Ale Tuna Izakaya — Restaurant in Sun Prairie

Most Recent (9/24/25): As always, the food is superb! As a now employee who still often comes in as a customer, I often see just how much the owners care for their customers. The Omakase for One is an amazing way to sample the delicious sushi offerings they have, and the freshness is evident in every selection. As a huge fan of Japanese restaurants, and in my unbiased food reviewer opinion, I have yet to find a restaurant in Wisconsin that comes close to the experience you can get at Ale Tuna.

ORIGINAL (May 11th): First and foremost, excellent, top tier quality food! After excitedly waiting for months for this restaurant to open up, they did not disappoint! It is clear to me that the staff worked incredibly hard to make this place a special experience. My father and I were treated very kindly and the staff made sure to check in frequently to see how the food was for us.

I got a bowl of the Miso soup and the Puppy Love roll and my father got the Crystal roll and the okra soup with the chicken broth. Both rolls were made to perfection, as they were perfectly cooked and put together so as to not fall apart when held. The mango in the Puppy Love roll was fresh and sweet and definitely added to the roll itself. Both of the soups tasted very good, and the broths were delicious.

I've been to many different Japanese restaurants in the Sun Prairie and Madison area, and after just one experience, I may just have a new favorite. The food sits on a class of its own, and the general experience itself is great. The rolls are very reasonably priced and the portions are perfect. I will definitely be coming back here, and recommend this place to anyone who loves quality Japanese food.

UPDATE (May 16th): My girlfriend and I went here to try out the pancakes for breakfast, and they were amazing! The pancakes were super fluffy and tasted delicious. We tried both the Matcha Tiramisu (to which the matcha flavor was not overpowering, but still present) and the Raspberry (which was not overly sweet). The presentation was so pretty it almost made it too difficult to start eating! The one thing to mention, is that the recipe for these pancakes takes a long time (roughly 20-30 minutes), so expect some delay, but the taste is 100% worth the wait.

Whether you're going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this restaurant has something...

If you're craving top-notch sushi without breaking the bank, look no further than Ale Tuna in Sun Prairie. This hidden gem offers an exceptional dining experience that rivals high-end establishments at a much more reasonable price point. Best sushi in Sun Prairie!

I started with the edamame, a perfect appetizer to whet the appetite. The main course consisted of a spicy tuna roll and sashimi, both of which were absolutely delicious. The freshness of the fish was evident in every bite, demonstrating Ale Tuna's commitment to quality ingredients.

What truly sets Ale Tuna apart is their impeccable presentation. Each dish was artfully arranged, turning the meal into a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The attention to detail in plating rivals that of upscale sushi restaurants like Red, but at a fraction of the cost.

The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Their knowledge of the menu and friendly demeanor enhanced the overall enjoyment of the meal.

In terms of value for money, Ale Tuna is unbeatable. The quality of food, presentation, and service are on par with more expensive sushi restaurants, making it an excellent choice for both casual dinners and special occasions. They even brought us a few extra dishes to try as well as a small dessert on the house!

Without a doubt, Ale Tuna serves the best sushi in Sun Prairie. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or new to Japanese cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. Don't miss out on this...

Guys, I kept this a secret for a bit because I wanted to enjoy their food without increasing my wait time competing with other customers. Anyways, if anyone is in the mood for sushi, definitely stop by Ale Tuna in Sun Prairie. Everything that I’ve tried there so far has been absolutely fantastic. They’ve only been open since Mother’s Day weekend so they’re still working out some kinks like a long wait time for the food. The wait isn’t so bad though because the server keeps bringing us little treats to try in between some dishes. The server/owner and her husband prides themselves on sourcing the freshest and quality products so everything is amazing and OMG the plating and presentation makes the wait worthwhile. This would be a great date spot. The server/owner is fantastic, attentive and really engaging so the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They also serve soufflé pancakes from 7-10a and those are absolutely divine, light and fluffy. I keep going back for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I hope they’ll be around forever. Their beef teriyaki bento is so mouthwatering tender that I’m craving it just thinking about it. Everything...
