We came for the dinner buffet. The food was amazing but definitely put your whole order on one ticket because they were so busy and never gave us our dragon roll that we had on a different sheet. We had to remind them multiple times about what we ordered because they seemed a little lost on what table ordered what.

First time eating at this place and the food was amazing! On top of that, the service was great! The staff staff was very friendly and accommodating. The AYCE price was definitely worth it. We ordered a little bit of everything and it was delicious, the AYCE option.

Good was great. Service from the waiters was spotty, but the manager was very attentive. This all-you-can-eat sushi might be more expensive, but it's worth it. The food quality is very good. Will definitely return and would recommend.

For ayce sushi the food was decent.
Restaurant felt like it was running on fumes. Lots of unbussed tables when we arrived. Only service we got was to put our initial order in and never had anyone come back to check on us. Wanted to do another flight of food but waited for an hour with no service. Had to get up and go across the restaurant to get someone to check us out. Service is horrendous.

The first time i came here i enjoyed the food and service. Now that I've visited a 2nd time I'm so happy that the quality of food and service remained just as superb!

The fish was good quality, the fried tempura components were always crunchy, and the sauces were always balanced.

I really appreciate the staff for being so patient and considerate during our AYCE experience.

Great restaurant! I can't wait to come back!

I’m so mad at this place, I have to lived in Lincoln Park since 2001 and I don’t know how long this restaurant has been here, but I am really mad that I did not know about it sooner. The service is super relaxed and attentive. The food is absolutely outstanding. The location is super convenient since it is only blocks away from home. Just a recommendation, don’t waste your time with the appetizers because the sushi is so delicious. You will get mad that you cannot fit more in your belly. Was here yesterday and back again today. Both times outstanding. I’ve only been here for lunch so I don’t know about dinner

Asked me to cancel a delivery because they could not handle making deliveries while accommodating to dine in guests. This affects delivery drivers because we can get fired for canceling deliveries.

Went out here for a friend's birthday dinner. The food was amazing I had the all you can eat sushi option with the snow mountain roll which was my favorite and tried other rolls as we all shared. Honestly, not a huge sushi fan but felt these were delicately crafted offering an explosion of flavor. The place was really busy for a wednesday night so service was pretty slow but the food and drinks made up for it. Definitely recommend. One thing i'd also like to point out is they had a flashing lights vibe in one corner of the restaurant for halloween but honestly was kind of annoying but they gladly turned off the light when we asked about it. Really nice and wholesome dining experience all round.

It was our waitress's first day and our order got a little mixed up. My husband never did get what he ordered, they gave him the wrong thing. We told her that and someone came over to help her, but they still brought the wrong dish, but it was closer to what it was supposed to be and we just left it. The food was delicious though and my husband really liked what he ended up with. It was a lot of very fresh food. It was really good!

Just an awful experience!! Beware. My daughter want to go there for a special occasion and the place was just awful. We arrived at 3:30 and was seated immediately which was nice. Waitress came back about 5 min later and ask if we were ready. We asked for some water and started to order. My daughter was the all you can eat and they refused to sell it to her unless we all ordered it or should would have to sit at a separate table. Really?? All their website says it that you can not share which is understandable. She's and my son in law were the only ones who like sushi and he was getting a storage entree. Very disappointed. But we stayed.
Timeline
20 min to get water
10 more before we got our drinks
20 min more before we got two appetizers
15 min more before ones meal was served
15 longer for the second entree
(An hour has gone by and now getting food)
Daughter ordered an extra sushi rolls (25 min later we get it)
No waitress has stopped by to check in us. Had to flag someone down to get more water and soy sauce for the sushi. Just unbelievable. Save your money for somewhere else. We have never had such awful service and will never go back there! They should be ashamed.

Went into restaurant with 730 reservation and ordered a total of twice and did not get out until 10pm.
Server was very helpful at first then we didn’t see her again and had to flag her down to take our order the second time.
Food was pretty good but be prepared to wait a very long time for your food/ over 2 hours Ordered a roll with shrimp and had a sliver of shrimp that was laughable. Maybe they need more staff but it ruined the experience for us. Bathrooms were also dirty.

Worst costumer experience I’ve ever experienced. The amount of serves yet so little organization and service is beyond astonishing. They give you papers to write your order. Needless to say those are never addressed. They would continue return to confirm the order to only have it come out incorrect. Half of us waited over thirty minutes to receive their drink. There was not one time where we didn’t have to chase the waiters. No one looked like they knew what they were doing. Even after voicing our complaints we had no one reassuring the issues. While eating another couple walked out in anger over the same reasons. Appetizers would come after our rolls. One of us throughout the whole two hours of experience never received his food. When our ‘final order’ came out it came on a robot, only to have every single item not be for us. Such a waste of time. Would not recommend to anyone.

