Sushi Tango

This is my review after coming to this place at least 4x and hoping each time will be better, but sadly, each time it just gets worst.
Let me tell you the good-​On each visit, every single dish I ordered was great! From the sushi rolls down to the fried ice cream I happily enjoyed them all.
Then what is bad??? Well yes, the food is good, but ONLY when you finally get it. The service here is so slow, from being seated, to just simply getting a drink served to actually getting the food, it’s always a consistent SNAIL pace. And I know sushi is not fast food, but it should never take over ½ hour to remind the waiter/​waitress 3x to bring my drink or to remind them I ordered something and never got it. The worst part of all is watching other larger groups come after my party of 2 or 3 and they get their food way before we do.
Why in the world is the service at this location not the same as the one in Uptown??? Don’t you all train your waiters/​waitresses and cooks the same? Your food is good, but your service is HORRIBLE. I would be embarrassed to bring out of town guests here because I’m afraid they’ll never get their food unless the staff is reminded 3+ times!

Sushi Tango is great — happy hour timing and menu are spot on. Try the philly & spicy tuna ! Oysters are only a buck each on Sunday’s !! Two locations…

One of my favorite sushi places on that side of town. Staff is friendly. Food is always great, with awesome happy hour — even on weekends. Can’t go wrong with the crunchy roll, or a Bloody Mary made with sake (my fav).

I have always liked this place but today my girlfriend and i were totally grossed out! The place was filthy and the sushi was not that good. We both said we would never go back!

Always my to go places for sushi. The best! 5 stars for the amazing sushi rolls and food.

Decent food. Service is hit or miss. Been here multiple times and I’ve never received my order correctly. There’s always something missing or something missed. Only worth it during happy hour.

I’ve had sushi rolls here before and the were fine. Today, I tried their Tendon. This usually is tempura vegies and shrimp over a bed of rice on top of it all is poured this really nummy sauce. At sushi Tango, you get the tempura and rice but no sauce. The whole point of this dish is the sauce. That’s what differentiates one place from another. It was fine but with no sauce it was very boring. I can forgive that they can’t pronounce Tendon appropriately. I can’t forgive no sauce. When I asked, they didn’t even know what I was talking about.

Sushi is great and it’s fresh! The rolls Are done nicely and don’t fall apart. The service by the sushi chefs is less than customer friendly. They are almost ride and more interested in what’s on TV. It’s irritating. Good happy hour though!

Purchased a take out lunch today from the menu. I selected the Sushi Lunch for $ 14 and added an additional Dynamite roll and spent a total of $ 22 for lunch. When I got to my desk the nigiri and the maki looked good for presentation and tasted okay… I have he’d better and what has stated more fresh in the past from previous restaurants.
My bigger concern was the cleanliness of the establishment after lunch. I was there at 2:00 and the tables, floors, and bar were still quite dirty and the team seemed a bit overwhelmed/​understaffed.
I will possibly go back again in the future.

Garbage. We had to go to Wendy’s for bacon burgers afterwards.
I was excited for some happy hour sushi, but this was not worth the wait. Plus, I ate the worse sushi roll of my entire life, I wish I could take it back. Maybe I just went on the wrong day. It was Wednesday at 9pm, just when HH started, and they have $ 1 oyster specials on this night.
The place was completely packed. There were spaces where they could have placed tables, but instead it was empty. Get more tables sushi tango people. The floors were soooo sticky. I felt grossed out whenever I moved. The sounds it makes and the feeling of getting stuck to the damn floor was disgusting.
When we were finally seated the server took forever to come by. I’m sure the crabbiness I felt from hunger made this experience even worse.
We had everything picked out by the time we sat since we had time to look. We watched two other tables, also with two guests, that sat after us get all of their dishes and finish eating before we got all of ours. We only got beef tataki, 8 oysters, and 3 rolls that came with 4 pieces each. The tables next to us had like 8 courses!
The oysters were tiny and drenched in ponzu. The beef tataki I did like. But wtf on the happy hour rolls. 4 pieces per sushi roll, most places you get the full roll with happy hour prices. I wasn’t expecting the roll to be reduced too. That was shit, and the sushi rolls were not good.
We had the spicy tuna, yellowtail, and dynamite roll. The pieces were all cut in different sizes. Flavorless on the tuna and yellowtail. Omg on the dynamite roll, this is the nastiest shit ever. They dunked it in some sort of fermented chili paste thing. It overwhelmed the roll and left a shit taste. I never ate shit before, but I’m positive this is what it would taste like.
Never coming back.

Good sushi. Great service. From Madison area so prices a bit high for smaller portions. I usually get 8 pieces per roll vs 4 – 6 here.

Ordered a hand roll, sushi roll, soft shell crab and wontons to go. Bartender said it would take 7 minutes. No idea why he said 7 minutes exactly but whatever. Watched a woman come in to pick up take out and walk out only to come back in and say she ordered a couple rolls with no avocado. I read her ticket order and I specifically saw «no avocado.» She reminded them she was allergic to avocado. The only thing the bartender does is apologizes and makes her wait another 10 minutes. Okay, that’s fine. 15 minutes later still no food, bartender still had the nerve to ask if we wanted another beer. Strike 2. Finally got our take out order and left. Only to get home and find we paid way too much for practically nothing. $ 5 for wontons $ 9 for soft shell crab $ 6.75 for spicy tuna hand roll and $ 7 for a philli roll. Bad service, mediocre food, and a bad reputation.

