What People Are Saying About Sushi King

The Owner

Sushi King

Owner

Welcome to the Sushi King, where you will find the most amazing and family oriented establishment around. Filled with good energy, this restaurant is a casual sushi lounge with a live piano player that sets the tempo all week long. As well as a full bar that carries all of the newest liquors that a bartender could possibly pour. It's said that this is the best place for Sashimi and the robata grill is to die for. This is no ordinary sushi restaurant. If you want an exciting new place to have a great time, with great dishes, at a reasonable price, your taste will tell you.

In Short – The modern decor of black tables and artsy, sea-green Plexiglas partitions extends to the sushi bar at the rear. White tablecloths and a piano player add to the elegant atmosphere. Executive Chef Sam Wu prepares traditional Japanese food with a careful eye toward the aesthetic. Choose from a wide variety of sushi and sashimi and close to 40 rolls. Creative entrees include kami nabe hot pots, Chilean sea bass and ishiyaki (beef cooked on a hot stone).

horrible service

by emmacpb

we went with our kids for lunch and the server was the rudest person we have had. She never smiled, never came by and gave nasty looks to our kids all the time.

The susho wasn't so good either for the price they charge. Not going there again

service is better

by icancooktoo

I came back with some trepidation. Last time service was reaaaaaally sloooooow. That was for lunch in December '08. Ate there tonight and everything arrived promptly. Waitress was attentive until it got pretty busy, but she was still within the bounds of respectable service. Last time, I thought I'd been totally forgotten. Ordered two specials and a sushi roll. Both specials were good (sake steamed clams and a yellowtail roll concoction). Mango sorbet is very good.

The only weird and unpleasant point was that I was struck at the door with that body odor/pencil shaving/cumin smell. At first I thought it was coming from one guy standing near the entrance, but once I was seated I realized it permeated the whole place.

  • Pros: had some interesting menu items & specials
  • Cons: what's that smell?
