Food: Decent food, yet unremarkable

At Sushi King, expect fresh and flavorful dishes like Sea Bass Misoyake, Yellowtail and Salmon Sashimi, yet unremarkable in terms of creativity. For the raw lovers, the Toro Nigiri is a must-try delight. However, diners with varying palates might find themselves let down due to limits in variety.

  • Great Quality

    Freshest fish, excellent quality, without a hefty price tag.

  • Okay Taste

    Food was average with decent prices and large portions, but nothing special.

  • Bad Value

    Prices too high considering the quality; it's overpriced for what you get

Vibe: Uninspiring and rundown ambiance

The ambiance at Sushi King is a let-down, with its cheap run-down bathrooms and tight seating spaces that render it unapt for date nights or trendy hangouts. The overpriced drinks with limited wine selection make the whole dining experience somewhat discouraging.

  • Okay For Dates

    Good for dates, though some aspects may not appeal to everyone equally.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Nonexistent ambiance, cheap run-down bathrooms, and claustrophobic dining space.

Perks: Decent service, near to kid-friendly

The service is professional and quick causing lesser discomfort amidst the claustrophobic seating arrangements. The presence of children at tables and the availability of free street parking are positives. However, the absence of outdoor seating and reservations open up the negatives of the dining experience.

  • Easy To Park

    Many reviews mention easy, available and free street parking positively.

  • Okay Service

    Service varies from quick and attentive to slow and rude, depending on busyness.

  • Bad For Groups

    Small space with limited seating not suitable for large groups or parties.
