I will premise this with a disclaimer: I am not a sushi girl. I don't eat seafood. I visited Sushi 99 for lunch with a friend for lunch and was excited to try some new hibachi in the Avalon area. The lunch special is $8.95 and comes with soup/salad and some sort of krab appetizer thing which I let my friend have all to herself. It'd be nice to have a non-seafood option to start off with! My friend ordered a sushi/sashimi combo. The server seemed a little put off when she asked which fish was in the sashimi but asked the chef and reported back to my friend. My hibachi was good but I've had better closer to my house. I was pleased it included stir fried udon noodles which I love. I took those and some rice home since the meal was fairly large. My friend was a little surprised when she got her bill since she ended up spending $16 after her special dish and drink. Keep an eye on your total! read more

Sushi 99 - Steak hibachi lunch special for 8.95 - Japanese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Sushi 99 in Avalon Park is ran by the same owners of the Sushi 99 in Port Orange. Three and a half stars rounded up to four. Good sushi for the area. There are a far better places in quality around Orlando, but if you live in Avalon Park this is a nice convenient location that provides decent sushi. We did not order any of the hot foods, but I do hear that their hibachi is good. After ordering, we were served a light mushroom soup, standard ginger salad, and a free appetizer from the kitchen, which was two fried Krab sticks drizzled in white sauce (everyone's favorite used for hibachi) We ordered the love boat, which comes with 12 pieces of sashimi, 12 pieces of nigiri, one california roll, one salmon roll, and one special roll (chef's choice). I ordered two ikura (salmon roe) nigiris on the side as well. I think the sushi rice used on all of the sushi was a tad too sweet. For my salmon roe nigiri, the sweetness of the sushi rice overpowered the flavor of the salmon roe. The quality of the fish is good, but I've had a lot better at other sushi spots in Orlando. Again, it is good for Avalon Park since we don't have too many great sushi places in this area. If you live in the area, give Sushi 99 a try. read more

This place is a hole in the wall mom and pop that locate in the Avalon Park area in the same plaza as a Walgreen. It relatively new and close to our place so we decided to check it out. Surprisingly, it was worth the try! The decor is simple and clean. The menu has a large option which included sushi rolls, hibachi, sashimi, udon, and lunch special. I have been here for lunch and dinner and both time I was able to get in and out quickly. The best thing about the place is the free soup and appetizer. Also, the rolls are meticulously done and the plating is very detail and pretty. I am a sucker for pretty things! Overall, food is great and pricing is reasonable. I would definitely come here often. read more

Tastefully decorated for the amount of space they have, Sushi 99 is the latest new restaurant to open in the Avalon Park/Timber Creek area. Seating accommodations are 4 tables that seat 4 each, 6 booths that seat 4 each, and a small sushi bar area with seating for between 4-6 people. All in all, it's small and quaint. However, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in taste and presentation. The children's meals were large - including soup, salad, and a ton of chicken, veggies and rice. We had to take home over half of each of their meals because it was so large. The sushi was fresh, delicious and the size it should be. Presentation was wonderful, as was the attentive service paid to us. Prices were reasonable, with the exception of single piece sushi/sashimi (but I say that as a person who lived in Japan and was able to get fresh sushi for extremely low prices). Other sushi locations in the area (specifically Bayridge Sushi) should be worried because Sushi 99 is hitting it on all cylinders. They also offer online ordering and I saw many people come in specifically for pick up of their orders. read more

This is some of my favorite sushi I've ever had. I get the spicy salmon roll and the jax roll (shrimp tempura with spicy tuna in top) which combines all my favorites for sushi. The first couple times I went, I got it to go but the other day my boyfriend and I went and ate inside. You definitely get more when you sit down! They gave us soup and a free fried crab appetizer. It was really yummy! And a whole bottle of white sauce!!!! Their presentation is also very nice and it's pretty affordable. Will definitely continue coming here. read more

