December 2020 - COVID Review: As others have mentioned, this is still technically the former Sushi King, but just under new management. There's been some changes to the menu quantity-wise for certain appetizers and sashimi is now $1 per piece. If you've been a loyal customer in the past and typically get their specialty rolls anyways, then not much has changed for you. Well except for price - but it's still a great deal for AYCE sushi (and hibachi items)! They have photos on their menu of the sushi rolls now too which is helpful when ordering! read more

Went during their all you can eat and it was delicous and not insanely over priced. I was pleasantly surprised when i received the bill. I thought i was ordering per dish and it was all you can eat pricing. I will definitely be going back. Service was good, and the ambiance was nice. My only complaint is the booth i was at had no support, it would tilt backwards if i leaded on it, but i could have easily asked to be moved. read more

This restaurant is under new management and I stopped by with some friends on a busy Saturday. As expected the wait was over an hour. Inside they have seating for small to large parties. You can order everything from appetizers, hibachi, sushi pieces, rolls and sashimi is $1 extra per piece. I really enjoyed the salmon, tuna, yellowtail and the toasted eel sushi. For the rolls we loved the rainbow, spider, volcano and snow rolls. Now don't expect much here for the $20 AYCE price. You aren't getting top quality and the rice to sushi ratio seems like it is 90%. But, this is a great place to try different rolls and other hot dishes. Giving this place a high rating because the service was great. Sushi came out every 5-10 minutes. Our server was very attentive and the location is very clean. The entire staff was wearing gloves, masks and they had sanitizing stations every where. read more

I go to Sushi Queen with my best friend almost once every month, because of the cheap AYCE prices and the quiet nature of the restaurant. My recent visit, however, the food tasted of a much higher quality, and the plating of the food was exceptional! We were one of 3 parties eating lunch at the restaurant so it was very peaceful and we could fully enjoy our meals. I look forward to seeing if this quality continues! Our server was very kind and made sure to check in on us periodically! No complaints, we definitely got our money's worth. read more

Honestly, the sushi is pretty darn good for the price and the fact it's all you can eat and prepared so quickly. They have a great variety of sushi alongside lots of side dishes, and there's really something for everyone. My kids and I love to go here occasionally and just share a bunch of everything and then top it off with chocolate mousse dessert at the end. Sometimes it can be a bit slow, but sushi takes time and overall the staff are attentive. read more

Decent food for the price! Certain items are limited for two orders but most rolls are unlimited so if you want to explore different kinds of sushi, this is your place! Sashimi is $1.00 each I think - I'm not a big fan of it so I didn't try. read more

You really can't beat the value here. ~$21 for all you can eat sushi! The venue is VERY spacious inside and the staff are all wearing masks (properly, over their noses too). The customers are also spread apart. It wasn't too crowded on a week day. Especially in a pandemic, safety and staff adherence to infection control procedures is incredibly important to me. The shu mai and salmon bowl are especially good as appetizers. The hibachi steak dish was also very tender and was served with yum yum sauce. The cheesecake is more cake than cheese and very dense compared to a traditional Japanese cheesecake. Not my favorite, but you go for the sushi, not the dessert. The sushi was surprising well made for all you can eat. You won't knock your socks off, but every roll is good. The best rolls were the tempura ones, especially the Las Vegas one because I loooove cream cheese in rolls. Really, you can't go wrong with whatever you order. I will definitely come back. read more

Generally, I like coming here. The staff is attentive and the food comes out quickly even when you order a lot. Ambiance: (4/5) There is plenty of seating. It's not too fancy. Pretty basic chair and table seat up but overall it a good spot to be at. Price: (5/5) Price is great for unlimited food that comes to your table. Food: (5/5) I really like the variety (it's not just sushi). I thought since it was unlimited it wouldn't be as good but I was wrong. The sushi stacks up with a lot of other places I've been too. I also think the crab Rangoon was perfectly crispy. The miso soup is not too salty which is the complaint I have had with other places. Service: (5/5) They are super nice and funny too. I had a great conversation with our waiter when I went. He come by often to make sure we put in our orders even though it was late in the night. In conclusion, this is good place to try a lot at a great price. I would come by more often if I lived closer. read more

Good deal as a AYCE. There's a lot of options and food comes pretty quick. Quality is normal, but considering the price, this is acceptable.

