What a surprise finding this great place in an interesting little strip mall. The space has been beautifully styled. Lots of reflective glass and tile, low light, modern features, and beautiful sushi bar as you enter. Primary dining area is separated offering a relaxed setting with well spaced tables. Service was great and attentive. When taking our order, our aerver repeated it back, which I appreciated since sushi orders typically are more Involved. Two of us split chicken fried rice lunch plate and 3 roll lunch plate (includes miso soup or salad). Miso soup was very flavorful w lots of seaweed and tofu goodies. Broth was smooth and so tasty. Rolls were beautifully prepared. Had eel cucumber, yellowtail scallion, and California roll. Ingredients were generous and fresh. Eel and yellowtail dominated the rolls as they should. Delicate touch on sauce for eel roll was perfect w/o saturation. Fried rice was full of flavor. Chicken was tender w some crispy bits here n there. Veggies were tender and plentiful. Not oily or salty, barely sensed it was fried rice texture wise...fresher and lighter. Flavors were on point. One of the best things about Japanese dining is how it blends art, cuisine, and culture to form a sensory experience. This place gives that authentic feeling and shows it in presentation while serving high quality ingredients. You don't find many places that send that vibe...this place does. New go-to! read more

Kuyi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

I had the Spiderman and Angry Dragon rolls. I highly recommend them. They were very spicy which I love. We had Beef Nagamaki and Shrimp Shuman for starters. also were awesome. Very unassuming place and location but we'll worth it for the great food. read more

Wow! This is now #1 on my list. Had the caterpillar roll, crispy tuna app and kuyi 3 in 1. Everything was fresh, flavorful and reasonably priced. First time here and will definitely return. read more

From the fabulous food, beautiful decor to the easy to read (without glasses) menu adorned with pictures of their selections, this new Cromwell restaurant hits the mark. We enjoyed everything about it. The staff was attentive, the food beautifully presented and delicious. We were 3 dining and shared everything we ordered. Seaweed salad, chicken soba noodle soup, superman roll and a spicy tuna roll. The sushi chef sent us out a peppered ahi tuna sushi appetizer and a seafood tempura dish which were both unexpected and fabulous. At the end of our meal we were given a birthday dessert. I cannot wait to return to try something else. It was a feast for the eyes and tummy. read more

Second time here and doesnt disappoint, very fresh sushi and dinner portions were very generous.

Very good tasty food in big portions, very kind people and good service, also very clean bathroom and tables.

Found the restaurant off grubhub and was pretty satisfied. Had yhe chickem hibachi which was delivered hot and fresh. The baby taki su which was unique but tasty. About to order again now. read more

It's nice to have a sushi place close by in Cromwell. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and clean. Our dinner was just as the rating says, A-OK. It was solid sushi. But, it didn't have that "wow" factor for us. The drinks seemed pretty watered down (and expensive) and the food was decent but average. read more

I ordered the black and pick roll. The strawberry glaze was an amazing twist on a shrimp twmpura roll. The amazing roll was also good.

If you're in the middletown/cromwell area, there's a new sushi place on shunpike rd (in the plaza behind the 99 and dunkin). the rolls are well constructed, the fish tasted really fresh. the two rolls i had were very good. the staff there were really nice, helpful, polite and conversational if you have questions. the decor was nice if that matters to you, most important to me: it looked and smelled very clean and, again, the sushi tasted fresh. they have a first time diner discount of 15%, and they have a deal with the Sweet Frog that is located right next door: any bill that goes over $35 gets a a free 12ounces of frozen yogurt. i usually only comment on a place if the food or service was bad. this place seems to have potential. i will definitely be going back, telling my friends about it and bringing family. read more

Good service, really good food. Would definitely go back in the future. Recommend the Red Sox roll and cani salad.

First time I've ever ordered in this area and it was AMAZING! Beef negimaki, cucumber rolls, and gyoza arrived faster than I thought and I would've ordered much more off the menu had I known it'd be so good. Will definitely be going back (probably way too much). read more

Love it!!! The give us some special house nd the food was good waitrees was nice. Nd i will come back.

Picked up takeout for dinner last night and it was terrible. Chicken hibachi was so salty just couldn't eat it and was like rubber. I had to throw it out ..The spicy chicken dish was not spicy and was like rubber also and that ended up in the garbage . The side salads it came with were ok, nothing special but that was the best part of the meal. I dropped $60 here when I could have spent 1/2 that and went to the Chinese Restaurant in the same plaza and would have had better food. read more

I was in the area for one night and wanted sushi for dinner. I looked at other places and decided to look for another cuisine. As I was driving around checking out the area, I stumbled across this place. I decided to try it. I am glad that I did. I am not sure what some of the others mean by their negative reviews. The quality, quantity, and taste of the Chirashi was top notch. I was actually surprised that it was only $18.95 before they gave me a discount that I didn't ask for. As another reviewer indicated, they were so attentive that they knew what I wanted before I knew what I wanted. I think that those that offered negative reviews should give it another chance. This place is great. read more

