La Bamba's sushi never disappoints. It's SUCH a crazy good deal for really good sushi. It's fun that if one person is in the mood for sushi while someone else is in the mood for Mexican, you can get both here.

I've been here a few times since coming to ISU, and I've been satisfied each time. The Mexican food is on point, the sushi is on point. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to sushi, but the sushi here is very reasonably priced and very well made. The rolls are also relatively cheap, you can get 3 for $14... and they're full size rolls. I love it here!

Put in the context of a college/late night restaurant. Everytime I am in town I have to get a Super Burrito. It is iconic to the Bloomington-Normal area. It is the perfect late snack or after party grab. Price for size = great value. 10/10 recommended!

I can't say it enough... La Bamba Sushi Bar is so good! It's fresh made to order right in front of you. Took my then crush, now wife there on our first date. I'm sure it was the great food and atmosphere that scored me some pretty big points.

Desha is an absolute ANGEL! She was so kind and welcoming to us as soon as we walked in. Very odd that a Mexican restaurant would serve sushi but it kinda works really well considering it’s a college town. Either way, the sushi was great!!! Highly recommend and will be back!

Amazing service. I went in on a Friday night, the place was packed, huge line for sushi, huge line for Mexican food, usual crowd. My boyfriend running late for his train and I had hoped to grab some dinner for him before he left but I wasn’t sure I would make it. I ordered and sat down, and my anxiety was racing, I wasn’t going to say anything since I understood how busy everyone was and that there were people ahead of me, but the girl taking orders mistakenly brought me someone else’s. I explained to her the situation and she was super nice and helpful, despite being visibly rushed and busy, she checked on my order and she gave me a time. I saw her even checking with the chefs to see which one was mine. She got it to me just in time, she even signaled me over when they were about to finish so I could run out the door. Super amazing service, the chefs were friendly and they were working super fast trying to get everyone’s orders out, the girl that took my order went above and beyond, super nice and I made it to the train in time!

I have heard about the sushi bar at this location for so.e time now. This was my first time eating it however. It was a great price and made fresh to order and very good.

Sushi and burritos are a strange combo but they pull it off! Everything is freshly prepared and served quickly; presentation is a little lacking but who cares? Good food, good prices, fast service. This is an ideal place to get a meal on the run!

Read Before Ordering: This may sound incredibly strange to you, but I only go to La Bamba for their sushi. The Mexican food is bland, and unremarkable. The sushi on the other hand is easily the best in Normal. It's fairly priced, expertly prepared, and high quality fish. I recommend the salmon nigiri, eel avocado rolls, and even the sweet tofu nigiri. Even the plating of the food is 5 stars. The sushi is 5 stars, sadly the Mexican food is a forgettable 2 stars for me.

Their Sushi bar is great. It is hidden jam inside of Mexican restaurant. Can't say enough how i enjoyed every bite. Price was really good as well 👍. She also brought our order to the table so we don't need to wait by busy area next to ordering. Very kind of her.

We’ve definitely found both the burritos and sushi to be a good value and good food!
