Food is pretty good. The only thing I wish they kept on the menu is macaroons But they took them away. Service is hit or miss. Ambiance feels stale sometimes. read more

Waited 25 mins my first and only order and the place wasn't busy. Quality has gone downhill. Tuna and salmon tasted off. Service was poor. The fried rice and steak hibachi were good, yakisoba noodles not so much. I hope things improve. Strange vibes here. read more

Great price for all you can eat menu. If you want quantity over quality this is the place. Sushi is just okay. Way better sushi places in Charlottesville. Place is dirty and not very well kept up. read more

Easily the worst sushi place I've been to. The service was not great and the place itself it's dirty and is needing a renovation asap. Its bright yellow walls don't make it any better. read more

Awful vibe and slow. Food wasn't terrible but definitely in my top 3 worst customer service experiences ever. Won't be returning.

Sushi is not the best. For 14.99 during lunch, not bad. You get what you pay for I guess

really good sushi and appetizers even the steak hibachi is delicious and there cold bar is amazing as well and you can really get what you pay for all you can eat. I would recommend the crazy monkey roll ive never had fried banana is sushi before but it was really good. 10/10 would try read more

Restaurant was very dirty. The sushi was bland and looked like it would make us sick. We didn't even finish our food and just paid and left. Wait staff was not friendly or attentive. Big waste of money. read more

If I can give this place is zero, I would!!!!!!! This is probably the worst Sushi I've ever had in my life!!!! The sushi at a gas station with taste better than this! I didn't even finish my food because it looked way off and I hope I don't get sick. The waiter was so rude and I waited over an hour just to get my food and there was no one in the restaurant, and he never checked on me once! I paid for my sushi and didn't even tip and I have never done that. That's how bad the service and food were!!! Now I have to go eat somewhere else because I'm hungry. Be aware!!!!!!! read more

M Sushi - I hope I don't get sick. The food is way off color. Not good - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Terrible sushi. Rolls were bland and practically tasteless, basically just rice soaked in sauce. The supposed dragon roll had hardly any eel or avocado on it. The miso soup was awful. The place looks dirty, and the service was terrible. Waiter mumbled and was impossible to understand. Avoid!!! read more

Food is okay, service is good but sloooooooow. Ambiance is horrific. I have been going to this restaurant for years and they haven't cleaned or improved it for years. All the seats are ripped, walls dirty, ceiling tiles falling out and or stained. There is even black stuff creeping out of all the ceiling vents. I'm sure if the health department showed up they would get a D or F. Otherwise not a bad way to go if you want cheap sushi, lol. read more

Finally tried the all you can eat option and was very impressed. The sushi isn't AMAZING but it's decent sushi that I would get again. The crab hand roll was delicious. I've also had their hibachi which is definitely not bad, the yum yum sauce is just a bit too much like plain mayo. The service wasn't as attentive as I would've expected from an all you can eat place, but he was nice! I would recommend going here if you're very hungry, it's a great price. read more

The service was so slow that you need to order everything at once or you will wait almost an hour in between the tiny servings. The kitchen items come out cold, like they were just in the fridge. I ordered the hibachi steak and it was so tough that I couldn't eat it. I ate the cold veggies because I was starving by the time the good got there. At no time were my husband and I eating together because the food does not come out together or at work any speed. If you want to just have sushi, this place may work for you but if you plan on ordering any cooked goods, look elsewhere because this place sucks. read more

M Sushi - Hibachi chicken with fried rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I'm just here in Charlottesville for a day. Found this little gem. I came from LA, so $15 all you can eat sushi sounds like heaven to me, I thought there's some catch at first. People who complaining about the price. Go try yourself at LA, $35 per person before tax. They give out serious portion on the Teriyaki and Hibachi entrees, I almost can't finish, and it tastes decent. If I have a place like this in LA, I'd go every day. Those Hibachi is the perfect post workout meal. read more

I can't travel and not check out a sushi spot. What can I say? It's a weakness. And I'm a sucker for AYCE. Went with a few folks. The hostess asked if we had ever been before. Nope. We waited maybe 10 minutes before someone came to seat us. She explained the rules and answered our questions before seating us. A couple things different here than other AYCE sushi restaurants I've been to: *Instead of filling out the menu and giving it to your waiter/waitress, each person places their own order. (My only issue with this was I was given Tamago instead of Saba...I even told the waitress Mackerel when she expressed confusion about the other name...still good, though) *The cooked foods and rolls came out before the raw rolls. *Plates for sushi and rolls were smaller, as some items came out separately. *The time between placing orders is significantly longer. I didn't see the waitress nearly as often as I have at other locations. I highly recommend ordering multiple items in one go. The food was fresh and fairly tasty. Good fish to rice ratio. However, I would request extra sauce for some of the rolls. Our drinks were refilled once the entire time we were there. read more

