" After hearing great feedback, I was somewhat disappointed with my takeaway experience. It seemed that I received some lesser quality rolls, and I didn’t feel that any of them stood out from what you would find in a typical sushi place. I could have simply had an off night, but it was underwhelming for a place that touted itself so highly. The staff was polite, but that did not make up for the food. I’d consider giving them another chance on the recommendation of friends, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many sushi places around here, but nothing quite compares to Buddha Fish. The rolls are packed with flavors, and you can tell the fish is of top-notch quality. I especially enjoyed the specialty rolls that they offer, as they are a delightful twist on classic flavors. The service was friendly, and although it’s primarily a takeout place, the option to dine at the poke bowl shop next door makes it convenient. This spot is officially my new favorite sushi place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely amazing sushi! I was thrilled with the variety of rolls and the fresh quality of the fish. The owner clearly knows their stuff and takes pride in the food service. Each bite was a revelation; this is a must-visit for any sushi lover in the area! Five stars all around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing sushi! It's one of those rare finds where the quality matches the hype. I ordered a variety of rolls and every one of them was rich in flavor and texture! Additionally, I had a chat with the owner who took the time to explain their cooking process, showing how committed they are to their craft. The only downside is that it can get busy, and I recommend ordering ahead. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" An overall decent experience, but I did have my reservations. While their sushi was fresh, I found some rolls to be a bit too experimental for my taste. Shouldn’t sushi be about the quality of the fish? I recommend sticking to the classics unless you’re feeling adventurous. Service was okay, nothing commendable. Clean facilities, but atmosphere-wise, it’s not much to look at as a takeout spot. I’d try again but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Buddha Fish exceeded my expectations! The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with the aroma of fresh ingredients. I ordered their Omakase and I was blown away by the variety and freshness of their fish; it reminded me of the meals I've had in high-end sushi spots in Japan! Each piece was crafted with attention to detail, bringing out audacious flavors that felt authentic yet innovative at the same time. The owner was incredibly friendly, taking the time to talk about his inspirations and background in sushi. The only drawback was that it’s a takeout only place, which might be an issue for some looking for a full dining experience, but they’ve partnered with a poke shop next door to allow for some seating. It’s perfect for a cozy night in or an occasion to impress friends with something unique. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates truly good sushi with a creative twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really anticipating a great experience based on all the reviews, but it was a mixed bag. The sushi was undoubtedly fresh, but I found the flavor a bit lacking, especially compared to what I’d expect from a place like this. The service was okay; I felt a bit rushed during my order. Even though I had high hopes, I wouldn’t say I’ll be returning regularly unless I hear better things in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
