I cannot speak more highly of this place! Great quality sushi and great food overall! My partner doesn’t like sushi but he loves their noodle dishes so youll be able to find something for everyone here! I am so lucky to live close by to this place and it not be crazy over priced. If you are in a rush, I’m not sure if I would recommend as it is a little small and there is usually only one server, but that’s another reason I love this place. Just very homey and fun decorations too!

The atmosphere is nice and spacious, and I loved the anime theme. However, the veggie dumplings were flavorless, the rice portion for a $20 meal was just a small cup with no refills, and the ‘cooked’ potatoes in our plates were still raw, which was disappointing. We were only checked on once to take our order and not again throughout the meal. Overall, the service and food portions were very disappointing.

I loved the manga theme and the decors. It was spacious inside. The food was very tasty. If the rice and the meat could be a little softer, it would be perfect. The Tom yum was fantastic. The restroom was clean. The price was reasonable. The people who worked there were nice and helpful!

My partner and I happened upon this place by accident as we’d had a reservation elsewhere but the staff was terrible.. it was meant to be because Mayu was amazing. Truly.
The vibes were immaculate. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was genuinely some of the best I’ve had in carytown.
It took me a second to get the theme of what was going on but once I did I loved it even more. The food came out very fast and everything, legitimately every bit, was fantastic.
We got 2 beers, 2 appetizers, 3 sushi rolls, and split pad Thai.. it was only $75.. and the quality was remarkable. The cucumber salad is so good we tried getting 4 orders to go. The sushi was fresh and well made. The pad Thai may be my personal favorite in Richmond.. I didn’t realize the person bringing us our food was actually one of the owners and what a gem of a human he was.
Above the bar played an anime movie and the wall decor matched. Its subtle anime theme works so well. I just can’t recommend this place enough.
Seriously.
Go. Tonight.. tomorrow night. Daily.
Once they open at 4 today I will be ordering a bunch of that cucumber salad to go.

Went for a low key birthday dinner for a family member. Everything was cooked to perfection. The spice level was as requested. Their flavors were fantastic. Normal dinner portions (some to go home). A clean restaurant from the walls, floors, tables, lights, and even the ceiling fans. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly. After a large sake, an appetizer, and dinner, the bill was over $100, which seemed reasonable.

This delightful little sushi restaurant has become one of our favorites when we visit Carytown, near Richmond Virginia. This restaurant features delicious, and unique sushi dishes based on a famous anime franchise.
The sushi is fairly low cost compared to others but it’s totally worth it. I really recommend the soy boy! It’s probably my favorite house specialty roll.
The staff is friendly and the restaurant was clean during our multiple visits. This place is absolutely LBGTQ+ friendly.

My husband and I ordered the shrimp crab rice, shrimp & veggie tempura, dumplings & tuna roll and it was so delicious. The combination of flavors along with the cold Saki chef kiss! Will definitely go back.

This establishment offers a delightful dining experience for those seeking an exquisite sushi meal. The seafood is impeccably fresh, while the appetizers are delectable in taste. The service provided is commendable, and the ambiance exudes a charming and intimate atmosphere. I highly recommend this establishment to those in search of exceptional Asian cuisine in the Richmond, Virginia area. I personally look forward to returning in the future!

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised since we hadn’t heard of this spot before. This is a revamp, more or less, of Thai Diner Too, with an expanded menu. The decor references a number of animes, most notably with the wanted poster wall of One Piece characters.
Seating is mostly small tables that can be combined (they pulled two together for our family of four). The tables are reasonably spaced (you’re not tight, elbow to elbow, like some downtown spots) but it would be difficult to fit a large crowd, especially during peak hours. We came a little before 6 pm and had seats available, but by 6:15/6:30, the wait was 30+ min, so I’d come early or late on rush nights.
The food was good. I got the fried rice, which was yummy, if not particularly novel, and my husband got curry, which was also delicious. Our kids really wanted sushi, so we tried a couple of different rolls, the Saiyan and Joy Boy, as well as tuna and salmon maki rolls. NOTE that during peak dining hours, they don’t take modifications for rolls in order to speed up making orders. Our kids enjoyed their sushi and all the food came out within a reasonable amount of time.
I am taking off one star because of the portion sizes for the sushi – even though they’re cut into 6 pieces, they’re half the size of rolls you might get at other sushi spots. The prices for the special rolls are less than other sushi spots, but you will have to order more rolls here, and the rolls themselves are simpler and less full. As an adult, I am usually content after a special roll and maybe a bowl of soup, but we ordered 2 special rolls and 2 maki rolls and edamame for our 4 and 5 year old. The maki rolls in particular are quite small, as you can tell by the last photo – that is my 4 year old son’s hand reaching for a piece.
The serving size of the two Thai dishes we ordered was normal, it’s just the sushi serving that caught us off guard. This does allow you to try more sushi if you want to think of it as almost tapas style? And the Build Your Own option is nice for people who are picky or have dietary restrictions, but just be aware that if you’re looking at prices, it’s not a spot for cheap sushi, it’s just smaller servings.
In general, we enjoyed our dinner and the spot is quite popular with families, students, professionals, etc. If you’re looking for a new spot for sushi or thai, it’s certainly worth a try, but if you already have a go-to, there’s nothing on the menu here I would come out of my way to check out.

After window shopping in Carytown, Mayu Sushi & Thai was a quiet respite for lunch. Our group of four people walked in on a Sunday in January around 1:30pm and got a table right away.
Everyone built their own sushi except for me. I got the Tom Kha soup. It was delicious! My seven-year-old daughter built her own California Roll and devoured it. We ended up ordering a second one for her.
Service was friendly and quick.
The restrooms are in the basement. If you have young kids, I’d walk them down as the stairs are steep.
