What diners say — our read

Reviews here split hard: 13 five-star against 2 one-star, with little in between. Where what it costs comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.8, so it reads as a strength. The staff is the next most common subject, in 35% of reviews (averaging 5.0).

Behind those, freshness and temperature is raised in 15% of reviews (4.7 average). 5 stars is the modal score, given by 13 of the 20 reviewers who rated. Of the 20 rated reviews, 16 sit at four stars or better and 3 at two or below.

On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a B (83/100) with 1 high-priority and 9 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. That inspection was on April 29, 2026. Ranked against Volusia County, it is safer than 34% of the restaurants we score. Among the items recorded were food from approved source and potentially hazardous foods properly thawed.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    Good pricing and delicious food. Lots of options and very very flavorful.

    The hibachi and sushi are really good!! For the price it’s amazing! The food was fresh and hot. I’ve been back several times! They close the kitchen kinda early like almost 30 min before actual closing time.

    EXCELLENT sushi and sashimi, very good quality fish! All you can eat but not buffet, we're stuffed from yellowtail sashimi and some of the best eel I've had, 10/10 will definitely be back soon!

    Everything here was amazing! We did the all you can eat menu and it was totally worth it! Every item of food we got tasted awesome! Alex was our server and he was great! He kept our drinks full and the food coming! Atmosphere was perfect! We would eat here every week if we lived close! A great experience!

    An incredible, meditative journey through the stages of human starvation. ​If you are looking for a quick bite, avoid Sushi King. However, if you are looking to test the absolute limits of human patience... this is the spot for you! ​My party and I stopped by for what we foolishly assumed would be a standard dinner. We ordered a few rolls, expecting a wait time measured in minutes. Instead, Sushi King decided to treat us to an hour plus performance piece on the passage of time. ​By the time the rolls actually touched the table, I was no longer a customer... I was a survivor. I’ve seen civilizations rise and fall in less time than it takes this kitchen to wrap seaweed around rice.

    Sushi was okay

  • June 9, 2026

    If you’re looking for the ultimate sushi experience, look no further. This place hits the trifecta: stellar service, exceptional food, and a massive selection that caters to every craving. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or adventurous specialty rolls, their diverse menu does not disappoint. Best of all, the pricing is remarkably fair, making premium-tier sushi accessible without the premium price tag. It's for sure a place to come back. Be aware, come hungry, the food is abundant and delicious!

    This place is fantastic, with a wide variety of sushi. Good every time.

  • June 8, 2026

    1st time there, great service, they explained the menu and answered any questions we had

  • June 4, 2026

    Way over priced now. It was great at the prices it had last year.

  • June 1, 2026

    Great Food Service was great will definitely be back. Can't beat all you can eat sushi and hibachi for the price.

  • May 25, 2026

    the food was really good and no but I had a waiter that was really good and very calm and super approachable. I don’t know if this is his name but his name is Mason and he has long braids.. exceptional he is great!

    Sushi King was always a favorite, but this new menu has maximized the flavor. It tastes really fresh and each roll is made with care. The costumer service is 10/10, our server Alex went above and beyond to fulfill our needs, he made the dining experience superb. I recommend Sushi King the next time you are in the Daytona area.

    When I order DoorDash I never EVER get what I ordered. Something is always missing and never get a refund.

  • May 13, 2026

    Hidden gem!! I love the sushi, it was amazing. Bobby is a little sarcastic but I guess that’s his personality. Authentic guy 😂 overall he did a great job and our group had a great time. 100% worth it, coming back and recommending.

    This place dont look much from the outside but the sushi is absolutely fantastic always made fresh to order. We always come here when we visit daytona. For the quality of food you cant beat the price.
