" I had the pleasure of dining at Soseki and the experience was fantastic! Authentic flavors bursting from every roll. We had a minor hiccup with an order but the staff was quick to make it right. This place is a must-visit for anyone in Iowa City! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place as the reviews were glowing, but my experience was more lukewarm. The sushi was good but didn't live up to the hype—it felt rather bland for my taste. On the plus side, the service was quite friendly, and the place had a nice vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Soseki, and I'll definitely return! The sushi was fantastic and the miso soup was delightful. I didn’t realize how busy it would be, so we waited a bit for our food, but the friendly atmosphere made it worth it. Highly recommend trying the Crazy Horse roll! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Soseki based on all the rave reviews, and it didn't disappoint! The fish was so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. The spicy tuna roll was delightful! I appreciated the artistic presentation of the dishes too. Staff was friendly, but it took a bit longer than expected to receive our order. Overall, worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Soseki for the first time and I wasn't disappointed! The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and I appreciated the variety. The restaurant had a nice ambiance, but the servers seemed slightly overwhelmed. Overall, would recommend for the food, but I hope to see improvement in service next time. " (*Curated Review*)