I’ve only had their takeout, but it has consistently exceeded my expectations. The sushi is always fresh, and the variety of special rolls they offer is impressive. I particularly love the Godzilla and Chicago rolls – both are packed with flavor and perfectly crafted. Their nigiri stands out as well, maintaining its freshness and quality even after a 20-minute delivery. The fish melts in your mouth, and the rice is always seasoned just right. The menu offers something for everyone, whether you’re a sushi enthusiast or just exploring. If you’re searching for top-notch sushi in this area, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It’s definitely worth it!

We came for the all you can eat dinner, and left very satisfied! The sushi is a nice quality, and there were lots of unique signature rolls to choose from. We really enjoyed the Summer Roll, the nigiri, and appetizers like shrimp shumai and crab rangoon. The atmosphere is calm and nicely decorated, and our waitress and other servers were attentive and nice. I certainly prefer Payce over other AYCE places in the area. I’ll be back to try the lunch AYCE since the price is so good!

Food: incredible. Nigiri pieces were given a fair amount of rice so you enjoy that perfect bite. There were also torched pieces of nigiri that added a good variety for the usual AYCE sushi restaurants. The picture menu helps you decide which adventure to tackle next. Very limited desert option unfortunately.

Service: a bit slow and understaffed. There is a robot server to help alleviate the demand, but you still have to wait for staff to hand it because it's unclear as to which table it's for. There was also a bucket of empty bottles of sake by our table from the previous group.

Room for improvement: need more staff (actively looking per sign in the window), since they market themselves as a premier AYCE sushi restaurant offer more dessert options, cut out some of the items that are shared with other AYCE,

Street parking available, didn't notice any patio so probably no dogs allowed, everything on the first floor so handicap accessible seating, reservations available but not required, 10 dollar for unlocking fee if you bring your own drinks.

Came to get sushi, to be fair it was late when we got here but they brought all the soy sauce dishes and waters to our table and then disappeared never to be seen again. We sat 30 minutes with no service as tables around us were being served rounds of sushi while we were being actively ignored by staff. As a repeat patron of this restaurant I was deeply saddened by the service I received today. Take your business to sushi taku.

And also our roll was taken but its come late and almost 40 mins to be done and served to our table & they keep made a mistake with served double our order which is we only order 1.
And the air conditioner is really cold & we are not comfortable with that and we asked for an extra tempura sauce, the server one girl stand behind the bar only said yes but never bring it to us. And nobody refill our water too. We will never come back & not recomended

Wow. Stopped into Sushi Payce for AYCE sushi and we figured that portions would be small, quality not so great and rolls mostly rice, but boy were we blown away by the menu and super tasty sushi. The AYCE menu offers Apps, soups, sides and rolls/sashimi and nigiri! We loved the Dragon, Sunset rolls, Spam Musubi and simple tempura. The Dynamite Tuna roll with fresh herbs and the Hamachi Cheek knocked our socks off! They also have 4 sashimi dishes that are worth the try, we found the Salmon and Yellowtail to be super delicious. Sushi Payce gets busy and our server couldn't keep up with orders and clearing the tables in the dining area on his own. Drink menu standard with Beers, Sake and Soju. Recommend the Grapefruit Soju with Asahi beer as a refreshing thirst quencher. Other than service a bit short, we can’t wait to return to the lively, crowded Sushi Payce where AYCE sushi is fresh and yummy!

Food was good for the most part but I don't like how a lot of their specialty rolls had a lot of mayo or otherwise fat. Rolls are definitely on the smaller side but that doesn't matter if you do all you can eat. I liked how they did the sashimi tho with their own sauces and partially seared. Presentation was really good too but they got in the way with the small tables. Service though was lacking. My second round got lost somehow and I ended up waiting an hour for nothing. They eventually came but I ended up spending 2.5 hours here when usually getting sushi I spend 1.5h. The mochi i got wasn't great - it was already halfway melted when served. Probably good for a first date but I probably won't keep this in my rotation.

I am not typically an AYCE restaurant type of person but my friends and I decided to try Sushi Payce as it was in close proximity, had good reviews, and was one of the few sushi options at the time we were looking to eat dinner. The staff (led by Win) sat us within 30 minutes of closing and was quick to help with the menu, bring water and take our order.

