" Had a casual dinner and was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was fresh and beautifully arranged; truly a feast for the eyes and palate. The service was friendly and prompt, making it easy to enjoy our evening. I do wish their teppanyaki options were more extensive, but overall, excellent dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard to find authentic Japanese food outside of major cities, but Kujira nails it! The service was friendly and prompt, and the ambiance was relaxed and charming. The specialty rolls are incredible! The only minor issue was our appetizers arriving after our main meals, but the taste made up for that slight delay. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kujira has a charming atmosphere and a very friendly waitstaff, but I found the food lacking in authenticity compared to what I'm used to. I enjoyed my meal, but it didn’t knock my socks off as I hoped. It’s decent for a casual dining experience, but I wouldn’t label it as truly authentic. " (*Curated Review*)
