A new all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant is officially open for business in Ocala.
Sushi Feast recently opened its doors at 3500 SW College Road, Suite 400, following an extensive renovation of the former site of Yummy House.
The establishment is owned by Ocala resident Jian H. Chen, Jr. Chen and his team conducted a complete redesign of the interior, with an updated dining room that features new booth seating, modern wood-slat wall accents, and hanging lantern-style lamps.
The facility also includes a redesigned sushi bar and a kitchen outfitted with new commercial cooking equipment.
The restaurant’s primary draw is its all-you-can-eat dining model, which includes a wide selection of specialty rolls, sashimi, and traditional Japanese appetizers.
The menu at Sushi Feast is divided into lunch, dinner, and takeout options. The lunch menu features a streamlined selection of classic rolls and nigiri, complemented by hot appetizers such as gyoza, spring rolls, and various tempura options.
For the dinner service, the menu expands to include premium chef’s special rolls, an increased variety of fresh sashimi, and specialty kitchen dishes like teriyaki and udon.
For those dining off-site, Sushi Feast provides a specific to-go menu with a la carte pricing. These options include individual rolls, hibachi-style grilled meats, and fried rice. The restaurant also offers party platters and pre-set sushi combinations for takeout customers.
As of its opening, the all-you-can-eat lunch is priced at $19.95 for adults. Children between the ages of 3 and 7 can dine for $8.95 during lunch, and children ages 8 to 11 can dine for $12.95.
For dinner, adults dine for $32.95, children between the ages of 3 and 7 dine for $11.95, and children between the ages of 8 and 11 are $16.95.
Sushi Feast is open Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Lunch is available from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and dinner is in effect for all other hours and weekends.
The opening of Ocala’s newest sushi restaurant adds to a growing list of Japanese and Asian-inspired dining options that have recently debuted nearby.
That includes Samurai Hibachi and Ramen (2606 SW 19th Avenue Road) and Koto Japanese Steakhouse (3811 SW College Road), both of which opened last year.
In addition to the new restaurants, Yummy House, which vacated the former space in June of last year, is in the process of relocating to 2510 SW 27th Avenue.
