Sushi King

First of all they must have people they know write there reviews… this place is awful. the plates were dirty and why are they so small, the silverware was cloudy. o and WHY ARE THEY ON GROUPON CAUSE YOU DONT SAVE NOTHING we paid $ 18.00 for the groupon and $ 18.22 for the bill??? its $ 18.00 per person so how did we save??? and the Atmosphere is bland Like a big warehouse they put tables in… i will not be going back there. at almost $ 20.00 a plate i can do better… Duces*****

Good food at reasonable price — lunch was AYCE at $ 12.99. Great service and amenable to special orders. Would definitely recommend!

Best sushi in the area. Wide variety of sashimi and sushi. Ask for Jeremy… great wait service.

Ok, this sushi is mediocre at best. The sushi does not taste fresh, the rolls are skimpy. The sushi is not at the quality it should be. They give you very small portions of sushi compared to the rice.
I guess for 18 dollars, you should not expect too much.

We came in today for all you can eat lunch today, and we’ll see back for sure. They served smaller portions, which works out perfectly so you can try several dishes.
Here’s what we had:
Seaweed salad-​had good flavor and a nice crunch to it.
Beef Gyoza dumpling-​delish!
Crab Rangoon– these weren’t as sweet as I prefer but had great flavor.
Dragon roll-​the eel sauce added sweetness to it, and the avocado was on point.
Spicy tuna-​it wasn’t super spicy, but had great texture of flavor. The crunch-​yum!!!
Volcano Roll-​This disappeared quickly, and was my personal favorite.
Orchard Roll-​you could really taste the wasabi in this roll. It was my boyfriend’s favorite.
Salmon skin hand roll– was a bit too peppery for the boyfriend’s liking.
The music here is was AWESOME! It was older hits from the 50’s/60’s, which bests new music every day of the week. There is tons of space in the restaurant, ample room for larger groups, as well as smaller tables for a more intimate setting.
Chris did a fantastic job of keeping our drinks full and sushi on our table during our visit. Great service!

I grabbed lunch here before a wedding on ¹⁰⁄₂₃. I called ahead because I wasn’t sure what time they switched from lunch to dinner (I don’t eat fish or sushi so paying the dinner price would have made me choose another place to eat). Dinner menu is served at 1530 and I made it there at 1510. The man on the phone was nice as was the person at the counter where they take you to your table.
It is a big restaurant. a ton of seating but everyone was sat together near the end of the building. I was given the lunch menu options and waited for my server for about 2 minutes.
The Miso Soup was hot and very good, I had two bowls!
The Garden Salad was watery, I probably won’t try it again as soggy lettuce is no fun but the ginger dressing was delicious.
The Vegetable Tempura comes in 3s. Onion, sweet potato and broccoli; one piece of each with a dipping sauce. Loved it.
I personally wouldn’t recommend the chicken hibachi. It was dry and didn’t have a good seasoning or sauce to it. Each hibachi option comes with a scoop of either steamed white or fried rice.
I do recommend the steak hibachi– very flavorful, juicy and delicious.
One thing that was odd was the service. The servers seem very… hipster. They’re kind of brief and to the point, not exceptionally friendly but I wouldn’t call them rude. He was really nice when I was about to leave. got really excited about offering dessert lol.
Overall for someone who doesn’t each sushi the food was worth the price at lunch and it was very good!

This my first time. coming here and its AWESOME!
sushi is fresh and delicious!
Fried rice, crab rangoon, and shrimp tempura are great!
For all you eat place this is my favorite!
Atmosphere is great and very clean!

Honestly can’t go wrong with the all-​you-​can-​eat. And for only $ 12 lunch on weekdays, a pretty solid deal.
The portions of non-​sushi foods are small, I had their house green salad, which was okay with a lot of dressing; the hibachi chicken with fried rice which was also good. The dressing that comes with it was the best part, though the chicken was a bit overcooked and chewy. Ordered their vegetable tempura which was a lot better than I remember, though they didn’t give enough dipping sauce with it.
The eel roll was okay, couldn’t really pick out the eel. I think my favorite roll was the Sea Angel roll, though I ordered that towards the end and was done at that point.
Would’ve ordered their desserts, but had no tummy space left.
not a bad spot to go for decent sushi.

