Culichi's Urban Kitchen - Gilroy

Today we celebrated the birthday of a dear friend Amos, and the Culichis Urban Kitchen helped us make this day rememorable and very special. Thanks Gaby for the exceptional service. 5 stars for all of Culichis Urban Kitchen especially Gaby who kindly attended us.

Gabi was fantastic, attentive, with impeccable service and a friendly disposition.

The waitress was great first off. The food however was not. I have a FISH ALLERGY. Not shellfish allergy. My spouse asked and the waitress asked about the California roll that had crab in it, whether it is imitation or real. The waitress did her due diligence and asked. They told her it was real. I ate approximately 3 bites before my body recognized it was imitation. The waitress asked the Manager, which confirmed it was imitation. The manager was in NO HURRY to come out and address the situation but once she came, she seemed concerned. She stated that there was a miscommunication and her chefs are aware that they are handling imitation crab. The meal was free. I used my emergency inhaler to handle my breathing but overall I am upset. The steak I also ordered was rough and flavorless. My 4 year old enjoyed the salmon and my 15 year old who loves sushi, rated it a 6/10. My spouse was ok with his food. We will NEVER TOUCH this place again.

We stopped here while outlet shopping. Service was very friendly and fast despite how busy it was. The atmosphere is lively and loud with a sports bar vibe and Mexican music. The menu was Mexican/Asian fusion. Chips and salsa were great spicy! We ordered asada fries with guacamole, fried calamari with fried jalapeños, and a Gilroy roll all delicious. It was way more than the two of us could eat! We also had a tamarind wine margarita, which was tasty and served with an orchid flower... festive! I'd go back if I were in the area.

The atmosphere is amazing, love the music and the whole vibe. The sevice was great and we got our food fairly quick. The food was ok, i had high expectations i guess.
