Customer Reviews
How good is this place? We went twice in one week after discovering it! The sushi is as good as you could ever want it. Wakame salad is clearly not the pre-made kind, you can tell by the flavor. We had fried octopus, spicy tuna roll, the crunchy roll that was half tuna half eel and an assortment of other rolls. Everything was delicious and fresh! The thing that really impressed me though is how unbelievably good their spicy mayo is. You can tell great care is taken in sourcing of ingredients and preparation, this coming from somebody with 30 years in the restaurant business. I have not one negative thing to say about this place. What a gem!
Gari of Sushi is absolutely the best! Great staff, cozy atmosphere, and the BEST miso soup I’ve ever had. Wish I could give this place a million stars.
If you like sushi, you need to try Gari Sushi. Don’t let the modest exterior fool you. I was also suspicious the first time I came here. It is some of the best sushi and Japanese comfort food around. The Tsunami Salmon is an absolute must-try. I have had it more than 20 times. The flavors are fresh and delicious. Their udon is perfectly rich and comforting, and the seaweed salad is one of the best. Every dish is made with so much care, and you can taste the difference. What really makes Gari Sushi special, though, is the people. The owner and his sister run the place almost entirely on their own, and their dedication is unmatched. They treat every customer like family, making each visit feel personal and welcoming. This place deserves way more attention. If you’re in the area, don’t hes
I ordered four rolls and an appetizer through the DoorDash online order. My order was confirmed and I was told my food would be ready in one hour at 8 o’clock. At 7:45 I left my house to go pick up my order and then noticed a text message had come through 20 minutes prior saying my food is ready for pick up. I called the restaurant and explained that I would not be there for another 15 minutes and then I had a 15 minute drive home And that my food was supposed to be ready For pick up at 8 PM not 7:40pm And that I was still 15 minutes away. Since the food had been made so early, my concern was that by the time I would get it home, it would have been sitting out for over 45 minutes and we got tempura rolls which when they’re left inside Styrofoam they get soggy. I asked the owner if he coul
This used to be one of my go to sushi places YEARS ago (maybe around 2006 or 2007). And let me say, we do eat sushi quite a bit. My son got gyoza that was not bad. I ordered the salmon avocado roll which was ok but really small and probably not something I'd order again. I also got the crunch eel which also just ok but the best out of the 4 rolls my wife and I ordered. My wife ordered the dynamite roll and the spicy tuna roll. Right off the bat she noticed the tuna was looking way redder than usual and she always gets spicy tuna every time we get sushi. She took a bite and immediately noticed that is tasted fishier than any tuna she's had. I tasted it and it tasted alright at first but the aftertaste had some kind of strong chemical taste to it and the taste stuck in my mouth throughout
