decor is kitschy and over the top, but it imparts a fun, casual vibe if you just kind of relax and enjoy it. Some of the sushi plates had little orchid / flower sprays on them that were quite visually appealing.“

“This is a small restaurant that appears family-owned. They have a small staff so you might end up waiting a little bit longer than other places, but they work very hard and the food is very good. There are some very creative rolls on the menu, like the Wisconsin roll that I got. (Pictured) The portions are also generous for the price. Enough for me to fill up on one roll and soup and still take half the roll home.

They play jpop here, so it's not always the most relaxed or upscale vibe, but I liked that there were no tvs. So, it's probably a bit quieter for lunch. There were two families with kids when I was there, so it's a more lively sushi place with non-sushi options for kids, too. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for something a little different.“

“Wonderful service and very delicious food!!💕“

“Incredible value, friendly wait staff, great food! This is always my go to for ayce sushi, teriyaki, and hibachi.

The atmosphere is fine, but that's not this place's charm. The food is good enough to make the vibe unimportant anyway.

Literally all I would ask for is for the menu sheet to have room to clearly write multiple rounds.“

“I had a great experience at Poke It Up! The poke bowls were fresh, flavorful, and customizable with a variety of toppings and sauces. The ingredients tasted high-quality, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the ordering process smooth. The restaurant has a clean and casual atmosphere, perfect for a quick and healthy meal. Highly recommend if you’re in Madison and craving poke!“

“Our party of five loved our meal! We had habachi, sushi, egg rolls, salad, and ramen. It was all delicious and would definitely recommend.“

“Delish sushi and very nice staff! It's cute and clean inside, and you can order by drawing on a little menu so you can just grab it and walk away and think about it for a while. Ordering take out is nice as well! Ready on time, and we'll packaged. It's my preferred place to get rolls for SURE.“

“Clean, unfussy, and welcoming atmosphere with fresh and delicious food! We went for lunch and ordered poke bowls. You build your bowl by checking off options on a paper and get a made-to-order delicious fresh meal. We arrived mildly hungry and devoured our bowls; They were so tasty.“

“Best Poke in Madison - I keep trying others but none compare. Highly recommend the Hawaii green bowl.“

“I have gone there several times to eat, the food is excellent. The people are very nice. But today the waiter who served us seemed not to have a good day, part of the good experience is not only the food but how the server treat you.
The server who attended me never asked me if I wanted something to drink, I ordered a hibachi steak, he didn’t ask me how would I like my steak?.
He didn’t come to ask if we were missing something, he just came to give us the bill and that’s it. He didn’t even ask if we wanted something else.
The food 10/10 as always. But the attention today did not make my visit to Niji the best.“

“The best around for that price!! So, so, good and so very affordable! Just do it! You won’t regret it!“

“Always great sushi and service. Buy 1 get 1 deal is a terrific bargain.“

“Very good seafood boil! Very fresh and great service!!“

“Visiting from Colorado with some friends and came across this place. Food was very delicious Highly recommend the Korean BBQ wings and Pork dumplings.“

“This is a really good buffet. It has a sushi bar. Then a salad bar. They had a big selection of food. The crab Ragoon tasted old however the egg rolls were phenomenal. The have a hibachi Grille and a pho station. Dessert had a bunch of cakes and things plus ice cream.“
