25 Best Sushi Bars in Madison

“I order from Jacknife regularly and it is quick well priced and very tasty sushi, the staff there is always pleasant smiling and accommodating and that’s part of why I keep coming back. Glad they are so close and convenient to me!“

“I’ve been to RED several times, and it keeps me coming back. I really enjoy the modern atmosphere. The lighting, colors, and background music give it a relaxed lounge vibe without being too loud or distracting.

The service has always been excellent, and the food comes out surprisingly fast. The sashimi is fresh with a great selection of fish, and the presentation is beautiful. The miso soup was outstanding, and I always think that’s a good sign of a quality sushi restaurant.“

“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 🧋 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

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

“If I could give it 6 stars I would. Probably the best sushi i ever had. If I had one wish it would be that they had a liquor license. But I'm willing to skip the booze for sushi this good. Amazing. The number of Japanese customers was a testament that it was legit too.“

“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.“

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

“Personally favourite poke restaurant in Madison!

Tastes great with a good portion for its price. Ordering is also convenient by filling out the form.

I definitely recommend getting the poke bowl, but if you are looking to try something new, you might want to try the Poke Burritos!“

“Akari Sushi became one of my favorite restaurants shortly before I moved out of state. The pickled mustard and beef fresh noodles were especially great (particularly when I increased the spiciness), along with the poke bowls and many other things on the menu.“

“We ordered the all-you-can-eat sushi dinner for $30, and the quality and abundance of food eaten made it worth the cost. A wide selection of sushimi and sushi, as well as appetizers, and an assortment of entrees too. There are many items to choose from on the menu so even if you're not a sushi eater there's likely something for you. Good service but there can be a wait between courses if it's busy.“

“The sushi rolls are very good. The fish is very good quality and their special rolls are unique and well executed.

I have never had conveyer sushi, however my experience there with the concept was very fun. I was able to hunt down what I wanted and waited to pounce on it when it came by. If someone took it, it was disappointing, but now it makes you long for the roll to come by again.

Come for their menu meal, or try their all you can eat option. I have tried both and have thoroughly enjoyed both“

“Great food for a great price!“

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

“Service was wonderful and food came out super fast! Plenty of options and food was very good!“

“I am a sushi lover, and this place serves really good food with fairly price. I ordered some sashimi with sushi rice. The quality of salmon is excellent. We went to a sushi restaurant in downtown last week. They serve kind of the same food as Fin sushi, but they passed off white rice as sushi rice for the sushi roll. I believe a reliable sushi place should use sushi rice to make sushi. And I prefer the real sushi rice because it tastes better than white rice. Actually the customers are able to identify the difference. Thanks for the good food and I will come back to try some other sushi:)“

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

“Wonderful service and very delicious food!!💕“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Really great place. I got Tonkatsu ramen with no meat, and it was less than $10 for a very filling bowl with lots of green onion and other toppings. Server was kind and made sure I understood what I was ordering. I came first thing when they opened and it was super quiet, but I bet after work the food court fills up. Overall great food for a low price, would recommend for a quick/cheap meal.“

“The food is fine. The staff is great at keeping up on dirty plates and refilling drinks. The place could be cleaner though. The bathrooms are not the best looking and our table had crumbs still on it. There was also food on the seats and floor.“