This place was gross. The sushi rice was super hard and the rolls were bland. I expressed my concern to the waiter and he asked if I wanted anything instead so I said the hibachi chicken. He grabbed my plate , walked back with a horrible attitude, flung the sushi rolls into the trash and started getting super vocal as if I couldn't hear him. Never returning. read more

Something so important to me with sushi is consistency. Sushi 99 has the same great quality, always. I've dined in once and ordered take out millions of times. They are a bit pricey on sushi for a local restaurant, but the value is there. Compared with bigger chain stores, they are definitely one of my favorite sushi places in East Orlando. read more

I have to say this is one of the best sushi restaurants I have been in a while. Went there on a Saturday evening the first week I moved to the area. Used Yelp to find a sushi spot and this one caught my eye. It's located at a little strip mall and for a Saturday night it was pretty empty but decided to still give it a shot. Service was great and sushi was delicious. Fresh quality and pretty presentation. We ordered sake as well and it was served in a cut decanter that was certainly a conversation piece. Have gone to a few other sushi places around but none can beat Sushi 99. Did see that a lot of people came to pick up instead of eating in which could have explained why there wasn't as many patrons. Can't wait to go back and eat the other yummy offerings. read more

Sushi 99 has great prices and it's super convenient for us living in the Waterford/Avalon area. With your sushi purchase, miso soup and a small appetizer is included. Ours was fried crab meat. We got the shrimp tempura, a salmon roll and a chicken tempura roll. Perfect amount of food for two or three. read more

UPDATE: Came for lunch and was not let down! I got the sashimi lunch and my sister got the 3 roll deal. All was super delicious. Service was good and staff very friendly. I would recommend lunch time for sure. ---- First time here so didn't know what to expect. Upon arrival we were greeted right away with complimentary clear soups and an imitation krab appetizer. All super delicious! My sister and I ordered the gyoza for appetizer, which was really good too. Sushi wise, we got the House Roll, Rock n Roll, Alaska Roll and Spicy Salmon Roll. The sushi was made perfectly and so far one of the best I've had around the Waterford lakes area. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, it was a great first experience. I definitely will be coming back to try their lunch specials too! read more

Was not good at all. I ordered the philly salmon roll. It tasted too fishy, almost like it wasn't fresh fish or just not properly cleaned. I really wanted this place to be good. I'm on a hunt for a good sushi place in the area. Unfortunately, a sushi beginner, this was a no for me :/ read more

Pleasant place. Clean nice ambiance. Beef negimaki - pretty good was over cucumbers good for 2-3 people with ponzi sauce Beef tataki - decent lil saucy with scallions. I may have this mixed with the item above. Steak fried rice was a huge disappointed bit pretty much was their house fried that comes with your hibachi meal with some slice cubed steak thrown on top. Not your typical fried rice where it's tossed with a combination of vegetables etc. the only $8 so I guess it's worth the price but not your typical fried rice. Sweet shirmp sashimi is great comes with fried prawn heads that are yummy. Ordered black dragon roll and volcano roll both didn't disappoint. Had hibachi in the pass it's good if you want something quick and don't feel like going to KOBE. Service is service not bad not good, but their is a language barrier. Overall decent place because it's convenient and food isn't bad. Ideal for your quick fix and price is not bad. read more

Great meal, personable staff! A little hidden gem. Reasonable prices! Sat down and was given soup, and a chef's special to try! Great flavors!

