WOW!!! Food quality is EXTREMELY nice. Nice "sample" plates for $3.95 REALLY and the Scallop Shooter Extra Fantastic. It's an understatement to say Eat Here. Staff extremely Nice. And to say they are always moving is an understatement. The door never stopped opening for pick-up orders and that was AMAZING. They could really use a spot 10x's the size. I came on a day it was thunderstorming outside and people came in drenched, and were happy.

太驚訝了,竟然在這裡可以吃到這麼道地的、好吃的日本壽司... 我去過日本九天,所以我知道它們的壽司真正的好吃。 這裡的店面不大,餐廳裡兩人的座位有點侷限,提供的開水也不夠冰冷。加上燈光昏暗,我的老花眼讓我很難仔細閱讀超細小字的menu, 所以大約看著圖片先點幾道菜品嚐。 是啊!每道料理我都喜歡,雖然每個壽司實在太過小巧但是製作精緻,而生魚片擺盤也真是漂亮,吃起來感覺很新鮮。加上醋薑和哇沙米無限供應,真是太滿足哩! 因為地點就在Jefferson park公車站旁邊,下了公車直接走過來享用,所以我還是希望能常常來。

Got sushi delivered to airport hotel and was pleasantly surprised how amazing it was! The sweet potato maki were some of the best I’ve had and were especially crispy and flavorful. The avocado and asparagus rolls were also very fresh and yummy.

I loved the sushi here and the spicy miso soup. I had the spicy crispy salmon and mini Godzilla rolls which were both fantastic and the service was excellent. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Gorilla Sushi filled my stomach and heart. If you’re looking for food, it’s a lovely place to start. It’s a hidden gem of a place. Eating their sushi will surely give you an O-face. *** Sa was a sweet & attentive server. The food was exquisitely delicious. The atmosphere felt home-like and cozy. Highly recommend!!!!!

I’ve ordered Gorilla Sushi from other locations and have always been satisfied. This was my first time ordering from this location and was not impressed. The sushi lacked flavor, was too watery, and not delicious. Big menu and creative options though!

Cute space. We ordered takeout. The prices were great the variety was awesome. We ordered for 10 people and the order was ready super quick. Everyone was also able to find something that they wanted on the menu. The food was fresh and everything was accurate. I just wish it had a little more flavor.
