Talk about a place that could use just a bit more space! Great food and service. Enjoyed it immensely! Great bento boxes.

I work in a restaurant and what I’ve experienced at this establishment is beyond poor management, service and quality. Me and a friend got there at 9:30 as a walk in, in which they seated us. Upon seating the startling server came to the table to take the order when we didn’t even get a chance to open the menu. She said that we had to order really fast because the kitchen is closing and that they need to put it in now (understandable but very rude delivery). While we were still eating the server said I had to pay the bill now because they needed to close the register. Mind you it’s not even 10pm yet it’s still around 9:45. Regardless I still paid and tipped when I absolutely shouldn’t have for that poor customer service. The food was not good. I’ve been here before and it’s a decent spot I had no complaints but this time around completely different it was absolutely dreadful to be in there. The food was just not good. A few minutes past 10 one of the other workers comes to the table and says “sorry it’s 10 we are closed you need to leave” as there was another table behind us. They started to turn on all of the lights to indicate us to leave. When I got home I felt absolutely terrible. I had food poisoning from this place all night long I was throwing up everything I had eaten. Just stay away it’s not worth stoping by. Very disappointed.

I had the grilled shrimp and mango salad with a side of avocado. Was absolutely delicious. I had a wonderful time with my longtime friend having dinner for a couple of hours. The ambience was wonderful and the waitress was amazing & attentive.

I was having such a great time here that I forgot to take pictures. They have happy hours from 3pm-10pm, I believe every day. Beers for $4.5. Cocktails for $7. Appetizers were delish. Especially the fried rice one. We also order sushi and sashimi.

I ordered through their website and pick up time was confirmed for 11:33. I showed up at 12pm order was not ready. It seems like it was overlooked altogether. On top of waiting, they charged me $1 for spicy mayo sauce.

I went to this location for lunch because of my LOVE for Japanese cuisine, but was immediately turned off due to the incredibility rude attitude of the woman at the front counter. She was not friendly, wouldn't not answer a question, and was not focused on helping customers.After ordering and having, she picked up the phone and told a customer on the phone that "No, it's your fault you ordered the item. I don't care", and hung up on the customer. She was then rude to another customer that walked into the restaurant.In addition, after my food was ready she basically tossed my food towards me. I respectfully said "Thank you" with a smile because I have better morals and ethics. Please DO YOURSELF a favor and avoid restaurants like these. It's not good to keep allowing restaurants to thrive when they treat customers in a unfair and unfriendly manner. I will NEVER return to this place, and will continue to post about GU Japanese to multiple review and discussion platforms. AVOID GU Japanese PLEASE.

The restaurant is extremely beutiful, I enjoyed very much the salmon dinner the items were high quality and the price was just right!!! All the staff is really friendly the hostess got us to our table quickly and we didn’t had to wait long until our server Lee got to our table, she brought everything in a timely manner and got us a dessert menu at the end, the mochis were delicious and they are different from the cheap ones you can buy at a store they felt more authentic. I’ll be coming back on my next trip to NYC definitely a place to pass by

Amazing sushi, definitely recommend. Only problem is the music. Seems a trend, every restaurant i go in around here is playing loud music for children. Overall, great place though.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian in Latin translates to "bad hunter"Wheelchair accessibility: Nothing fancy, it's on ground level

Easy, local, flavorful, diverse full menu, great cocktail selection. I try not to miss this spot at least once for quaint low-key sushi after work. It can get loud cause it's small but it's still nicer than most with reasonable prices.Hot green teaSunset RollTuna Family Roll
