Amura Sushi Cafe

This is a super cute little spot to get a no frill, amazing service, and delish food from a dynamic duo couple who puts their heart and soul into the place! Simple but DELICIOUS menu, and of course there are too many good rolls to choose from, but what takes the cake are the owners. Truly genuine, kind, and hard working folks! They are on top of it all; they are what make this spot the gem it is! We headed there on a rainy Saturday and it was BUSY which is a sign to me that it's good, and I wasn't disappointed. Def a great spot, don't miss it!

Fresh and great tasting sushi. Made to order. The service was quick and respectful and very knowledgeable of the menu. The plating was beautiful. The ambiance is relax and causal. Will definitely come back here again.

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.

I would come back just for the house salad !!!! Tempura was lightly coated yum Liked the Clean place My non likes - toooo much avocado on the rolls- no tamari (I don't like the cheap traditional soy sauce)- would like to have some "American " style option like the fried onions or crunch - staff not friendly

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.

The best sushi in hampton roads! Definitely worth the drive to have the freshest and tastiest sushi rolls around. Great customer service and really clean environment. Love it here so much and the owners are so nice!

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 .

Literally the best sushi I've ever ate! The rolls were huge, topped with the most Avacados I've ever seen on sushi and tasted amazing! My husband and I moved away from the area but we always talk about how much we miss this place. The owners are also so sweet and welcoming, we wish we could eat here every weekend again.

gotta try the fire cracker roll! very good sushi compared to most of the sushi spots in 757. very nice and humble Korean owners who know what they're doing. Clean and tidy restaurant that doesn't smell fishy. Favorite sushi restaurant in the area
