We ordered Valentine's Day sushi. It was really delicious. Because of the holiday, the price was a bit high, but it was worth the wait.

Sushi King is always an exceptional meal, and that comes with an exceptional wait time. They are, hands down, the best sushi in the area - and the business is run by a Husband and wife pair. Occasionally they are able to get help from younger relatives with waiting on tables, but it's in-between schoolwork, and there are still only the two handling the food. They rely on the income from sales to keep the place running, and do everything in their power to avoid losing those customers - sometimes that means waits end up longer than expected, but that isn't uncommon for the super small family-owned businesses in the area. Locals understand to expect to wait a prolonged period (1 hour+ for everything minimum, usually, as they're working takeout at the same time). If you plan accordingly, call early, and don't expect the food for 1.5 hours, then you're fine. Also be sure to see the menu in person, as the online menu is sometimes out of date. Sometimes there are small language barriers, but if you're patient there isn't generally an issue. This is a place you go to support a tiny local business, to get excellent sushi, and to take your time. It isn’t fast turnaround, and the quality doesn't suffer because it isn’t fast turnaround. If you need your sushi fast, look to chain establishments or Wegmans, but don't expect the quality to be nearly as good, or for the food to be super fresh and made to order. We've never had an issue with service, even if it does take a long time. They're very friendly, and they try to correct issues if and when they occur. High volume turnaround is difficult to manage without making mistakes, but they do their best. Take the opportunity to step back from the hustle and bustle and just exist, converse, etc for a bit. We ended up spending a lot per person, but also ended up with two meals each. It's still not inexpensive, but it is absolutely a fantastic treat once in a while - or maybe more frequently if you have the funds to spare. It's also more affordable if you don't go all out when you go. How you balance things is really up to you. And the food is so good that we forget to take pictures. Oops.

Sushi King is delicious and consistent! It looks like there’s one couple who run the place and are always busy. Their volcano roll is amazing!! I recommend going here for takeout, not dine-in since it’s a small sitting area.

This was our first visit to Sushi King in Penfield. We ordered the Dream and Golden Roll for pick up. It was very good. We will certainly be back. I am very glad that this Sushi Restaurant is in Penfield.

Words can't really describe how good this place is. I refuse to eat Sushi at any other location. I have still not found any place that's better let alone close to the quality of the food that Sushi King serves. Their service is a little slower because of the time it gakes to make their masterpieces. The service is not their strong point, but I assure u that the food highly makes up for it and is well worth the wait. Please disregard the service as they are totally family run and they do their best to serve you. Trust me, when u eat, it will be well worth it. Places like this should be protected at all cost and people should support this business at all cost. Been going there since 2012!

Some of the best sushi in Rochester. Fair price and delicious. We normally order out from them and they are always friendly and timely!

I’ve lived in NYC for 7 years and this is still the best sushi I’ve ever had. Everytime I come home it’s the first place I stop. Always fresh and worth the wait, the owners are very nice and accommodating. Kani salad is my favorite!

This place has the best sushi. Its true you’re going to have to wait. And often wait a long time but it’s worth it. They are a two person show and it’s not rushed. So place an order get a large hot sake or two and wait for the sushi! I have added some photos over the year here below!