We tried a variety of dishes - appetizers, sushi, nigiri, etc and everything was great. My favorite roll was the Godzilla roll and we also really enjoyed the ribeye teriyaki appetizer. Win was a fantastic waitress and so attentive the entire night. All things considered, we had a fantastic experience and would be back for the price no doubt!

Neat little AYCE sushi shop with Manny options.

Appetizers were good, and salads were refreshing. There's no need to order seaweed salad alone as other cold dishes do come with it.

Rolls were great as well, next time we would definitely order more rolls than nigiri because...

The nigiri were quite large with more rice than fish unfortunately. Fish was on the thin side so you are pretty much stuffed by the rice mostly.

Prices are good for daily $6 drinks, many people ordered Thai ice tea with milk ($5) and given the size of it, think before you order next time!

Service was great the whole time. The ambience was nice when seated in the open room.

Overall a good experience on a weekday lunch. Dinner does provide a little more options but lunch is just fine for us with its value.

All you can eat sushi and tons of other non-sushi dishes, both hot and cold. Tempura shrimp or veggies, chicken wings, salads, potstickers, mochi ice cream, etc.

I was there for AYCE sushi. The quality was just okay but expected for all you can eat sushi. However, the mango dressing that some of their dishes had was way too sweet, so watch out for that. Their service was decent throughout the entire meal, until the last part where we asked for our mochis. We were waiting for about 30 minutes for just three pieces of mochi. I would say that there are some better deals for AYCE sushi around Chicago.

We went for a family birthday meal as a group of 4 (2 adults/2 kids), and it was a disappointing experience.

Pros:
- Good value for the sushi you get
- Happy hour drinks pricing was good
- Nicely decorated
- The server was nice

Cons:
- It took us 3 hours to get in and out of there. I'm not sure if they were short staffed that day or if this is the norm. We didn't order extra drinks or anything exceptional either.
- After waiting a long time to order, we ordered everything in two batches. The food would then trickle in very slowly with 1-2 nigiri pieces and then we'd wait another 20-30 minutes for a couple rolls to come out.
- The server seemed genuinely surprised when we said we had been there for 3 hours and were still waiting for another few things. There was no sense of table management/recognition that things were taking way too long.

The servers were working hard to manage the volume of people there, but we didn't get an explanation on why everything was taking so long. And it's clear things were severely overloaded - we saw delivery drivers who were there waiting for at least an hour from where we sat.

Hope they improve, but we likely won't come back.

I called the first time a woman answered. Said 5 min. 20 mins later I called again and they answered and hung up. Absolutely unprofessional. I spent $140 on this order.

Great food and atmosphere that needs a lot of improvements on service. We had to cancel some of our orders because they never got served before we finished eating the rest.

The price definitely doesn’t match the quality. The best part is the little robot that delivers the food.

Sushi Experience №156

First time visiting and was unimpressed with service. Stopped by during a film fest and was looking forward to dinner with my director. We placed our orders and she got her meal fairly quickly before leaving early to check in on the fest. I was left waiting for my order and it took like 15 minutes before the server came and asked me if I needed anything. I told her I was still waiting for a dish and she informed me that they ran out of it. No one told me. I used to work as a server and understand things get busy, but this was a Sunday evening and the crowd seeemed managable. Ya girl was hungry and pressed for time and y'all failed to communicate. Wasted my time and ended up running to Burger King next door for a quick bite instead

My best friend and I came in when they were new and were treated like royalty. I've been away for a while and have heard nothing but great reviews. This will be the last place I eat before moving out of Chicago permanently and I can't wait to experience it again one last time tomorrow. I don't know why my original review didn't post but this is an exquisite and wonderfully executed dinning experience. And I was so glad I got to review you all and will be able to one more time. Thank you!

Very good experience. Staff were nice and funny, and I loved the servers (including the cat robot). Food was very good and yummy. The rice was and it wasn’t served falling apart.

The service and the wait was terrible. We had made reservations for a table of 6 and got there at 5:30 we got our food an hour later at 6:30. I ordered a glass of wine which I had to ask multiple people about and they finally brought out the wine a half hour after we got our food. When we got there the restaurant was half full. people sat down ate and left before we even got the bill. We paid and left the restaurant at 8:30. It took way too long and asking many servers to bring us the bill before we could pay. On top of all of that there was an automatic 18% gratuity for parties over 5. It felt insulting to have such a large tip be taken when I would have never given a tip like that on service so terrible.

