2.5 so I'll round up to a 3. I really wanted to like Sushi 99, but this is the highest rating I could give it. Completely empty on a Friday night, ok. Our server was very nice from the get go. She brought us soup (I didn't try it but my boyfriend liked it) and holiday roll (fried krab) on the house. The holiday roll was very good. We ordered chicken skewers appetizer which was also very good and the portion was pretty big considering the price (less than $5). I thought we were off to a great start. Now, for the sushi - this is where it goes downhill. We ordered a crunchy roll, a mango shrimp roll, and a chicken tempura roll. Sadly, all of them were much less than mediocre. The mango roll has waaaay too much mango and nothing else, so it's super sweet yet super bland. The chicken and crunchy roll completely lacked flavor. The rice was very mushy (not in a good way) and the temperature of the rolls was weird. Hate to say it, but easily the least favorite sushi I've ever had. I have absolutely no idea how people rave about the sushi here. It's not good at all! Service was very nice and everything except the sushi was good. Maybe if you come here to not eat sushi, you'll like it. read more

Quaint, peaceful restaurant that comes with a free soup when you come in. Their sushi rolls are a bit pricey, but satisfying. Tried the holiday roll, which came in a tiny portion but tasted heavenly and the dynamite roll was surprisingly delectable. The steak hibachi came with an average salad, but the hibachi itself was divine and worth every penny. read more

The sushi and lunch specials here are what makes it great, the sweet potato roll is delish! I've had better habachi, but it's also pretty cheap as far as habachi goes so I'll just chock it up to getting what you pay for. I've only ever ordered take out so I'm not sure if it's any better dining in. You get a lot of food for the price! read more

Wow! So last night I had the lovely opportunity of going out to eat at this place. I was already an avid customer of Sushi 99, but would always take the food to go. This time we decided to dine in and OMG I am so happy we did. The customer service here is great, very attentive staff. The place was pretty packed last night for dinner, which to me is always a good sign of a healthy, delicious restaurant. As soon as we sat down within minutes we were brought miso soup and the holiday roll on the house. OK, this is where they got me... food on the house? Oh they know how to treat their customers well! The soup was tasty and the holiday roll, absolutely amazing! I believe it was crab wrapped in a tempura batter, but all you need to know is that it was so amazing! I ended up ordering the Crunchy and the Rock N Roll, both 5 stars! My husband got a whole mixture of about 4 different rolls, which I can't remember the names, but they were also extremely tasty and were presented so beautifully on his plate. The sushi here is perfectly made and very fresh tasting. I am so happy that we have this amazing little spot down the street from us. The food is also very reasonably priced, especially compared to other sushi spots. If you are in the area, this is a must! read more

We were going home to South Florida (3h Drive ahead) and picked this place for the reviews and the food on display. With a long bicycle ride in our bones and an empty stomach it looked like a good place to refill. Unfortunately we did not get to taste the food. We had called ahead to see if they would accommodate us with a place to sit, while feeling secure about the bikes we had in tow. After we arrived that changed for no apparent reason, but we suggested a table were we could safely store the bikes and not being in anybody's a way. After reviewing the menu and starting to pick some items we were asked to leave in a not very nice way. Apparently no love for bicyclists, for that reason we will never return! We are used to having our bikes around and are picking places where we assume we won't bother anybody with them, but still don't have to worry about them. We always understand when we are kindly turned away because there is simply no space and a concern for safety... but that wasn't the case here, that is what made us quite upset... and of course the empty stomach didn't help... we ended up finding another place to fill up before going on the nightly Turnpike trip, a place that excepted us and our concern for the bikes with a smile. read more

Very surprised that this place got such high ratings because the food was terrible. Their sushi roles are so small and made cheaply. My volcano role was a joke. I can't believe I ate it. We left to finish our dinner elsewhere. read more

Since my daughter and I were in the area we gave Sushi 99 a try for dinner. We arrived and promptly were promptly seated. Drink orders were taken followed by a complimentary appetizer and soup being delivered - before we even ordered which was a very nice touch. The appetizer was AMAZING. . . it was a fried sushi roll which was one of the best things my daughter and I ever had; the soup was average. We ordered 2 sushi rolls and while my higher priced roll was good, my daughter's regular sushi roll was 'ok' - not much flavor and dry Service was excellent. We'd give Sushi 99 another chance, but would definitely get the appetizer roll. This place is worth a try. read more

This is a good place for sushi, prices are pretty affordable and sushi is pretty delicious. The food took a little long but they have great customer service,very nice girls and we got some sushi samples for free which were very good. read more

