    Jalapeño bomb, Chili roll, New Kent Softball roll
    Damien C.

    Everything was delicious! So when you're coming up on the restaurant, it's easy to miss just because it's tucked in next to another building. It's a family operation so the owners also doubled as the cook and the serving staff. They were very friendly and we talked throughout lunch. Prices were VERY reasonable and the sushi was fresh. I particularly recommend the Jalapeño Bomb. I can't wait to come back and try other stuff on the menu, especially the bulgogi! Don't sleep on Sun's Cafe!

    Several sushi options, deep fried sushi on the foil.

    Favorite stop on the way to/from RIC. This place is amazing food n service. Really enjoy the fried pickles, sushi n dumplings. We tried several deep fried sushi, my first for deep fried. It was so tasty and nice portions. There is so many options, american comfort food, hibachi. Service is awesome!

    Delicious and quality sushi! Love supporting small businesses with good food and friendly service. Hidden gem for sure, go check it out if you're in the Richmond, VA area!

    Fried dumplings

    Sun's Cafe has everything you need. You need breakfast? They have breakfast. A burger? Sure thing. Sushi? No problem. Liver and onions? Yup, got that too- but not until after 11. Located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by rolling fields, ribbons of highways, and ever growing pockets of new housing, Sun's is at the crossroads of old and modern day America. A photo of the original building (still there, but now just a small section) hangs above the register. The owner told us that the photo was from the 30s, and I'm positive that this restaurant will stay exactly as it is until the family that runs it decides that they need a change. Because we are exactly the right group of people for such an eclectic menu, we ordered breakfast with a side of fried dumplings and sushi. We were going to order fried pork chops, but since it was before 11 our request was denied. There might have been some friendly attitude involved, and it might have made us decide to time our next visit for lunch or dinner. The fried dumplings and sushi were good. The dumplings were deep fried, but not overly greasy. The sushi and sashimi were not evenly cut, but were generous in portion and were fresh. The hamachi was served a bit colder than I'd have liked, but we were ordering it during breakfast hours, so I can't be upset. Breakfast was everything that makes me happy with a place like this. Light pancakes, crispy bacon, and creamy chipped beef. I'm positive that the chipped beef was not made in house, but it was served with just the right toast to sauce ratio. Our friend ordered the ribeye and was happy with his thinly sliced steak and eggs. Honestly, the only thing I wish Sun's had on the menu are a few hot Asian dishes, even if it was a rotation of daily specials. I'd love to be able to add an order of ramen or bulgogi to the diversity that already exists at my table.

    The jalapeño appetizer was awesome.

    I like this place, its unassuming but don't let the appearance fool you. I've had the sushi as well as stuff off the regular menu, its all good.

    New to the area and was in need of a new Sushi spot. Found this place on Yelp and heard great things, so I decided to give it a try. WOW! I am so glad I did. The food was excellent! Mission accomplished: I found my new sushi spot!!!

    The sushi is great. Well made and very fresh. It's the best sushi place I've been to in va and will continue going here when I can. The staff is very friendly,and the lady that ownes the place always remembers me even after I'm not in the area to stop by for months. Highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys sushi.

    The food here was really good. My kiddo specifically asked for cheese fries for his birthday lunch,…read moreso after asking for recommendations on Facebook, this place seemed like the best choice. It can get a little pricy, especially when you want to try all of the things, but the portions were plentiful and tasted delicious. We started with the cheese stick roulette, where they apparently prep a bunch of different cheeses for cheese sticks earlier in the week, and then just randomly grab six to deep fry when you order it. You have no idea what it is, they have no idea what it is. Pretty fun and delicious and we love cheese, so total win. We ended up cutting them in half just to check what they were before eating because the kids do not like anything remotely spicy and pepper jack is one of the cheeses, so we just had to verify it wasn't that so they could eat it and hubs and I ate those ones instead. I thought the tomato coulis it was served with was stellar, and the fruity jam was also amazing. I could not decide which one was better for dipping the cheesesticks in, and I ended up keeping both condiments when the cheesesticks were gone so I could dip my fries in them. A fantastic choice, they were both great with the fries. Which I might add, are AWESOME! They are scoopable fries. So... like a cross between potato skins and potato wedges. They were both crispy and soft and very unique and so worth the trip. They also use the cheese dip instead of just shredded cheese, so it stays creamy and gooey. All of the burgers sounded awesome and it took us a very long time to decide what we wanted (I had been looking at the menu days in advance to make sure I could decide) and we opted for the Southern Gentleman (pimento cheese, hot honey and fried chicken) and the PBJ and I can't decide which one I liked more. They were both completely different and completely delicious. If I had to make a recommendation... I'd say bring a friend, order one of each and split them like hubs and I did. Choices are for suckers. Kiddos opted for the cheese fries that he came for (which come with bacon, btw) and the kiddos cheeseburger meal, and they both loved them. The service was great too, even when this place was pretty darn crowded on a weekday lunch hour. Also, don't be fooled by the storefront driving by, this restaurant is waaaaaaaay bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. There was plenty of seating. The music was a touch too loud, but they also had some yummy sounding specialty drinks, as well as a bunch of local beers. My kids have been asking to come back pretty much since we left the restaurant.

Upon arrival, it was quite busy but the location still had plenty of seating. When we were seated, we noticed it was only one waitress waiting tables too. She was able to get us our drinks and orders pretty quickly despite working solo. I was the adventurous one in our group and ordered the pb and j cheese burger. Upon initial bite, it really tasted like a really well constructed burger. It was a double patty burger with white cheese. You don't really taste the jam. As you're chewing, the peanut butter comes out and it really makes the bite more creamy and definitely tastes of peanut butter. Overall, I would recommend fat boys for sure. Everyone thought the food tasted great and the portions were big. Definitely worth the trip!
