" Yabu has been my go-to place for sushi over the years, and it never fails to impress! Their cold soba is refreshing, especially during the summer. I also love the variety of sushi they offer. The only downside was the wait time during peak hours, but the food is always worth it. I found it to be reasonably priced for the quality offered. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Yabu after many recommendations and I'm glad I did! The sushi was fresh as promised, and I also enjoyed their chirashi sushi set which was filling. The atmosphere felt very cozy and welcoming, but the service could be improved as my server seemed preoccupied. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Yabu was less than stellar this time. The food was still decent, but our order took far too long to arrive, which affected our overall enjoyment. However, the quality of the ingredients still shines through; I'll give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a hidden gem! The soba noodles were fantastic, and I loved the gindara black cod. Everything had an authentic touch that truly made it special. The place was slightly busy when I visited, and it took a while to get seated, but the food made up for it. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Yabu is my favorite sushi spot. I've tried numerous rolls and hot dishes, and everything has been consistently delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and it feels like a true Japanese restaurant. The only complaint I have is that parking can be tricky during busy hours. But the food and experience are definitely worth the hassle! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my visit to Yabu. The fried oysters were out of this world! Although the service was slightly slower than I expected, the staff was kind and helpful. I tried several different rolls and each was packed with flavor. I could tell that they take pride in their ingredients. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! Yabu impressed me with its quality of food and the authenticity of its Japanese dishes. However, I did notice that their menu was a bit limited for vegetarians, but what they do serve is exceptional. The servers were attentive and made the experience pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)
