" I’m always pleased with my visits to Ponzu. The chigae dishes are incredible! I am especially fond of the spicy kimchi chigae. It’s rich, bold, and positively packed with flavors. The staff is friendly, and I love the cozy atmosphere. Perfect spot for a casual meal that doesn’t disappoint. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Ponzu on a whim, and I must say, it was a delightful surprise! The menu offers such a vast selection, from sushi to classic Korean dishes. I ordered the maki rolls, which were fresh and flavorful. We also tried the chicken katsu, which was crispy and juicy. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food, and the vibe is relaxed. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently experienced Ponzu, and it was quite the dining adventure. The sushi was very fresh, and the portion sizes are generous. I loved the variety of options on the menu, but I felt the ambiance was a bit too loud for a really relaxing evening. The service was adequate, though they could have been more attentive. I’d consider coming back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Ponzu was a delightful experience! I ordered the seafood udon and shared some sushi with friends. All dishes were beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. I also appreciated the vibrant atmosphere and friendly service. My only critique would be that I felt a little cramped; tables could be spaced out a bit more for comfort. Nevertheless, I'd happily return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Ponzu multiple times, and I have to say the consistency in quality is commendable. My favorite go-to dish is definitely the dolsot bibimbap. The flavor combinations are on point every time! The staff is nice, and the wait time is usually reasonable. Great place for a laid-back dinner with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Ponzu, but sadly it didn’t live up to my expectations. The sushi was decent but not anything special, and the wait for our food felt abnormally long for a weeknight. The server was nice, but they seemed overwhelmed, which affected the overall experience. I may return in hopes of better timing and food consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ponzu is my go-to spot for sushi in Waltham! The freshness of the seafood is unmatchable, and the diversity of the menu keeps me coming back. I particularly love their special rolls and miso soup. The service staff is always friendly and accommodating, which enhances my dining experience. Every time I visit, it feels like a special occasion, be it a casual lunch or a date night. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
