" Unfortunately, my latest visit did not meet the expectations. The service was lacking, and our waiter seemed overwhelmed. My bento box was tasty, but it felt a bit overpriced for what I received. The atmosphere remains a strong point. I might return for the sushi, which is still stellar! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the better sushi places I’ve visited. The atmosphere is bright, and the staff are friendly. The sushi was fresh, but I'd like to see more variety in the menu. Overall, would recommend checking it out if you’re in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by the freshness of the fish! Every roll was delectable. The only downside was the slow service during peak hours, but the staff remain friendly and helpful. I will surely recommend it to my friends looking for quality sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last week and really enjoyed it! The sushi was top-notch with authentic flavors, and the staff was accommodating and friendly. The only critique would be the noise level when it gets crowded. Overall count me as a happy customer! " (*Curated Review*)
