Happy Sushi | Japanese

I was in town to see the Union Pacific "Big Boy" engine 4014, and needed a place to grab lunch afterwards. This restaurant caught my eye. Having never been here before and not being from the area, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'll say that I was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. The plating is incredible and the flavor matches it so well. I had the teriyaki chicken entree with the complimentary miso soup, and a spicy roll of sushi. It was a lot of food. The portions were very much worth the prices, and they flavors are incredible. The staff is super friendly and the chef himself will come out to check on you. I left with a full stomach and a memorable experience. Even had some leftovers to take home with me! I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you, again Happy Sushi.

If I could give this place 10⭐️ I would. Sushi is always incredible and the always smiley owner (Hiro) is just the sweetest!! The egg roll was amazing as well! Support local and enjoy the amazing food that they offer 😋. You won’t be disappointed!

I finally got around to trying Happy Sushi for lunch with a couple of friends, and it definitely did not disappoint! We were seated right away and our waitress was so kind and attentive. She even gave us the 10.10 roll as a complimentary dish that was huge and absolutely delicious. The food came out super quickly and the portion sizes were very generous for the price. We ordered the Anger Management roll, California roll, and egg rolls which were all amazing. Our waitress checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. This truly is the best sushi I've had! Such a great experience overall and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Happy Sushi is a very solid choice for sushi for anyone who is visiting or local to Springfield. The owner is truly passionate about his craft and gives generous amount of fish in every roll/dish. The food is good quality and comes in generous portions. The fish tastes pretty fresh considering what you can find in Springfield. The rolls on his menu are well flavored and not overwhelming. As a bonus, the owner will occasionally give out hand rolls to customers who come and dine in. The staff and owner are extremely friendly and are tentative. The atmosphere is comfy and quiet. It's a small space but it's comfortable. This place is definitely a hole in the wall type of experience. My wife and I have eaten sushi from all over (in the states and Japan included) and we both agree that this spot satisfies our sushi fix.

Happy Sushi certainly feels like the proper Sushi in the Midwest experience. The place is quiet with a relaxed atmosphere, far from upscale and complete with TV playing the latest east Asian pop music videos. It sells itself as a take-out restaurant though, so I think it delivers that feeling well. The service was exceptional, even outside of the complimentary hand roll they offered at the end of my meal. Quick, friendly, and simple. What I would hope to see at a quick take-out spot like this one. The food quality was pretty great. Good tasting fish, lovely texture and flavor in the rice, and even the soup and salad were just right and complimented the meal well. My only gripe is a similar problem I saw at some other sushi restaurants in Springfield. The individual pieces are too big. Nigiri and Maki rolled or cut to this size make it difficult to properly handle with chopsticks. Leading to mishaps like dropping fish on the soy sauce, or the fish and rice coming apart. I'd much rather have more manageable bites than simply 'more food' when it comes to sushi. That said, I would bet their dinner plates are fantastically packed. Overall, a solid 4/5. I'd likely go again for the qua
