Fat Fish Sushi: Fresh Japanese Flavors in Lake Forest

Very cozy little place with amazing food. I think this place maybe very underrated for the lunch crowd. Been here a few times with my wife for lunch. Everything we ordered was very good and fresh, not like some other local places. Baked mussels are a must, and any carpaccio sashimi.

I've basically tried all the AYCE options in the area, and Fat Fish was by far the best. Service was lovely, the fish and sushi were absolutely delicious, and sauces were incredible. It's become my instant go to spot now.

We visited FAT FISH Sushi today on December 25th (Christmas Day). After calling many places that were closed, we were so glad to find this restaurant open. The place was quiet, with no other guests at the time, but the service was very fast and attentive. The sushi was amazing — fresh, flavorful, and high quality. We truly enjoyed our visit and were very satisfied. We’ll definitely be happy to come back again!

Our FAVORITE sushi!! The best date night spot. My boyfriend and I have tried nearly every roll there and rated them in the past two years. We love fat fish

Excellent experience overall! Small and cool little restaurant in Lake Forest. Reservations only for AYCE (All You Can Eat.) Only inside seating. AYCE $35 per person! It was only two of us and it was our first time here, so we didn’t know what to expect or how things worked. We came on a Friday around 5:00 pm. No waiting to be seated. We noticed lots of people ordered for take out, so lots of people seemed to know about this place! Staff was very friendly and helpful. She explained exactly how everything worked, and if we wanted to do AYCE or order individual. We said AYCE not really knowing what to expect. Since it wasn’t too busy, they took us in and set us up on our table. Service was quick, and the food was actually really good. We do not have one complaint about the food! All sushi rolls we ordered were delicious. Once we were done, our waitress comes, checks our orders and said: “I will change your stay from AYCE to individual and set you up on two combos, since you guys didn’t really eat enough, and it will be a bit cheaper.” (That was really nice of her) It was an excellent experience here. Will definitely come back again.

I ordered a rainbow roll and fried dumplings. The rainbow roll was a decent size but the first didn't seem fresh. The dumplings however, were cooked well and delicious. I asked about All You Can Eat because they offer it. The lady said it's offered everyday for $40 per person and a kid 11 yo will be charged an adult price. The lady whom I think is the owner was very nice. The restaurant itself was clean and had a big bag ware and a handful of tables.

$40 AYCE requires a reservation before showing up and it was delicious. Their fish was very fresh. A lot of rolls have crab in them even though it’s not listed on the menu as a main ingredient

This place is a hidden gem. It is located right across the street from a Holiday Inn and while it may not look like much from the outside, take a chance and step inside. It looks like a small family run operation and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner in a group of 3 and we had an excellent meal. The dinner sashimi plate was one of the best I have had. We also had the #7 yellowfin surprise and the spicy rainbow roll. Not only were the portions large, everything tasted fresh and delicious. We also had a beer each and the price was extremely reasonable at about $30 each. We will definitely visit again.
