Sushi 99

First time coming in after Unilocaling for nearby sushi places. I saw that it had good reviews so I stopped by. I liked that they offered free soup and fried kani sticks. I started off with tuna tataki and it was good. Everything went downhill when we got our sushi. The spicy tuna wasn’t spicy. The rice tasted old and I felt like I was chewing forever while eating my tasteless spicy tuna. I then moved on to the Phoenix roll and I was overwhelmed by all the sauces on it. I don’t wanna spend $ 13.95 on a roll to just taste the sauce. My last roll was the soft shell crab. I tasted more lettuce than crab. I wasn’t very impressed with my sushi rolls. I see a lot of people raving about the sushi here but they have yet to venture into sushi in Orlando. You would expect higher quality fish since Daytona is right next to the ocean…
The funniest thing I’ve heard from the server when I asked «what is popular?» was «everything on the speciality page.» That was useful. :’)

Absolutely the best food I have experienced in a long time. I have tried quite a few sushi establishments in Daytona and this one takes the cake. The restaurant is modern and impeccably clean. The staff is friendly and very responsive. Complimentary white onion soup and holiday sushi roll upon arrival and they are spectacular. My fiancé who hates sushi, is a fan of this roll. Their prices are unbeatable, 6.50 for a roll with salmon and real crab. You just can’t go wrong! Try the scallop fried rice, it’s sticky and full of flavor. We came two days in a row because it was so great we just couldn’t get enough!

Drove by many times for many years, why didn’t I stop in sooner! Scallop fried rice, Jax sushi, and a spicy tuna
All excellent will be back

My family has eaten here several times and it is consistently good. The sushi is always tasty and fresh and their entrée’s and hibachi are very, very good as well. Like others have said, Daytona Beach is unfortunately lacking in restaurants that don’t disappoint but this is one of our go-​to places when we want to eat out or do take out.

Fresh yummy sushi. If you find yourself in this part of FL and craving hamachi, go here. Ambience is lacking in this strip mall location, but the service and food stacks up against any big city sushi anywhere.

First time coming and it won’t be the last. We were seated right away and served miso soup along with Holiday roll which was free. We ordered sushi and my son got the kids shrimp. Food was great. We are going to be coming more often! Service overall was great too!

Very delicious, great service, good quiet atmosphere! The server recommended the double salmon as well as several of the fried rolls that were available. They arrived at our table quickly after some miso and a crab and cream cheese roll that they brought out for us special! Top marks for a place that used to be a Tijuana Flats.

The atmosphere was really pleasant and comfortable. Nice décor. The wait staff were friendly and quick. Great service. And reasonably priced!
We liked the complimentary soup and holiday roll. Very tasty. We ordered 3 rolls. Our favorites were the sushi 99 roll and the crazy girl roll.
We will definitely come back. Our new go to sushi spot in Daytona!

Not a great experience for lunch. Service was good, fast and friendly. Sushi was a very mixed bag. California roll was average but nigiri was not too good with fish pieces room temperature and a bit tough. Would have expected chefs choice to be a bit better and more well prepared. Salad really bad drowned in dressing.

Soup and sushi we had was good and service was prompt. Ginger salad was a little bland and no draft beer, but most sushi places don’t have draft. Would come again.

There is that rare occasion where you go out to a restaurant and the experience is perfect.
Clean, classy atmosphere. Super friendly greeter.
Our server here was wonderful. He remembered my special order of extra pickled ginger and even brought the table a free sushi roll. One of us even said «I didn’t even realize my water was low» at one point. The waiter was on top of everything.
The sushi tasted fantastic! Definitely one of the better sushi places I’ve been to.
All in all a solid 5-​star experience!

Me and my friends frequent here about twice a month! The sushi is always up to par and the hibachi is flavorful!

This place is located in a strip mall near I-​95. It looks unassuming. The interior is well decorated and in good shape. Large screen TVs showed rugby and some Asian tv show with subtitles. The sound is turned down so you can hear the contemporary Asian music playing.
In a Saturday night the place was half empty. Took a while for a server to take our drink orders to the point we were ready to give our food orders.
We each ordered teppanyaki: two chicken and one shrimp. We each had the ginger salad and rice.
Bottom line is that the non sushi food is bland and greasy. Not terrible but not great. The ginger salad dressing is bland and oddly orange colored. The soup they bring out was bland. The white sauce is bland.
The sushi may be okay but the food we had was not great. The service was okay. Three people with tip was over $ 60.

Being from Atlanta and enjoying great sushi regularly, I wasn’t expecting from this place we stumbled upon late one evening while at the beach. My my were we blown away by this little gem! Staff was very attentive, presentation was beautiful, and taste was on point! We’ll be back this summer no doubt!

