“Their sashimi and rolls are delicious and super fresh every time I visit (and I've come pretty often haha). I especially love their tako wasabi...but everything is fantastic! I have brought a lot of family and friends here and they all loved it here and thought the same - food is very fresh, amazing quality, and everything is very very tasty! The restaurant is also very modern, chic, and always very clean as well!The owners, chefs, manager, and servers are all amazing! Every time I go they are always very welcoming and attentive. Shout out to Kai who always goes above and beyond!The only downside is that parking is limited but that's not under their control! :)This restaurant really is a fantastic addition to the DMV area! ?“

“Hot pot was supper good with good portions per each person. Workers were super nice and are always walking around if you need anything. The prime rib was so tender and melts in your mouth. Not to mention the sauce that they give you the instructions to make is amazing and you can choose how much of an ingredient to add in.“

“Been to Guy Shige in the Mosaic District a bunch of times, and it's always a hit. This time, I grabbed some sushi, and man, it was the right move! The sushi was mega fresh, and the flavor was next level, especially with the real wasabi they grate on the spot – totally beats the regular stuff. Also had the oolong peach cream cake for dessert, and it was just perfect – the tea and peach combo wasn't too sweet or anything.On a previous visit, we tried the Wagyu. The waiter showed us how to enjoy it with a bit of pink salt and wasabi, and it was mind-blowingly good, way better than any ribeye I've had.Guy Shige is definitely my favorite spot for those special nights out. They always nail it with the food!“

“Beautiful interior!Price is on the expensive side, but I definitely think the food is worth the money.Their speciality menu is the Yakitori Platter, which is think is pretty good but I didn’t really like the roasted peppers, i honestly would rather just order everything else on the combo and add on something else other than the pepper. ?️Their spicy miso ramen had so much chili Oil that all I could taste was the chili oil and no miso. I’ll give it another try but my reviews stay at 4 due to this.“

“From the minute our party of two entered, the staff greeted us warmly and were very polite. To start, the chicken karaage was perfectly seasoned, crisp, and temperature hot - no sauce needed. For my meal, I ordered the nigiri only Omakase (Chef Inspired Platter) which came with a miso soup and salad. The taste brought me back to Japan. Our meal also came with dessert in which we chose the green tea ice cream which did not disappoint! Everyone working was attentive, informative, and wonderful. Will be back and would definitely recommend!“

Of course, now I get home and I am missing my yellow tail sashimi. Poor service and quality control of take out orders.“

“At this all you can eat lunch is 25.95. The location of the place is very convenient on the outside of Fair Oaks Mall. On the inside, the place is very clean and organized.When it came to the food, the first thing I opted for was the Sushi. They had rolls and Sashimi. They had a lot of the traditional options such as Spicy Tuna rolls and California Rolls. Overall I would say the quality of the fish was good. Nothing tasted off about it. The selection of sushi was pretty good however I will say that there was a lot of rice on the sushi rolls. With regards to the non-sushi items those were good as well. The standouts were the Korean Noodles, Korean Bulgogi/Galbi and the Pork Belly. Overall, this is not a place I would go to often but was definitely an enjoyable experience.“

“This a great option for something filling for a great price! We ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi, chicken and salmon hibachi, chicken dumplings, shrimp tempura roll, and 2 extra yummy sauces and paid $32. Quick and polite service! We were starving and ate the sushi and dumplings on the way home but the shrimp tempura roll was my favorite! It was warm and crunchy but I think that’s intended since it’s fried but I loved it especially with the pickled ginger. My food was filling and so good I ate the majority of it without the yummy sauce in the car lol. No regrets stopping here for quick to go dinner!“
