" While I did enjoy my visit, I found the sushi to be average. The portions were decent, but not as big as I expected for the price. The service was friendly, but we had a long wait for our table. Overall, I think there are better sushi places in town, but Soseki is still a good option if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