After a long day of helping the daughter prepare for her move we were hungry gals. I'm a sushi gal, but my daughter isn't. But since Mom came all that way to help her, she suggested going here since it's near her apartment. We walked into a very clean and bright space and were immediately seated. Our orders were taken quickly and a small Holiday Roll was brought out to try. It was crab with cream cheese and fried. WOW it was yummy. Even the daughter was loving on this one. This was followed by two bowls of miso which comes with each meal as well. I ordered some California rolls and a soft shell crab roll while the daughter ordered the Hibachi Chicken. My California rolls were standard fare, but the soft shell crab roll was outstanding! Often I'm leery of ordering soft shell crab in new places because you just don't know what you'll get. I guess the long day and hunger made me forget about that...and I'm glad! The daughter's plate was loaded with chicken, veggies and rice and she eventually gave up trying to eat it all and just finished her chicken. She say she will be back...I'll second that! Next time I plan to be a bit more adventurous....and I can't wait! read more

First time here at Sushi 99, and it was a great experience. After a long day, my family and I came here for a bite to eat close to home. We were all pleasantly surprised! Great prices, great portions, excellent customer service and the food was out in a good time. I would recommend to others, for sure. We will be back (soon!) read more

I'm no sushi connoisseur but this place was great. The food was delicious, staff was friendly, restaurant was lovely on the inside (and clean), and prices were reasonable. I see no reason to not give 5 stars. Favorites sushi rolls of mine were Phoenix Roll and Sushi 99 Roll. read more

This is a very nice small restaurant. They have a nice menu with different choices. I loved their vegetable fried rice. Ate a tempura shrimp plate very good. read more

My favorite place to get sushi! Always so fresh and packed with flavor. Have never had something I didn't like here. Also very fast and attentive service, good prices. read more

For the price the sushi is subpar. The staff was friendly, but nothing really stood out to me. They make everything really quick, which is nice. I like that there's always parking and it's fast for a quick lunch. read more

I was curious about the mixed reviews of this place and now I understand..here goes my mixed review! The good- The decor and presentation were nice and my friend enjoyed the sweet mango roll a lot. Complimentary clear soup and holiday roll! The disappointing- I always order the spicy tuna roll as a "litmus test" when I go to a new sushi restaurant and_ it is my favorite roll. Unfortunately, this roll was not spicy at all and was just meh. They also put tempura flakes in it, which I'm generally not a fan of and feel it is just filler. I wouldn't order it again. I also had the TNT roll which was okay..if you like white sauce. The seaweed salad was good but wish there was more of it. While I'm not generally critical of service (I'm all about the food!), when the service detracts from the meal it does make a difference..the server was not communicative and seemed bothered when we would ask questions. Also our food came out and different times so I was done eating a long time before my friends' food came out. The prices seemed a bit high (e.g. $13.95 for tofu teriyaki) Overall, I might be willing to go back to give it a second chance if I'm in the Avalon Park area and I might try a specialty roll, but there are definitely better sushi places in Orlando like Mikado Sushi. read more

Pretty darn good for a small joint in a strip mall. Friendly staff, free samples. Visited early evening on Saturday, no waiting. I'm glad we checked the place out. read more

Came in with a friend after finding it on Yelp and was pleased. Everything was really good and fresh, including the complimentary soup and house appetizer, a tempura crab with spicy mayo and eel sauce. Would definitely come back. read more

This is not my first time at Sushi 99, I have been here many many times, it was a frequent spot for me when I used to live in central Florida, it only keeps getting bettter and better. I am an avid sushi fanatic, and I have been unable to find better sushi anywhere else. Everytime I am in town, I have to stop and this Japanese Marvel! Parking at Sushi 99 is very easy, it is located at a plaza that provides plenty of parking. At peak hours, it may take a minute or two to find a spot. Service is excellent, you are welcomed with a free soup and fried carb sticks while you look at your menu, the staff is helpful and pays close attention to detail. The chefs at the sushi bar are glad to answer any questions. The restaurant provides both table and booth sitting, the ambiance is dim lights with Japanese decor, the restaurant is quite, an easy spot to have a conversation. The bathrooms are clean, the restaurant is organized and spotless. I have personally met the owner before, he treats his staff very respectfully and keeps that culture in the restaurant resulting in positive results. The food is incredible, everything tastes absolutely amazing. The lava roll and Phoenix Roll are my favorites, but the menu provides an endless amount of options for everyone. The ingredients taste fresh, the sauces well prepared, pair your roll with a cold beer for a great meal with family and friends read more

