The staff was very nice and friendly. And the food was great you got to stop by the place it's a little quit sometimes but over all the food is really good you should stop by the place also read more

Love this place. It's super fresh and the reason it takes so long is BECAUSE IT'S FRESH! Order ahead (30min) and enjoy fresh and inexpensive amazing sushi! read more

Sushi is freshly made and they have Buy 1 Get 1 specials. Saturday was buy 1 get 1 free. Every other day is 1/2 off. But it's really good and filling. Nice location and very casual interior. Can't help but keep going for the quality and price. read more

Called the order in and was told 10-15 minutes. The food was ready when we got there. We ordered the teriyaki chicken with fried rice & vegetables to go. The chicken didn't look that appealing but had great flavor. The carrots are sweet, the broccoli was not overcooked like you will find at some asian restaurants. The shrimp sauce is delicious! We live very close so I am sure we will be ordering take out regularly! A great addition to Matthews. read more

This is hands down the most delicious place I've been to! The sushi are made so fresh and put a smile on my face each bite I take. My favorite roll especially is the Juan sushi roll and it's amazing. I will forever be coming back to this restaurant because it's simply the best. I recommend everyone give it a try. read more

Absolute the worst sushi I ever tasted. I asked to get a refund or speak to a manager. But there was no attempt to satisfying the customer or a manager at the present time. I won't ever come back here especially with the service they provided. read more

Mediocre at best, way too much rice and tiny bits of fish. I suppose for the boho price I shouldn't be surprised, but honestly grocery store sushi is better and faster. read more

Just tried sushi star for the first time and I am not impressed with the presentation of the sushi and the lack of fish and filling. The flavor is off too and I would say that Harris teeter sushi is even better than this. The sushi was not even cut into appropriate sized slices. There was little to no avocado and I paid $13 for the roll, which is extremely overpriced for what I am getting. I ordered teriyaki steak and got teriyaki chicken instead and the chicken is over cooked and not that flavorful. I probably will never order from here again. Gross! read more

See all

Amazing prices and really friendly staff. Sushi is amazing and I love their Boba Tea. One of my go to places for sure,

I went there today, stood in line for 20 minutes and then left, there were three people in front of me when I cam in and they also walked out. They had two men doing everything , a girl serving and no one at the counter. No one acknowledge you coming in, no one said please wait we are backed up, nothing. read more

Best sushi place ive come across to date, absolutely love it ! Not only is the price the lowest ever, its quality surpasses it. Their menu is amazing, they have something for everyone. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are Buy One Get One Free and every other day is Buy One Get One Half Off. If your a big sushi lover i would recommend this 100% over any other place. Try and compare it to other sushi places, and sushi star will show its worth it hands down. read more

Oh so good sushi rolls!! The menu is yuuuge, I spend several minutes just deciding what to get , everything tastes real good!!!

Great place to get some inexpensive yet very tasty sushi. The buy one get one free sushi on Tuesdays and Fridays is the best. I always order the California rolls, two of them easily fills me up. I will definitely continue to come here from now on for sushi. Will have to try their hibachi dishes as well during lunch time. read more

I've eaten here many times since it opened. Good sushi, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Also, I never get tired of trying new types of sushi, and this place has a lot of options! I recommend the Alina and Spider rolls... good stuff! read more

I always try to eat at small local restaurants over the big chains, and even if something is not my cup of tea, I still try to find the good things that I could still appreciate. That said, here is my "good thing" about Sushi Star - - the food wasn't toxic. That's it... the one good thing I could say about this place. I got there about 7 pm which should be their rush hour and I expected a bit of a wait, even though there were only 3 people there waiting for their orders. I ordered the two first things I thought sounded good to take home with me, but had to physically go over to their floor to ceiling menu before they had any clue what I was ordering. Every client walking in had this experience. There are probably close to 100 things on that menu, which is just really hard to keep track of, apparently even for their staff. Then two customers came in and said they got the wrong order, which obviously required every member of the staff to come check out and discuss it. Finally they resolved that yes, he did get the wrong items and so they would redo the order. So now there are about 6 of us waiting for orders. One order came up and both counter-girls had to come inspect it. They had no idea what it was or who it belonged to. When the cook told them what it was, they started literally sniffing the order, and one put her finger on it as if to test it for heat or doneness or something. They started asking everyone who had ordered it and nobody had. Just then the dishwasher guy announced they were out of salad, so the lone cook took off to go make more salad, leaving nothing else being cooked. As each order came up, the counter-girls repeated the same performance, sniffing the food and touching it, so informed them both that when my food came up, I didn't want mine sniffed or touched. A few others agreed, and so they stopped that practice. Several more orders came up, some folks left, and in total, I spent one hour and 5 minutes from the time I walked in before I got my "fast food". I timed it based on when I texted my wife as I walked in the door. Getting home, I found the food just as undesirable as the service. It was mostly rice, very bland, and very few vegetables or fish. I'd paid nearly $30/lb for little more than rice. To top it off, despite the long wait and the 3 minute ride home, the hot dish and the cold dish were both within a few degrees of room temperature. I really wanted to like this place and I wondered if maybe I just got a really bad night. But I've got several friends that have said their experiences weren't too far from mine. For $30 for two, this is a place that simply doesn't get a second chance from me. read more

You can't beat bogo! However, I wish the rolls weren't all almost exactly alike! But you also don't change what works sometimes! Great prices for how much food you get! Friendly staff!! read more

