Tuna was way off ... Spicy tuna roll was too much rice .... But it's cheap .

My cousin, a UW grad, took us here when we went to visit. Looks like a dicey sushi place but it was pretty happening on Saturday night after exams and graduation have ended. I can see why, they have a discounted price if you buy two or three of the regular rolls. Then they have an extensive special roll list. And the portions are pretty filling. The beef teriyaki comes with rice and isn't what I expected it to be (the usual piece of beef, sliced, grilled and sauced). If I lived there, went to school there, I think I would definitely visit again. It wasn't the best sushi I've ever had, nor the cheapest. But it was definitely a nice spot to get my sushi fix.

Do you like warm sushi? I don't. My husband believes this place is better at lunch, but I was not especially impressed.

Want fast yummy sushi for delivery? ORDER HERE! Yummy sushi rolled well and handled with care over delivery. If you want an amazing addition, try their crab ragoons, you won't be disappointed. So far, Sushi Express has been the fastest sushi delivery in Madison (and I live Downtown).
(5)Kathryn A.
Cheap sushi that tastes pretty decent. Recommend if you want something quick and cheap.

I was craving for a ramen bowl and just suddenly turn right to find it there but nope, they don't do ramen but stir fried udon. So I gave it a try. At the first glance, I totally knew this is not the real udon I usually have. But the second thought poped up to my mind and I told myself it's probably like a Japanese/Chinese fast foods bcoz of its name, sushi express, so I should not expect anything but just try and see if my dish is flavorful. Even though the dish didn't look right but the taste was quite good. Plus having yr noodle on the windiw seat was just perfect but I wanna complain about lousy noisy Chinese staffs that they just ruined my peaceful moment. Otherwise it was just good.

Clearly a Chinese restaurant serving sushi. It was filling and decent, but not what I would call "good sushi". This restaurant (unsurprisingly) targets college students. It could use a good cleaning. On the bright side it was inexpensive. I would not go back.

I was actually astonished at how yummy my sushi was from Sushi Express. I ordered their 3 roll combo delivered to my apartment last night and it got here within 45 minutes. The cold rolls were still cold and my warm roll was warm, impressive! I had the spicy tuna roll, which is really good. They put crispy tempura bits into it which really gave it something extra. The Philadelphia roll was also yummy. One of my all time favorites will always be the shrimp tempura roll, and this one did not disappoint. I loved it so much I almost ordered some again the next day! Really, really good food and really, really cheap!

We ordered the Eel Avocado Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, and Dragon Roll and they were perhaps the worst quality I've had in Madison--I'm debating between this place and the sushi place run by Hispanics in Fitchburg for worst sushi. Not only were the ingredients old, each of the rolls' main ingredients were almost non-existent (e.g. there was so little eel and shrimp that we couldn't really taste them) and the eel sauce smelled of soy sauce (yes, unagi sauce contains soy sauce, but it's not supposed to *smell* like it). There was something sour in our fruitless rolls, too, which made me wonder if something hadn't been kept around too long and gone bad.... As my mom always said, "If you want Pho, don't go to a Thai restaurant," and if you want good sushi, don't go to a Chinese place. If you're looking for some less expensive, but quality rolls, try Ginza's Happy Hour. The prices are comparable and the rolls taste soooo much better there. In fact, if you take the one-evening sushi-making class from Flambe Gourmet, you can learn to make better tasting, less expensive sushi than Sushi Express.

