Akino

Pretty good AYCE sushi spot. Sashimi quality is pretty good for the salmon and white tuna. The price is bit on the pricier side for the location but you will find consistency which you want with sushi and sashimi for an enjoyable experience. When we went the rolls were not overly stuffed with rice. The dreaming roll was great. The size and portion of items is small but since its all you can eat, it doesn’t matter. The service is pretty good. Try to go on a non busy time during the week for best experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Akino in the Elmhurst location. Place was clean, quiet, and servers were very attentive to our empty plates and water cups. I did come on a Monday afternoon for lunch, so I'm sure that helped as well. I ordered a little bit of everything on their AYCE lunch menu and really enjoyed the fried scallops and all the sushi rolls that contained mango! Will definitely recommend this location and will be coming again!

This is a hidden gem. $43 all-you-can-eat dinner or $29 lunch with lots of sushi and other japanese food options like katsu and tempura. Despite being unlimited, all the sushi is actually very good. Bear in mind that the pieces are quite small though, so order away. The rolls have a thin outer layer of rice, so you get a lot of filling. I wish the drinks had been colder, none of the beers were truly cold. Would definitely recommend.

Really nice place - the food was delicious and staff were super friendly. I came with my husband and we tried a little of everything. Highlights were the yellowtail jalapeño, the salmon dragon ball and the specialty rolls. I wish we lived closer so we could come all the time!! The hostess was super sweet, and our waiter explained everything to us. They’ll also give you ice cream if you follow their insta page. Highly recommend!

When I walked in and saw it was all you can eat, I was a bit worried since it’s very hard to find places with this model that are actually delicious. But this place truly exceeded my expectations. The mango salmon sushi was spectacular, the edamame was delicious, the Akino sushi was amazing, and the gyozas were great. The salmon and tuna sashimi were outstanding, and the yellowtail sashimi was simply incredible. The service was very good, the person who took care of us had only been working there for 2 days, but honestly did an excellent job. Definitely a place I recommend and one I will gladly come back to.

Dang this place slaps especially with the ayce menu. Typical ayce prices but this ain’t your average sushi ayce. They really don’t try to squeeze you for your last penny out of the price you’re paying. All you can eat sashimi (they don’t judge) and they ain’t stacking rice on you. They know exactly what you came there for. If you look at the maki’s I have posted, there’s quite a shortage on rice there (big plus). Value met every time and you definitely will walk out of here knowing you got your dollars worth even if you didn’t uncomfortably stuffed yourself. Spoiler: they give you a charms lollipop a person after checking out

I had the AYCE on weekend prices ($43) and it was one of the better ACYE sushi I’ve had. The sashimi is really good and they don’t limit the number you can get. There’s a lot of options for appetizers, and most of them are solid. Some rolls were good, but others were mid (just not my preference). The service wasn’t as good - the waiters rarely came around to check for additional orders to add water.

My husband has long since complained about not getting excellent quality sushi/sashimi since he moved to the city. Akino was a game changer for him. We both did the $43 AYCE so we tried a ton of things. So impressed by how fresh and delicious everything was. Also, really appreciate that it’s more fish than rice.