Will be our go to spot when visiting UCF! read more

I was disappointed in the spicy tuny, spicy salmnon, and big tuna rolls. they were more panko breadcrumbs than spicy. Disappointed

Great place with decent sushi and excellent service. Today was our second time at Sushi99 and was once again we had a great experience. They are still greeting patrons with free soup and a basic crab appetizer. This time ordered the kelmon and the fancy q. Good quality with a great mix of flavors. Their spicy mayo has the right amount of spice and they don't overload their sushi with tempura flakes. Great sushi at a very reasonable price. read more

Dinner was great. #15, #16 where awesome but don't order then if you don't like some heat on your sushi. BTW, you get a holiday roll as part of your meal which is really good. Soup is also provided. Best of all, soup and the holiday roll come out before you even order read more

I came at 3:00 so I was the only person in there; the entire staff was friendly and the food was awesome. I ordered edamame, 2 piece Salmon, 2 piece Tuna, and 2 piece shrimp which came to a total of $19.60. For the quality and quantity, I honestly think they are underpriced. I would recommend Sushi 99 to anyone that wants really good sushi! read more

I had just flown into Orlando and needed a quick lunch. I walked in, the place was empty. I ordered a few sushi rolls and they were poorly put together, but the flavor was okay. Unfortunately, the eel seemed to be a little off. It had a very fishy taste to it in just one of the bites, so I didn't eat any more of it. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Though, I was asked how my meal was every 5 bites. No exaggeration. I was having a conversation with my friend and they interrupted at least 7 times between the soup, salad and sushi. Either way, for being as far as they are from the ocean, it was roughly what I was expecting. read more

I'm bummed they don't deliver through any of the services, but that's my own lazy problem. I mean I live down the street, so I can deal. We've dined in and picked up, and each time the sushi has been delish! The servers are very attentive so food comes out swiftly and drinks are never left empty. If you dine in they bring you soup and a fried roll- not sure what it is but it's tasty. The shumai seems to be our favorite app, and we are working our way through the rolls, though I prefer the non-fried stuff. The TNT Roll, JB Roll, and Dynamite Rolls (basically anything with salmon) are regulars in our order. There's a sushi bar when you walk in, or you can opt to sit at one of the tables for more privacy. This is a great hidden gem in the Avalon hood! read more

I have eaten probably too much sushi in the area, and this is by far my favorite place in the waterford area. The rolls have a lot of flavor, I recommend the Sushi 99 roll. The place is clean and the staff always feel warm and welcoming read more

Sorry guys cane here one time, not happy haven't been back and don't think I will. Again sorry this is just my personal opinion.

Great little sushi place. After 7:30 - free saki bombs so of course we had to try this. The servers made the entire dining experience so much fun. I was impressed at how friendly they were. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. From the chicken hibachi to the vast array of sushi choices. They started us out with complimentary soup and krab rolls. Wine selection was nice and the pour was extra large. Our server kept our water glasses filled and check back with us often. Sushi came out super quick. The ahi tuna appetizer was delicious. Overall the entire experience was just wonderful for our group. read more

Food is ok. I'm having a lonely meal by myself for Valentine's Day. While I'm awaiting to eat my sorrows away, cue the Lionel Richie music. I, briefly forgetting my awful day and the fact that I am ALONE on February 14th, I eagerly reach into the bag to retrieve my Asian eating utensils. I always look forward to snapping them, and rolling them together. I have no idea why, but I see my Asian friends doing it and I don't want to offend them. I pull out not one, but TWO sets of chopsticks. Two sets of chopsticks for one lonely heart. Two sets of chopsticks for one hungry pie hole. This reminding me, that I truly am, alone. Signed, Lonely, Party of Juan read more

Wish I could give this business more than 5 stars. They were very clean and taking every safety precaution I could think of for COVID (masks, hand sanitizer, social distancing, sanitized tables...). Not to mention the staff was so kind and welcoming. My drink was always filled and the sushi was made fresh and efficient. Will be coming back ASAP! read more

This used to be my favorite sushi spot. However, the last few times we have ordered from them its been getting progressively worse. I understand supply chain issues, staffing shortages, and inflation. So I hate to leave this review. This last time we ordered, they did not include wasabi or ginger...is this extra now? The other sushi restaurants in town still include this. They have raised their pricing on their food (like everyone, I do not blame them) but the quality is not the same. The Phoenix roll which has always been a favorite tasted like old sea water. I was afraid to eat it. My husband and I were very disappointed. If you are going to raise your prices then the quality should match regardless of the issues going on. Shorten your menu or change things up to account for some of the issues. Hopefully the quality of the food gets better. I will consider trying again but will be taking a break for a bit. Maybe they changed owners and this is the new norm. Not sure. read more

