Sushi Guys, the latest addition to the South Boston culinary scene and the newest South Boston Chamber of Commerce member, officially opened its doors in September, bringing fresh and inventive sushi creations to the neighborhood.

Owner/manager Jaimie Thang, chef/partner Cary Wong, and their small team are no strangers to the restaurant industry. Jaimie and Cary each have more than two decades of restaurant and management experience. Jaimie has several years as an owner/manager under her belt.

Jaimie and Cary have built a concept that focuses on fresh ingredients, quality fish, and innovative flavors.

Cary is always creating new styles and new adventures for customers to enjoy fresh quality fish, Jaimie said, noting Cary has been voted Best Sushi by Reader's Choice Award. “Everyone’s trying to be healthy so we were thinking that sushi is pretty good.”

Twenty years ago, Jaimie and Cary co-owned a sushi place – Tobiko Japanese Fusion – so now they are coming full circle with Sushi Guys, which is located at 283C Old Colony Ave.

“We're not high-end, top-price sushi that the customer cannot afford,” Jaimie said. And the menu is not set in stone; customers can create their own sushi. If a customer has a special request or allergies, Sushi Guys can accommodate. “Any requests that you have, we can do it.”

Whether it's a party platter for an event or a custom order to accommodate dietary needs, Sushi Guys’ mission is to make sushi accessible and enjoyable for everyone in South Boston.

Sushi Guys offers creative twists on traditional sushi. Popular rolls include the Castle Maki (named after Castle Island), which is made with spicy tuna, mango, seared salmon, jalapeno, scallions, and drizzled with unagi sauce and crunchy seared sauce; and the young crowd favorite Volcano Island, which is a spicy tuna maki topped with broiled scallops mixed with kanikama, tobiko, and mushrooms.

Cary also creates different kinds of sauces and toppings to go with the fish. “A lot of people think sushi is just basically the fish with the rice itself,” said Jaimie. “But our sushi is more unique.”

The team's focus on customer satisfaction is clear, and they love to hear customer feedback, said Lyn Thang, who works at Sushi Guys on the weekends. “We always love to see customers go out with a smile and see them come back to us.”

Jaimie came up with the name Sushi Guys to honor Cary’s talents and love of sushi. Cary has trained students who are now working as sushi chefs in different restaurants and he will train anyone who has a passion for sushi. “So I named it Sushi Guys to pass down his talents and passion for sushi lovers.”

Sushi Guys is dedicated to being part of the community. They joined the Chamber to give back.

“I want to do something for the community,” Jaimie said. “If the community needs us, we just want to be a part of it and help out.”

Sushi Guys offers in house dining, takeout, and online ordering (through their own app and website, Uber Eats and GrubHub).
