" Just had dinner here with my family and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The sushi was fresh, well-crafted, and variegated. I particularly enjoyed the special rolls which were delicious and creative. I appreciate that the menu offers vegetarian options too. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and our server made us feel at home. Admittedly, some rolls took longer than expected, but the quality made up for that. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really didn't have high expectations for an AYCE place, but Sun Sushi blew me away. Each dish felt artisanal, made with quality ingredients that highlighted the flavors of the sushi. It’s no surprise why so many folks rave about their sushi bar. Even with some minor service hiccups, they maintained a friendly demeanor. Just be prepared that the portions are slightly on the smaller side, but the variety makes it worthwhile. I left feeling pleased! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Sun Sushi but honestly left feeling underwhelmed. The menu offers a wide selection, but the execution in taste just didn’t match the hype. The portions were small too, which is typical for AYCE, but it felt particularly lacking here. The service was adequate, and I appreciated the effort from our server, but I would suggest looking elsewhere for sushi unless they step up their game considerably. " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of food at Sun Sushi is undeniable! I had an incredible dining experience where everything from the appetizers to the rolls thrilled my taste buds. The ambiance is equally enjoyable, allowing for a nice social setting. It's definitely a great spot for gatherings with friends—it feels lively and welcoming! If you’re craving good sushi and a friendly vibe, I can’t recommend it highly enough. I'll be visiting regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Sun Sushi didn't measure up to the rave reviews I had heard. While the staff was polite and tried their best to accommodate, the food fell short of my expectations. The rolls were decent but lacked the freshness I associate with top-tier sushi. Additionally, we had to wait an uncomfortable amount of time for our food, which detracted from the experience. I may give it another chance, but only if they improve their service. Maybe it was just an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my partner's birthday at Sun Sushi yesterday, and it was so enjoyable! From beginning to end, the service was impeccable. The owner personally checked in on us, which added a nice touch. The sushi quality was top-notch, very fresh, and expertly prepared. Although I think the portion sizes could be a bit larger for sharing, I still left satisfied. The ambiance was lovely, perfect for a special occasion. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Sun Sushi for the first time last week and was thoroughly impressed! The all-you-can-eat menu has a wide variety with fantastic options. The salmon nigiri was exceptional, along with the spicy tuna roll. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was incredibly attentive. My only downside was that I expected slightly larger portions, but overall, an excellent experience! I’ve already planned to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)