Walked in and felt welcomed. You can sit where you like. They give you soap as soon as you sit down and a free app. Fried crab stick very yummy. Must check this place out. read more

My fiancee and I just went there for lunch. I have been there a couple of times and I will say their lunch special is great. I usually get the hibachi lunch and it does not disappoint . They start you off with a soup and a salad, which are both pretty standard, but are included. They also give you what is a friend crab appetizer which is delicious. The hibachi itself comes with your choice of meat with vegetables or if you choose vegetables it comes with more veggies. You also choose white or fried rice and it also comes with noodles . Needless to say you will not go hungry . The price for the amount of food is definitely a great deal. This time we also got an appetizer of cold making this time around and that was a great presentation and quite tasty. Over all every time I have had lunch here I have not been disappointed . read more

I went on a Sunday afternoon with a large group of family friends - loud, Latin, and hungry! This is a small restaurant so we took up most of the dining area but luckily it was empty so it was no problem. They started out with some miso soup (yum!) and some delicious imitation crab starters (I asked our server a couple of times what they were called and unfortunately could not get a straight answer). Some of us ordered sushi and some of us ordered hot dishes. The sushi was unimpressive, falling apart at first touch and making it impossible to eat. A couple of different rolls were ordered, but nothing that really satisfied any of those that ordered them. I got the chicken hibachi which came with "fried" rice, chicken, vegetables and noodles. The rice was most certainly not friend and instead was pretty wet and tasteless. The chicken was dry and overcooked and didn't taste like much unless drained in the white sauce. The vegetables were overcooked as well and did not taste fresh. One of my party ordered the vegetable fried rice and really enjoyed it - maybe this was different than the rice that gets served with hibachi dishes. The only dish worth mentioned positively is the salmon katsu - the salmon was juicy and cooked well and the sauce that accompanied it added just the right amount of flavor. A pretty disappointing experience at supposedly the "best" sushi restaurant on my side of town. read more

Down the street from us. It's fast and we order all the time from here. Great food. Never had an issue and the staff is very friendly.

So we came here craving sushi and after seeing the awesome reviews, living about 10 minutes way, we decided to go for it. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by our server who was kind and excited to meet us. She brought menus, took drink orders and within two minutes brought us a complementary appetizer (forgot the name, but it was delicious) and the best miso soup I've had. Neither of theses were charged to our bill. She asked if we lived nearby and how we had heard about them. After a short conversation, she left us the menus and returned within a few minutes. Juan order two Spicy Tuna Rolls (around $6 each) and a Volcano Roll, made of oven baked conch, crab, fish eggs, mayo on top of crab snow and cream cheese ($ 9.95). I ordered a Rock & Roll maki roll ($6) which was made of Shrimp Tempura, crab, avocado and cream cheese. Additionally, I also ordered the Volcano roll. Order did not take long before it arrived and the presentation was both creative and intriguing. Fiancée pointed out that entrées should never have items that are not edible, but I didn't mind it. We were happy with out food and service. Juan had ordered sweet tea, which he loved and I drank water. Our bill was $41 and we were satisfied. Pretty sure we will come here again in the near future. Good sushi, good service and very close to home. read more

Finally got to try this place the other day and was pleasantly surprised. With all of the issues with Asian food in four area lately, it's nice to finally have a place to get my sushi and Japanese food fix. I had the hibachi steak and shrimp and it was so good. Their white sauce tastes just as good as the Kobe sauce. The decor is nice and clean and service was spot on. I feel dirty for not trying their sushi, but I'm sure it's just as good as the hibachi I had. Add this place to the list of places that I have to return to. Well done. read more
