The best Japanese for miles. I always get the bento box for dinner. Great amount of choice to try different dishes.
Sushiya is a much smaller sushi house compared to others in the area. It's family owned and you will always have the same sever and the same two sushi chefs. The consistency is what makes the sushi so good! However, because this place is a smaller restaurant, you will also have to wait a little longer than you may be used to. But the sushi is well worth the wait. Everything comes out fresh, the flavors between the various rolls are independent of one another and the portions are impressive! There's something on the menu for everyone. Sushiya is also a low key atmosphere. You can go out for girls night, or wear your sweats; everyone is welcome. Definitely a great option for sushi in the burg.
The sushi is fabulous and reasonably priced, considering the usual price for such things. We had the sushi boat for two, which had nigiri, sashimi, and roll; it was fantastic and cost $65. The device is very attentive and polite as well.
First time trying this place for dinner tonight, Friday at 5:30pm. It was still pretty early so it wasn't crowded yet which was great because service was good. Only about 4 tables were occupied and there were 2 servers plus a sushi chef. We ordered the vegetable tempura appetizer $6, avocado sushi rolls $4, shrimp tempura sushi rolls $6, Sushi & sashimi combination platter B (see photo) assortment $29, dinner bento box B which had teriyaki shrimp, shumai, seaweed salad, shrimp & veggie tempura, CA rolls $25. We spent about $100 total with the tip. Everything tasted really good.. But the veggie tempura appetizer and the avocado rolls and shrimp tempura rolls were pretty small. But we will still go back again since the food and service were good.
Visiting Williamsburg from NC, and we love Japanese food so we decided to eat here tonight. The host greeted us with a sweet n cheery attitude and sat us right away. The waitress took our order with promptness. She was fantastic. The food was delicious! Service was fast and friendly.
The service was awesome, and the food SO GOOD. If you have a sushi craving like I did.... You'll be so happy you came here!
What a delicious meal. Had so many things. All delicious. Had suggested squid salad. That was super good. It's not fast, but worth it.
We had a great dinner here. We got the shumai as an appetizer and it was lite and delicious. We got 5 rolls: Kani roll, devils roll with jalapeño and sriracha, Spicy carb roll, shrimp tempura roll, and a spicy tuna toll. They were all fresh and super tasty. But nothing compared to the tempura ice cream. It was vanilla ice cream rolled in tempura batter and fried. It was a special but if you see it get it. Only issue was we got soda that tasted funny but they replaced it no issues. Good/fast service, great location, and delicious food.
