My server quickly greeted me and provided the Lunch Menu. The inside is pretty small but has a nice vibe and my server was super sweet and attentive. I decided on the Deluxe Bento with Salmon Teriyaki, which included Miso Soup, Salad, 1/2 Spicy Tuna Roll and Tempura Shrimp. My food was served in about 10 minutes and everything tasted great. I loved the Salmon Teriyaki and the Shrimp Tempura. For a Lunch Special, you get a pretty decent amount of food, I definitely wasn't able to finish it all. I wish I lived closer to this location because I would grab lunch from here pretty often. Lunch is served from 11:30am - 2:30pm and for $20, you definitely can't beat it! Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

It's the true definition of a 'locals hidden secret'. The staff were all super friendly and pleasant to talk to and work with, the food... wow.. just absolutely delicious. I went for a sampling of sushi and entree and wasn't disappointed by anything I ate. This restaurant is a true hidden gem that if you're a sushi fan, must be on your 'to visit' list. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Very small, intimate place that is very pleasant to have a simple date at. No crazy decor, just simple and elegant.

We were in Richmond and saw this same restaurant right near the restaurant we ate at so seeing this…read morehere we thought let's do it. We were torn between the two restaurants earlier in Richmond so it was great seeing this here since we also wanted to get poke bowls. We ordered 2 protein choice-(Both Salmon protein, Sushi rice, cucumber, edamame, green onion, crab salad, fish eggs, eel sauce, house poke sauce, fried onions, Nori Sesame, Garlic crisp, and roasted seaweed). The establishment was very neat, clean, and a cozy. The staff were friendly and polite. Music they were playing was awesome. We also wanted to try their ramen and since we are for some time we'll definitely give the ramen a go. And I have to mention their to-go bags are so cute!!

I've had Amura on my list of places to try for a while, and what better way to spend a Friday night…read morethan with sushi. We arrived around 7:30pm and placed our order about 10 minutes later. Since it was a busy Friday night, the wait was a little long, we didn't get our food until about 8:30pm. But let me tell you, it was worth the wait!!! We ordered the Tuna & Salmon Sashimi (sadly the Yellowtail was sold out), along with the Wasabi Roll, Fire Cracker Roll, Rainbow Roll, Virginia Beach Roll, and Spicy Salmon Roll. Every single bite was phenomenal! The fish was fresh, the rolls were all unique but very tasty, and my friend and I literally ate every last piece lol. The staff was kind enough to let us enjoy our meal even though they close at 8:30pm, yet they suggested we come earlier on Fridays if we want to thoroughly enjoy the dine-in experience without feeling rushed. The restaurant itself is fairly small, it only had about 5 tables and a bar area, but you can tell it's a local's favorite and now it's officially one of my favorites as well lol. I'll definitely be back soon. The sushi here is absolutely top-tier. Just FYI, don't get tricked by the GPS, it might direct you to the stores alongside Shore Drive. Amura is actually located on Pleasure House Rd. You're welcome! :)

I came in with a friend on a Friday night (9/12/25). It was a little busy and, since we arrived…read moreabout an hour before closing, things were a little hectic. Regardless, the staff was friendly and fully accommodated us during our entire visit. Amura is one of those spots that doesn't look like much upon first glance, but their focus on food and service makes this essentially a hole-in-the-wall gem. I must stress, this place isn't jacked up or anything (the venue is clean, organized and works perfectly for what they want to achieve service-wise), but the aesthetic belies its incredible sushi and friendly service. Also, although Amura has a Shore Dr address, it is located the Chic's Beach Shopping Center, but is on the Please House Rd side of the strip mall. If you don't know that portion of VB, it may initially be confusing. The items we ordered (btw, ordering is a little old school - they provide menus, but you order on a separate sheet of paper using an also-provided writing utensil) and enjoyed were: Tuna Sashimi Salmon Sashimi Wasabi Roll Fire Cracker Roll Rainbow Roll Virginia Beach Roll Spicy Salmon Roll Let me tell you, I haven't enjoyed sushi this much in ages. That's partially on me because I've defaulted to dining at the acye a la carte sushi spots. Also, a few months ago, nearby Misako took sushi off their menu (if you're wondering, I'm afraid it's permanent... at least for an extended hiatus), so I was left to find a new go-to for sushi. Regardless, we devoured ALL the sushi we ordered, which was impressive since my appetite isn't nearly what it used to be. But Amura's fish is so fresh, and their flavors meld so well with the fish, that I couldn't help myself. Along with fantastic and gorgeous company, this visit to Amura was top shelf. I had a great time on this evening - Amura played a big role with that. Thank you, Amura! I can't wait to return. JV

