Clermont just traded smoked meats for sushi rolls. Kingdom Sushi has opened on the Citrus Tower Boulevard strip, bringing an all-you-can-eat lineup to 1391 Citrus Tower Blvd in the former Ellie Lou’s Brews & BBQ space. The restaurant is running a mix of unlimited options and classic à la carte picks, with a modern dining room, bar seating, and a drive-thru for quick pickup runs.
According to South Lake Tablet, the spot “has officially opened its doors,” earning a nod for an “elegant and modern atmosphere” and a lengthy list of rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. The local write-up flagged Kingdom Sushi as a fit for date nights, family dinners, and celebrations, and called out the all-you-can-eat setup as the main hook.
Per Kingdom Sushi, Clermont’s all-you-can-eat lunch pricing runs $32.90 Monday through Thursday and $37.90 Friday through Sunday, with dinner set at $40.90. A Premium tier layers on upgraded selections at higher price points. The site lists daily hours of noon to 11 p.m., a contact number of (352) 988-5046, and notes that the location supports app ordering and rewards for frequent customers.
State licensing records show the Citrus Tower Boulevard address previously operated as Ellie Lou’s Brews & BBQ. The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation lists that license as “Closed” with a change of owner pending, confirming Kingdom Sushi took over an existing restaurant buildout rather than putting up a new structure.
Menu, Pricing and Practicalities
The Clermont menu mixes classic nigiri and sashimi with specialty rolls and warm kitchen dishes, and the chain promotes weekday deals such as kids eat free days and military discounts, according to Kingdom Sushi. OpenTable shows the location accepting reservations and drawing typical dinner hour demand, while the drive-thru and pickup options are set up to keep things moving when the rolls start flying out the door. Groups and families can upgrade to the Premium tier for an expanded range of choices.
What This Means For Clermont
All-you-can-eat sushi has been a crowd magnet in other U.S. cities, with some restaurants adding time limits or leftover surcharges to keep the model sustainable, according to Axios. For now, Kingdom Sushi’s arrival on Citrus Tower Boulevard gives Clermont a sizable, family-friendly dining option that is likely to become a hot ticket during dinner rushes and on weekend nights.