Seriously who could complain about all you can eat. The server came to our table at just the right time, every time. Food took minimal amount of time to come from the kitchen. We will be returning again soon.
PS: the cucumber salad was overdressed with rice vinegar, totally overpowered everything else in the salad. It was missing sesame oil, in my opinion. (I love cucumber salad, so I had to describe this)

Found this on Unilocal.Haven’t live here over 10 years just wanted sushi and found this place. So far the service is ok. For the price they asking for I couldn’t say no. I love sushi and I am from California and been station in Japan.
This place so far is not bad but they just slow on a slow day getting food out. I wonder what it’s like on a busy day here. I place a order and wait 10 mins till I get my sushi but I guess I get what I pay for. Sushi itself is not to bad either. I have been to a lot of all you can eat they are alot faster here on getting food out and quality as well. But what do you expect for $ 12 AYCE sushi.

I hardly ever venture over to the Peninsula, but my honey took me to the Virginia Living Museum for my birthday, and we wanted to find a close lunch spot. I like the Sushi King in VB so I wanted to give this one a try.
There were a few people in the restaurant at 12:30 mid-​week. I was a bit put off by the loud music playing — a mix of house and techno. Weird for a sushi place.
I considered buying a groupon, but with the lunch price for AYCE, we decided it wasn’t necessary. It really was a good price for AYCE and they have an excellent selection of cold/​hot appetizers, classic & special rolls and kitchen entrees like hibachi, fried rice and teriyaki.
Between my man and I, we tried cucumber salad, seaweed salad, steamed shumai, vegetable tempura, california roll, crabmeat roll, salmon roll and volcano roll. I don’t have a complaint about anything we had. It was all delicious and had only a little rice. One of my sushi pet-​peeves is using too much rice.
I almost wish I lived closer to this Sushi King so that I could go back. But I may bring earplugs.

This is a great place to get your sushi fix! First off its all you can eat so if you want a good place for a date night it’s a great spot. I went with a good friend of mine and we enjoyed some great sushi. The crazy monkey roll is by far my favorite roll but I honestly didn’t try one that I didn’t like. I would put this on par in quality and service with any other sushi place I have ever eaten at. The waitress regularly brought over appetizers for us to try without us even having to ask and they were just as fantastic as the sushi! I also feel it’s important to say that you can see the sushi chefs preparing your order fresh, so no stale sushi on a conveyor belt.
One warning though, if your order any drinks like saki your tab will go through the roof. All in all great food, all you can eat, good service… what’s not to love.

I wasn’t impressed by any aspect of the experience, to be honest. The food is quick and plentiful, but the chefs are clearly told to minimize the amount of fish. The service was overwhelmed by the demands for an overly-​large area considering they were dealing with all-​you-​can-​eat customers but without the ability to self serve. The hibachi steak was meh. The specialty rolls were decent, but the classic ones disappointed.
All told, In the future I would prefer to just pay for a great product instead of an all-​you-​can-​eat experience.

We are visiting Williamsburg area from CA and had gotten a Groupon for Sushi King. Very disappointed earlier on that one there not open yet. After day in Yorktown, cut over to Newport News for dinner. Wow, are we glad we persisted! Everything we had was great! Would highly recommend seafood salad, black pepper tuna, and the angel roll. Wasabi was sparingly provided — even if you asked for extra, was still less than packaged sushi in grocery store. Overall, wish we had something like Sushi King near home — appreciated individually made dishes/​rolls. Service started to slack as they got busy — overheard that many coming in were also Groupon. Was okay since we’re on vacation, but don’t go if you’re in a hurry. Would be good even full price if you’re ready to get your sushi on!

Great atmosphere. They play great music, nice bar if your flying solo or want to watch the game. All you can eat lunch $ 11.99 dinner $ 17.99 can’t be beat.
Over 2 dozen sushi items and a dozen cooked habachi style meals.
A great find in Newport News, VA. Check
for other locations

What can I say. I had volcano roll, shrimp tempura roll, hibachi steak, etc… You cannot beat the price. The food is phenomenal and the staff are amazing. You definitely get your money worth. The lunch menu is limited but dinner is all out. They also have an array of Saki products that I sampled. Great place for the buck.

