We like to support new restaurants in the area and decided to give Guji a try for lunch. It also was enticing to receive a 25% discount on any meals eaten in the restaurant. They advertise themselves as an all you can eat buffet. To our surprise, there was no buffet, and you simply checked off items on a slip of paper which using their judgement they later brought to you some of the items we requested. The food was satisfactory at best but pleasantly presented. It probably should have been better chilled. Unfortunately, the bad service ruined our experience. There was only one other customer in the restaurant, and we were ignored for most of the time that we were there. The waitress was sweeping, mopping, cleaning the water and soda machinery. We had to ask for her attention on multiple occasions. The ambience was not inviting. It is very large and kept very cold. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. We always give a new place a chance, but in this case, one chance is enough. read more

Went with a big group for an all you can eat sushi night! Yum! The presentation of our rolls on the boat was beautiful, but the presentation of everything was well done! We ordered so many things I couldn't keep track but I can't think of anything I didn't like. My only issue was that if you weren't an avid sushi person you might not remember what was what so labels might be handy. The service was quick and friendly. They kept the water and tea coming and anything else was patient with our large crew. I love the clever addition of the soft serve for dessert! Nice! My new go to for sushi nearby! read more

This is hard to process as this was such a new gem with high quality food and really nice owners. I am sure the owners spent lots of resources on startup which is quite challenging amongst so many other local favorites and options - but they were way better than some of the others. I wish folks gave them a try. I think they would have killed it in a smaller venue to start. So sad to hear this and would love to know if they ever reopen anywhere. read more

Seafood soon tofu had one mussels and the tiniest shrimp and seafood bits I have ever seen. Far cry from the Korean restaurants in NYC area. Banchan was ok but never offered to bring us more. Spicy wings dint have that delicious Korean pepper paste flavor, more of a sweet and sour taste. read more

Great value for the All you can eat sushi joint. Came hungry and we ate so much sashimi and nigiri and rolls!! Sashimi and sushi were pretty fresh. Salmon and white albacore(white tuna) were the best. Don't really like the eel (unagi) , they have bones in them. Squids nigiri was good! Also the hamachi (yellowtail) and maguro were pretty good! Hamachi ponzu appetizer came with just very thin slices. A little disappointing... salmon tartar was just ok but the Chopped avocado was ripened perfectly. Best rolls: spider and shrimp tempura!!! Godzilla roll and negihama (scallion yellowtail) were our favorites too. Spicy salmon had some bones in them!!! Spicy yellowtail was pretty good. Overall, the service was pretty decent! Server was nice and friendly! Clean and spacious interior, comfortable seating, bathrooms were nice and clean, host was friendly. Would definitely recommend this place! Don't know how long they will have the grand opening deal, get it while you can. It's worth the visit! read more

Went here after a long day of work looking for a great meal. The staff was energetic and fun. The sushi was ok. The kani salad was pretty flavorless and priced high for what you get. I didn't realize that they had AYCE until coming on here to read the reviews. So I paid almost $40 for the above when I would have def done the AYCE for less if I was told about it. I feel like that's just a let down. read more

One of the better AYCE sushi spots in Orange/New Haven. Lunch options are a bit more limited than dinner, but makes sense for the price. Oh, their price is probably the best for AYCE in the Greater New Haven Area. If you go on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, the price is under 20 for lunch under 25 for dinner. Guji is great for group dinners, as they have plenty of non-raw fish options for the non-sushi lovers. For raw fish lovers, go for dinner not lunch...Dinner has sashimi. read more

Super cute place with lot's of room to have party's and friends and family gathering delicious food they have fruits in the buffet area they also have self-serve ice cream which is a plus both flavors chocolate and vanilla you do it yourself the food is amazing. And the service of super nice I appreciated it. read more

A brand new restaurant in town means we HAD to try it! We love to give support to new, locally owned restaurants and this place far exceeded our expectations!! It surely blows any of the competition right out of the water! When I tell you everything was light, extremely fresh and flavorful, wow just wow! The restaurant is immaculate, beautifully decorated and the staff are the most gracious! We did the all you can eat sushi but they also offer a regular menu with delicious staple Japanese cuisine items, even hibachi! We were thoroughly impressed with the sashimi pieces (color, size and flavor). The sushi plating was so elegant (even had a cute little radish) and creative. We were astounded with the quality and amount of food we got the price, they also offer a VIP program where you can receive discounts as appreciation for your patronage. We were lucky enough to have met the owners and they were incredibly kind and generous. When I tell you this place is hands down the best, trust me-- don't sleep on it! read more

