" Gushi has become my favorite lunch spot! Their chicken karaage bowl is incredibly filling and made with authentic ingredients. I especially love the purple rice; it’s a unique twist. The atmosphere can be a bit tight due to the size, but the flavor makes it all worthwhile. I will keep recommending this spot to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Gushi, and I was quite impressed! The chicken was exceptionally crispy, and the spicy mayo added a nice kick. The purple rice was a lovely touch too. However, the restaurant got a bit congested, and the ventilation could have been better. Besides that, everything else was delightful. I would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Japanese street food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gushi has the best Takoyaki in town! It was savory and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes here are excellent, and the prices are surprisingly low. Staff were friendly and made it a welcoming experience. Just a heads-up, expect it to be mostly takeout. Nonetheless, food this good is worth the visit, even when you can't find a place to sit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The hype about Gushi is real! The chicken is top-notch; I was surprised at how juicy and flavorful each piece was. I also ordered the potato croquette, which was delightful. Just be aware that it’s mostly a takeout joint, so there isn’t much seating. My only complaint is that the area was pretty hot when I visited, but I'll certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I happened upon Gushi after a long day and was so glad I did. The takoyaki was freshly made and tasted fantastic! The staff were accommodating and polite, making the experience all the better. While the seating was limited, the atmosphere was inviting. I'll definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Gushi two days ago and wow, was it enjoyable! I ordered the fried chicken on rice combo, and the flavors were incredible. The crispy chicken paired well with the savory sauce they provided. I would highly recommend their Hot Maple flavor! The only downsides were the limited seating and the funky smell inside. However, the food makes it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this place! Every bite of the fried chicken was bursting with flavor and the serving size was generous. Not to mention, the service was amazing; the staff were super friendly and made great recommendations. I also tried the croquettes, which were a delightful surprise. This is now one of my go-to spots! " (*Curated Review*)
