Seriously, who doesnt like "all-you-can-eat sushi"? I can easily eat $15 worth of sushi. So, this place is a real treat at a bargain price. We start with traditional miso soup and/or a ginger salad; but, you can choose from a huge selection of appetizers included in the all-you-can-eat price. For sushi, we start with a large selection of nigiri as we love the raw fish. The salmon, tuna and eel are my favorites. The eel is broiled, not raw, but amazing. We like the yummie yummie roll. But, honestly, some of the rolls are too Americanized, meaning they have lots of sauces, cream cheese or crunch fillers and not enough fish. So, unless you hate raw fish, be careful not to order too many rolls. Also, they will charge you for uneaten food. So, only order what you can eat. Less adventurous guests have a huge selection of rolls, appetizers, other dishes, etc. to choose from if they dont like fish. The menu even offers korean dishes in addition to Japanese. We find the service friendly and very prompt, given that everything is made to order. I think youll like this place. If you like sushi and great deals, youll love this place since it is only $15/person!

It was our first time eating at Nami last night. The food was pricy and the quality didnt match the price. We ordered a appetizer with beef and asparagus, the beef tasted a little funny, but it had heavy sauce, so we didnt pay too much attention. Then the black rice came, and it also had a smell I am not familiar with, I thought it may be the unique smell of black rice. Then we had sashimi for the main course. We noticed that they were not the best, but ate them anyway. Both my husband and I had very bad diarrhea afterwards. Weve had sashimi at many other sushi restaurants, this is the first time we suffered diarrhea after the meal. Obviously, we will not recommend this restaurant to anyone, and will not go back again.

We dined here for my Mother-in-Laws birthday and we were all please with the food and service. We took our 2 year old son, too! I was leery about bringing him, but upon settling in, they had brought him paper and crayons, water and kept tending to him. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful! Probably the absolute best service Ive ever had. We went around 530-6p so it wasnt too busy when we arrived. Even when we left ~7p it wasnt overly packed, but definitely hopping. It is a causal, laid-back atmosphere with WONDERFUL ambiance and quick service. For $15pp all you can eat sushi I would highly recommend this place. The sushi is fresh and tastes great and theres a huge variety of options! Will be back many times!

A party of 8 adults went on 1/14/17 for the lunch AYCE. We ordered everything at once on the slip and upon turning it in, the female owner/manager asked if we were sure we wanted so much. She said we would be charged for anything left over. We crossed out a few things, feeling shamed to do so, but left the majority of our ordered items. No less half-a-dozen times throughout our meal she asked if we really still wanted everything we ordered even though we were finishing every plate that was brought out. I have never felt so harassed during a meal before. Yes, we wanted all that food! Let us worry and pay extra if we have left-over food.

Ive been here four times before and the food is service was excellent. However my fifth and final trip will be the last. The nigiri was made with rice 3 time too small for the fish. When I tried to send it back they gave me a bowl of sushi rice so I could add more rice. All the maki was filled with the cheap shteaded imitation grab. The shrimp tempura was small and poorly frird. When I complained they told me that this is how it has always been done. This was during their dinner full price hours no less. The location in Naperville is this bad which is why my friends and I started coming to Westmont. I will never come to either location again.

My husband loves sushi so when we have time just the two of us we go for it. We love Sushi City in DG and Hokkai in GE so we decided to try new. We arrived at 12 which is the opening time to be told that the rice is not ready. My husband suggested ordering some appetizers and wait to be told that the kitchen is not open. I wanted to give them a chance so I asked how long? They told us another 20 min... how can you open at 12 and not be ready to serve til 1? I wont go back even if it is the best sushi.

I come here about every once a month or two. I love their all you can eat option. I tried to come during lunch hour because its a little cheaper..but it is definitely a great deal and a great way to get all the sushi they have. Today I had a bentobox for lunch and it was very tasty and sizable portion as well. Ps: I thought their salmon teriyaki in the bento box would be small but small but its actually quite sizable. Overall, I think they offer great deals and great tastes .

First off, they open at 11:30. Other than that the all you can eat selection is awesome. I recommend everything, I mean how often do you come across an all you can eat sushi bar outside of the city? Exactly! Bit often, so be adventurous! Ill be trying the eel roll next time. Also! Be forewarned, for the all you can eat lunch, they will charge you separately for whatever you dont finish.

Not sure what constitutes "great quality" to some reviewers but I found the sushi here bland at best. It sounds like a good deal - all you can eat sushi for $15? Okay! But once you see and taste the stuff they serve, $15 (for lunch) is not such a good deal anymore. Tensuke Market serves much better food at comparable prices.

Ive been here a dozen times and have always had a great experience. The staff is all very friendly and the sushi is very good, especially for an all-you-can eat place. The chefs usually do really cool things with the dish presentation which is unexpected at that price point. This is truly a hidden gem in the Chicago suburbs.

Great food and friendly service. For the affordable price, its a definite must-try. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for quality Japanese food/sushi at a good price. Personal favorites include their miso soup, salmon, tempura crunch roll, and teriyaki chicken.

The sushi was delicious. Super fresh, tasty. Place was very clean, service was quick, personnel was very attentive. I ate so much I could barely get up. And the price was half of what it should have been. Best culinary experience in a long time. I will be back.

Im giving it five stars because for the price. The sushi is very good. The staff is accommodating. I never had to wait long for refill or someone to take my order. For $20 bucks. You cant go wrong. Decor is nice as well. And the place is clean.

Quick, friendly service in an elegant and well kept atmosphere. Sushi was quite good as well as the entrées. I particularly enjoyed their custom rolls; would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try something tasty and different!
