It's located in a shopping center with plenty of parking and other shops. The place is very inviting, quiet, and staff are always very prompt to seat you and friendly. The crab ragoon is very good and comes out hot. Their Thai iced tea is a favorite! Thr rolls are a nice size and you get 8 pieces. I love how they plate their sushi! Prices are very good, especially their lunch specials, however we always order specialty rolls. read more

Stopped by here for a solo dinner. I really wanted something with a little vegetables so I started with the tofu veggie soup. The server said there was bok choy but all mine had were onions and carrots. I then ordered the rainbow roll and seared salmon. Rainbow roll was good but the seared salmon was best. I also saw they had hibachi on their menu so if I came back I'd definitely try this. Nice interior with friendly staff. Lots of parking but the parking lot looked like there was construction or renovation happening. read more

Was looking for a place to stop on our way home from the coast and saw this place along the way. We weren't sure what the vibe would be based on the parking lot but it was great! Very fresh inside nice sushi bar and drink bar. Our service was great! Our waiter was very nice and checking to see how we liked our food. And all our food was so good! My favorite was the dragon egg, I could eat that every time Al's the Thai iced tea was perfect. read more

door-dashed the salmon sushi and it was delicious!!! it was quick and close by and the price of salmon were thick on top! there are plenty of places that skimp on salmon and covered large clumps of rice with thin slices but this place didn't disappoint! highly recommend. read more

Doordash dinner was great. I got a Hawaii roll and the chicken katsu Bento Box. It was enough food for 2 but I was just in heaven. It was full of delicious fried treats like shumai, tempura veggies, shrimp and delicately fried chicken with a savory brown sauce (tonkatsu). White rice and salad with a creamy ginger dressing. Very happy with it and have left overs for the air fryer. read more

Kuyi Sushi - Chicken Katsu Bento Dinner Box! Via Doordash. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

I made an online order for a Spicy Maki Combo and it was ready within 6 minutes of me placing the order. That was impressive. One more thing to note is that their Spicy Maki Combo does not come with a California Roll. This is always a plus for me because a lot of places tend to just put a California Roll with spicy mayo on top in their Spicy Maki Combo and call it a day. I mean if you like California Rolls then that's a good thing but I'm here for the fish. I ordered a normal Maki Combo one time and it did come with a spicy roll which I found interesting. Everywhere is different! Nice to change it up as this is the first place I have seen do this. If you order sushi combo entrees a lot then you'd understand what I'm talking about. Their sushi itself was very good. Good quality, exactly as I would expect. The service was really friendly and the ambiance was quite nice! I don't have much else to say but I seriously appreciated how fast they were able to take care of my online orders as my girlfriend placed the order while we were driving there. We don't live far at all and they still managed to get the order out in less than 6 minutes! Solid Japanese restaurant, but nothing more than that. I guess I'll give them a 99/100 on their speed rating. Each time I made an online order here they were so fast that I bothered writing about it. read more

I would give this place a 3.5... it's better than a 3, but not perfect. The sushi wasn't as flavorful as other places I enjoy in Middletown and Wethersfield. But they had a large selection of rolls, it seemed fresh, and the sushi had a nice presentation and the restaurant had a cool visual atmosphere. I didn't like that there was a large vibrating compressor sound/noise that was very loud through our dinner that seemed to come from behind the bar. It was very distracting, and couldn't hear myself think. Didn't make for good conversation atmosphere during dinner. The waiter was nice enough but took quite some time to check in or deliver things given there were only two other couples in the restaurant. read more

Kuyi Sushi - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

Wow guys, this little sushi restaurant is a hidden gem! I just ordered the Prince Roll and it was amazing. Smooth snd delicious! And I also ordered a rainbow roll too and although this roll is so ordinary Kuyi goes the extra mile to make it taste like a special roll. I wish I spent my money here all past the times we ordered sushi instead of the town over. This place makes the rolls fresh, tasty, and big. The rice is soft, it's compact and looks so pretty. High quality. You can tell when rolls are thrown together because they fall apart, or are super tiny with stale rice. Not this place. I was really impressed. Ordering from their website was easy and the man who took the phone order was so very nice and friendly! It's worth the drive from wherever you live. A+ sushi! They have a huge parking lot and it's pretty inside! Try it sometime! You'll love how high quality they make the rolls. Oh, and the gyoza/dumpling soup was smooth and delicious! I really love this Sushi place! read more

