" A lovely little sushi joint with an inventive menu! I enjoyed the variety of raw fish options and the house-made sauces. The ambience is casual yet sophisticated, making it a perfect spot for dinner with friends. Will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Kuma. While I appreciated the creative sushi rolls, some of the flavors felt off compared to what I've had in Japan. The service was attentive, but the wait times were longer than expected. I will give it another shot to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Kuma for a special occasion, and it didn't disappoint! The upscale decor and ambiance made us feel special. Every piece of sushi was beautifully presented, and the flavors were incredible. The only downside was waiting a bit longer for our drinks. Overall, a fabulous dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious sushi in a cozy space! The local tofu dish is a must-try, with its crispy skin and delightful flavors! We also had the chef's special nigiri, which was bursting with freshness. Excellent service and knowledgeable staff made our visit worthwhile. Will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is by far the best sushi experience I've had! The fish was fresh, and the service was impeccable. The atmosphere gave off a cozy and upscale vibe all at once. I recommend the omakase; you can really taste the artistry and expertise in every bite. I just wish portions were a bit larger! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been looking for a sushi place that combines authenticity with a modern flair, and Kuma hit the nail on the head. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I especially loved the unique rolls! Although the prices are a bit steep, the quality justifies it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a bit of a sushi snob, and Kuma lived up to the hype. The fish was incredibly fresh and the omakase was artfully arranged. What made it even better was the hospitality from the staff. It was one of the best sushi meals I've had in a long time. Do make a reservation ahead of time, as it can get busy! " (*Curated Review*)