Very dissapointed!!! I order here often for Salmon sashimi, and an Alaska roll..tonight I decided on the crazy tuna roll, and a side of salmon sashimi...I asked the sashimi to be sliced very thin...that did not happen. I asked for SOS, that did not happen...no chopsticks or soy. The pepper tuna on my roll was super dry and old. Needless to say, it all went in the trash. I hold my standards high for sushi...tonight made me wish I was back in Branford. read more

Excellent Japanese restaurant in Cromwell. The sushi is extremely fresh and high quality and their entrees are quite generous in portion as well as tasty. I've eaten here five time so far and give it a big thumbs up. Their tempura was especially good and is highly recommended. Give it a try! read more

The meal I had here was really tasty. I had a green salad which is just a garden salad with their ginger dressing then I got four rolls, all of which were really good. The presentation of the sushi was really lovely. They added a decorative tree and a flower on the plate and also had the sauce in a design to really add to the presentation. The serves were great, it wasn't too busy so we did not have to wait long for food and the server refilled the water in a timely fashion. Overall it was a good treat and I will be going there again. read more

Kuyi Sushi - From left to right. Sexy girl roll, sweet potato, (above) spicy tuna, and spicy shrimp. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

Exceptional experience! My children wanted to take me out for my birthday, and searched for a restaurant centrally located from all of our homes throughout CT, and they came up with Kuyi. Kuyi ended up being perfect in every way, very easy to get to from anywhere in CT, the food quality, presentation and service were more then exceptional. Not a single complaint from anyone of us about a thing. What a great birthday dinner experience. I found my new favorite Japanese restaurant. read more

The sushi is outstanding but the General Tso's Chicken is the best in town...actually, among the best I've ever had. I promise it will be like nothing you have ever gotten from a Chinese take-out place. It is not deep fried and caked in oil. Fresh chicken with fresh vegetables. Simply perfect. Great staff and warm atmosphere too. I hope they stick around for a long time. read more

An overall great dining experience! The staff was extremely friendly with great service. The sushi bar was out of maguro (tuna), but they replaced it with white tuna with my permission and included two pieces of scallop sashimi as a bonus. As part of their grand opening, they also presented us with a bonus tempura appetizer (delicious!), 15% off the entire check, free dessert, and two pairs of non-disposal good quality chopsticks in a pouch as a gift! We were wow'd at the lengths they went to! A couple highlights on the specific items my wife and I had: -The kani salad was much bigger than I've usually seen for an appetizer making it a great value. -Edamame was a good portion, piping hot when served and salted with a bit of butter - great! -Miso soup and house salad were as good as any other miso soup and house salad you've probably ever had. -Udon chicken soup was enormous! The udon noodles were thick and great, but the soup overall slightly bland in seasoning. -The Sushi Lover entree was great! (3 salmon negiri, 3 yellowtail negiri, 3 tuna negiri). The fish was room temperature when served and I thought it could have been colder, but it didn't take away from the creamy delicious taste. The fish-to-rice ratio was spot on! The dining atmosphere is...weird...not sure how to describe it, but it feels like you're sitting in a pizza shop or a deli (very wide open with only a wall in the middle splitting up the entire floor plan). There's a beautiful multi-colored water bubble wall that greats you when you walk in, but the host desk is off to the left and not immediately visible. The water bubble thing sets an immediate first impression that the rest of the dining area doesn't quite live up to, but as long as the fish remains delicious, I'm sure they've got time to refine the interior decor. I wish this restaurant well and definitely recommend it for Japanese food lovers! read more

Tonight was our second visit to Kuyi Sushi and we absolutely love it! Amazing sashimi and delicious rolls!!! Great, clean atmosphere and friendly staff. This will now be our regular sushi spot! Keep up the great food :) read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I ordered delivery online, (I have ordered from here numerous times in the past) and 1 hour and 45 minutes later and 4 very confusing phone calls, they are now saying they wont/dont deliver..very confusing as to why. Even on the website it says they deliver, and they have delivered to my workplace numerous times before. lack of / terrible customer service is enough to have me write this review. They kept asking me if I wanted to pick up? Um ,if I could I would, that's why I ordered delivery in the first place.. So if this is how they treat their customers, what else is going on?? read more

This is little piece of heaven in a dumpy plaza. A gem of Cromwell for sushi. Clean, carefully prepared dishes with great service. I recommend anything spicy. read more

Best sushi and sashimi around hands down. Fresh and delicious, and best part is they deliver! The miso soup was a bit disappointing. However, the fish made up for that. read more

Best sushi in town! I love it! Have eaten in and taken out and all experiences have been great. When we ate in, food came fast and service was very friendly and attentive. All the times I have ordered out, food is ready within 15 minutes even when they are very busy! I always give a great tip. Make sure you ask for their sushi specials, they change all the time. Highly recommend and will be back soon. read more

