" 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*)