We went to this large sushi restaurant with a large group and had no problem being seated at a large table. The staff was very friendly and responsive to our requests and the sushi was wonderful. We definitely got all we could eat and no one in our group left hungry and everyone left with a smile on their face. We went with the all you can eat option and it was well worth the price. I think it was $33 for all you can eat but please double check that amount. There was also a seafood bag you can get that one person in our party ordered and it looked huge and delicious for the same price. All in all a very nice spot to indulge in your Japanese cuisine desires! read more

Loved our first visit into Guji. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious!! So fresh and flavorful! We'll definitely be back! read more

I really enjoyed it. We've been in Orange since 2019, and our go to sushi is Momo in Milford, or Wasabi. Guji is on par and provides a consistent experience and their "VIP" marketing has been perfect for buzz. Give them your business. Friendly competition among Momo, Wasabi, and Guji is welcome! Maybe a hibachi offering in the future? read more

10/10 experience! Large variety of unique sushi rolls on the menu. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. Staff was very friendly and stopped by multiple times to check on things/ offer more menus (including the owner)! Environment was very clean, peaceful, updated. read more

The food was good and was a great environment. I had seafood teriyaki, and it tasted amazing - lobster meat, scallops and shrimp! Very fresh sushi sashimi. My kids love the appetizers from kitchen esp. the rock shrimp are fried jumbo shrimp size and fried crispy outside and juicy inside. My server was very nice and even gave me extra scoop of ice cream. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving quality Japanese cuisine. Food and service were excellent. Speedy and friendly service. read more

Tried this recently opened place for the first time on a Monday evening. The place was big and clean, we were greeted as soon as we walked in by a very nice and polite young girl who took us to our table. A waiter came very quickly to take our order and was very attentive. Our food came very fast. We order the rock shrimp and fried calamari from the all you can eat menu. Me and my wife were not impressed with neither. The calamari was very salty and the rock shrimp looked more like shrimp dumplings than anything, also, the sauce they used seemed like it came from a bottle as opposed to the home made ones from all the other sushi places we've tried. It also tasted just like wings buffalo sauce, not to mention how big they were which made it very awkward to eat because they were shaped like an onion ring. We also ordered some sushi and sashimi from the all you can eat menu which was ok considering the price which was $22 per person. Not sure if I'll give it another try. read more

Guji - "Rock shrimp"? And fried calamari - Japanese Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

Chicken is dry. Calamari feels like rubber. The sushi is average. Servers were rude, the food came out very slow, they forgot or lost our orders, and didn't bring back credit cards. There's much room for them to improve! read more

Guji is located in the former Wood and Tap building. All you can eat sushi but we are not sushi people. We all ordered the hibachi meals. They come with soup and salad, fried rice (most give white rice and up charge for fried) so I was pleasantly surprised. We also had the Gyoza appetizer which was excellent. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. Everything was delicious. Will definitely return. read more

Superb food, atmosphere, and service! We chose the AYCE option, and the experience was better than we'd expected: every item of food was beautifully cooked and plated; the servers are kind, generous and helpful; and the price was very reasonable. This new restaurant is a must try!! read more

The food is really well made and very new restaurant that needs love. The service was really quick and the server was really nice!! The ice cream is really good for desert as well!! read more

Guji - A rectangular white plate holds three pieces of sushi, topped with fried tempura bits and drizzled with sauce, garnished with purple flower petals. Accompanying the sushi are dollops of wasabi and pickled ginger on the right side of the plate. Behind the plate, a tall glass of Pepsi soda with ice and a straw is visible. The setting is a restaurant table with napkins and utensils nearby, and the surface appears to be light-colored wood. - Japanese Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

Got steak and salmon hibachi and it was the skimpiest portion I've ever got from any hibachi place across CT. My salmon was also over done and hard. I won't be coming back here again. read more

Service was Great waitress was more than helpful! There was a very wide variety of items on the menu. All of which looked delicious . I am a sushi addict. had two rolls which were delicious .
