The food is fine- the quality is what you'd expect for $4.99 sushi. I'm writing more so as someone that's had uncomfortable experiences here as a woman of color. Since this is the closest sushi place to me I've been here several times and every time the woman/man couple or whoever they are that bring you the orders are cold/hostile. At first I brushed it off as them just being busy but I've noticed how much warmer they are with other customers. I ignored the few times they've confused me for an Uber eats driver. One time they chided me for being "too early" to pick up my order so today I arrived 15 mins after the pickup time. I tell them my name and nothing- they don't let me know if my order will take longer or if there's any issues. I wait on the side for another 15 mins and when they finally hand me my order there's no acknowledgment of it being 30 mins late or not even correct as I discovered when I got home. However the whole time they're perfectly pleasant, thanking and exchanging pleasantries with other patrons. After today dont think I'll be returning to pay for incorrect, late orders with a side of prejudice.

This is the first time ordering at this location and I was more than disappointed …. The fried shrimp was cold and the box was broken it seems liked they microwaved it … the spider rolls had expired seafood and had a bad taste to it I just spit it out and the Thai tea was garbage I didn’t even drink it all plus my girlfriends stomach started cramping up after we ate the food ….. I order the same thing at different location at the same price and never have I ate something this bad I recommend going to another location if you want sushi because this one ain’t it…. I only ate it because I was hungry but I didn’t even enjoy it

The portion was teeny tiny, they were able to comfortably place 4 rolls into one tiny container, that’s how small they are. It was supposed to be meals for 2, we wouldn’t even get full for 1…The presentation was pretty much the only positive thing out of this experience. The sushi rice was hard, possibly reused from the night before, or being in the fridge for a while. Ginger has a weird taste to it. To be honest, we ended up eating what we can find at home and throw away the whole thing for food hygiene, health and safety concerns.

Gorilla Sushi is affordable and delicious. I pick up take out here a few times per month, and it’s always prepared quickly. I don’t know any other sushi place this good that is this reasonably priced. We will keep coming back again and again!
Parking: There is paid street parking, but the 22 bus and 72 bus also stop right here for when you don’t feel like driving. There’s also plenty of bike parking along Clark.

I ordered the sweet potato and caterpillar rolls with a Thai Tea. Both the Thai Tea and Sweet Potato rolls were good, just nothing to really set them apart from what I've gotten at some other places.The caterpillar rolls were a step up though! If you love avocado and don't have an allergy to eel, get these.