Kuyi Sushi - Amazing! Prince roll :) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

Pretty decent, but I was a little disappointed with the size of the rolls. They were too big! I know, not the worst thing in the world, but I felt that the balance was off. Their prices are already very fair so I think they could get away with using less meat or veggies in the rolls so the bite size is less intense. Between the standard rolls and the special rolls, I would definitely go for the special rolls! They are absolutely gigantic, flavorful, and a great value. We tried one with tempura shrimp and mango which was very yummy. The Avocado was a little over ripe but aside from that everything tasted fresh and flavorful! The free seaweed salad with $35 purchase was greatly appreciated! read more

Food was great! It was fresh, fast, delicious! Not over crowded on a Saturday night. Service was good. I enjoyed their dragon egg! Very unique! Their crab Rangoon + the dipping sauce was fantastic! I had tried their margarita and it was good. I would say their hibachi is tasty but my only complaint is wayyy too much sauce. I also wished they gave us empty plates to split the appetizers. read more

I can be very picky about my sushi rolls. Well seasoned and moist center, tightly wrapped rice and nori and of course presentation. Kuyi scored on all 3 fronts! I have ordered Spicy Maki Combo (Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon and Spicy Yellowtail). I though that 18 pieces will spare me some leftovers for next day. How foolish I was :) only thing to regret is that my feast ended so quickly. Highly recommended to all every Sushi lover! read more

We usually do take out but thought we would dine in since it was a special occasion for us. There was only 1 other table of people but it seemed like the staff were more occupied with to go orders. We ordered drinks and a few appetizers and asked for a few minutes before we ordered sushi. Our drinks and apps came and no one came back to take our sushi order, finally I asked a different person who came to clear our plates. We put our order in and the sushi was delicious. It took a while to get our check. I think I'll stick with take out. read more

Kuyi Sushi - Chicken Hibachi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

This is my new go to sushi takeout spot. Every other place in the area has disappointed me for one reason or another. I always get the same thing at a new sushi place, a relatively safe order of spicy tuna roll and shrimp tempura roll. Bonus when a place has hibachi/fried noodles, which Kuyi does! (You can't be a 5 in my eyes without the noodles) The spicy tuna roll is good, nice fresh red tuna. It's not as spicy as I'd like, but that's what wasabi is for. The shrimp tempura roll is standout. It's huge with good quality shrimp. They take the shell off the tail piece which is key. Most places around here don't do that. And the sweet glaze is so good and there is always enough of it. The noodles are amazing, and cheap, as the fried noodles usually are. It's just plain fried noodles, like you get at a hibachi restaurant on the side of your meal, and it definitely takes care of my noodle fix. I've gone a few times now and it's been consistent quality, which is very important to me. I'm now at the point where I feel safe to order something else and start trying some of their specialty rolls. The restaurant is very clean and inviting, definitely would go there to eat in as well. The service is great and my take out order is always ready in 10 minutes or less. Definitely go here if you're in the area, it's much better than any of the sushi spots in Middletown. read more

My wife and I tried kuyi last night. We had a 10 off 50 coupon that was about to expire and wanted to try some place different. The inside was nicely done, however it was a little warm, some celing fans would of been nice. The biggest downside of the meal was the waitress. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or what, but I dont think she should be working with the public. She was rude and almost yelled at me when I asked for some water. As for the food and drinks, We got the scorpion bowl for 14 dollars a good deal, but it came with small straws so it was a pain to move it back and forth. Moonlight in middletown gives out big straws. The crab rangoon was decent but not as good as moonlight. The outside was really crispy like a chip. As for the entrees, we got steak and chicken habitchi. The salad, veggies, rice, shrimp were all standard. The steak however, was really good better than moonlight. It was very tender and done a perfect medium rare. The other big disappointment of the night was no yum yum sauce. What Japanese restaurant does not have yum yum sauce? Overall, I cannot recommend kuyi. read more

Our favorite place to get sushi. Always fresh and delicious. We've only tried take out but the inside looks nice and inviting.

