" I had a delightful dinner at Saito as part of a group celebration. The tuna rib is a crowd pleaser, and it's fascinating to finally scoop your own sushi! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal, although I thought my scallops were slightly overcooked compared to my friends’ dishes. Despite that minor issue, the flavors were fresh, and I would definitely return for another round of their amazing sake selections! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very tasty food but overall felt more like a casual sushi place than the upscale experience I expected. The tuna rib was awesome to share, but other dishes like the crispy rice didn't wow me. Friendly service made up for the minor downsides. I'd recommend it for a relaxed dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my visit. While some of the dishes were okay, I found them overpriced for the portion sizes. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I expected more from the flavors. I don't think I would return when there are better options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect night out! The food was excellent and worth every penny. Every plate exuded quality, especially the tuna rib which was presented superbly. You get the chance to customize your bites, and everything tasted wonderfully fresh. The staff was friendly and genuinely cared about our experience. Will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Saito is a fun little izakaya with a cozy vibe. I was particularly impressed by the innovative nature of the menu. Shared the tuna rib, and while it was enjoyable, I think I prefer methods where dishes are prepped for you. Overall, a worthy experience but it wasn't the highlight of my food journey. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Saito but found the experience to be just okay. While the food was decent, I didn't think it quite matched the hype. The crispy rice was nice, but the tuna rolls fell flat. The atmosphere was cozy, and service was friendly, but I expected more from the flavors. I might give it another chance but won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Saito with my family. We ordered the tuna rib and were thoroughly pleased, but I felt a couple of other dishes were just okay. Service was very attentive and the aesthetic of the restaurant is quite charming. I’d recommend it but might not return right away since there are so many other places to try. " (*Curated Review*)
