Japan House Springfield in Illinois

"Best of Springfield!!! I am kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. An excellent, elevated AYCE experience and quite frankly a hidden gem. Stuffed behind Sams in the old TGIF building, it's easy to miss, but you will be glad you found it. The selection of items and quality of everything I tried was top-notch and it was all delicious. Staff was very polite and very helpful. Atmosphere was great....Even the seats were above average comfort. We purposefully tried a wide variety of items to get a feel for their food game and we were immensely impressed. Sashimi was fresh and flavorful, all of the rolls we tried were amazing and well put together. We tried things like calamari and yakitori and they were excellent as well. We were also impressed with how quickly food came out when another round was ordered. I even give them points for the chill nature of their AYCE experience. So often anymore, there are weird rules, or other steps required. Here you order your drinks and then the rest of the menu is there for you to freely choose from. At the time of review, pricing is under $20 for lunch and under $30 for dinner, which is somehow even lower than many of the AYCE Sushi options in Central IL. Couldn't be happier with this place and I'll see you there as I'll be going back at every opportunity!"

"We had a wonderful dinning experience at Japan house. We got the all you can eat dinner that includes sushi, sashimi, hot and cold appetizers, different kind stirred fry noodles and hibachi. All for 25.99. For lunch time it's only $15.99 for ayce. Some items that printed in red are for dinner price only. Beverages and desserts is not included in the ayce. We think it's a steal for us. We go to Japan house at least twice a week."

"Perfect sushi place. We tried their all you can eat on a weekend. No wait time and the first batch of appetizers were on the table in no time. You can order anything from the food menu and they will get it on the table. Sushi, sashimi and a lot of other things. Highly recommend to go in a group of 3-4 so that you can try most of their menu items."

"Loved the sushi here and the clear soup. Jasmine tea was great. Some choices are only available for dinner and I came for lunch. Still delicious and fresh. Wonderful service and friendly staff Wondeful atmosphere. I definitely will be back. Megan took very good care of us!"

"Great entree portions!! Likely better suited for a larger group to be able to try more items & not be wasteful. If you’re a sushi eater I’d say probably really worth the money! Rolls were on the smaller side but it’s all you can eat so who cares!! We paid the $5 extra to get a small box to take our leftovers home & that’s another meal so definitely worth it!!"

"$27.99 sounds like a lot, but you have access to the whole menu and as much of it as you want. It’s actually quite a deal!"

"I have a new favorite restaurant in Springfield. The food here is amazing! I love that you can try many things on the menu for one price. Unlike other all-you-can-eat places, this is not buffet style; you order from the menu up to five items at a time, and the service was fast. I tried many things, and it's hard to choose my favorite item, but I would say it was the Salmon Hibachi plate. I will definitely come back for more."

"This was a fun experience! I've never been to an all you can eat sushi restaurant before. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard of one... until now. During lunch it's about the cost of an average buffet. And a dinner. It's about $10 more. I came in on a weekend and wasn't prepared to pay $27.99 for a meal. But I went ahead and did it anyway. I'm glad I did. (Not that I would be able to do that very often lol) It's not a buffet. It's all you can eat. In order to get your food, there's a waiter that hardly goes by and takes quick orders from each table... over and over and over and over again. I was impressed by the choices on the menu. And I was even more impressed by the quality when the food came out. Everything was extremely fresh. I don't do a lot of reviews for restaurants much anymore but this one deserves one; a good one. The waiter was amazing and actually made us feel kind of special by the attention he gave us. (I should have gotten his name but I can come back and edit this review when I go back and find out what it was) I plan on going back quite a few times. But my future visits will probably be lunch visits so it fits within my budget better For anyone who likes sushi and goes to buffets... This is a no-brainer. (especially if the main reason you go to a buffet is for the sushi)"
