U-Gu Brooklyn Reviews
Sushi is amazing, ramen is amazing, and the food comes out fast! Definitely ordering again in the near future. The owners are also very delightful if you have any questions about the menu items. They just relocated to take out only which is still no problem for me.
SUSHI IS YUM. the quality of the fish is really really high; just order the sushi and you’ll have a 5 star experience. also I recommend the tie guan yin milk tea too if you just want to get a drink to go. there’s a little bit of space to eat inside but you can also get it to go and go to the pratt campus nearby ^^
This has been my favorite sushi delivery for nearly two years now. I always appreciate how quick the delivery is and the high quality of the fish. I especially love the Ikura and Scallop nigiri, as well as the spicy scallop roll and the Chef’s tasting set—they never disappoint!
Ordered take out here because it was the closest thing from my job. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and quality. The scallop roll was delicious! And the yellow tail roll tasted very fresh and clean
Great quality food, easily the best sushi place in town. Always struggling on what menu to get because I want all of them. I have too many photos because of revisits and I just never get sick of Ugu’s food.
Absolutely fantastic. We had 3 sushi rolls that slapped. The fish was so buttery smooth and just fantastic. We also got the classic ramen, which goes so hard. The broth was rich and hearty and so comforting. The chashu was insanely flavorful. We will absolutely be back.
Sushi was so good. Top notch. I’m a past bartender who worked in a sushi restaurant for a few years. It was very good. A little pricey but I’d prefer it to be if the quality is good. It was worth it. I got the sushi tasting menu. Yum. Will definitely come again. Also, sake was great and the ambience. Cheers! Kani salad was also good.
The best sushi place in all the neighborhood. I’m so glad we have this as an option!
Mostly fresh fishes, especially the fatty ones. The fatty ones are very buttery in texture. The lunch menu is different from the sushi menu but you can still ask for and order from the sushi menu. The preparation and presentation of their sushi pieces is very nice. The spring roll appetizer is great. Omakase is worth it. When you order, specify less or no wasabi if you don't like it. Milk tea is decent.
This place is a hidden gem. Chef’s suggestion Omakase is a must-try. Sashimi set is high quality. The restaurant is small and cozy!
I’m absolutely in LOVE with the ramen here! Ramen D Spicy is my recommendation! Cash only
This is the most amazing japanese hidden gem in Brooklyn. From the outside, one can never imagine the impeccable food there is inside. The most fresh and well cut fish selection I have ever had in NYC. The Salmon Tataki is a must, and the sushi selection is unexplainable. My favorite japanese in NY without a doubt.
WOW, how can anyone give this place less than 5 stars?! Best Sushi I have had anywhere!!! this place is a must if you are in the area…. a bit pricy, but well worth it.
scallop roll is sooo good, but the sushi burritos could use some work :))
Sushi is great, but my friends ordered ramen, and the noodles in the ramen are all sticked together and make them hard to eat. The sushi is too pricy in my opinion.
Amazing sushi, fresh and delicious combinations! The music and service is on point, and I absolutely love coming here. Highly recommend as a local joint with Brooklyn pricing and Manhattan sushi style
Good food and friendly staff. Try the"surprise me" omakase and the iced lemon kamquat green tea.
I had a lunch poke bowl with 4 types of fish. It was suberb. I shared it with my 2 year old daughter who took the picture of the ceiling. To elaborate, the decor is simple and modern, with burnt, polished wood. I would like to return to get more traditional sushi.
Got the taro milk tea but there was no milk. It was chalky and watery. The taro taste was minimal. Pudding add in had no flavor. Had to pay Venmo so heads up. There’s also no tables so only take out.
The worst ramen I’ve ever had in my life. So disappointing. It was literally corn and noodles, 1 egg and 4 small shrimps and water with salt. Tasteless. It’s a disrespect to the idea of ramen. And the cherry on top - we paid 18 dollars for that ramen (the total check was 88 dollars).
