We love Suns Cafe! Quiet little country restaurant. Sun is always chatty with her customers. Food is great! We are so happy they opened hibachi in the back. Fills up quickly as they only have 2 tables for hibachi so you'll want to make reservation. Sushi is good too but sometimes made a little messy. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! If you want fantastic sushi this rivals the best of them and I consider myself somewhat of a sushi snob. My friend and I had the Unagi roll, Hawaiian Volcano, Shogun roll, and Wasabi roll and each bite was scrumptious! If you are passing through you must try. read more

So we were trying to find non-fast food on the way to williamsburg. I was suprised by sushi in the middle of nowhere VA but I was impressed. From the outside (and decor) it looks like a small, county style diner but the sushi is very fresh and yummy. My husband had the Philadelphia roll and the sun's roll. I got the deluxe California roll and soft shell crab roll with eel sauce (forgot the name). It was all good, but I liked the crab one best. The service was good, the owner/server was busy but friendly and the food came out in about 15 min. Highly recommend this place. read more

Stoped in for lunch on the way home from Great Wolf back to MD. Very good food! Amazing service. Very friendly staff! We had the Lion King Roll, the Caterpillar Roll, and the Chicken Deopbab. All very good. Very interesting location. Looks like and old house maybe? Eclectic decor. Cute place. read more

Small, family owned. Wouldn't think New Kent could have amazing sushi and they definitely didn't disappoint. Absolutely delicious. We will be back in the near future. read more

Coming from Vinnaterri golf course, found this place in the middle of nowhere. Doubt it was a sushi restaurant especially since sushi needs to be fresh. Started to order non sushi items, but when other customers told us to try the sushi, was shocked on how fresh and how good the sushi was. Try the signature Sun's roll, tropical roll, California roll deluxe, and the monkey brain appetizer. We also ordered the three cheese burger, mushroom burger, and meatloaf. Everything was great and the service was funny, entertaining, and accommodating. read more

Moved to New Kent last year from the beach. Everybody raved on this place but was not overly impressed. Food was good but definitely not great and the service was ok. read more

Sun's is fantastic. They are back serving inside but we usually do take out. The sushi is the best I've had in the Richmond area. Hibachi is also very good. It is not fancy but the food is amazingly wonderful. read more

Stopped here on the way back from OBX. Not speedy for someone on a road trip but so much higher quality than faster food. Owner operated and friendly. read more

Delicious sushi! I didn't have high expectations because of the look of the place and the diverse menu but don't let the place fool you. This place is worth the stop. I had yellowtail nigiri, unagi and the Bronco. All delicious and in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. read more

I found this place on the way home from the hanover tomato festival in mechanicsville. I ordered the meat and veggie dumplings as a starter. The dumpkings are fried korean style mandoo. They were the best I've ever had! They were crispy and delicious and the filling had a wonderful flavor. They came with an excellent soy/vinegar sauce. For the entree, I ordered the fried lake trout, my mother ordered the salmon cakes. The trout came perfectly cooked, the breading was not too thick and not too salty. The fish was very fresh. The salmon cakes weren't salty or greasy. My side of broccoli was terrific, as was the kale my mom ordered. The salad that came with the meal was made better when I requested the ginger dressing. They make the ginger dressing onsite, whereas the normal dressing are ken's streakhouse pouches I'd definitely drive back to this place, although I live over an hour away. read more

Very good! My husband enjoyed the sushi. Teens were pleased by the burgers and BBQ sandwiches. I had a ribeye steak dinner for $15 :) Great prices, friendly service, pleasant experience. read more

I've seen so many good reviews that I thought I'd give it a shot. So absolutely disappointed! I ordered Ebi.....expected a nice large butterflied sweet shrimp on top of sticky rice....what I got were ridiculously skinny, two on each ebi because they were SO tiny, obviously precooked frozen thawed shrimp. They were tiny, watery, and not good. I will not be returning. read more

Love this place. I have to save 5 stars for a perfect experience but my lunch and Sun's with a coworker totally made me want to come back. I hope this place does very well. It's so hard to find anything like this place anywhere near Quinton. Thank GOD! read more

Awesome sushi in the middle of nowhere! I think we found our go-to sushi spot from now on. I had the Double 007 Roll and the Geronimo Bomb. Delicious! The sweet tea was on point as well as the service. So glad we stopped in. read more

Such a cute little hole in the wall restaurant and the service was very good. The chef came out to serve us the sushi and you could tell that he took great pride in his craft. If you're in new Kent, definitely worth the stop to eat there. read more

Wonderful sushi and also a great American style and kid's menu. Our first visit was today but we will definitely be back!!!

