Super fresh sushi and sashimi! Great service with a solid pricepoint. Highly recommended!

Hot cheetos sushi. Nuff said. Amura is a nice quick sushi restaurant. Portions are huge and fish tastes fresh. What's not to hate with those adjectives.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant by far. They make the best house salad - so full of fresh vegetables and huge. Sushi rolls are amazing!!! I am picky so that goes a long way. Service is awesome and everyone is so friendly. Please try this place so they open on Thursday. Haha. Just kidding.

We found this place by yelp while we visiting our friends. The place were Very cozy warm. Their rolls are just great. We really enjoyed. Service was excellent and sweet. We wanted to come back again.

Rolls are great . To be honest they make larger size rolls . I can never finish just one at times . My favorites are the Temptation and The Mexican. I got two this trip as I was hungry . The owner is nice but very short at times . I do feel rushed eating here also but it's worth the trouble .

Amura Sushi Cafe opened in June of 2020 in the shopping complex that intersects Pleasure House Road with Shore Drive. It is owned by a Korean couple who used to own a 24-hour sushi chain in Austin, Texas. They had planned to open earlier, but COVID-19 delayed their plans. This particular spot is found in the small section of the complex that runs parallel to Pleasure House Road and is right around the corner from Kim's Bahn Mi & More. This is a small and compact sushi spot housing 5 rectangular dining tables with six seats each. I counted 5 seats at their sushi bar. Their menu is small as well and has been downsized since they first opened. Their original menu listed sections for Donburi, Teriyaki, Fried Rice, and Katsu, which no longer appear on their current menu. Their early Yelp photos also feature a Ramen dish and Tuna Tataki, which no longer appear as well. Their one page one sided menu now sticks mostly to sushi. After three lunch time visits, I have tried the following: MISO SOUP: Listed as one of their three Appetizers, which also includes Edamame and a 12-piece Sashimi sampler, I ordered the large size. This might be the best Miso Soup I have ever tasted. Their dashi stock delivered a rich depth of flavor, enhanced by an abundance of tofu, scallion, and dried kelp.. My Rating: 5 Stars. TUNA POKE BOWL: This was listed as one of their four Poke Bowl offerings and was described by my server as tuna with a variety of vegetables over a layer of sushi rice. My server asked me if I wanted the spicy version or the regular version. I told her that I wanted the spicy version, but with no mayonnaise, which is condiment that has never agreed with me. She told me that I would have to get the regular, as their spicy version comes with mayonnaise. So, I went ahead and ordered their regular version, a bit disappointed that I would have to do without the spice. On a side note, the late celebrity chef and food author, Anthony Bourdain, strongly believed that mayonnaise does not belong anywhere near raw fish and advised against ordering any sushi selection that includes it. The sushi bowl was huge and included ample chunks of high quality grade tuna that delivered a fresh and pleasant taste. The other ingredients were a bit of a disappointment. There was no seaweed salad in the mix, which is one of my favorite ingredients in a poke bowl. Instead, there was an overabundance of plain lettuce that overwhelmed the mixture. I had never encountered plain lettuce in a traditional poke bowl before, and I was tasting it all the way home. My Rating: 3.5 Stars. COMBO POKE BOWL: Even though their Tuna Poke Bowl was a disappointment, I decided to give this one a shot during my second visit. It came with a mix of Tuna, Shrimp, and Salmon. I had better luck this time. With a stunning presentation, the Shrimp and Salmon delivered a greater balance of flavors in combination with the other ingredients. The lettuce was still there, but it was not overwhelming. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. SUSHI COMBO B: 6 Pieces of Chef's Choice Nigiri and California Roll. I am not a fan of the California Roll and substituted it with the Tuna Roll listed under their Traditional Maki Rolls. I like my sushi rolls prepared in the more traditional style with the seaweed on the outside instead of on the inside. Sushi rolls prepared with the seaweed on the inside and the rice on the outside are known as Uramaki or "inside out" rolls and are an American invention. The California Roll is believed to be the original Uramaki roll, originating in Los Angeles during the 1960s. The Nigiri pieces consisted of Salmon, Red Snapper, and Yellowfin Tuna. They all delivered a high quality taste and silky texture. The Yellowfin Tuna was especially buttery and was my favorite of the three. For my tastes, there was a bit too much rice in the Nigiri pieces. I like to eat a piece of Nigiri in one bite and had a hard time doing so with these. The Tuna Roll was fine taste wise, but once again, the pieces were packed with more rice than I wanted. American style sushi tends to be prepared in larger pieces and more packed with rice than Japanese style sushi. At least, I left feeling full. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. My service was very friendly with each visit. I would come back to try their Miso Soup again, and I would like to try their Sushi Sashimi Combo, once again swapping out their California Roll for their Tuna Roll. I would also try their Tuna Tataki if they ever bring it back. Most of their Specialty Rolls don't entice me, as they tend to be served Uramaki style with the seaweed on the inside. A number of them also come with mayonnaise and cream cheese, which is yet another non-traditional ingredient I don't like in a sushi roll. My food numbers averaged out to a strong 4-star composite rating, but it was not quite enough to round upward. When it comes to sushi, my personal preferences lean toward a more traditional Japanese style.