I have been a regular with this restaurant since they first opened long before the COVID pandemic and it has had its tops and downs. But eventually they seem to bounce back and make things right. No more!! Tonight I was seated immediately - as expected. Then the waiting began. The only female wait staff cleaned a table that was next to me and served the booth behind me - twice!! She looked my way at least 3 times. And yet, more than 5 minutes after I was seated nobody had bothered to even get my drink order. I was starving and already knew what I wante to order (my usual) and despite the fact that I had the menu indexed, still nobody approached. Bad enough they increased the cost to a ridiculous $21.99 for dinner, but the service seems to have gotten worst with it. So I walked out and will probably never waste my time going to the newly renamed "MSushi". read more

Food is great for the price, exactly what I wanted and expected for all you can eat sushi. Basically it's not gourmet of course but good. Service is good, I can't imagine having to deal with all you can order sushi customers so just basic responsiveness is good with me. Ambience was alright, but I'm not there for that, I'm there for the sushi. read more

Great food for a great price! Charlottesville isn't exactly known for their sushi, but the rolls here were just as tasty as some of the "luxury" spots in town. They also recently re-opened their self serve salad bar that had delicious salad, apps, and desserts. Will be coming back! read more

Service was great, fast and friendly! Food was very tasty. Quiet atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this spot a great alternative to a buffet. The prices are very reasonable! Will definitely be back! read more

This place is a decent place to get sushi if you don't wanna spend money. Because of the value I am giving it 4 stars but the sushi itself is probably worth 3 stars. I have never done their all you can eat but I have been using their takeout during covid and they have been satisfying my sushi cravings ! They always get my order right and delivery is always on time or even earlier than estimated. Their rolls are good and quite varied and their spicy mayo is great! read more

I am so sorry to post this review. I do hope it helps the restaurant and employees improve. We arrived at 2pm, they handed us a dinner menu and stated "dinner all day on weekend". The appetizers we ordered had two hairs underneath them and we didn't see them until we already consumed the appetizers. I ordered 3 rolls, didn't finish last one. Walls were dirty, ambiance is low, I won't be back due to the unfortunate food poisoning I experienced this evening. I had a special guest in town and we popped in as sushi king (previous business here) was awesome! I hope this helps improve your business. I mean no harm by leaving this post. I wish you the best in the future. To mention, the bill was $52 before tip. :( read more

The food is less than mediocre, and there are not many choices, either. It's not worth the money. You could get much better food from another buffet place. read more

Major issue with the waitress who was talking/flirting with the sushi chef who was preparing the sushi rolls. Her face was literally level with the food while she was laughing and talking. Spitting on the food that was to be served to the customers. I knew I would get sick from this experience and I am. Young adults work here with no management from what I can tell. The sushi does not have much flavor here. read more

If I can give a 0 star I would. I ordered sushi for the first time. Mine you I didn't pay for the all you can eat buffet price. I am disgusted at how the sushi turned out. Barely any fish , crabmeat or the filling. All I had was a freaking rice. I'm disgusted cause you all take my money almost to a 100$ Worth of order . Mine you I had to throw it away. Not even edible at all. Which I'll be posting the pics along with this. So for all new people trying to decide if you wanna go here . I would say save your money for another quality place. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Ordered delivery. Packaging is good and stable. The King Roll and Charlottesville Roll were delicious, but not very tight and a few pieces fell apart. Not a big problem, but not 5 star sushi. The seaweed salad was up to par and Crab Rangoon very Rangoony. If you're feeling some sushi and want it delivered, I'd go with this restaurant. The price is appropriate and flavors spot on. (I also appreciate that their ginger doesn't have food coloring to make it pink.) read more

[Worst Food Poisoning Of My Life] Used to be our favorite sushi place. Every week. We bought our own chopsticks, left them by accident, and they remembered us and returned them a couple weeks later. Then came the last time in early November 2023. They were busy, and food was slow to come out: perfectly understandable. We weren't upset about the slow service. We are very patient. However. When we did get food mybchicken was burned on the outside, raw in the middle. And an hour and a half later the second plate was dreadfully undercooked. All while children. Little little children bussed tables. Possibly 6 and 8 years old. They even wiped the tables down with dirty rags, grinding the leftover food into the wood until it disintegrated into a white grime. Not going back soon. read more