I was excited to try a new sushi place in the area, but this was a one-and-done deal. The sushi was meh, at best. Very small portions. Very weak drinks. I've had much better sushi at other nearby places. I completely overlooked the super slow service: over 20 minutes for a drink, an hour and a half for food. Completely understandable for a new establishment. They were apologetic & very sweet about the slow service, they definitely acknowledged it. I let that pass, & am still only rating 3/5 based on the FOOD (creativity, quality, taste, & presentation). If I incorporated the slowness & atmosphere it'd be much lower. There was weird classical music that didn't really mesh with the neon glow lights/stars/shapes flashing on the walls & ceiling. They did remodel nicely though from when it was Senor Ponchos for a short time. I have no idea how people are saying this is the best sushi place around. Mind boggled. I feel bad because they're new & seem really nice, but I won't be going back. read more

I get take out/delivery from here quite often, and everything I've tried has been great! Good prices, delivery is only 1$ if you spend 20$, I have never been disappointed. This is definitely my go-to sushi place read more

Very good food and EXCELLENT service !!! I'll be back ! The atmosphere was very nice .. Quaint yet modern. Very clean

The tamagoyaki was really good and the tempura dipping sauce unique. Staff was very friendly. Loved the heart-shaped roll ;)

Hands down the best sushi restaurant! We don't go to any other sushi places since making Kuyi our regular place. My fiance and I order take out from them very regularly. They are ALWAYS consistent. Food is always ready in about 10-15 minutes. Sushi always tastes fresh. Everything is reasonably priced. Sometimes we eat inside the restaurant and that doesn't disappoint either - it's clean, modern and the staff is super friendly. They even know my fiance by name as he usually picks up the food when we go. Love love love this place! read more

On a business trip and I was craving sushi which can be scary in a small place but I 100% recommend this place. Get the fancy roll and Angry dragon! Little bit of a wait but the food was incredible. read more

Came for lunch and it was very quite... no real personality. Had a Philadelphia roll and the Yaki soba noodles. I see it here people that post and say that they are asian or Hawaiian as a disclaimer, why some people do that on every post I really don't know ... are you the ambassador of all things asian and food and do you know more that other asian... what a joke but me wats in to my review. often try not to pull that asian card but for this one I will‍ This place was just not good at. Service was slow and when I got my yaki soba noodles they were microwaved right in front of me I mean when you here the beeps of the machine going on I didn't think it was my food being reheated. !!! It came out piping hot and I just ate it and tipped accordingly. I'm sorry prolly not going to go back. Service was just typical no real personality. But if your asian and you like microwaved food this is the place for you. read more

The food is good, but the take-out service absolutely SUCKS! Every time we order take-out here (whether by phone or online) the order is not ready when we get there. They always say "Sorry. Busy night." I can understand being busy. So tell me it's going to be an hour for my food. We can handle the truth. But when you tell me my order will be ready at 8:00, I show up at 8:20 and sit for another 20 minutes watching the chef start prepare our food??? They do not begin preparing your order until you walk through the door and pay them. (possible trust issues?) We've tried everything from showing up 30 minutes after food is supposed to be ready to complaining. They just apologize, but we always have to wait at least 20 minutes for the chef to prepare our order. Our frustrated family eventually eats our meal while swearing we'll never go back. Well, tonight was the last night for us. Maybe if enough people stop going, they won't be too busy to fulfill their promises. read more

I've been in here a few times since they opened and the food it always very good. Their prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. If you sit at the sushi bar they give you a "on the house" chefs choice appetizer. I'll be back! read more

Definitely tasty, carefully presented and served quickly.

No way. Don't even consider this as your option for a dinner or even lunch meal. I cannot believe I see a COCKROACH in the Restaurant. The rolls are ugly as heck. Also, I ordered sushi & sashimi combo and they just completely ignored it. Their sushis are not fresh at all. And their coca cola is so diluted it is basically water with food coloring. I would give this place zero stars if I could. read more

Anyone who rates this restaurant below a 4 is crazy. My husband and I went on a Saturday at 10:00pm. The place was empty and the owner and hostess/waitress were very attentive and did not rush at all. We ordered tea, appetizers, and sushi and were out in 35 minutes after having the best meal. The owner recommended dishes to us and answered any question we had. He asked us how we liked every dish as we were eating it and he was not pushy. We did not order drinks, so I cannot speak to that. In terms of sushi though, this place knows how to create and serve unique, gourmet sushi dishes. For appetizers we ordered shrimp sashimi and it was pretty good, standard shrimp sashima, but came out very quickly. I had the jalepeno appetizer and it was out of this world. We also split the tuna dumpling and it was indescribably good. For dinner I got the Monster Roll and Crazy Tuna Roll. The Monster Roll had a nice, mild flavor, but didn't knock me off my feat. The Crazy Tuna Roll, though, was one of the most delicious sushi dishes I've ever had. Husband had the Godzilla Roll and Dancing Eel Roll. He is very much the eel snob and he loved it. We were offered dessert, but were stuffed. Will definitely get it next time. The bill came to $69 and it was money well spent. If nothing else, the service was the best I've had at any sushi place in CT, but the food is something else entirely. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys sushi. read more

OMG! Fantastic sushi! Had the Sweet Boss and the Hot Girl Rolls. A taste sensation. Highly recommend if you want delicious and different sushi! read more

We love this place! We get take out here regularly. The sushi always tastes great and fresh. Take out always arrives here quickly as well. We have not eaten in the restaurant yet but it's on the to do list! read more