Pleasantly surprised for a buffet. Went a couple days ago so clear to share no food poisoning - which can be a big risk for buffet-styled raw seafood. I did not have my hopes up but was impressed by the diversity selection on the menu and ample portions of fish. The spicy salmon and any of the nigri tasted fresh. Despite the dim sum carts, the appetizers and noodles were hot and fresh. Ambiance is what you expect for a buffet but service was attentive. Serves and bus staff all had great attitudes despite us going towards closing time on a holiday week. Would return again read more

Katherine wanted to eat a dinner tonight. So we went to this place. Yeah yeah, I know I already ate sushi for lunch but, what can I say? I like sushi? I grew up on the stuff. Anywho, my expectations where not very high when I saw it. Just looked like another mass produced sushi chain. Inside and out. But I was pleasantly surprised that it was gourmet without the flashy looks and gimmicks. Servers instead of waiters. Open floor atmosphere with just rows of booths. Plastic tables wheeling around you like a cafeteria. Not the place I expected to learn a whole new taste in sushi. Typically I eat savory sushi pieces. Lots of fish and earthy vegetables. I'm not into sweet. But I had some rolls here that gave me a new experience. The Sushi Queen and the Hawaii. Both had mango pieces and a syrup. These guys made me feel like I was tasting a tropical summer. They were tangy and smooth. No sudden change of flavor. They just eased into one another. I didn't have any of the usual rolls but these two stood out. Definitely surprised me. Even had the sushi chefs at the back making everyone's orders like in the expensive restaurants. I would definitely recommend this location read more

Solid choice if you want a variety of decent sushi for a good price. Appetizers and dessert are included. Their yakisoba is pretty good too. When it seems busy, I recommend ordering everything you want at the beginning since it may take a while for your full order to be fulfilled. For example, my friends and I got our large plate of sushi before the seaweed salad appetizer. The cup ice cream is in a freezer near the bathrooms. If you find that you're in the vicinity then you might as well check to see their inventory level. By the time my friends and I arrived, they were already down to one flavor and at low quantity. read more

All in all the food is the downfall of this place. Says on the menu what is in the sushi rolls but I can tell just by looking at the rolls they aren't even using real crab meat. It's imitation crab meat. Leaves me concerned about what everything else is made of. The sushi rolls themselves were made poorly. It's obvious not much effort was put into the construction of the rolls, they look more thrown together than anything. The Crab Rangoon are also disappointing, they were very small and paper thin. Overall, poor quality food and the service was good. Not worth $25.99 a person. read more

Amazing! All you can eat sushi with good quality sushi and so many options to chose from. This place is only open for a few hours and is insanely busy with really long wait times. One of my favorites sushi spots now. read more

Used to go here often and service was for the most part okay, so was the food. It's 25.99 per adult so don't expect top notch sushi when you come here as it's pretty mediocre. Only giving a 2 star because my family and I ate here last weekend and my boyfriend got a stomach bug. so please BE CAREFUL!! After this I don't think we will ever return. read more

Amazing experience! Checked out sushi queen with a group of ten, and finished a couple of sushi boats. Went on Friday night during a rush, but I was Impressed with the quality. Also, food comes out fast once you get your first order - even when it is busy. read more

The service is quick and the food is good and consistent. This place can get loud and crowded during dinner time. I typically order something from the hibachi grill and sushi. While not the best sushi I have ever had, this really is the best all-you-can-eat sushi place in the area. It used to be called Sushi King. I am alright with the name change. read more

Sushi Queen - New price not listed on their website. - Japanese Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

3 big factors for every review, Service, Food, Cost Service: relatively quick we went when they just opened at 5 and we had no problems. Came by right after we finished our first order. Brough out everything fairly quick. Great atmosphere. And help was quick but sometimes waiter is not by. Food: good sushi for all you can eat. Not your bad sushi that has no flavor. They were in smaller portions but tasted fresh but some rolls came apart. Great for the price however Cost: obviously with all you can eat you cant complain but if u are getting a small amount theres better spots for less than $29.66 (drink included) read more

