Top notch!!! Green turtle and 911 rolls are a must. Great staff and atmosphere! I travel to Lincolnshire about once every two years and this is the first place I go. Consistently good!! This place is up there with any sushi restaurant I have been to.

I came here on a Yelp-search whim, and was highly satisfied with this place. Apparently I've driven past this place several times, but it's somewhat tucked-in the corner of the strip mall, so IMHO, easy to miss. That being said, what a hidden gem! Starfish Sushi was a great dining experience. I would put it in the same caliber as Blufish; you go in there and it's a great classy date occasion. Service was fast, and the food was good. We ordered: Chicken bento box Sushi bento box Deep fried soft shell crab Rainbow roll Golden Dragon Presentation of the food was great... all the appetizers and rolls came with a little shot glass of dry ice. I enjoyed the chicken bento box quite a lot. t came with unique tempura such as sweet potato, asparagus. The salad was good, and so was the chicken. The only small gripe was that at $25, this was on-par with usually more expensive bento boxes like the sushi & sashimi bento box. The deep fried soft shell crab was a great appetizer. The bang-bang sauce that came with it was really good, a the crab was delicious. I highly recommend this appetizer. Food, service, and ambiance was great. I would go back again.

Oh man, this is the kind of place that makes it hard to write a review because of Yelp's star system. Starfish is like... a 4.5 stars. First, the restaurant is nicely sized, anchoring a plaza. The inside is nice and has a mix of Asian touches (like different regions). The music is a touch on the louder side, but not impossible. It contributes to a more casual vibe. The menu is fairly sized as well. It has a combination of Japanese cuisines, sushi, and more and more Korean influences. There is a big variety of fishes on the sushi, which is confident! The service is attentive, but on my second trip, it felt really rushed. Like hovering. The management also seemed to be floating around the dining room, which is always nice to see. The sushi is well-prepared and wonderfully presented! The dry ice never stops flowing! Do you like truffle oil? Cause they got it! They also present a complimentary hors d'oeuvre of a single "perfect" bite. We had various sushi, nigiri, and I even had the ramen - which was a super generous portion. All very nice. Prices are average, but the presentation is priceless. I think the ambiance is a little mixed - it somewhere between classy and casual (there was a "Happy Birthday" song by the staff during one of my trips). So maybe keep that in mind when you visit.

The Omaske Boat C (including gold leaf), served by Chef/Owner John Lee, is a birthday for my husband. It's a fantastic treat with lots of very special sashimi selections. Highly recommended!

Our experience started out rocky... we had a 7pm reservation on a Friday night. We were seated right away and then..... sat for 25-30 minutes and no one came to our table, except a guy with two glasses of water. We sat there looking at every passing server, but no one stopped at our table. We contemplated walking out and going somewhere else, but we had our hearts set on sushi, so I went up to the front podium and alerted them to the issue and then everything was great from there. For some, that might have completely ruined the experience, but I know that people have their days and since the nice waitress who I informed of the issue personally took care of us, she was extremely apologetic and attentive. So we moved on. The sushi was SO GOOD. They had so many interesting roll options with unique flavor combinations that it was hard to not be happy with the meal once we finally were served. We started with the Spicy Edamame which was basically edamame covered in sweet chili sauce. It was good, but a bit messy. I love edamame, but I'm not sure I'd order the spicy version again. I don't think the chili sauce added anything for me. Next, they provided a complimentary crab salad on a crispy wonton. This was incredible. I wish I actually knew what it was and if I could order more. For sushi, we ordered the Crispy Tuna Rice, Godzilla, Mango Madness, Blue Fin Toro, and Kamikaze. It was way too much for two people, but we tried our hardest. Every roll was so delicious and fresh. The rice was cooked to the perfect tenderness (not too soggy). The flavor combinations were like a party in my mouth. My favorite roll was the Mango Madness roll, second favorite was the Crispy Rice Tuna. We will definitely go back!!

This sushi place is my current guilty pleasure. It's about 5 minutes away from my place of work and we've had two team meals here in the past few weeks. We were greeted with kind employees and there was plenty of space for our 6-person team. We also had an early dinner, so there weren't a lot of guests yet. Most of the team got sushi and everyone loved it. Take a look at the pictures below and I apologize if I messed up some of the roll names. The first time here, I got the spicy miso ramen, which was savory, spicy and delicious. I would get it again. The second time I got a spicy sushi combo, which consisted of spicy tuna, spicy shrimp, and an inferno roll. Overall, I'm happy with the quality of the food, the flavors, and the value for the price. That said, the prices are slightly high for some rolls, but the portions are big. This is definitely our go-to team meeting place!

Starfish Sushi is located not too far from the Lincolnshire Marriot theatre and was a perfect place for friends to grab some dinner before a show. The place was not busy at the time we went on Friday night but had started filling up by the time we left. The service was quick and efficient. Started the night with their soup and salad. The salad was amazing. I'm not one to usually rant about a salad but from the first bite the blend of flavors, I just couldn't stop. I thought this place was going to be overpriced but for the quality and quantity of the food it matches up. The portions they were bringing out were huge. We even got to start with a crab nacho chip appetizer (I can't remember the name) but that was a beautiful blend of textures and taste. I ordered the chicken katsu and spicy tuna crunchy rice roll. The chicken katsu was nicely crispy and the tangy sauce paired well with it. I enjoyed my sushi roll also. The tuna tasted fresh and the Wasabi on top was just enough. Also tried a bit of bulgogi, it wasn't my favorite but it still tasted decent enough. The menu is huge and I'll have to make a return to try some more of their items. It's a very nice intimate vibe inside. Simply decorated.

The food was delicious and portion sizes were generous! I had the bulgogi and the sushi and maki box. I particularly enjoyed the house salad with the crispy potato crunches on top. I highly recommend coming here for an enjoyable lunch or dinner!

Went for Mother's Day and they decorated each table with flowers and a Mother's Day balloon. Ordered multiple rolls the sexy lady, crazy dragon and rainbow. Ratio of fish to rice was plentiful, fish was quite fresh and all the sauces and toppings were complimentary to the fish and not overpowering. Portion sizes were quite good as well. Price was what you would expect for quality fish. The star was the blue fin torro. The torro was buttery and melt in your mouth. The truffle oil added a nice umami flavor really raising the flavor of the tuna. There was also a nice hint of salt which punctuated the flavor. I will order this every time and not get tired of it. Ordered the don katsu for the kids and sadly it was very underwhelming. The breading was very very thin so there was not much of a crunch that you crave with don katsu. The pork was also very very dry. The sushi is definitely the star here and you won't be disappointed. Good quality sushi and ambiance. Will be back soon.