Best sushi you will eat in the area. Period. The poke bowl is ridiculous, too. The biggest, freshest, tastiest poke bowl you will find on the East Coast. Get the combo poke bowl. Just huge chunks of fresh salmon, tuba, and shrimp with some greens underneath, and rice underneath that. They will give you the sauce on the side, and that sauce was yummy goodness. The restaurant has a super relaxed vibe. TV screens are filled with exotic location videos. They also play jazz cafe music, which is a nice touch. The menu is simple, and you have a checklist with a pen and you just write the quantity you want. The yellowtail tasted like butter. Just melts in your mouth. The spicy scallops is perfectly sweet and spicy. I ate a lot of different things, and they all hit the mark. The Portions are the biggest you will find for what you pay, and everything tastes top quality. I will eat here a lot. Well done.

I am officially crowning Amura Sushi Cafe the BEST sushi in the Norfolk/VB area! Nestled in on the side of a strip mall, you might just miss it if you're not looking hard enough! Parking is plentiful with spots directly outside, as well as a full parking lot for the strip mall. Inside, there are only a few tables, so avoid going during peak dining times or there might be a wait. The restaurant is clean and modern. Once seated, you're presented with a paper menu and pen where you can mark the quantities of every item you want. Once the server comes and reads it back to you, it's time to sit back and wait in anticipation! We recommend the house and seaweed salads, the Temptation, Sushi on the Beach, and of course the Fire Cracker Roll! Even the small portion of the House Salad is HUGE, definitely enough for two people. The lettuce is fresh, and it's DRENCHED in their yummy house dressing. It must be made in-house because I've never had a dressing like that. Absolutely phenomenal. Now on to the rolls: heavenly. Amura is obviously going to be more expensive than an AYCE sushi place, but the QUALITY is absolutely worth the price. No weirdly-warm rolls here! (You know exactly what I'm talking about). Our FAVORITE is the Fire Cracker roll. It has flaming hot Cheeto dust ontop, which pairs perfectly with the cream cheese inside. It's unlike any sushi roll we've ever had. The Temptation roll is *chef Kiss* and they don't skimp on the toppings!! Next time we're asking for a spoon to eat all the leftover jalapeños. The Sushi on the Beach is just as delicious as the others, packed full with fresh avocado and shrimp tempura. I could go on and on, but I'll stop there! Seriously, go check out Amura Sushi! You will not be disappointed!

Great sushi spot! I moved here recently from Hawaii, where amazing sushi is on every corner and I have been missing it. Amura had great reviews so I had to stop by to satisfy my craving! The owners are a lovely couple that seem to run the place pretty much independently. The gentleman was preparing sushi and his wife was taking care of all the tables. I ordered two of their specialty rolls; the Sushi on the Beach roll and the Cherry Blossom roll. It was a great combination, both rolls very different but balanced each other. I would order the Sushi on the Beach again. The Cherry Blossom was good, but I would choose something different next time! The rolls were pretty big and very filling.
