" I'm a huge fan of Japanese cuisine, and Stem definitely exceeded my expectations. The duck tsukemen was a standout dish for me, cooked to perfection with a rich flavor that lingered on my palate. The staff were incredibly attentive, and I appreciated the time they took to explain each dish. The ambiance felt modern yet warm, creating an inviting atmosphere for dining. The only downside was the portion sizes; I left feeling a bit hungry. But overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for high-quality Japanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent dinner at Stem, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype. While the sushi was fresh and the presentation was beautiful, I felt that some dishes were a bit bland. The service could have been better; we had to wait a long time for water refills and our server seemed a bit distant. It’s a nice place and I might return to try the omakase, but I wouldn't call it my favorite Japanese restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" So good! I can't stop thinking about the sushi I had here! It was a real culinary experience, and each piece was crafted with precision. The setting was beautiful, and I found myself totally absorbed in the atmosphere. The dedication to authenticity speaks loudly in the flavors. It is a bit on the pricier side, but quality Japanese food is worth it. I highly recommend Stem to anyone craving authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing evening at Stem last week. First time enjoying their themed omakase and it was delightful. Every dish reflected local ingredients intertwined with traditional Japanese flavors. The ambience was soothing, although the restaurant was quite busy. The staff was diligent, but I felt a bit rushed due to the crowd. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it for those who appreciate quality Japanese dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Top-notch Japanese cuisine! The combination of flavors in the dishes is delightful, and the attention to detail is remarkable. I ordered several items and enjoyed every bite. The atmosphere was intimate and warm; it’s perfect for a memorable dining experience. Service was wonderful—our waiter made great recommendations! I would rate Stem highly and plan on returning with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm someone who visits Japanese restaurants frequently, and Stem stands out among them. The decor is charming, and the staff is friendly. Everything from their yaki onigiri to the edamame is delicious, but the true masterpiece is their to-die-for matcha tiramisu dessert. It's simply divine! If you enjoy authentic Japanese flavors, this is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner at Stem with a friend. The sashimi was divine, very fresh and well-cut. The ambiance was quiet and perfect for conversation. The service was friendly, but slightly delayed. Although I enjoyed the food, I have to say the portion sizes left me wanting more, especially given the higher price point. Nonetheless, I would certainly return for a special occasion.