The moment you step inside, you're walking into a restaurant that is ready to welcome and serve you. I was greeted when I walked in, and because seating was available, the waiter told me I could choose where I wanted to sit. That immediately made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. I ordered the miso soup, vegetable rolls, and the taco sushi. This was my first time trying taco sushi, and let me tell you... I don't think I've ever tasted something so good that it brought tears to my eyes! That taco sushi did exactly that. It was absolutely delicious and easily became the highlight of my meal. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. If you're in the area, don't let the location throw you off, step inside and give Kyushu a try. Highly recommend!

Honestly, I didn't expect much going in, but I left super satisfied. I'm not sure if it was just the timing or if they're always this generous, but we ended up getting a lot of extras on the house, and I felt so appreciated. LOL! We ordered from their $20 roll combo menu, which includes two sushi rolls, and the amount of food was very reasonable for the price. On top of that, they gave us free spring rolls and even cute little cheesecakes as a treat! I did go closer to closing time, so I'm not sure if that played a part in the service we received, but either way, I was really happy and will definitely be back!

Definitely come with friends and enjoy some good beers with order of gyoza and the amazing ramen selection. For my military folks in the area , they are quick with the orders so nice place to swing by during lunch and make it back before Chief yells at you. My biggest regret about transferring from area is that Misako has set such a high bar for me that no other ramen can match it however, If I am in the area I will be visiting with friends and enjoying that ramen!

I never had to ask for anything. Kim was so attentive, explained everything to detail, and brought out tea because we were sitting under the AC. The food: best bulgogi I've had in this area. Melted in my mouth. Tasted incredible with all the small plates that were brought out. We also had the dumplings and kimbap. Everything was so delicious. Sidenote: while we were there, 2 people came in that were looking to eat ramen. In this big ol' age of google/phones, if they would have looked up the menu they would have saw this is not a ramen spot. Kim took her time to explain what they offer here, even offered them to try other places and to give them another shot some other time when they weren't craving ramen. In the end they stayed, but the way she took the time to explain what they have on the menu was admirable.

When I saw my son's bowl I realized how long it has been since I had the dish and regretted that I hadn't also ordered one. But when I opened my Hibachi Shrimp I was happy. It was also a dish I hadn't ordered in quite some time. It was plentiful with enough food for two people. My only disappointment was that it was served with clear, rather than miso soup, The packing was perfect. It was delivered hot and perfectly kept in place in the delivery containers. They were also prompt. When you order late that type of service is very important. I'll continue to order from Volcano Sushi at Town Center with their long and varied menu.

It's just alright…read more The sushi isn't great, but it's also not terrible. A solid "I'd only come back here if I don't find a better spot." The sushi is extremely loose. Every roll fell apart upon picking up. Part of the problem is that there's very little rice in some parts, so it's just nori (seaweed) holding it together. Needless to say, they collapse. The fish tastes just alright. We were one of three customers sitting down so it wasn't busy. We still were somehow ignored by our server. Our server would walk away mid-sentence before I could finish asking for something. It took the entire meal to get water refills. However, it's a fun looking spot and the karaoke prices don't look crazy expensive. I'll give it another shot, giving them benefit of the doubt.
