" I had an amazing time at Saru! Their sushi is not only fresh but also incredibly tasty, and I loved the diverse menu options. The staff was attentive without being pushy, which is a big plus for me. However, I must say that the portion sizes seemed smaller compared to what I expected for the price point. Nevertheless, my experience was enjoyable, and I would love to return, especially to try more of their creative rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Saru was a delightful experience. The sushi was excellent, really impeccable quality, and the staff was attentive, offering helpful recommendations. While the ambiance was charming, the seating was limited, leading to a somewhat cramped feeling during peak hours. That said, the kindness of the service and the quality of the food overshadowed the drawback of the small space. I will certainly come back, though arriving early might be a smart move to avoid the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" This tiny sushi bar truly packs a punch! You can tell that a ton of love and effort goes into the sushi here. I opted for the chef's special and was blown away. The quality of the fish was exquisite, and the delicate flavors sang in each bite. The only small downside was that the place was pretty packed, but the service remained prompt and friendly. Lastly, the atmosphere was cozy, making it a great place to enjoy some quality sushi without feeling rushed. Highly recommend it for all sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Saru and enjoyed a lovely evening. The service was friendly, and the food was beautiful and fresh. I had the omakase, and while it was quite tasty, I felt like the portion sizes were not as large as I anticipated for the price. The restaurant was cozy, and I appreciated the ambiance. However, I’d have to agree with some other reviews that suggest looking for other options that might offer better value for money. Overall, it was good, but not quite outstanding. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to trying Saru after hearing great things, but my experience was just okay. The sushi itself was fresh, but I felt the portion sizes were lacking, especially compared to the price. I appreciated the ambiance and the attentive service. My experience overall was good, but for the cost, I left still feeling a bit hungry. I think the sushi was technically great, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I didn’t quite get my money’s worth. I might consider coming back, but I’d rather try other sushi options in the city.

" Saru is my favorite sushi place in the city! The fish is incredibly fresh and well-prepared. I particularly loved the omakase option. The sushi chef truly knows what he is doing, and I appreciated how he explained each dish as he served it. The restaurant has a nice cozy vibe, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. Be prepared for a potential wait—it's a popular spot! I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was nice, but I didn't think it lived up to the hype. The quality of the fish was good, yet the portion sizes were on the smaller side for the price. I enjoyed the ambiance, which was warm and inviting, but felt a bit rushed by the service at times. I left satisfied but not wowed. Still, if you're in the area and craving sushi, it's worth a visit!
