Precisely a month in the past, Sushi Guys opened for enterprise at 283C Previous Colony Boulevard, in a good-looking new constructing alongside Previous Colony on the block between Vinton and Dorchester Streets.
The delicacies at Sushi Guys is deliciously Japanese all through. There’s an unimaginable number of menu picks that can fulfill each hungry buyer. We selected to dine on tasty bowls of miso broth accompanied by a serving of delicately flavored rice – the type of rice referred to as “sticky rice” by many South Bostonians (and that’s a praise). For entrees we determined upon maki, these sliced rolls of expertly crafted meals with memorable names. We selected the “Caterpillar” and “Katsu Fashion Loopy”, each of that are scrumptious. They have been created and served to us as actual artistic endeavors. Soy and tangy wasabi added to our enjoyment; we undoubtedly plan to return.