Never eaten in here so I can't comment on this. This is my usual go to for lunch/dinner specials. Their 3 roll lunch special actually tastes good(you'd be surprised how some places just don't care when it comes to making these simple rolls for lunch) compared to a few of the other choices between Cromwell and Middletown. Overall the food is consistent every time I do take out and never been disappointed. Nothing really stands out as spectacular or very well done, but it's def a step up from say a quick "Chinese food" take out.(I mean this in the best way possible) Be prepared as sometimes they take a bit longer than you'd expect on take out orders so just give it more time or order earlier. read more

I go to Kuyi Sushi embarrassingly often. I've done takeout every time and I love that they have completely contact free takeout (they leave the food on a table). The sushi is great-- I've tried many different rolls (standard and special rolls) and enjoyed them all! Their fried rice is great too, and very cheap! If you order more than $35+ you can get a ramune soda or edamame! read more

There were highs and lots of lows to our experience at Kuyi, the restaurant smells amazing so we have high hopes for this sushi house in the plaza behind KFC and the 99 restaurant in Cromwell. We took our food to go and it wasn't a bad experience. For 18.95 I got a Terri chicken bento box. It came with miso soup, white rice, a good size order of shrimp tempura and veggies, shrimp shumai, 6 piece Cali roll and a huge helping of chicken. I had a hard time finishing it and had to take it in strides, there was a lot of food. I really enjoyed the white rice it was moist and sticky and wonderful. The California rolls were great and I loved the shrimp tempura. Not a fan of the miso soup. There wasn't a good mix of broth vs. tofu and seaweed. The chicken was way too salty. We ordered the chicken Yakitori and it needed salt. The ragoon were different than I have had before and I didn't enjoy them. The pork fried rice was inedible. It was super burnt tasting and I didn't eat more than a bite. It's a 2$ upcharge from white rice to pork fried. Pretty good and decent price. I would try them again, next time. Maybe try only sushi. We were stuffed and there was lots of chicken left. The serving we're big, we didn't need apps. All and all an alright experience, not memorable. read more

I've only been to Kuyi for lunch, and even on a minor holiday, we were seated immediately. Their lunch specials, served Monday-Saturday 10:30am-3:00pm, are some of the best deals in town. For example you can get 2 sushi rolls for $8.50 and 3 rolls for $10.50, miso soup or salad included. You can't go wrong with the Spicy Salmon Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Tuna Avocado Roll. They have Bento Box specials too. I've ordered the Shrimp Tempura ($9.50), comes with miso soup or salad, white rice, shumai and a California roll. From the main menu, I recommend the Dancing Yellowtail roll ($15.95) with avocado and jalapeño. The quality of the sushi is decent considering you're ordering from the discounted menu for lunch, you know what I mean? read more

This is my new favorite! On our way home from hanging poolside, my wife ordered up a few different choice menu items for take out. We started with the Caterpillar roll which looked so good we didn't even wait to get home! We just destroyed it with the help of our 12 yr old, who liked it despite being somewhat allergic to Avocados! The Sushi Deluxe was amazing along with the miso soup and several a la cart rolls! Everything we had was delicious! The price was very reasonable considering the high quality meal we had! I can't wait to go back and try many more items! I would definitely recommend Kuyi Sushi to friends and everyone!! Thank you! read more

This place was fantastic. The atmosphere was very attractive. The service was great, our food came out quick, they refilled our drinks every time they were low without asking, I ordered a cocktail and it came out within minutes. The food was amazing, they had so many selections of different varieties. The menu was very nicely layed out between cooked and raw selections. I was very impressed with the wide variety of selections. The display of the food on the plates was very beautiful, they had blinking lights and very well garnished. The specialty rolls were huge, I ordered two but I couldnt even finish. The flavors of the rolls were amazing. They also have more than sushi, cooked dishes, rice platters, etc. We will be back for sure! read more

Never disappoints! I'm a sushi snob and Kuyi delivers great sushi! I usually get edamame, dumplings, spicy salmon, spicy tuna, tuna avocado, salmon avocado, rainbow roll, eel and cucumber and lots more. They do a nice job. Also, their meals are good, including their soups which my daughter likes! They used to charge $1. For the spicy mayo when you take out but they haven't been lately.

