Master Critic Review

Culichi Town (Bell) 8.5
Bell - Atlantic & Gage Corridor
Culichi Town’s Bell location is a high-energy Sinaloa-style restaurant where an enormous menu of Mexican sushi rolls shares the spotlight with mariscos and cocktails. With well over a thousand reviews and a full section of natural, fried, and baked rolls, it’s the area’s loudest, most scene-driven place to crush Hot Cheetos–topped and surf-and-turf rolls with friends. Live music, bottle service energy, and late hours make it more of a night out than a quiet sushi bar.
Must-Try Dishes: Hot Cheetos Roll, Guamuchilito Roll, Mar y Tierra Roll

Value: 6.7 Service: 7.6 Consistency: 8.6 Food Quality: 8.4 Atmosphere: 8.8 Cultural Relevance: 8.7
What makes it special: Sinaloa-style party restaurant where Mexican sushi rolls headline a loud mariscos show.
Who should go: Groups looking for rolls, cocktails, and live music energy.
When to visit: Weekend nights for full band, bottle service, and crowd buzz.
What to order: Hot Cheetos Roll, Guamuchilito Roll, Mar y Tierra Roll.
Insider tip: Reserve a table near the action and share several roll styles before the music ramps up.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Shared plaza lot with limited spaces; valet available on peak weekend nights; street parking along Gage fills quickly after 7pm.
Dress code: Trendy night-out attire recommended; jeans are fine but most guests lean dressy for photos, live music, and bottle-service vibes.
Noise level: Very loud during evenings with live music; expect club-level volume where conversation requires raised voices.
Weekend wait: 60–90 minutes without a reservation; bar seating sometimes opens faster for small groups.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; early evenings see mild crowds but manageable.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Moderate—several veggie rolls and sides, but most signature items include seafood or meat.
Vegan options: Limited—only a couple of customizable veggie rolls; sauces and toppings often contain dairy or mayo.
Gluten-free options: Limited—many rolls use soy sauce, breading, or fried components; best to request modifications and verify with staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want high energy—this is more of a party atmosphere with loud music, flashing lights, and big groups. Not ideal for intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect long waits on weekend nights. Arriving early or joining the waitlist online helps; small groups sometimes snag bar seating faster.
Is it kid-friendly? Early evenings can work for families, but once live music starts the volume and party vibe skew adult-oriented. Best for teens rather than younger children.
Best For
Better for: High-energy group dinners, birthday celebrations, Mexican-style sushi rolls with bold toppings, and late-night mariscos with music.
Skip if: You want quiet, traditional sushi; you prefer minimalist rolls; or you’re seeking a low-key dinner suitable for sensitive ears or small children.