Super super sushi — had the California, spicy Tuna and a crunchy — all were fabulous! Happy hour specials make it even better!

I had the crunchy roll (from the happy hour menu) and it was really good. I also had the yellowtail which I didn’t really care for but my only issue with the crunchy roll is that the tempura shrimp wasn’t all that crunchy. I expected it to be quite warm and crunchy. In any case, I enjoyed my meal and would go back soon.

I liked the looks of this place, it’s nicely decorated in that snazzy, neo-​sushi kind of way. We were a larger group and were able to make reservations. The table was ready for us when we got there, always a plus. Our server was friendly and easily handled our group. I never wanted for anything. The food was good, not great or earth shattering, but good. The standouts were the salads. I really enjoyed the spicy cucumber salad. The rolls were okay. They had a big selection of the neo-​sushi that is really popular these days… ya know… the whole shrimp, crab, maybe something raw, cream cheese, then tempura covered in a spicy mayonnaise dressing & roe kind of deal with a clever name. I liked that they didn’t over-​sauce everything, which has been something I’ve noticed happening more and more at sushi restaurants of this type. They had some fun desserts. They have a full bar. The prices are pretty steep, like whoah… some of those rolls were eye-​poppingly priced. Overall, if you want some decent, though not stellar, sushi and have a big wad of dough you want to blow quickly, this is a good place.

Excellent sushi! Long wait. With faster service the rating would surely go up.
50+ minutes to get 2 orders of takeout is taxing my mellow patience. !!! It’s packed but not that bad.

Expensive but mediocre quality.
We came one afternoon for early dinner since I was craving sushi. I was glad that the menu was extensive and had a very good selection. We ordered a bunch of stuff and the quality was just very lacking. Started with the Tako salad $ 10, it was swimming in a pool of spicy mayo, couldn’t even taste the octopus, or the lettuce. Next came the uni sushi $ 8, and the uni was just not very fresh. Then we had the sashimi lunch special $ 14 and this was a lot better. It came with a few pieces of tuna, albacore, bass and several pieces of my favorite white tuna. The tuna was kinda stiff, but the other 3 were pretty good. Then we got the rainbow roll $ 15, which was ok. Service was nice and friendly, although the food took awhile to come out.
$ 70 and I wasn’t even full. I was also charged $ 2 for a hot tea. The bathrooms are clean and parking is super easy. I would not recommend this place based on the quality for the food and the high prices.

I love sushi tango, nice place to come and have a few drinks or laughs with friends. Come during happy hour though as prices can quickly add up. Sometimes when it is busy do expect a wait but for the most part the staff are friendly and accommodating even when the crowd I go with is a little rowdy. Sorry… The food is delicious though, love the oysters, tuna tataki, and seafood larb. So much flavor, YUM. Crunchy roll, salmon skin and dynamite are my three favorite rolls and the soft shell crab is so delicious it’s almost too good to share. One complaint, like most Asian restaruants, the bathroom is disgusting, the floors are sticky and I recommend simply ripping it out and redoing the whole thing.

I should have listened to the reviews! HORRIBLE service! We were seated immediately with menu’s in hand (ONLY REASON FOR THE ONE STAR). And that was the end of the great service. Never got water, nor did anyone seek to see if we were ready to order. We even did the «maybe if we put our menu’s down» they’ll know we’re ready to order. I had to flag a waitress down to take our order. It has been 20 mins since we walked in. We should have had our orders placed! AND they were not busy as we purposely chose to go during an off-​peak time (not during happy hour)! I was annoyed by this time. There was one waitress in particular, THE VERY THIN ONE! She had the audacity to roll her eyes when I flagged another waitress down to take our order. That goes for the service…
Quality of sushi, the one star for trying. The rolls broke apart as we picked it up with our chopsticks. My son ended up pouring soy sauce over his crunchy roll on his plate and used his spoon. HOW SAD is that???
EXPENSIVE for horrible service and mediocre sushi. I’d have to say, Wholefoods and kawalski sushi is better in price and quality.

I would have gave it a 5 star rating if they improve their customer service. Be willing ot spend money if you are here. there is no dress code but if you don’t look like someone who is willing to pay big bucks, they don’t serve you well (this is true in most cases). I walked in here with a baseball cap and a pair of jeans like an average Joe. They didn’t seat me and when I got food, they never attend to me. Enough talk.
Sushi is great and pricy! all the other average joe sushi items on the menu, I don’t care for, they were all sub par and comparable to any buffet grade sushi.
THE REAL DEAL: I recommend you spend the big bucks and buy what is created by the restaurant, don’t buy sushi you can get from cub here.
Scorpion Roll: Best creation in town! Fresh ingredients and softshell crab! extremely delicious!
Centipede Roll: Very unique combination of ingredients. Strawberries and Unagi! Skepticall but harmonized very well together! A MUST HAVE if you are here.
Oyster Shots: EAT IT!
SEAFOOD LARB: a dish of sliced octopus, calimari, salmon and other fish, prepped in a southeast asian salad, hint of lime garnished with green onions, cilantro and spices!!! IF YOU DON“T ORDER THIS, THEN YOU MADE A MISTAKE COMING HERE. Don’t miss out on this great dish.
Overall food was great but the service sucks! maybe they should replace their wait staff with ipads since it almost feels like they weren’t even there.
My added value to the tip I gave the wait staff: serve well or don’t serve at all. Every diner is not created equally, but it does not mean we are in lacking of a generous wallet.
