I know better than to eat at a “fusion” place but nothing else was around. Ever chewed on a rubber band - yeah that would be the calamari here. Overly fried, fishy and chewy - just awful. We ordered the edamame and it was not cooked all the way through - how hard is it to stream some edamame. The chips were so shiny of oil - didn’t even eat them. Husband ordered the carne asada tacos trio and described them as “gristly” - drenched in whatever oils. Lastly I ordered the fried California roll and my tongue was on fire from the salt content. $100 bucks later awful food and I will say - “never again.” Go eat at inn and out instead for 1/3 of the price. We were road tripping and had already had inn and out so figured we’d give this a try.

Innovative combinations and great flavors make the food outstanding. I had the taco macho. Shrimp and octopus were surrounded by sour cream and avocado and a full Anaheim chile (mild). There was cheese too and the flour tortilla was crisped just right. Bring your appetite! One overflowing taco may be enough! Quesabirria only on weekends! Excellent service and great music, not to mention the busy decor, made this place fun!

Amazing food and great vibes! I had a delicious meal at Culichi’s after shopping at the outlets with friends. The menu offered a variety of options for all of us, fresh seafood, tacos, sushi rolls, to name a few. Everything we ordered was delish. Can’t wait to go back and also try other items on the menu. The staff was friendly and attentive so that’s a plus. Definitely a great spot to enjoy drinks and food with friends or family.

Culichis Urban Kitchen is hands down one of the best sushi and seafood restaurants in the city! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is energetic, modern, and welcoming perfect for a night out, celebrations, or just enjoying amazing food. The appetizers are flavorful and perfectly prepared, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal. The cold bar seafood is incredibly fresh, with bold flavors that really stand out. If you’re a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit. Their sushi is next level with creative rolls, high-quality ingredients, and beautiful presentation. Every bite tastes fresh and well-balanced, making it clear why Culichis is known for having some of the best sushi in town. FYI! Only restaurant worth driving to in Gilroy but the biggest perk is you can go shopping after. Anyways, the steaks are juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection, offering something amazing for everyone at the table. Don’t miss the drinks they’re strong, refreshing, and pair perfectly with the menu. Whether you choose a signature cocktail or a classic favorite, the bar delivers every time. My favorite is the Culichis Paloma 🤤. With outstanding food, great service, and an unbeatable menu featuring seafood, sushi, steaks, appetizers, and drinks, Culichis Urban Kitchen truly stands out. If you’re looking for the top sushi and seafood restaurant in the city, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! 🌟🍣🦞🥩

I absolutely love this restaurant and always leave impressed. The food, ambience, and employees are all amazing; from the warm, welcoming service to the inviting and lively atmosphere!
I’m a repeat customer because their dishes never disappoint. My go-to is the New York Steak; a perfectly grilled 12 oz steak, served with roasted veggies and creamy garlic mashed potatoes. It’s flavorful, tender, and consistently cooked just right. I also can’t get enough of The Rikki roll. The combination of cucumber and shrimp tempura inside, tuna and avocado on the outside. The Camarones Culichis are another standout! It’s rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Finally, the Molcajete Mar y Tierra is a must-try. The combination of carne asada, chicken, shrimp, nopales, jalapeño, beans, cheese, and chile toreado is packed with flavor and perfect for sharing…or enjoying all to yourself!!
Overall, this place never misses. The quality, consistency, and experience keep me coming back every time. Highly recommend!

We found this place located next to shoe Palace at the Gilroy outlets while we were shopping for Christmas gifts. The experience was phenomenal! We enjoyed their new brunch menu. The mimosas Were very delicious and we also Had the waffles. We enjoyed the Service as well the lady that helped us was very sweet and very attentive. We will be coming back soon.

Sushi rolls are we're pretty good for the price we paid. They had a deal 3 rolls for $40 deal (limited selection) we ordered 6 rolls. 2x Guerra roll, Rikki, tetu, tropical mango roll, Gilroy roll.
Got a deal on door dash 25% off. so we paid $68.XX total (picked up) for 6 rolls . $11 per roll which is cheap compared to most sushi spots.
They were all pretty good, but my favorites were Gilroy roll & Guerra roll.
Sushi rice on the roll wasn't that good, a little dry, could be a lot better. Each roll came with a roasted pepper, soy sauce & spicy mayo, but no ginger or wasabi.
At full price I think the rolls are a bit overpriced for the quality you get, but for what I paid ~$11 per roll it's a great deal & would order again.
If you’re already shopping at the outlets, this is one of the better spots to stop for a quick bite—just don’t expect it to be worth going out of your way for. It’s a shame the place isn’t nearly as good as it was when it first opened. The food always looks great, but the flavors are average, and the cooks can be inconsistent. You might get a great meal one day and a very “mid” one the next.
If you want an aguachile that’s not too spicy, the aguachile de tamarindo is a solid choice, while the mango habanero has a nice kick. The tacos are consistently good. I’d stay away from the salmon—it was overcooked—and the pasta was too greasy. The calamari bites are on the small side but have a satisfying crunch.
My bf got sick after eating here.