Excellent sushi! The woman working there, owner?, was hilarious! I would return just to see her. we had yellowtail jalapeño, eel niragami, salmon sashimi, and dragon roll. read more

Sun's cafe is the last place you'd expect to find amazing sushi. I met up with a buddy here as it was the halfway point, driving through vineyards and losing cell service I was confused. I came up on a humble home turned restaurant which gave it a cozy feel. I ordered three rolls of sushi (I can't remember the names) and they were made to perfection. Living in Virginia Beach you'd think the quality of fish would trump this "mom and pop" restaurant, but it absolutely did not. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and quality of food received at Sun's. read more

My favorite sushi place in the Richmond area. Awesome food, friendly staff, great service. Try any of the specialty rolls...tropical is fantastic with the mango. American menu also. Worth the trip out to Quinton. Best kept secret in New Kent!!! read more

Wow! Beautiful and fresh sushi. This beats all of the places I have tried in Richmond downtown and Henrico and Hanover County. The salmon is pink like it should be, the avocado garnishes are green like they should be. The rice is white and cool and fresh. The inside had a few patrons. I did not have it the dining experience because ordered takeout. There were about four couples dining in at 3:30 in the afternoon and they were enjoying themselves. I am so glad that I finally found a healthy and fresh sushi restaurant. read more

Awesome personal service. Sun remembers and knows what you want when you walk in the door. Don't know how she does it.

I heard about Sun's Café from my mother a month or so ago. Her, my sister, and my stepdad ventured out of the house one evening looking for sushi. They (my mother) found Sun's Café on Yelp. My mother cannot eat out without consulting her food compass, Yelp, to point her in the right direction. It's close to home, which is few and far in-between when it comes to restaurants because we live in BFE (Bumble Frick Egypt). Apparently, it was quiet the experience for them. Going into this blind date with only a brief stalking of their yelp profile, my family took a risk and ended up at a hole in the wall that served monkey brains, sushi, and burgers all on the same menu. But, I guess that's the risk you take when you look for food in BFE. So, the other day, I finally got the chance to have my own Sun's Café experience. From my mother's description of the place, I was visualizing an eerie run-down shack with a worn banner on the front or side that had "Sun's Café" printed on it. I imagined it to be somewhere between the "abandoned but obviously occupied by crackheads" stage or the "prime candidate on an episode of Fixer Upper with Joanna Gaines'" stage. But to my surprise Sun's Café is currently getting an exterior face lift with a new paint job. When I pulled in I saw a cute, newly painted yellow and purple building, decent landscaping, and a large sign outside that I could see from half a mile up the road. While it is easy to seem like you have it all together on the outside, Sun's Café exterior was misleading (as some dating profiles can be when going on blind dates) because on the inside it seemed to be a jumbled, hodgepodge of furniture with random decorations and had an overall drab feeling. There was no sense of design, flow, or theme to the restaurant. Most sushi places that I have been to in the past have put some effort into submerging the customers into another culture. I was simply transported to a redneck twist of a sushi restaurant. As soon as I walked in, I received blank stares and then a woman who I have assumed to be the owner or co-owner of the establishment was casually sitting with customers and when I asked where to sit, she responded "anywhere you'd like, but not the floor". Personally, I appreciated her sarcastic humor. But being a part-time hostess, I winced at her comment. I have been trained to try my best not to offend customers, and sarcasm is easily mistaken as insulting. After sitting at a table, and not on the floor, we were given two menus. One was a sushi ordering menu. If you don't know what that is, it's a piece of paper with all the sushi rolls the restaurant provides with boxes next to them for you to check off. That is then taken to the back as your order ticket. The other menu included any item you would find at an American-style restaurant. I found this to be odd, since I thought this was a sushi place, but maybe the ability to get a burger at a sushi place is appealing to some. If the theme of Sun's Café is hodgepodge randomness, then I guess it isn't odd at all... DINNER IS SERVED. My sister and I ordered mozzarella sticks, and three rolls of sushi. I love mozzarella sticks and was just plain curious to see if this sushi restaurant would deliver decent mozzarella sticks. I was pleasantly surprised. They were delicious, gooey, and perfectly fried, better than most chain restaurants. Then came the sushi rolls. They were served on a piece of plywood which seemed unconventional, but the display was still very nice. These pieces of sushi were huge (a plus on a blind date). We had two California rolls: one plain, one crunchy, and then a crunchy shrimp tempura roll. Each roll was delicious and incredibly filling. The California crunch role was my favorite. It was wrapped in a light layer of fried breading and had a sweet sauce drizzled on top of it. The perfect mixture of sweet and salty. I will be returning for my next sushi craving. Overall Sun's Café was a casually leaving your number on the receipt at the end of the blind date experience. I enjoyed my time at Sun's Café and would be interested in coming back, but I didn't fall in love with Sun's Café. I left with a full stomach and not an empty wallet (crucial for a poor college student like myself). For an order of mozzarella sticks and three full roles of sushi it was only $27 dollars. Although, the outside appearance is misleading of the interior appearance, there was no atmospheric luxury to the place, the service was mediocre, and it is in BFE, I came for good sushi and that's exactly what I got. Actually, I got sushi that exceeded my expectations and crushed my assumptions. read more

