Everything was DELICIOUSSSS, from the crab rangoons to the yakisoba to the Mexican roll / whitehouse roll and sashimi. Generous portions and good flavor on everything. Servers are nice too and everything came out at a decent time! 10/10 would recommend. Adding to my fave ayce sushi spots! read more

I tried Daiwa Sushi for the first time on June 7th, 2025. Food: The food was okay for an all you can eat at sushi restaurant. I got the shrimp tempura roll and a couple of others. I also got their fried rice, and it was oily. I communicated that with my server, and they were able to take it off my ticket. The apps were pretty good. I liked the shrimp Shumi the best. The sushi rolls were wrapped well and did not fall apart as I tried to pick them up. Service: We were seated immediately but waited a bit for someone to come and take our order. We had to keep asking someone to refill our drinks and it took them a while to come back and get our next round of orders. Overall, the service was not bad, just the wait. Ambiance: The restaurant is near the military base, so they have a lot of miliary personnel dining at the restaurant. It spacious in the inside, but they need to clean their bathrooms. It is very dirty in there. Overall, the service was okay, and the food was okay. Would I come back? Yes, if I was craving for mid sushi. read more

You can't go wrong with the all you can eat lunch special at Daiwa Sushi! The price is right, there's a robot that brings you out your food, and the sushi is solid. The all you can eat doesn't only include sushi, but also items like the crab Rangoon! The only thing I would say is don't over order, because if you do, they charge extra. That being said I don't see why y out can't get 3 rolls and a crab Rangoon lol. read more

All you can eat sushi... came in got seated right away. Beer menu available. I felt like the staff would come back too often to check on what was our next item but that's better than waiting too ling for them to return. The robot at times came by itself to deliver the food so stay alert. Overall the sushi was good and will return because why not. read more

best sushi ever had，best in town，Nice, spacious sushi restaurant ，Had all you could eat sushi for $27 and was well worth it. Had a couple pieces of sushi and sashimi and two rolls along with sake (they have many choices). Even had a little robot server which I had only seen in Japan previously. All of it was outstanding and well worth the price! read more

Service was good... Chicken Yakisoba also good, but accompanying salad was overdressed. Portions were good considering the price was a little high for lunch read more

So my brother had ordered DoorDash from here because it was late in the evening and I was just getting off of work. Daiwa is about a 30 minute drive from us and it was our first time trying a different sushi restaurant. We didn't expect the food to be good, especially sushi being delivered vs. eating it fresh. We ordered $90 worth of sushi and food and we'd probably order from here again... However, the Rock and Roll sushi with spicy tuna on top tasted like rotten fish/meat. It was as if they mashed a dead tuna sitting in the sun washed up on shore, the taste was awful. The smell of it was like something died and we immediately had to spit it out. Every other sushi was delicious though. I've definitely had better Volcano rolls but it was decent. Crazy Monkey caught me off guard and it had to be my favorite along side the Hawaii and Sunshine roll. I believe the Crazy Monkey one had banana somewhere in it and I wasn't too crazy, no pun intended, to try it but I'm really glad I did. I'd most likely order that on the regular. The tempura was also still pretty good even through the car ride and wasn't soggy at all or stale in a way. The only downside was just that Rock and Roll sushi. I have never tasted anything like that in any of the sushi restaurants I've been too. I hope no one else experiences that at Daiwa. read more

The sushi wasn't that good. And gratuity was automatically included with no warning on the menu. I came with a table of 5 not 6.

This is my one off experience, but I have no intention of going back here based on this one experience. I ordered takeout via Yelp/GrubHub. Egg roll. It was cold. Not a good way to start a meal, and does not inspire confidence in the rest of the meal. I tried heating it up, but was obviously not fresh, tasted bad, and I couldn't eat it. Dragon Rolls. They don't look fresh, and didn't taste fresh either, and based on having a cold egg roll, not too far if a stretch to imagine that it wasn't. I couldn't finish this dish either. I don't like posting reviews that are this negative, so I don't imbelish, and just provide my experience. But I cannot recommend that you go here. A very bad experience. read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars. This is mine and my coworkers go to spot when we want sushi. Food is good, not my favorite place but it gets the job done. The waiters are all pretty nice. Make sure to come when they open. It's fills up pretty quick. The food can take a little while to come out. With tax, the all you can eat comes to $19 and change. To sum it up this place is good and I would recommend it. read more

Daiwa Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

very mid service. food took a while to come out, so long that i wondered if we were forgotten about at times. waiters weren't very attentive, but it also seemed to be only two of them. i think it's weird that if you order nigiri for the ayce menu they only give you one piece at a time and you have to specify how many pieces you want. fish/food was okay otherwise and its decent pricing for the ayce menu. read more

Everything was amazing it was on time and service was great definitely coming back to this place again will be back soon.

