" My partner and I visited Kuu to celebrate our anniversary, and it was an evening to remember. The service was top-notch, with our waiter being delightful and very attentive. We started with some edamame and tempura, which were fresh and perfectly cooked. The main attraction was the sushi, and it's safe to say we were not disappointed. The quality was excellent, but we did find the sushi portions a bit on the smaller side, which is common in a tapas-style restaurant. However, we loved every bite and will definitely be back for another special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Kuu, and I was excited after hearing all the recommendations. The atmosphere was nice, with great decor and ambiance. I enjoyed the sushi, especially the freshness of the fish. However, I found the prices somewhat steep for the portion sizes offered. Our waiter was very attentive, but I think he was new, as he was a bit green on the menu details. It was a pleasant experience overall, but not sure if I would come back due to the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kuu provides a unique atmosphere with a focus on authenticity in Japanese cuisine. The attention to detail in the presentation made every dish exciting, and the ingredients tasted pristine. I tried the foie gras nigiri, and it was heavenly! My only complaint was some inconsistencies with service, as our server wasn't as knowledgeable about the omakase menu as I would have liked. But overall, I walked away very satisfied with my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Kuu was an unforgettable experience. The food was exquisite and showcased the chef's creativity. Each dish rang true to its authentic Japanese roots while offering that modern twist. Although a bit pricey, I totally accepted that given the quality. The soft ambiance with a violinist made the evening more special. However, I do wish portion sizes were slightly bigger. Overall, I will definitely return to Kuu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kuu left me utterly impressed with its authenticity and flair. Walking in, the ambiance transported me straight to Japan—exquisite decor and soothing music from the violinist created a serene dining atmosphere. We tried various dishes, from the miso soup to the famous nigiri, all laden with fresh ingredients that spoke to the restaurant's commitment to quality. The only drawback was that I found the portion sizes a bit small for the price point. Despite that, I am already planning my return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was excellent, and the ambiance of Kuu is lovely—definitely a place for a special occasion. The menu had a broad selection of sushi and other Japanese dishes, though I felt the portion sizes could be larger. The food was well-prepared and incredibly flavorful. I would recommend stopping by if you’re looking to try something new or celebrate an event. It's a bit pricey but worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kuu's atmosphere was beautiful, perfect for a casual yet elegant dining experience. The sushi I ordered was fresh, and the flavors were on point. I would suggest coming here as a treat, as it can be pricey for everyday dining. Portion sizes are small, but it's all about sharing, so it can be ideal for a group outing. Overall, I enjoyed my time and hope to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
