" I couldn’t help but rave about Tsubaki to my friends! The short ribs melted in my mouth, and the flavors were an explosion of joy. I felt the prices were just right for the quality we received. The cocktail menu was a bonus, adding a fun element to our evening. The indoor decor was beautiful as well. I highly recommend making reservations as it tends to fill up! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tsubaki is a spot I’d gladly return to! The creativity of the dishes immediately caught my attention, and each one was pleasing to the palate. The atmosphere felt very cozy, and the staff were mostly attentive to our needs. We ended with dessert that was a delightful surprise! If you’re seeking a place that feels different yet familiar, this is it. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my meal at Tsubaki, I didn’t feel it lived up to its hype. The dishes were creative, but I missed that depth of flavor I associate with authentic Japanese cuisine. Some items were just okay - the noodles didn't impress me. Service was decent, but I wish they focused a bit more on enhancing the overall guest experience. Perhaps it was an off night, but I might not return right away. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Tsubaki but unfortunately it fell short. I found the menu to be overwhelming and the dishes too experimental. It seemed like they were trying too hard to be innovative rather than focusing on authentic flavors. Although the ambiance was lovely and the staff were accommodating, I couldn’t shake off my disappointment with the food. Maybe I just picked the wrong dishes? " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Tsubaki provided a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The dishes we tried were thoughtfully prepared, and I genuinely loved the fried eggplant and short ribs. I felt the portions were slightly on the smaller side, but everything tasted fresh and made with quality ingredients. I’d definitely come back to try their seasonal offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible experience at Tsubaki! We ordered almost everything on the menu to share. The grilled fish and short ribs were the highlights for me. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Making a reservation is definitely the way to go, and I can’t wait to return to try even more dishes! A true culinary adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The variety of shareable plates made for a fun dinner with friends. We enjoyed everything from the grilled prawns to the unique miso Caesar salad. Each dish was a masterpiece in presentation although I felt the portions could be slightly larger. We ended with the hojicha ice cream, which was so good! Would absolutely return.