First and foremost I have to compliment the thing that people go to restaurants for in the first place: just plain good food. The sushi is great, and it helps that they have lunch prices on weekends. This is in contrast to places like Sushi King who charge for dinner all day on weekends. You get the dinner menu the whole day, but the fact remains. Secondly, I enjoy the service and how grateful everyone seems to be that you're coming to the restaurant to dine in the first place. You don't really get that at larger places, and it does warm my heart to know I'm contributing to a small business. I love the atmosphere there as well. It's sight of the place is really interesting to look at, and they even sell anime figures. This is my first review on this site and this is also going to be the first to earn my 5-Star rating. Keep it up Daiwa Sushi! read more

Daiwa Sushi - 54. Philly Roll 88. Volcano Roll 62. Spicy Salmon Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I got take out. Sushi was not that good. Salmon didn't taste fresh and the vinegar in the sushi rice was pretty strong. Probably will not order from here again. read more

Bathroom was filthy.... Need I say more? Sad. Do you really want sushi from a place with a filthy bathroom? Decor is Japanese but this is NOT a Japanese Restaurant. How is this place open? read more

OMG !!! Idk if this is a hidden gem or what but im glad I went here !!!! I first off the service is AMAZING!!!!!! The food omg was a good portion !!! My family & I went around 8:00 pm and their last order is at 9 & they didn't rush us at all!!! The restaurant vibe is like no other definitely an upbeat restaurant & we loved every minute of it !!! They are also KID FRIENDLY!!!!!!!! Our waiter was so kind . & for it being our first time there everything was so amazing !!! DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE !!! I RECOMMEND DOING THE AYCE OPTION..

The only negative was when ordering online it was hard to know what was included in each roll. But overall good process & good food, nicely decorated, service is fast too. Love the robot! read more

I had the chicken hibachi it was very bland. I will not be trying that again. The sushi was ok, will try again

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Food was absolutely atrocious! Service was slow and just didn't add to the experience in a positive way. The robot service is weird. I will never go back. read more

Great sushi and gyozas. Inside the restaurant was nice, could use some better lighten but other than that, typical Japanese buffet, not too bad. Food was ready fast and made to perfection. Servers were helpful. read more

I think they're terrific people. Daiwa Sushi is now called Sky Key Sushi. I really enjoyed the food.

Got the all you can eat, service was good but the food was not worth the $26.99 price tag. The quality was in the quantity and nowhere else. Do not recommend the clear soup, it is clear garlic garbage that tastes like dirty mop water. The miso soup was good and so was the dynamite roll, all other rolls, however, were forgettable. Ambiance was good, with good music selection. read more

This is a great hole in wall sushi restaurant. The service is friendly and fast. And the food is also really good. They have all you can eat sushi but we just got 4 rolls. The golden lobster roll is delicious- highly recommend! read more

The food from this Japanese restaurant was very good we ordered the hibachi chicken/shrimp and the beef/shrimp. The meat was plentiful on both plates. The food had a good flavor and lots and lots of vegetables. The meal came with some type of soup, a generous garden salad and a generous amount of shrimp fried rice. This meal can really be eaten over 2 days read more

The food is always so amazing every time I come in. The service couldn't get any better you just feel at home every time. I come here every roughly 5 days and every single time it's just perfect I couldn't ask for more. Easily the #1 sushi spot I've ever been to. Awesome people yummy food it's just amazing. Also the ambiance of the place is super clean very well taken care of never feeling rushed or anything just yummy food great service. My favorite restaurant ever. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere! This is probably THE BEST SUSHI in the Hampton Roads area. I absolutely missed GOOD sushi after leaving Japan but this place hits the mark EVERY TIME. Everything is made to order and his ALWAYS fresh (this is my favorite reason I love it here). The boba is also very very good! Highly recommend you eat here but come with time to spare because everything is made to order so HAVE PATIENCE with the staff. Lastly they do not rush you out the door so it's nice to have somewhere to eat where you don't feel like you're on a clock. ENJOY!!! read more

Daiwa Sushi - 83. Christmas Tree Roll 53. Crab Meat Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Perhaps it's because I came in without high hopes or the fact that they were playing Sharknado on the TV, but this was potentially the best all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant I've been to in the area. In comparison to other sushi restaurants in Hampton Roads, this food was quality, flavorful, and satisfying. The appetizers were tender and cooked perfectly. The sushi was presented well and made very well. I was really happy and pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the food here. The only complaint I have is that the customer service was lacking, and maybe even somewhat rude, but it's only because the waitresses were a middle school kid and maybe someone a little older. If you feel like you want to try a new sushi place, this is your spot. read more

