" Had a mixed experience here. While the sushi was quite good, I had the chirashi and it left me disappointed due to portion size. Didn’t feel like it met the price point. The atmosphere was good and staff were friendly, an overall average outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited on a busy Saturday and while the food was good, the service was a bit slow. The place had a lively vibe, which I liked, but I had to wait a while for my order. The shrimp tempura was crispy and delicious, although I wouldn’t recommend their unique rolls if you prefer traditional sushi flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dishes were good but did not wow me as I expected. The sushi rolls did look appealing but the taste was just decent. Service was fine, but I felt a little rushed toward the end. Not certain if I would try again. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Mao Izakaya & Sushi, and I was not let down. The grilled items were flavorful and well-executed. Their miso soup was light yet packed with umami. My only downside was the wait time, as it seemed like they were understaffed during peak hours. Nonetheless, I would recommend this restaurant for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The food just didn't measure up to my expectations. My order took a long time to arrive, and when it did, the sushi was not as fresh as I'd hoped. The atmosphere felt rushed due to the service. Not sure I'll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" An overall great experience! The service was fast, and the food was prepared beautifully. The highlight was the Seiro Mushi; it was just delightful to eat and very authentic. I also had the tempura, which was light and crispy. I’d return without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. The yakitori was nicely grilled, and so were the skewers. Good sake selection as well! Only downside was the somewhat cramped seating which can be improved. " (*Curated Review*)
