" My visit to Water Lily was impressive to say the least. The sushi was some of the freshest I've had, with flavors that wine perfectly together. The atmosphere was great for a date night, and the server was attentive without being intrusive. The only thing I would tweak is their choice of music which could be more in tune with the vibe of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner at Water Lily last night and were really impressed! The food was flavorful, and the presentation was beautiful. Each dish seemed to have been crafted with love and care. The wait staff were very attentive, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The prices are reasonable, and the view of the water at dusk was just stunning. I’ll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try Water Lily after hearing rave reviews from friends. Let me just start by saying the seafood is fresh - we had the sashimi and it was just as good as eating it in Japan. The attention to detail in presentation is commendable, and the view makes every meal a memorable event. Our server was polite but didn’t visit our table frequently enough after our food was served. Still, I think I can overlook that for the quality of food they produce. Highly recommend it for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I first came upon Water Lily while searching for good sushi places, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is calming, with a beautiful view that enhances the dining experience. The menu offers a nice selection of sushi and traditional dishes. Although I found the prices a bit high, the quality of the food adds great value. My only complaint was that the service was a bit on the slower side, but the staff was friendly enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" Water Lily has a nice vibe and the scenery is beautiful, but as a sushi enthusiast, I was expecting a bit more. The sushi rolls were good but felt a bit basic. They were fresh, that's for sure, but the creativity didn’t shine through as I hoped. The service was friendly, though sometimes a bit slow. I’m torn – I want to love this place but it's just average in some areas. " (*Curated Review*)

" Water Lily is worth the hype! Their sushi is incredibly fresh and very well presented. The options on the menu are diverse enough to cater to everyone in the group. We even had some nice vegetarian options! The outdoor seating made our experience even better. The staff were courteous and accommodating, making our meal truly enjoyable. I can’t wait to go back and try more rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere is outstanding, I have to say I left Water Lily feeling a little underwhelmed. The sushi was decent but lacked the richness I hoped for, and the service felt slightly rushed. The view certainly makes it a great spot to enjoy a meal, but as a sushi lover, I expect more culinary authenticity and flavor depth. I may consider giving it another chance, but I’m not sure yet.