My family and I wanted to eat sushi and chose Daiwa Sushi. They got a new owner, the food is better, and I love fried rolls. Here's All You can eat, you can eat a lot of things for 15.99. For dinner, choose 25.99, including dessert! Highly recommended. The service is great, and they give you little gifts！！！！！If you choose All You Can eat, you can get free refills when drinking milk tea! That's great! I like the decor. read more

I've been here three times now and I gotta say, for an all you can eat sushi place it's not too shabby. I definitely get my moneys worth ordering the sashimi. . If I had one change to make food wise, is with the chirashi sushi option. You put rice on the side and the sushi cuts I got were really thick. I recommend doing your chirashi in a bowl. Rice, season, then thin cut fish on top. It would make that a star for sure. Otherwise the staff has always been good, and the food is quite nice too. I also don't mind the music, so more anime songs in my opinion, lol. Also sometimes the table can feel sticky, which can be a turn off to most people. Definitely something to note but doesn't bother me much. Overall, happy to be staying close by while I'm here for training. 5 stars. read more

I've eaten lunch here several times with co-workers during the workday. I usually order either two sushi rolls at lunch or do the all-you-can eat lunch special for $12.95. I understand why they make you eat everything on your plate - because otherwise people would order 10 sushi rolls and eat a bite or two from each - they are trying to keep costs down and ensure people don't take advantage of their system. It works for me - I only order 2-3 sushi rolls each time and rice or edamame. Service has typically been pretty prompt though on my last visit, while the food was out rather quickly, we did wait a very long time to get the check. The sushi is decent and fresh. Well-priced and tastes fine to me. (I only order avocado rolls, spicy california and volcano rolls though...) I was also charged the incorrect amount on my last trip. I almost never keep lunch/dinner receipts but I'm glad I found this in the bottom of my purse because when it cleared my account it seemed really high unless I left a $10 tip. I should've been charged $12.50 and instead when it cleared over the weekend and Monday holiday on the following Tuesday I had been charged $21.50. I'm guessing it was a slip-up of the numbers - either way I called and they offered to fix it but I'll need to go down in person because I didn't want to give my debit card info over the phone. As long as they clear it up and don't argue or give me problems I'll still be a happy customer - if not - I'll update my review. read more

This place was pretty mediocre! I came with my crew of 10 during lunch. The interior is nothing to look at, there were screws in the wall where artwork may have lived in a past life. The tables were weeble wobble. They also looked dingy with a hint of dirty dish water cloth odor . Unfortunately, I decided to eat anyway because I was starving and wanted to give it a chance. I ordered a Chicken Teriyaki Box which looked good from the menu and recommended by a co worker. My philly roll was fresh and came fast with the exception of it falling apart. Then the box came, that was trash! The tray didn't look to clean and the salad was sour smelling. The chicken had more water on it than sauce. I asked for extra, that NEVER came ‍. The only thing that was good was my lemon water and vegetable roll. Personally not for me. I will stick to Sushi King! read more

Bought by new owner... all you can eat sushi and free refills on bubbly tea! The service was awesome and the new owner came over to chat with us and tell us about the new changes. a must try to anyone in the area. Mline and my husbands favorite sushi in VA. read more

This could possibly be the worst place I have eaten. The place was dirty. The service was aweful we could not even get our food right, the salads came after our mai courses, and the food took way too long. Also my hibachi steak was a joke. It was worse that something out of a can. Our server disappeared in an all you can eat place which means they don't want you to eat. I would not go back there if I was starving read more

We have visited Daiwa Sushi quite a few times now and they haven't disappointed us yet. I usually get the chicken teriyaki, yakisoba and hibachi chicken or steak every time because I was never a huge fan of sushi but I recently tried it from here and it was very good. My picky toddler even loves it here. The staff is super fast and friendly. The one thing I can complain about is one time the soda I ordered was flat but ever since then I've had zero issues. This is our new favorite spot even over sushi king. read more

First time at this place and met the new management. The food is very delicious and the staff is very welcoming. Definitely loved it!

Update: I love this place but they need to do something about Kelly. She is extremely rude, acts annoyed whenever we order something else, and asked if i was going to finish my current food before ordering more. Yes, I can read the signs that say you have to finish everything. I come here all the time but I may have to switch restaurants after my experience with Kelly. Old review: Love this place!! I go here a lot for AYCE...so much better than Sushi King. They really need to market more because it's always pretty slow. I guess that means more service and more sushi for me though! I just don't want it to go out of business. Good price for all you can eat. read more
