" Zento is a hidden gem! I came here on a recommendation and was blown away. The sushi was amazing, particularly the spicy tuna roll. The place is small and gets busy, but the service was still attentive. The pricing is also very fair for the quality. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Zento to be a delightful sushi spot! The salmon rolls were everything I hoped they would be, and the bento box was a filling choice. The prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting. The only downside is the place gets a bit noisy during peak times, but the food makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious sushi! I visited Zento on a Friday night and was impressed by the quality of the fish. The salmon nigiri literally melted in my mouth. A little on the pricey side, but worth every penny for the taste and freshness. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for authentic Japanese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at Zento, especially the chicken teriyaki which was flavorful. The sushi was good, but not as impressive as I had hoped. Service could be improved as I had to wait long for my check. Despite that, the environment was friendly and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zento is a really cool place with fresh sushi and a laid-back atmosphere. I went on a Saturday night and felt it was busy, but somehow not overwhelming. The food arrived promptly, and I was satisfied with the portion sizes as well. I would definitely recommend this spot for sushi lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly authentic experience at Zento! The sushi chefs are skilled and the ingredients are fresh. I had the toro nigiri, and it was outstanding. The ambiance is cozy, albeit a bit cramped, but that adds to the charm. Definitely recommend for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I grabbed dinner at Zento and had a wonderful time. The signature rolls were delicious, and we were impressed by the presentation of the dishes. However, the wait for our food felt longer than expected. I'd return for the food quality but wish for quicker service. " (*Curated Review*)
