The free sushi buffets are the most abundant among all-you-can-eat restaurants . The format of the most globalized Japanese dish lends itself to eating a large amount without saturating you. Eating a wide variety of nigiris, makis and sashimis in an unlimited way is an idea that works and convinces, so much so that the openings are repeated, yes, now with a facelift: the decoration and presentation matters.
1. Sumo
The quality of Sumo is top notch and it is probably one of the best places in Madrid to eat sushi when enough or enough doesn’t mean all you want. One of the virtues of this free sushi buffet in Madrid is that you can choose from 85 options and you can repeat as many times as you want. Nigiris, makis, temakis, soups, rice dishes and a long list of starters that will make it very difficult to choose. There are eight Sumo restaurants scattered around the city, so it’s easy to find one nearby.

2. Tropikal Asia
Tropikal is a special concept of restaurant: it is the first buffet of Asian haute cuisine (at the table) in Madrid. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday and specializes in lacquered duck, sushi and sukiyaki, a traditional Japanese dish cooked by steaming. You can order four dishes per round and as many rounds as you like. Before each new round, you will have to have finished everything from the previous one. Logical. And to drink, water.
💸 Price (without drinks): 32,95 Euros

3. Runni Sushi
We could not miss in this list some of the most celebrated kaitenzushi restaurants in the capital. The first running sushi restaurant opened for the first time in Osaka in the late 1950s, and Running Sushi is inspired by its aesthetics and gastronomic offer.
Among neon signs, details of Japan’s urban landscape and reproductions of video games and arcade machines from the 1990s, more than 300 individual dishes are divided into two belts: one for cold dishes and desserts and another for hot dishes, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.
They now have three locations: Running Sushi in Market, a place set in the streets of Tokyo and the Tsujiki market; Running Sushi in Akihabara, decorated imitating this shopping area of Tokyo dedicated to technology; the original Running Sushi in Osaka and the last one, which is called Runni Space and is inspired by a spaceship.
💸 Price: midday and weekday menu: €15.95. Nights and weekends: 18,95 €. Drinks not included.

6. Sushiaoi
Sushiaoi is one of the few free sushi buffets in the Salamanca neighborhood, and although the concept -and the price- does not seem to fit among the luxury restaurants in the area, the truth is that both the quality and the decoration of the place are surprising.
