Best Sushi Restaurants in Richmond
Richmond, Virginia — updated August 21, 2026
Eight Richmond sushi restaurants ranked by how settled their reputations are, from Scott's Addition rolls to all-you-can-eat on Midlothian Turnpike.
Listings verified
Richmond's sushi is split between two zones: the Scott's Addition and Museum District blocks near Arthur Ashe Boulevard, and the stretch of Midlothian Turnpike out in the southwest, where the higher-volume rooms and the all-you-can-eat option sit. The ratings below range from 3.8 to 4.6, and the review counts from 251 to nearly 1,600, so we have noted which reputations are proven and which are still thin. Hours vary widely, and two of these places close entirely on certain days.
1. Fighting Fish Scott’s Addition
The highest-rated sushi restaurant on this list, at 4.6 across 656 reviews, which is enough volume to treat the score as reliable rather than provisional. It sits at 912 N Arthur Ashe Blvd in Scott's Addition, in the middle of the brewery corridor, which makes it a practical stop before or after a taproom crawl. Hours are long and consistent: noon to 9pm Sunday through Thursday, noon to 10pm Friday and Saturday. That midday opening is unusual here, since several Richmond sushi kitchens close between lunch and dinner. Phone orders are taken at 804-562-1546.
2. Lucky AF: Asian Fusion & Sushi
The most-reviewed strong performer in the group: 4.5 stars from more than 1,000 reviews, a figure that leaves little doubt. The Scott's Addition location at 3103 W Leigh St serves lunch and dinner daily and runs a happy hour Monday through Friday. The menu separates traditional rolls from signature ones, with a spicy tuna roll listed at $8.30 and a California roll at $7.30, while the tempura shrimp Hulk roll runs $19.70. There is a second Richmond-area location in Short Pump if the Leigh Street room is full, which it often is on weekend evenings.
3. Osaka Sushi & Steak
A West End room at 5023 Huguenot Rd that covers both halves of its name, with sushi, sashimi and hand rolls on one side and lamb and seafood entrees on the other. The 4.5 rating across 629 reviews puts it in the same tier as Lucky AF on quality with less volume behind it. The dinner menu lists an oyster roll at $13.50 and the James Roll, made with spicy shrimp, at $14.50. It runs a split schedule, 11:30am to 2:30pm and then 5pm to 10pm, so there is a mid-afternoon gap. A full take-out menu is available.
4. Akida Japanese Restaurant
Open since 2000, which makes it one of the longer-running Japanese kitchens in the city, and it holds a 4.5 rating across 572 reviews. The Museum District location at 606 N Sheppard St keeps a tight schedule: lunch 11:30am to 2:30pm and dinner 5pm to 9pm Monday through Friday, dinner only on Saturday, closed Sunday. The menu runs well past sushi and hand rolls into donburi, teriyaki, udon and combination plates. If you are planning a Sunday meal, plan elsewhere.
5. Roll & Bowl
The pick on Midlothian Turnpike if you want the sushi bar and the rice-bowl counter under one roof. At 9958 Midlothian Tpke, it makes rolls to order alongside rice bowls and poke-style plates, so it works for a table where not everyone wants raw fish. The 4.4 rating from 913 reviews is a settled figure rather than an early one. Hours are 11am to 9:30pm Monday through Thursday and 11am to 10pm Friday and Saturday, giving it one of the earlier openings on this side of the river.
6. Sushi King
The all-you-can-eat option, at 9111 Midlothian Tpke, and its 4.3 rating across 1,591 reviews is the second-largest sample here, so the score reflects a lot of meals rather than a good week. The schedule needs attention: lunch runs 11am to 3pm Monday and Wednesday through Friday, with no Tuesday lunch service at all. Dinner is 5pm to 9:30pm Monday through Thursday, until 10pm Friday, with Saturday running straight through from 11am to 10pm and Sunday from noon to 9:30pm. Catering is offered.
7. Sticky Rice
The most-reviewed restaurant on this list by a small margin, with 1,598 reviews behind a 4.2 rating, which is a lower score but drawn from a much larger crowd than most of the entries above. It sits at 2232 W Main St in the Fan, walking distance from VCU. We were not able to verify current hours or menu specifics, so call ahead before making the trip. Long-running Richmond fixtures tend to hold ratings in this range because they serve so many people; treat 4.2 over that many reviews as dependable rather than disappointing.
8. Momotaro Sushi
Included with a caveat: at 3.8 stars from 251 reviews, this is the weakest record in the group, and the sample is large enough that the score is unlikely to be a fluke. What earns it a place is the lunch pricing at 2803 W Cary St, where the menu lists a sushi lunch of four pieces of nigiri plus a California roll at $13.95 and a sashimi lunch of six chef-selected pieces plus a California roll at $15.95. Check the calendar first: it is closed Monday and Tuesday, and opens at 4pm on Wednesday. Delivery and takeout are available.
