" I can confidently say this is one of my favorite sushi spots! I brought my family here for a birthday, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. The chefs are so engaging and truly make the meal feel special. The sushi rolls were unbelievably fresh and packed with flavor. I also recommend the scallops—they were cooked to perfection. The kids had a blast, and we can't wait to come back for another family celebration. If you're looking for a fantastic sushi experience, make reservations ahead of time; it gets busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and vibrant atmosphere! The chefs are so skilled and made my experience enjoyable. I loved the hibachi shrimp and fried rice! The prices are reasonable for the quality of food, and the portions are generous. Highly recommend for gatherings of friends or family—I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a regular here, and it’s hard to find a bad thing to say! The staff are always friendly, and you can tell everyone enjoys working there. I can't get enough of their shrimp tempura and their spicy rolls. In addition to being delicious, the sushi is also very fresh. The atmosphere is fun with laughter and the smell of grilling food filling the air. A little pricey, but totally worth every penny. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Yanagi Sushi & Grill for a special occasion and was blown away by the quality of the sushi. Every piece was fresh, and the presentation was stunning. The chefs were amazing, creating a fun and lively atmosphere while preparing our meals right in front of us. I highly recommend trying the chef's special rolls and the hibachi grill options—they are absolutely delightful! The only downside was a slight wait time, but it was well worth it for the experience. Overall, I can't wait to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Yanagi Sushi & Grill. The ambiance is vibrant, and I loved the chefs’ interactive cooking at the grill table. However, I found the sushi to be underwhelming compared to other places I've tried—some cuts seemed less fresh. My fried rice was good, but the portion was smaller than expected for the price. On the flip side, the service was quick and our server was friendly. I think I'd give it another chance, especially since I enjoyed the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after seeing many positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience wasn’t as great. The sushi was average at best; I expected more freshness. The ambiance was nice, though, and the chef at our table was entertaining. Overall, I might consider trying it again but won’t make it a priority. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner with friends at Yanagi! The sushi was fresh, and the appetizers were delightful. We got to sit at the grill table, which made our night extra fun! The only downside was the service was a bit slow as it got busier. Overall, the food and atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)
