Reviews for Island Sushi in Appleton, WI
Amazing rolls! We were lucky to have Mindy and Gage rolling up some masterpieces, they were creative and took so much pride in... making delicious rolls. Some of these things were so unique like we?ve never had before and we love sushi. Everyone working waskind and you can tell they all get along like a family, so it?s good energy and vibes. The all-you-can-eat is an oval bar withactual floating boats going around in a circle and you take off what you like to eat as they float past on their little waterriver system. Simultaneously the chefs go around and take your order for whatever particular roll you would like off theirmenu. It does take some time to get around to you so in between you can enjoy things off the boats or some hot sake/drinks orgood company. Yes the wait is long but you can go in and get on the wait list. They can text you a link where it shows if youare up next, that way you can go run other errands until you?re next in line, that?s what we did. We went at 7:20pm on aTuesday and waiting about 1 hour. We were one of the last 2 groups in there, leaving at 9:30pm. You just have to be there onthe wait list before 8:30pm but they stay open as long as you want to keep ordering. It?s great everyone shares tips too! Thatcreates a nice community atmosphere with everyone working there. I also appreciate that they didn?t rush me to leave, I felt Icould really get my full and I eat a lot. Thanks for such a fun place! We almost didn?t come after seeing the reviews aboutthe long wait but we are happy we did! Will return whenever in the area. Read more
Was traveling for business. Quite possibly the best sushi I've ever had in the US. The experience was amazing. They had an... automation of floating boats that caused around a real sushi bar. Plus the chefs would.come.over and ask you what you wanted. Wehad about a 30min wit at dinner time...well worth it ! Read more
Have been multiple times and the wait is always over 2 hours when there's only a few people in the bar area and multiple seats... open for the boats. Not sure if it's a staffing issue or what but won't be going back unti either they let you call ahead orfigure the issue out. Which is a real shame because the couple times I have managed to make it in when there wasn't a wait thefood was amazing and I love it here. Read more
This was such a fun AND delicious experience. These little boats with sushi float by you and you're free to eat all of those... items that you want. They also have sushi chefs there to make you rolls of your choice. My advice is grab the rolls menu rightaway so you don't fill up on the boat offerings. Rolls were fantastic. Yep!! We're going back!!! Read more
Wonderful! The sushi was AMAZING! By far, the best sushi I've ever heard. Fantastic service as well! Pricey, but WORTH IT.
My Fiancé and I have been to island sushi several times and have yet to have a less than phenomenal experience, the sushi is... amazing, and the concept of the boats is super fun and unique and the staff is friendly, accommodating and always appear to bein a great mood. The only "downfall" is the long wait times but we always just plan for it so its never a problem! Thank youguys so much for the great experiences!!! Read more

We got there at 4:30 when it opened to see a line of people waiting. We got in line and waited. It was clearly busy. We just... missed the cut off for the first group and had to wait. We were told 40 to 45 minutes. We waited an hour and a half to get inalmost walking out. I get these places are casual and laid back, but seriously think of others. I would never sit for that longknowing hungry people were waiting. When we finally got in there was still two groups from the first set that went in. We ateand left. Those people had now been there for 2 hours. The food is good staff is great,but people need to think of others. Howmuch business do they lose because of people like that? Read more