This was by far the worst experience I've ever had picking up food. The employees did no acknowledge anyone coming in. They were not even busy. I called before and asked how the buy one get one free special worked and was told I just had to call in my order. Once I got there, they told me it was buy one get one HALF off and then proceeded to argue with me about the website. They said I was looking at the wrong location and I walked them through to show it was in fact THEIR website and that I even called ahead. She then proceeded to YELL at me that I must've called the other location, followed with the fact that that location had closed...I left without paying and without my food because I refuse to give any amount of money to a business that functions this way. Now I'm back at work and my coworker's order is vastly incorrect. I'm not even the type of person to leave reviews, but this was just so ridiculous. The woman made a point to tell me that they've been there for 4 years...good luck on remaining there if this is how you conduct business with horrible customer service and false advertising. read more

I LOVE this place! They recently opened a location on Monroe Road and it's great. The quality is great for the price. Also, the BOGO offers can't be beat. Highly recommend as a quick lunch spot. read more

Rice was way too pasty, spicy yellowtail and tuna had so much sauce poured on them that we threw them out and wasabi was a very poor quality paste. Save yourself the time, money and pepto bismol. read more

Tried ordering from here so many times and they have messed up our orders almost half of the time

Been here twice. Don't expect great food but it is passable for what it is. Potentially a quick lunch spot if they worked a little faster. Both times their was confusion with their ordering system. Also I saw one of the workers go from the touchpad register to working with food and NOT washing his hands! read more

Best place in town! I eat here twice a week. Friendly staff, delicious sushi/hibachi, and great pricing. I have 3 friends who are now hooked also. read more

Thought we were in for a good experience at first with the guy behind the counter recommending his favorites. We ordered based off of his advice and waited for our to go food while others ate around us. While waiting a group that was eating complained about not getting 2 of the 4 roles they ordered. The server argued with them that they did but we didn't really think anything of it until we got home. We ordered 2 hibachi chickens with rice and 2 sushi roles. We got the hibachi but got 3 sushi roles that were not even close to what we ordered. The girl even came up and asked us what we had ordered before she gave our food to us. I know, we should have made sure before we left but we were starving. Also, how hard is it to give people their correct order after confirming with them what they ordered. The guy helping us decide also told my husband that the hibachi with no rice was the same as hibachi with rice but more expensive. We thanked him for the heads up but after reading other reviews we found out that the hibachi no rice comes with zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots where as ours with rice came with carrots and mushrooms only. I have some restaurant experience and have used it to base my assumptions on what went wrong. I think that the front of house workers did not know the menu which could have prevented all of the mistakes made. They were young workers but I'm not going to let that be their excuse for bad service. With better management in place this place could be good. read more

I wish I could rate this place lower than 1 star because it was the absolute worst sushi I've ever had in my life. My girlfriend and I love sushi and eat it about once a week. We decided to try sushi star since it's fairly new in town, but I've never been more let down with a restaurant. When we walked in, it was in the 90s inside. It was a very hot and muggy day and they had all the doors propped open, making it very uncomfortably hot inside. They had one small fan pressed against a wall to barely circulate that hot heavy air. They were having a special on that day of buy one roll get the next half off. My girlfriend and I decided to splurge and got 8 rolls to split so we could get a good understanding of how their sushi was. After I paid, I asked the girl at the register to break a $20 so I could tip her. She looked at me like I'd asked her to explain quantum physics. I told her to just give me a 10, a 5, and 5 1's and she stood there counting and recounting it, looking extremely bewildered and confused, legitimately puzzled about how to break a $20 bill. After some time she finally gave me my change, but it's pretty alarming that the only person working the register doesn't know how to make change. We waited about an hour for our food even though we were the only people in there. The sushi was horrible. Dry and hard rice, sloppily rolled loose rolls, sloppily cut pieces, sloppy knife cuts, the fish was not cut uniformly, and the rolls just overall didn't taste good. There was no art or care put into those rolls. Every single piece of sushi we picked up fell apart because they weren't rolled well. The pieces weren't uniformly cut. One piece would be huge while another piece in the same roll would be tiny. Everything was just sloppily thrown together without care. I've never seen such enormous chunks of cucumber in a roll of sushi. Usually the cucumber in a sushi roll are nice uniform julliens, but not at sushi star. Their cucumbers are huge hap-hazardly cut chunks with no uniformity. Even the fish on top of the rolls was cut in different strange shapes and thickness and had no uniformity. Since sushi is my favorite food, I didn't know that I even could be so let down by sushi, but the swill I was served at sushi star proved that I could. I regret paying for what we got and wasting a meal there. With New Zealand right around the corner, there is no reason for me to ever go back. Do yourselves a favor and eat sushi from literally anywhere else. Even Harris Teeter has better sushi than Sushi Star. Talk about not living up to your namesake. read more

My family tried Sushi Star yesterday. Based on their reviews we didn't expect food like New Zealand Cafe down the street, but we didn't expect horrible food either. We ordered from the hibachi menu and the sushi menu. The chicken in the hibachi noodle was beyond dry and nearly flavorless. It is loaded with mushrooms to the point that the noodles taste like mushrooms. This was not an issue for me as I love mushrooms, but it was our sons dish and he likes them but doesn't like them that much. We also tried 4 different sushi rolls and none of them were very good. I have never seen such a small Rainbow Roll. It Rainbow Roll had the thinnest slivers of fish on the top. The rice was very dry and had no flavor. The cucumbers were rubber like and the avocado had lots of brown marks. My husband and I are sushi lovers and this is the first time EVER that we threw away sushi. The only positive I can say is the young girl at the front was very nice. read more