My fiancée and I spent about $80 in sushi from this place, and when I asked for 4 sides of spicy mayo for all that sushi, the lady said she would only give me one because they're normally one for $1. I understand if I spent like $20 on sushi, but we spent around $80. One of the items we ordered was the Dragon Egg which is made of mostly avocado and the avocado was BLACK. It wasn't simply oxidized, but it was nearly rotten and it was not edible at all. We called to let them know and their response was "well, avocados aren't really in season right now." Well, if "avocados aren't really in season right now," then maybe you shouldn't be serving them, ESPECIALLY if they're rotting. Unbelievable. EDIT: we went to get our money back, and the lady with long hair and glasses handled it very gracefully, so I changed my rating from 1 star to 2, for that one lady having good customer service skills which the older woman from before clearly lacked. read more

My favorite go to place for sushi as of late from this area. I've enjoyed everything I've tried here. By comparison to other places, I now prefer Kuyi Sushi over Moonlight and Japanica ll in Middletown. The seaweed salad is good. No filler, which I like. I do not want to pay for a bed of ice berg lettuce so the restaurant can cut costs on an expensive salad. I will say, the consistency isn't quite on target. Sometimes the flavor is a bit different from one order to the next. But, the seaweed salad is a solid choice and you get a good serving for the price you're paying. The basic hand rolls were satisfactory and better than other establishments in the area. I have not been served any imitation crab meat in the rolls, as it should be. As for special rolls, so far I've tried the Super Volcano roll and Angry Dragon roll. Both rolls were huge and very filling. Everything tasted fresh. Their vegetable gyoza/dumplings are very good when hot. Last time I ordered them they arrived by delivery almost cold and just weren't as good. Overall, the food is of a good quality and the customer service is very good. The waitstaff and delivery have had good attitudes in all my interactions with them. The people who run Kuyi seem like nice folks. Certainly, they've earned my return business. I feel like I'm getting my money's worth when I order from them. The only minor thing is a little bit of lack of consistency at times, which is why I gave them 4 not 5 stars but that could change over time and improve. read more

Working in the area and in the mood for some sushi I stopped by Kuyi one afternoon. I was greeted warmly and sat immediately. The decor is fabulous. Kuyi would be perfect for a date, a family gathering, dinner with friends, or even a solo lunch like I had : ) With so many scrumptious looking items to choose from on the menu I went with a miso soup and seaweed salad as well as the lunch special salmon skin and shrimp tempura rolls. Everything was very tasty. My order seems simple enough that you can't mess it up but trust me I've been places that have and Kuyi was not one of them-they got everything just perfect. My waiter was ever present and my water glass never empty. All in all a great experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

As a Cromwell native, we order from Kuyi Sushi whenever we have a sushi urge and have never been disappointed. (I'm pregnant, which is disappointing because Sashimi is always my go to!) But the menu makes it very easy to pick my sushi choice because they have separate lists for cooked/uncooked. You can easily order and pay online - contactless pick up and the foods always been ready. We ordered today on Valentines Day and they gave us a little bag of chocolate goodies which was a 'sweet' added touch. read more

WOW! Clean, perfect atmosphere and a beautiful restaurant. This is truly a hidden Gem! I ate at the sushi bar and was blown away by the food, how attentive and polite the staff is, and how clean and organized it is. I ordered the sushi and spicy tuna roll and had a few Sapporo beers. I flew in from FL and was craving some sushi after the gym. I work in Japan a lot and this has made me very selective when eating sushi. The thing I noticed the most was the sushi case. Most places put the fish on ice, not here! They have a bar that chills the case without freezing the fish. You can literally taste the difference! I will be back every time. I come back to CT! Thank you, don't miss out on this place! read more