$22 to eat as much sushi as you want. Pretty much every roll you can get here is high quality, with a couple of exceptions (Las Vegas was not good). On the other hand, the Crazy Monkey roll was awesome. Service can be somewhat lackluster at times, however, especially when there are a lot of people in the restaurant. It can take a good minute for the sushi to actually come out, and you're sitting there hungry. Don't eat too much though, as it's super easy to order too much and you won't feel great for the rest of the day. read more

As a fan of Sushi King for many years, I was extremely curious to see if this rebranded location could live up to the high bar the chain has set for itself. I am happy to say that it not only meets those lofty standards, it raised them even higher. So for those new to the idea, this place is essentially unlimited sushi for one set price. You place as many orders as you can eat and they gradually bring out your rolls as the kitchen completes them. The nice thing about this particular location is their efficient use of tablets to ensure orders are immediately conveyed to both the kitchen and the drink preparation area. While normally you would wait upwards of 20 minutes for menu items and 10 minutes on drinks at Sushi King, those times were closer to 14 and 3 minutes respectively here. The fact that I visited on a Saturday night, one of their busiest times, makes this speed all the more impressive. Since speed and efficiency are the name of the game here, don't expect much friendly conversation from your server. That said, this kind of place was never meant to wow you with their interpersonal skills. The food is absolutely fantastic, with high quality ingredients and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The fact that their menu has photos of the sushi rolls is a recent addition and I am so glad they did that to help out new customers. Current price for an adult is $21 for dinner. Whether this is a good deal or not depends entirely on two things: how hungry you are, and how much you like sushi. If you're like me, aka you love sushi and you purposely eat very little prior to your visit here, it is absolutely worth the cost. A few final notes: there is plenty of parking nearby, so you shouldn't have to worry about that. Wait times are usually pretty fair, though might be difficult for larger parties since most of the seating here is booths. I strongly recommend coming here if you enjoy sushi or if you want to try it out for the first time in a low-pressure environment. Sushi Queen, long may you reign! Overall: 5.0 stars ---- Pros: - A fantastic selection of high-quality sushi rolls, and lots more options as well. - Service is fast and efficient. You won't be stuck waiting for too long. - Price is fair for what you get, assuming you come hungry. - Parking is easy. Cons: - Larger parties will have to wait due to most of the seating being booths, so I recommend you call ahead. read more

An all you can eat sushi spot that has figured out how to operate in an efficient manner, almost to a fault. We walked into a large dining room, seated quickly and we were eating within 15 minutes! The staff was organized and efficient, but felt like we were being pushed to eat more quickly than we would have liked. We were in and out in less than an hour on a Friday night at 6pm with a party of 4! read more

Sushi queen is a quick place to get all you can eat sushi for a good price. Typically, when I get sushi, I find myself paying $25 for about 3-4 rolls and not being full. Sushi queen is good for that. It's $20.99 a person and all you can eat. It is not the hugest quality sushi but it's still very good and for the price, you cant beat it. The service is ok. I also like that they have other items on the menu such as hibachi, miso, shrimp tempura, dumplings, etc. Be wary that you shouldn't order more sushi than you can finish or they will charge you. The sushi is made fresh as you order so it doesn't sit out all day on a buffet table. Overall, a good bang for your buck! read more

$25 AYCE sushi is not easy to find, especially when the food is decent quality. I wouldn't say the food is the best, but at that price point, I admit the quality of the food is not bad at all. It has become my husband's favorite restaurant after I first introduced him to Sushi Queen. There was one time the hibachi steak was a bit too salty. We told the staff about it and we hadn't had another salty dish after! During the weekends, I would recommend going early to avoid the long wait. read more

Great place to eat Sushi and Nigiri, very affordable too for an all you can eat foodies.

All you can eat sushi for $20 and amazing service? Yes please! We love this place. Food comes out pretty quick and staff is always friendly. Don't expect high quality sushi, but it is really great for what you pay for. :) Staff wears masks and gloves and there's hand sanitizers as well. The only thing is I wish they had a scan QR code for the menu, but it's really no big deal. My advice: go during weekdays because weekends are super busy and wait time can be extra long. Really recommend: beef or shrimp hibachi. Yum! read more

The quality of the food was not good and some of their rolls are nothing like the rolls you'd get elsewhere (e.g., the spider roll had lettuce in it). The spicy tuna did not taste or look like spicy tuna. It tasted like a white fish and with so much red dye in it, I thought I was eating a deconstructed Elmo. The service was good, though. The server was friendly and attentive. read more