Very clean! I love sushi but most places around it is not very clean. Sushi 99 is so clean. Makes me comfortable eating what I order. They bring you an appetizer roll with your meal. The miso soup is clear and fresh. They have speciality rolls that look and taste delicious. read more

Sushi is always delicious and the service is always friendly! Love the Holiday appetizer I highly suggest trying that. I have yet to dine in but if it's as good as the takeout then you will not be disappointed. read more

Love this place. Clean, modern, quiet and everything is made fresh to order. Every roll that I have tried has been delicious. Staff is friendly and management is always making guest comfortable and often offer samples of things on the menu. This is my regular sushi spot and I visit about once a week. Best sushi I've had in Orlando to date. Well done sushi 99! read more

It's OK, I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. At times it seems a bit heavy on the mayonnaise sauces. An average sushi restaurant in my opinion. read more

One of the best sushi places in Orlando and in United States of America. Great service.

I wanted something light so I ordered salmon fried rice and some sushi. Nothing fancy was ordered and certainly met expectation on flavor. I found it odd that the fried rice was simply a bed of rice with a filet of salmon atop of it. It was visually disappointing, however was surprisingly flavorful. I have ordered sushi from here before and have not been disappointed so all in all, I will continue to order from here. I'm looking forward to dining in at some point in the future as well. read more

Delicious as usual! Large portions, plenty of leftovers!

Sushi 99 is tucked away in a shopping strip but it's not to be overlooked. The sushi game is strong in both taste, options, and presentation. We have been going here rather frequently since it's opened and it's always consistent. It's not super fancy but it's good stuff. The service is great and you get free soup and crab roll of sorts when you dine-in. We have done both dine-in and carry out. Both great options depending on your mood. read more

Been here several times! Nothing bad has been served to us here. Love the free appetizer roll! Yum yum

Amazing... And right in our neighborhood! Quite impressive! We ordered sushi dreamboat! Fabulous! I've had plenty of Japanese fare in SoCal, and this is really, really good! read more

The food here is AMAZING. I had a tuna roll, crab salad and edamame and they were all perfect. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Great sushi, great service. Never disappointed whenever we visit. We sometimes order off the menu and the chef surprises us every time. You can tell them you like a certain ingredient and the chef will whip up a creation in minutes. They are our favorite fast sushi eatery in east Orlando. read more

The quality is excellent, we always go back. We love dynamite roll. They are nice and have great service

Sushi 99 is hands down my favorite local sushi place, especially to dine in. The servers and staff are always friendly but more than anything, the sushi is great. My go to rolls are the Salmon Katsu, Volcano, and Highway 17. You cannot go wrong with this place. Side note, I haven't tried anything besides the sushi. read more

This place never disappoints! Quick service and amazing sushi. You can't go wrong with the specialty rolls. I'll let you know what we ordered and how it was. We always order something new. read more

Best choice of sushi in Avalon Park. Clean. Consistent and tasty. Not as authentic compared to sushi in other areas, but if you're looking to get your sushi fix this is a great place to try. We get the spicy tuna and salmon roll. They usually add tempura flakes in the mixture, but we ask to leave it out. Their kelmon roll is a good sushi option and shrimp udon noodles is a great kitchen entree as well! We usually call in and order out. It's a hit or miss with the servers and whoever answers the phone. They can be really rude or really nice. read more

This is by far one of the best sushi spots I've visited since I've moved to Orlando. It's conveniently close to the house, the staff are friendly, and the sushi is amazing, and the price is reasonable!!! If you love teas... recommend the hot green tea. I've been there 3x and they've been extremely accommodating. Recieved 2 dishes on the house when visiting with my husband. I plan on visiting frequently for my sushi fix...Great place!!! read more

The restaurant itself is very small but kind of comfy feeling. If only the servers made me feel as comfortable as the restaurant setting itself! (Rolls eyes.) What I mean by that is...no lie, every 2 minutes the servers would come up to my table and ask if we were ready to order. Even though it was obvious that we were not! I mean between the servers, let's be honest. Its all about body language and please we all need to know that it is not normal or acceptable in any way to bug the table you are serving literally every minute or two! It's very irritating for us (the guests!) and it also brings off the impression that the servers are rushing us out. Not cool! Also sadly I have to say, the quality of the food was horrible and didn't make up for the edgy service I had to endure. Please don't waste you're money at this establishment. I have been to almost every sushi bar in Orlando, and Sushi99 is by far the WORST place to eat sushi. You've been warned. read more