Okay, when you're paying less than 10 dollars for two traditional rolls, you can't expect top shelf seafood so please, lower your expectations fast. That being said, Sushi Express is generously priced and the rolls are amazing considering the price. I've had a pleasant experience eating in and ordering carry out from Sushi Express. I know some people have mentioned poor delivery services so maybe instead of having it delivered, pick it up yourself the next time you have a hankering for super cheap sushi.
(4)Amelia J.
I gave this restaurant a pretty awful review over a year ago, but I've since really taken to this place. Their delivery time has definitely improved. The 2 or 3 roll combos are a great deal. It's not the best quality, but it satisfies my sushi craving without requiring me to change out of my sweatpants. A few times that I had the eel, there were little bones in it, so I avoid eel from this restaurant. I recommend spicy tuna, spicy California, and Philadelphia rolls. I've never been disappointed with these three. The rock shrimp is delicious, and the fried oreos were pretty good too (kind of soggy, but tasty).
(4)Caleb G.
Old rice in the rolls - gummy Old wasabi - dried and turning pale Old ginger - white? Raw fish - not bad, seemed fresh Overall - I think the low price comes from bulk prep of items that won't kill you if they're old and refrigerated, and fresh prep of those that will..... good for a stoney meal, not good if you're trying to impress with your knowledge of the local "good" sushi joint.
(2)Patrick R.
I was terrified to try this place, because the name "Sushi Express" does not imply a great deal of quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised! Almost always delicious. I would encourage people to try their delivery service. Fairly consistent. If you are using their delivery, don't go crazy. Simple rolls like the spicy tuna is hard to mess up. I tried a specialty roll over delivery and paid for it dearly.

I ordered the spicy salmon roll, tuna roll, and eel roll for sushi and the chicken teriyaki. The actual tuna and salmon seems to be minced up, not a filet. Nothing was in the rolls except the rice and protein. I had assumed there would be some avocado or cucumber of some sort mixed in but nope. Don't get me wrong, it definitely filled the sushi void in my stomach but now I know why this place is less expensive than the others. The chicken teriyaki was bad. Simply bad. It had no flavor and tasted like it was steamed and then sautéed with some sort of dark flavorless sauce. The fried rice was made the same. I mean, come on! Can we get some sort of flavor with my food. I don't care if it's a flavor I wouldn't care for as long as it's a flavor. It's as Sushi Express was afraid of offending people's taste buds so they decided to go with no flavors. Stick with the mall food such as sarku's for chicken teriyaki. Ugh, can't believe I needed to add salt to every bite. Avoid this place if you can help it.
(2)Ponkey K.
In this price range, it's the best you'll find in Madison. The roll combos are a good deal, and they've got good meat entrees as well. Delivery can be slow on a busy night, but overall service is great. OMG I EAT HERE ALLLL THE TIME seriously ugh I cannot get enough of dat soosh.
(5)Lindsay W.
I love this place, and they have some of the best prices on their sushi in town, especially when you use the "any two" or "any three" option. I only ever get sushi here, and I'm pleasantly surprised each time I order something new. It's not 5-star sushi, and if you expect that, well, it's your own fault. I think the sushi is good, and order from Sushi Express regularly. It's one of my favorites. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for good sushi that's not super expensive. I prefer it over most of the other sushi places in town.
(5)Michael T.
This place has great variety. I had quite the appetite, so I went with not one, but TWO entrees. I was very much pleased with the Beef Udon. The Salmon w/ Rice bowl was okay, but I probably should've went with a specialty roll. Best of all, the prices are better than a lot of other asian places downtown.

Hey, this ain't Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Then again, for the price, I find the quality to be staggering. In terms of my experience, Sushi Express has served me some of the best rolls i've ever had in a Sushi restaurant, rivaling some of Chicago's most popular neighborhood joints. I love how they grind the salmon and tuna in their hand rolls and maki....as well, most Spicy rolls have a dusting of panko inside giving that extra addictive texture. The spider roll is my all-time favorite and they do it really well. On a side note, I'm always surprised at how good my wife's sweet-potato tempura rolls look. All in all, if you love sushi, but just aren't willing to spend endless amounts on it, this spot is fantastic. Highly recommended for your casual and consistent sushi dining.