The crab Rangoon and spring roll appetizers were good here. The area hibachi was really good too. There is a lot of variety and options even if you don't eat seafood like me which is nice! I like the avocado salad and added it to my Philly rolls. read more

$25 for AYCE for this mid grade sushi and decent selection is outstanding. Compared to SushiOn's $40, Sushi Queen delivers a better tasting selection. Don't get me wrong, It's not amazing Sushi. It's a little better than your average grocery store sushi. Tempura shrimp and veg: 4/5 Salmon Bowl (limit 2/person): 5/5 Miso + Salad: 3/5 Chef rolls: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Speed: 5/5 Hibachi: 4/5 read more

service is awful, takes forever to be helped and to receive food after ordering. The food itself is decent for an all you can eat sushi restaurant. $25 for all you can sushi and more is a good price point. Don't expect anything WOW but it's good. The restaurant itself is laid out in a giant square format with semi uncomfortable benches but this is easily looked past. Tool tip: to compensate the slow service, order A LOT at the beginning so you aren't stuck waiting to get more food read more

Only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because the service was quick, my server was really nice and it is a lot of food you can get for a low price. Other than that though, the sushi was pretty awful. All the rolls that had salmon or tuna in it was literal mush. Also just generally tasted really not fresh and weird. Appetizers seemed like a safe bet but even the miso soup and seaweed salad were disappointing. Crab rangoons were okay. If you like authentic sushi don't come here, even for low price you'll be disappointed. But if you value quantity over quality then this is the place for you. read more

I came here last Saturday with my family around 6:30 pm. Service felt unorganized and chaotic as food did not always come in the order we ordered it, and we were never sure if we were going to get what we ordered (or when). Food was pretty good for the price. I especially enjoyed the salmon bowl appetizer and the steak hibachi was surprisingly tender. Miso soup was bland - tasted very watered down. We got quite a few specialty rolls and I liked them overall but nothing stood out to me as very special. Ambiance was very busy and packed. We went on the Saturday before Easter so not sure if that's how busy it usually is. Overall, if you don't have a super refined palate and want decent sushi without breaking the bank (quantity over quality) I would recommend coming here! read more

Had the worse service here today. We come here often and we're never asked what my daughters age is. She is 10 and its never been an issue. Today the front worker would not accept that my daughter is 10. He asked her DOB and almost had her in tears. He refused even after we gave the DOB. In the past we never had this issue. Honestly, it's only a $10 difference but if she's 10, then she is 10!! Owner needs to do some training for the employees!! read more

So this used to be Sushi King and under new management. Sushi Queen is much better!! All you can eat for around $20 is made to order. Obviously it is not the same as going to a traditional sushi house. However, I normally spend $40 on myself to eat and the value here is unbeatable! the sushi tasted fresh. I paid an extra dollar to get three small pieces of sashimi salmon that was good. I enjoyed the fried appetizers which were nice and crunchy. The miso soup was tasty and not watered down. The rolls were a good size from the Chef's specialty rolls with a variety and interesting combinations. I was really impressed and left stuffed! I paid $50 for my friend and I which included sodas. Even dessert was far better than it used to be. The cheesecake and chocolate mousse were so good I got a second of each! My only small criticism is that my beef fried rice was a bit bland. However the food was fresh, the server was friendly and constantly checked on us, and the place was clean and comfortable inside. Everyone wore masks and tables were spaced out in high booths. If you're like me and like a wide variety of apps and rolls you should come here when you can't spend too much! Some people don't like a lot of different fish and stuff so it probably isn't the best place. I love eel, raw fish, fried apps, dessert, soup, etc and this was an amazing meal at a great price! I enjoyed it and will definitely go again and recommend it to others. Again, you can't go to a buffet or AYCE (all you can eat) and try to compare it to a place that is a full service restaurant. It is great for what it is! read more

I've been coming here for some time. The sushi menu has a lot of variety and the appetizers and "other menu" options are great. From the sound of it (all you can eat sushi for a set cost), you may think twice about going but tame your expectations and go try it, you will not be disappointed. Made to order sushi, and hibachi. Outside of the sushi, the black pepper tuna and sea weed salad are my top options I also order. Overall, it exceeds my expectations. read more
