" I had a frustrating experience. The food took much longer than expected to arrive, even though the place wasn't too busy. The flavors were decent, but I was hoping for more authenticity. I'm unsure if I'll return based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last week and ordered the sushi platter. The freshness of the fish was exceptional, and the dipping sauces were tasty. I didn't enjoy the service as much since it took longer to get our drinks refilled, but the atmosphere was laid back, perfect for a nice night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my second time visiting Sama Zama, and I have to say it keeps getting better! The onigiri and dango dessert were perfect, offering a uniquely Japanese touch. The restaurant was bustling, but the staff were patient and professional. The authenticity in every dish is what draws me back again and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Sama Zama and was thoroughly impressed! The gyoza was simply the best I've ever had, with a perfect balance of crispy and chewy. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a great place to relax. The pricing seemed reasonable for the quality of the food. All in all, a fantastic experience that I can't recommend enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ingredients are sourced directly from Japan, which you can taste in every dish! The onigiri was my favorite, and the atmosphere, although small, is charming. However, the service was slower than I hoped during my visit. I could definitely see myself coming back, though, just for the delightful dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the overall experience was delightful, the outdoor seating could really use some improvement. The atmosphere felt nice inside but can get quite busy. Nonetheless, the sushi plate was stunningly delicious! I would recommend this place, keeping in mind to come early to grab a good seat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch with a group at Sama Zama and found it to be very enjoyable! The service was prompt. Everyone else seemed to lose their minds over the ramen, but I loved the katsu curry! The prices were reasonable too considering the quality provided. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