This place is terrible. The service was awful, the food was terrible. Came here tonight to find out they do all you can eat. I got the Las Vegas roll which was literally rice deep fried and it's suppose to have salmon and cream cheese. The roll was lacking all the fillings. Not sure how this place is still in business. Had another roll the Hawaii which was good but the shrimp inside that's deep fried was filled with grease. It's all you can taste. Cville needs good sushi I hate having to drive to Richmond for good quality food. read more

M Sushi - Las Vegas roll.... WTF def not a roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Stopped in for the Friday lunch. Very disappointed. Most rolls had hardly any of the fish in them. Stuffed with the crunch and cucumber with a tiny bit of salmon for color instead of taste. I had four different rolls that all tasted the same. Like rice. The only reason it gets two stars is that the people were friendly and I did see some things that other people ordered that looked better like the beef or shrimp option. But the eel roll had almost no eel on it. The Philadelphia roll had almost no salmon, etc, etc... read more

Ask Yelp for "All you can eat sushi" in C'ville and it will bring you here. It's completely accurate. Sure, you can order off the menu or even get some takeout but that's not why I was here. The idea is that if you order it, they bring it to you and you eat it. If you keep eating, they keep bringing. All of it made to order. Whether it's stuff from the kitchen like fried rice or shumai, or it's rolls and sushi, it's prepared right then and brought to you fresh. You eat, they bring you more. Amazingly, they bested me despite having two hand rolls (I love salmon skin) and some barbecued eel sushi and at least five different rolls. Yum! "Would you like to order some more?" as asked in a nice way and with no attitude. I really believe that they'd keep asking it the same. Salad bar is great. Cucumber salad, squid salad, regular salads and even a few other interesting things up there. Dessert bar was okay but you're not here for dessert. Oh, and FREE WIFI. Like I need an excuse to stay longer? Awesome! read more

I never see such a terrible sushi restaurant with poor-quality sushi and arrogant server like Sushi King in Charlottesville! The dragon roll in the menu shows that it has eel, avocado and fish eggs on the top. But for the real 8 pieces sushi, there are only three tiny eel and one piece avocado which are smaller than fingernail, and no fish eggs! The manager said that is what their sushi should be, it cannot be guaranteed that all sushi has the ingredients listed in the menu! It's my first time to see a manager arrogantly defends their cutting corners by sophistry. What a shame! read more

M Sushi - 8 pcs Dragon Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! Great prices (20 bucks per person) for all you can EAT SUSHI! They don't only offer sushi though, they also offer numerous dishes such as fried rice, edamame, teriyaki chicken, and so much more including icecream for the kids! It's located right pass the barracks shopping center @ UVA & directly across from the shopping palace with Costco & BJs. Best bang for your buck in the cville region & you will NOT leave hungry! read more

Went for all you can eat sushi for lunch. The price was good at $14, but the sushi left something to be desired. It wasn't very fresh or flavorful. The service was friendly but a bit slow also. The dumplings were good though I wasn't expecting them to be deep fried. read more

Sushi King is a really great deal at $16.99 for dinner with an additional student discount! The food is pretty great and they have a huge selection (amazing for AYCE). My favorites are definitely the nigiri, since those are very simple and a lot easier to eat than the rolls. They have some interesting roll variety, such as local things like the "Henrico Roll" or "Richmond Roll". Of the rolls, I really like the Sea Roll and the White Dragon Roll. I definitely do think that Sushi King gives you a lot more rice than necessary (especially for the nigiri), but they're just trying to fill you up. Overall, my biggest recommendation is ordering SMALL plates (only 8-10 pieces) at a time. Our waiter was very fast, so we were in no rush to get rolls out. If you are starting to get full, you can slow down with smaller and smaller portions. Take breaks in between with the miso soup or clear soup, since those will clear your stomach a little bit. Make sure to come hungry! read more

