Sushi Guys

We went on Valentine’s Day knowing it would probably be a crazy wait. They said it would be a 2 hour wait, so we walked somewhere nearby for a drink and ordered Sushi Guys takeout and it was actually done quicker than expected! The sushi was delicious! The fish was so fresh and the combinations were unique and worked so well together.

I stopped in for lunch though ordered from the regular menu. This is a very unassuming, no frills spot when it comes to the tableware and interior, but wow, the sushi is truly legit. I ordered some of the a la carte omakase pieces -- all were good with the hamachi and scallop as the personal favorites -- and The City roll. While there, I spoke with one of the owners, who was great. It's very small as the others mention, but the sushi was awesome. I would very highly recommend the place for the food, and I think the no frills element makes me like the place even more because they clearly focus on serving excellent sushi.

We walked 20 minutes to try this place because of the high rating and was truly disappointed and ended up getting another lunch right after. There was no greeting from the owners behind the counter, even though we were the only guests. We eventually picked up the menus ourselves, only to find that the prices were higher than comparable places. For $40, we got two rolls, paper plates, disposable chopsticks, two small bottles of water — and not a single smile. The rolls were bland. I honestly don’t understand how this place has such high ratings. Definitely a spot to avoid.

I'm a recently diagnosed celiac who has been struggling with finding gluten free sushi roll options, limiting me to mostly nigiri and sashimi. Sushi Guys not only offers fresh sashimi and nigiri options but a number of their rolls can be made gluten free! This usually means removing all of the sauces and tempura at other places. Sushi Guys replaced the sauce with GF options and the tempura with crispy rice puffs! My husband (not GF) said the GF Castle roll is one of the best rolls he's ever had.

Amazing sushi spot! Their house Makis are divine! Great selection on pretty much everything. Lowkey a hidden gem! Definitely has been added to my top sushi spots easily.