Great food and great service! Love the owners! Great sushi and love her dumplings. Best burgers around!

Weve tried to eat here 3 times now since they have added hibachi. We were sadly disappointed for the 3rd time. The hostess and staff had no idea what was going on, and there was, "no room" at the hibachi station--even though there was an empty station because they had ONE chef on a Friday night. We were told we should have called ahead. We will NOT be back for a 4th attempt. read more

We were a little wary about a sushi restaurant in New Kent, but this place blew us away. It had huge sushi rolls, great prices, and a friendly staff. It is also has two restaurants with a normal cafe style menu with breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you don't have to get sushi if you are not in the mood. The kids polished off some ice cream to wrap up dinner. We will definitely stop here again in the future. read more

Sun's Cafe - Pink Lady! It was a sushi special. So good!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Quinton, Virginia

What a hidden gem! Heading back from Williamsburg, desperately in search of something other than burgers or barbecue, when we found this place on Yelp. The sushi was excellent and reasonably priced. The regular menu was, surprisingly, not at all Japanese or even Asian. My friends enjoyed chili and fried trout. My niece and I tore into sushi. Everyone walked away with a happy belly. The owners are friendly and accommodating. A true neighborhood restaurant, in all the best ways. read more

We were wine tasting on the way back from Newport News and found this gem for lunch! Please don't be put off by the exterior or interior... This is the epitome of hole in the wall with excellent food! We tried a sushi roll as well as a couple items from their extensive home cookin menu. Definitely worth a detour off 64 or along good wine tasting route. read more

I rarely leave bad reviews but this place was a nightmare. It was a hot day and there was no central air conditioning so it was hot inside and smelled weird. We waited over 30 minutes for 3 sushi rolls (well it was supposed to be 4 but they forgot one) and they put the wrong sauce on one of them. I told them the item was not made as advertised (pointing to the menu where it clearly states the ingredients) and they told me I was wrong. Employees were shouting at each other in the kitchen. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Very disappointed. read more

The sushi here really gets the job done! It's flavorful and quite mouth watering. The decor here is a bit off and out of style. The service is pretty average and typically okay. However if you and your guests go to the new hibachi grill here you MUST order something from the grill or you cannot sit there... even if everyone else you are with orders from the grill. At least that is what I was told. I also tried to order a side of the fried rice while in the main dining area and was told I had to order the larger portion (more expensive) if I wanted it from the grill... read more