Ya'll, I love Sushi King I've been here maybe 5 times. $20 for unlimited food, including rolls, is a no brainer. They drizzle almost all their rolls with 2 or so sauces. Love the volcano roll. It's fried and that spicy mayo sauce is fire. The Richmond roll is also very good (with ginger). My waiter there once recommended that I try the hibachi shrimp if I like garlic. I LOVE garlic, and it was on point --I always order it when I go. The beef gyozas are mouth watering as well. I've had very good miso soup at some hibachi places, don't expect that here. I have never touched anything at the "salad bar" because it doesn't look very appetizing. This is a very causal spot--nothing extraordinary in terms of atmosphere or set up. Your food is pushed on a cart and arrives at your table kind of like at a dim sum spot. I can't tell if their policy has recently changed, but they up-charge you if you eat too little--which I completely understand because they are all you can eat. However, Even after I ate a "sufficient amount" (I was told I needed to eat two more pieces of sushi to hit that mark), the manager wanted me to pay a $3 up charge for a few pieces of sushi and dumplings if I wanted to take them to go. It's an interesting policy, and the waiter was very nice (as always) about explaining this to me. I've only had one bad waiting experience here, which I assume was because the person might be new. She was really slow about coming back to the table to check on us, and kept walking past to go to other tables. If you want to go somewhere you can get your $$$ worth and have a solid meal, this is the place. read more

The food is actually pretty good but the service is what is making me give it 3 stars. We came on a Friday night around 7-ish. It wasn't really packed but I noticed they didn't have a lot of servers as more people were coming in. The all you can eat for dinner is $16.99 not including drinks. There's also a salad bar that has a lot of variety and worth it to go get some of it before you get your first round. I suggest going to the salad bar in between your orders because it can take a bit long. We enjoyed the clear soup, shrimp tempura, beef dumplings and a bunch of eel and salmon sushi~~ we also had the dynamite roll too! The food was pretty good. There's enough variety of dessert like fruits and cakes at the salad bar. It wasn't as good as the main food but worth trying. I was a little disappointed in the service. Maybe someone was off or called in sick? Two servers seemed too small for the amount of tables that were occupied. If I come back, I may go again but not eager. read more

As a preface I love buffets and sushi kings is definitely one of the most well known buffets for college students. Their lunch buffet is unlimited hibachi and sushi for 13 dollars! I came in on a Thursday at 12:30pm and the place was not that crowded and we were seated immediately. The place it self is very spacious with a dessert bar. The food came out within 5/10m of ordering. I ordered the classic spicy tuna roll and a side of hibachi chicken. The sushi it self has more rice than it needed(to fill you up I assume). Enjoyed it completely i recommend asking for a side of spicy mayo sauce which is the PERFECT complement. Lastly I'd recommend this to any college students who are a fan of sushi and are very hungry. This is a great bang for your buck! read more

M Sushi - Menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

We have been going here for five years now. It used to be better. Our experience last night, at $22 per person, was our last visit. This is typical, and this is what occurred: First, the waiters pretend to not be able to speak to you in an audible voice. They pretend to not understand you. They disrespect you and are eager to get rid of their presence at your table. They never look at you. My partner finally, after many attempts to communicate with our waiter, asked "Are you in a hurry?" and the waiter pretends not to hear, mumbles something, will not answer my direct questions. There was only one other table occupied during this time, so it wasn't like he was busy. BTW, even though the pandemic is over they have not returned to the salad bar. Also they have omitted items like the salads from the menu, so if you don't know to ask you miss out. When it comes to the hibachi, the chicken and steak were so overcooked, dry, tasetless, just awful. The so-called tempura, which is not real tempura, but merely a panko-coated item, was definitely another downgrade from what we used to get there. The sushi was cheapened up. Instead of one extravagantly-presented strip, they doubled it, halving the length, enabling them to put only one small slice of (in this case) tuna atop TWO pieces rather than on EACH piece. The sushi was small. We compared it to the fantastic sushi we have been getting at the local Sam's Club store, and it doesn't even belong in the same league. We have decided to finally stop eating at Sushi King, and will purchase the Sam's Club sushi instead. I will make the simple clear soup and call it a meal. read more

Best plentiful sushi in town! I recommend trying the Hibachi steak or shrimp. It's delicious, savory and tender. And the best part is it's all-you-can eat! Order sushi rolls in different combinations. I like the menu pointing out which rolls are spicy and/or made of raw fish. Vegetarian options are available. While you wait for your food, you can partake of the small but delicious salad bar. Afterwards, you can get soft serve! The chocolate & caramel combo is delicious. The flavors rotate periodically. They DO have some alcoholic beverages as well. The only caveat to this all-you-can eat extravaganza is, that if you order something and don't eat the majority of the plate, you may get charged for wasting food. So don't waste food! read more

For the price, the all you can eat sushi is quite good. My friends and I have a lot of fun when we come here. The servers are also very attentive. I have come here many times and have NEVER had a problem. I have only done the all you can eat option, not carry out. I recommend the Orchard roll and the shrimp shumai. read more