My wife and I made a reservation for 7:15pm, we got there and the host wasn’t anywhere to be found so we waited till 7:20 when I finally went to ask someone if we needed to check. She quickly looked at her board and told us that we had to wait a little longer (understandable because it’s the weekend) once we finally sat at our table at 7:30 they passed us our waters and someone came by with a drinks menu so we ordered our drinks and they came out pretty quick. Unfortunately that was the highlights of the night. Nobody mentioned to us that the host was supposed to give us paper menus where we could order our food, I asked a server for some and we order 2 simple rolls. It took them almost 30 mins for them to pass them to us while the people from the tables around us (who ordered after us and a lot more than we did) kept getting multiple orders to their tables. When we finally complained the server said it’s only been 26 minutes without even acknowledging that it’s been a long time. Ruined the whole experience.

I really enjoyed the food at Sushi Payce. We came in for the all you can eat dinner and the food and presentation of it were awesome, really top notch! The service was not nearly as good as the food. I felt like I always had to flag the waiter down because he was always rushing around and never stopping. However when you did finally get his attention, he was courteous and helpful... but even had to flag him down to pay the bill, and there were only a few other customers in the place when we were there. That being said, I will definitely return and see if it was just the waiter or the restaurants training in customer service because honestly, the food would be totally worth it. My advice is to come for the food, not the service, and be willing to stand up and wave at the server lol..

An absolutely excellent restaurant! By far the best AYCE sushi in the city, especially for the price. So many amazing rolls, so many good drinks, killer appetizers. The owner is also very kind and the wait staff definitely cares about customer satisfaction. Love it here!

There are a number of high end sushi spots in Chicago. There are many of them in the Lincoln Park neighborhood as well. However, one of the best sushi spots that I've been to lately is an unportentous neighborhood spot in Lincoln Park. It's located on Fullerton just west of DePaul. First, the atmosphere is great. The restaurant is brightly lit and has fun Asian style decor. Second, they have a huge menu. They have all of the typical sushi nigiri and sushi roll offerings you would expect. However, they also have a lot of other options. For example, not only did I order sushi the night I went, in also ordered chicken wings and spam musubi. These are just examples of of delicious dishes other than sushi you can order. Third, their food is delicious. Everything that I ordered was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the sushi nigiri I ordered. I got tuna and tamago. I measure all sushi restaurants by their tuna, and the tuna here is good. I also explored a lot of their non-sushi options and suggest that you do the same. Fourth, the service is very good. The staff is nice and the food came out quickly.

This is a must visit sushi spot in Lincoln Park.

Sushi Payce is a hidden gem with the best deal for AYCE sushi in Chicago. From the moment you walk in, you will love the vibe. It's a fun spot with great service.

They offer an AMAZING AYCE menu with unlimited appetizers and sushi starting at 22.99$ per person The sushi selection is huge. Rolls are prepared fresh upon order and tastes fantastic. They also have sashimi, nigiri, appetizers, soups, salads, and chef special maki. Their unlimited appetizers are the best, loved trying them all.

I will definitely be back again . Highly recommend

super fresh, high quality sushi, especially for an all-you-can-eat sort of situation. tasted great, food came quickly enough and everyone enjoyed it. place is clean and cozy as well, no blaring music for us to shout over. unfortunately, the bathrooms are pretty grim, and my mother (took my parents out to dinner) watched an employee use the bathroom and return to work without washing their hands. apparently they were washing dishes, which i guess among all of the staff i would want to be the kind of person to not wash their hands after using the bathroom, the person washing dirty dishes is probably the most acceptable one to do it, — but it's still gross, and even worse that they tried to excuse that behavior. really soured the mood for me. also, the men's bathroom had like pages from a yaoi on the wall. dont google what that is. didnt factor that into my rating at all, i just thought it was funny. wash your hands.

The prices were great we all got the all you can eat for about $33 per person. The food was great and there's a decent amount of options to choose from. The only thing I had a problem with was the speed of service they didn't check up on the table too often and we had to track one of them down half the time. Other than that though it was a great experience and I would definitely come back.

We came here for dinner on a Thursday night, and it was super busy! So you know they're doing something right here.

The food was great!! We really had no complaints about anything. Especially for an all you can eat place, for $32.99!? Such a steal!

I've been to my fair share of all you can eat places, and most places I've been to load your sushi rolls with so much rice it's not even enjoyable. Here, I noticed that their rolls are actually smaller than typical, which I personally really liked and thought was a good idea. If you're doing all you can eat, you want to take advantage of that. So this allows you to do so without getting insanely full off your first order.

Service was a little slow, but they were very busy so you can't expect anything different.

I'd say this is definitely in my top 3 of all you can eat sushi restaurants in Chicago!
