" After reading the reviews, I was excited to give this place a shot. The sushi was quite delicious and the freshness was apparent. However, I did find the service to be a bit slow, especially for refills on water. The atmosphere was cozy, but I think the restaurant was a bit more crowded than I anticipated. Overall, I would still return for the food, but I’d hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my last visit. The sushi was decent, but some of the flavors felt a bit off and not as authentic as I would have liked. It wasn't bad, but I expected better given the reviews. The service was fine, but there wasn't much personal engagement—just the basics. I think I might try a different dish next time to see if it improves my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing time at Octopus! The sushi was flavorful and beautifully plated. I ordered multiple rolls and they didn't disappoint. The ambiance has a lovely vibe, perfect for enjoying a meal. Staff was friendly too. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not too impressed with my experience. The sushi was average and I found the bento box to be overpriced for what I received. The taste was okay, but didn't have a wow factor. Fast service, so no issues there. I think this place has potential, but it needs to step up in terms of quality, especially at these prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" I left feeling a bit underwhelmed after my dinner here. While the sushi rolls looked appealing, they didn’t have the depth of flavor I was hoping for. I ordered a couple of specialty rolls, but they ended up tasting quite similar to one another. On the bright side, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere was lively. I wouldn’t call it my go-to sushi spot, but I might consider giving it another chance during happy hour. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, one of the best sushi experiences I've had in a long time. The fish was so fresh and I could taste the quality in every bite. I particularly loved the Salmon Lover roll, it was phenomenal! Service was attentive, and the ambiance was relaxing. Perfect for a date night or just a casual dinner with friends. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Octopus has a cozy vibe, perfect for sushi lovers. The food was good, with a variety of tasty rolls. I particularly enjoyed the seasonal special! Some aspects of service could be improved, as the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my meal and will likely return. " (*Curated Review*)