Not as nice as the Downtown Norfolk location, but same exact theory. This location has more a buffet or Golden Corral feel to it.
The visit started off rough due to waiting about 10 minutes before a waiter showed up to take drink orders. With two kids in tow, I am a little sensitive to wait times like this. However, once he showed up, we were ready to order and off to the races. I tried to not eat like a complete pig so that I didn’t have to let out my belt. The quality is fine for my kids and I. I typically keep it simple with my rolls and I like some of the apps, like the crab Rangoon.
For me and given the amounts that my kids can put down, this is economical for us. It is just very hard to not overindulge. I recommend the Sushi King locations, but I like the Norfolk one better. It is cleaner and the service is better.

I’m not one to turn my nose up to a good, cheap asian buffet, but this place takes that concept and blows it out of the water. It is a bit more expensive than a buffet ($ 17, plus you’ll have to tip your server) and it takes a bit longer to get your food (because everything is made to order), but it’s totally worth it, especially compared to the prices at some other all-​you-​can-​eat sushi places. Everything is really fresh and tasty. I would only come here though if i wanted to eat a bunch of sushi.
For 17 bucks you can order basically anything on the menu, one main course at a time. They have salads like cucumber salad and seaweed salad, appetizers like crab rangoons and spring rolls, hibachi chicken and beef, and the majority of the menu is a large selection of sushi and rolls. There’s enough non-​seafood items on the menu to please my girlfriend who has an allergy. I liked almost everything I tasted. My one criticism of the food was that depending on which chef makes your sushi roll, occasionally the technique was a bit sloppy.
The ambiance is modern and classy, although I did notice some cobwebs on the light fixtures. The service was good enough. I’ll definitely be back here the next time I’m craving a whole mess of sushi.

If you’re ever in Newport News and you’re craving all-​you-​can-​eat sushi, this is the place to go. The prices are super cheap ($ 16.99 on weekends) and it is made to order! No buffet tables with stale sushi. Yuck. While I’m known to not frequent buffets, I was with a crowd of eight and I was not going to be the party pooper.
The menu has the standard sushi joint food — appetizers like seaweed salad and miso soup (both good), sashimi, sushi rolls, and some odd ball items like onion rings… The sashimi costs extra. You can eat your $ 16.99 worth with an order of two rolls at a regular sushi place.
I like the standard sushi rolls (Philly and spicy tuna/​salmon) and It is nothing over-​the-​top or out of the ordinary. But I also took a chance on the Crazy Monkey roll and was surprised at the taste. It had crab and… banana. I figure since it is all-​you-​can-​eat, it doesn’t hurt to try it out and I was not bad. It had a sweet taste from the banana that offsets the soy sauce. However, I’m not sure if I can eat the full roll. It tasted a bit like dessert.

Great concept. This location has been plagued with unsuccessful Asian cuisine restaurants. This time, I think that they found a winner. It’s an upscale «all you can eat» sushi, sushi rolls, Asian appetizers, Asian cooked meals, and desert. Did I mention it’s one cost for all you can eat. 15.99 $.
I will be back!
The redesign of the seating area has made a once plain buffet style seating to a nice restaurant with modern urban décor. It feels very nice inside.
The food was excellent. I came with a group of 7 last night. We started with appetizers: Kani salad, shrimp tempura, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, and Japanese beer. Everything tasted well. They make everything to order and tapas style for apps.
The concept is this. Order an entrée. Before you finish order your next item. Think like red lobster’s unlimited shrimp except it’s the entire menu! Amazing. Go hungry.
The reason I gave a 4 star rather than the 5 star is because of service. I think the servers are very attentive but are not used to this concept yet. Also, I don’t think they had enough servers. So an example is that when I was ready to place my next order, she would go to those who got her attention rather than everyone. I wish they would gain the concept like tuscanos with the red light green light.
Beyond that. The food came out every 15 min. A reasonable pace. Was fresh. Tasty. Filling.
This is a new favorite and go to spot. Very happy sushi king came to the peninsula.
Happy sushi eating all! (And nice cooked items too for non sushi lovers like hibachi style and teriyaki and vegetable dishes). They have a full fancy bar and a kids menu.
Enjoy!