Let's get one thing straight: I am not rating this restaurant on the same scale that I would rate established Madison Sushi restaurants such as RED or Muramoto. My husband was working and I wanted to spare the embarrassment of going to a restaurant by myself on a Saturday night. Sushi Express had sent me a pamphlet and I was feeling adventurous (but clearly not adventurous enough to leave my house). After reading previous Yelp reviews, I hesitatingly decided to order some delivery and I am glad I did. I got the "Any Two Roll" special with a tuna roll and a Philadelphia roll. I also got an additional dynamite roll. Delivery was faster than other reviews made it out to be (which is surprising considering it was dinner time on a Saturday during student move-in weekend). The sushi was pretty much what you would expect. Not excellent. Not bad. The rolls were kind of small, but I felt satisfied and could even leave some pieces in the fridge for my husband to eat later. Basically, if you want GOOD sushi, get your butt to a sit-down restaurant. If you have a craving and don't want to put on a bra or something other than sweatpants, you really won't be disappointed. ...I seriously hope this review doesn't make me seem like I've given up on life.

First and foremost, this is not an expensive, top of the line sushi place, so if that's what you're looking for best to search elsewhere. But this place is a pretty amazing, on-a-college-budget sushi place. I've only ever ordered out from here so I can't say much about eating in the restaurant itself but - step one: ordering online was easy-breezy. Delivery right in the time window (30 minutes, hooray!) Pretty decent sushi selection. I had one of the house rolls, the Out of Control, which was awesome, and an Alaska roll and a spicy tuna roll, which was very spicy (excellent). I'm a stickler for fresh avocado and this avocado was nice and green so that was a major plus. All very tasty, again not like a 15$ roll quality but still good quality and tasted fresh. Neatly packaged. Great sizes. The boyfriend had a chicken teriyaki bento box with fried rice and he absolutely loved it. The only reason I'm not giving this whole thing five stars is that the chicken, while very good, could have used a good amount more of the teriyaki sauce. In all, I'll be back. Great prices, delicious food, excellent service, and fast delivery (if you're looking for delivery time).
(4)Steve N.
The food was good and I would recommend the rolls But the appetizers should come out before you are done eating the rolls
(4)Natalie P.
Good, but not great sushi. However, the prices are amazing and the service is fast. I'm a regular customer. It's a really great place for college students who don't have a lot of money to spend but want to have sushi.
(4)Huong C.
The food and service are great! Their menu prices are really low and affordable, that I was quite surprised on how the quality of the food would be. The "Mango Lover" is my favorite roll and the combination hibachi has very tender, juicy meat. Also, I had to try the fried Oreos that kept being mentioned, I found them AMAZING!
(5)Rachel B.
As others have said, it is not the BEST quality, but honestly it is great quality delivery sushi, especially because of the price. I love the Hot Girl Roll and the Out of Control Roll, but at the same time the tuna roll and the spicy tuna roll are also amazing. I find a specialty roll and a basic roll is the perfect amount of food for one person. Their warm dishes are also very good. I got the vegetable low mein the last time I ordered and it was the best delivery low mein I have had. More than half the container was actually vegetables, which never happens.
(4)Margaret L.
I came in with no expectations because trying a new sushi place is always risky - and left completely satisfied! I had the Spicy Tuna roll - which was to die for, the Bamboo roll basically changed my life, and we finished off the meal with some delectable deep fried Oreos topped with whip cream and drizzled with chocolate! Best sushi place in the campus area hands down !!!!
(5)Annie L.
Unbelievable! The bamboo roll is probably one of the best rolls in Madison. Great service, fresh sushi, and super reasonable prices! I highly recommend this place! Not to mention the fried Oreos were so great...
(5)Christina W.
I was excited to try this place out and then Yelp got some wishy washy reviews so I became a frightened cat. With a smidgen of reassurance, we had some delivered. It was great. It's not the best sushi in town but it kicks Takara's tooshie.
(4)Claire M.
Never order from here. It takes more than one hour to deliver, and the food is disappointing.