I’m a fan of Sushi99… at least after my first experience! We were promptly greeted and seated. They atmosphere was very modern and the seating is spaced nicely… you will never feel crowded while dining. I ordered two rolls, and the hubs ordered Tempura Chicken and Veggies. We received complimentary soups which were tasty broths. The hubs received the standard iceberg lettuce with ginger dressing with his meal. The Tempura was hot and freshly prepared. The rolls were delicious. I would definitely try this place again. I think one has to remember that this is indeed Japanese-​American fare in order to not compare the fried rice and udon to Chinese-​American styled Lo Mein and fried rice. I appreciated the complimentary appetizer and the excellent customer service. I will return.

This being my third visit here, I felt it was a good time to write a review. The customer service, ambiance and of course food quality has been on point every time. The hostess, who occasionally doubles as a waitress during the odd slow times I come in, took note of my messenger bag and respected the fact that I came in to do some work while I ate. She brought out my appetizer (perfectly portioned gyoza serving!) promptly and kindly offered to put my dinner order on hold until I was ready. The décor flows well every holiday from Christmas to Valentine’s Day. For an even more calming and diverse feel (which being from Miami & Orlando, I always appreciate), the music at an appropriate volume plays an array of music. These elements are tied together by the adequate portioned food servings and perfect presentations.

In a town with no whole foods within a 40 mile radius, one might imagine limited restaurants. Yes, Daytona has only a few good restaurants (and I’ve been to all of them,) but Sushi 99 is one of those good restaurants!
My relatives know my high standards so when we went here, they were lobbying really hard to make me like it. «So Beverly the waitress is the best,» «the food is really authentic» «Stop overburdening our nephew.» That’s what the first few minutes here sounded like.
I had no idea what was good here so my Uncle said, «Just order everything with dragon in it.» That was a good choice, I ordered a few roles with «dragon» in them and they were really good. This place sure knows how to make good sushi.
This venue is popular with winter breakers (I was half expecting to watch Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez stumble through the restaurant barfing). They weren’t loud though. Thanks to my crazy Italian relatives, my table was the loudest and we made sure it stayed that way.
It’s really hard to criticize a sushi place unless it’s expensive or you get food poisoning. I got neither + the sushi was extra tasty so yay for four stars. Also, yay for being the best restaurant I’ve been to in the Daytona area! I’ll be back soon.

First impression is a generously sized strip mall sushi place. The corner spot gives it the extra elbow room. Clean, open and comfortably modern.
The menu is safe Americanized Sushi, Rolls and a few extra «cooked» dishes. Nothing scary or adventurous. While pursuing the menu and beef broth (?) and small plate of the Holiday appetizer came out. Fun!
The Sashimi appetizer came with 9 generous prices. A small note on the Tuna, it was the most beautiful deep red. Just beautiful.
The Lucky Dragon was a excellent choice. I find my choices on rolls are getting more limited with time. No fake Krab, no cream cheese, no fried (except soft shelled crabs) Yet, these item dominate the menu in most standard Sushi places. The Luck Dragon is a happy marriage of warm eel, avocado and topped with cool sliver of Tuna. With great enjoyment, this roll is perfectly sized to pop into your mouth. The rice is a perfect bridge with a nice snap of scallion and roe.
I over ordered. Go figure. But this was a perfect stop for a hectic day.
Downers — two tv’s (I know, ‘murica) but one had Man vs Food which arguably is quite contrarian to the delightful food is art concept.
Over all. Good place to kick back and enjoy.

The Specialty Rolls are Exquisite!
I will write more on this soon – but I am leaving this here as a reminder!
This was our second trip to Sushi 99 and it was just as good as the first trip
This has been the best Sushi we have had in the area.
Great Time with family as well.
We Will be Back!

Was looking for a good sushi take-​out place on my trip here in Daytona and decided to stop here due to all the great reviews. Didn’t have time to dine in so ordered online which was very convenient. Had to wait a few for the food but I left pretty much after ordering so that was ok. The hostess was very nice and polite, hence the 1 star.
Now for the food… I’m super shocked people think this place is so fantastic. If this is what Floridians consider great sushi, well… that is very sad.
We tried the tempura shrimp roll and soft shell crab roll with a side of fried rice and tempura veggies. It also came with a small salad an soup. For a treat the fried oreos.
The sushi rolls have to be the worst rolled sushi I have ever seen. Wegmans grocery store rolls better than that. Come on. I had to eat my crab roll with a fork by the end because it just all fell apart. The lettuce inside (which it doesn’t state it has on the website) was brown is some spots. Also if you look at the pic of the sushi, that’s both rolls together so I got a wopping 6 pieces of crab roll that barely contained any crab for $ 8.95. That is absolutely ridiculous and a rip off.
My son had the shrimp which seemed to rolled fine a little greasy and sloppy though. He’s 4 so I don’t think it bothered him. :P
The fried rice was just greasy rice and some of the veggies were ok, but the zucchini ones were filled with grease. I didn’t even try the soup. It looked old to me and didn’t smell appetizing.
The oreos were soggy and greasy. My son didn’t even want them. What kid doesn’t want chocolaty goodness? I didn’t want them either.
Overall very disappointed. I know sometime takeout orders aren’t as put together but come on this was just plain laziness in my opinion. For $ 28 I’m sure I could of found better. :(
