" The experience at School Sushi was simply delightful! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere caught our attention. We ordered the sushi platter and a couple of ramen bowls. Both were artistic in presentation. However, the sushi could benefit from some innovative flavors. Nevertheless, the friendly service overshadowed any minuscule shortcomings. This spot is a must-try if you appreciate fine Japanese dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first-time dining at School Sushi and I can say it won’t be my last! The sushi rolls were delightful and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated their attention to detail as they explained different items on the menu. Although I went during a peak hour, the service was surprisingly quick. The overall vibe in the restaurant is pleasant, making it a great place for a night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! Everything we tried was delicious, particularly the sushi which tasted like it was made just for us. Every piece I tried was fresh and delicately flavored. The atmosphere is inviting, and you can really tell they pay attention to detail here. Our server, while friendly, was a bit busy; however, that didn’t take away from our enjoyment. Definitely eager to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each time I visit School Sushi, I am blown away by how genuine their dishes taste. The sushi is exquisite and I frequently order the soft-shell crab roll. The service is friendly, but it can get a little busy, especially during lunch hours. The aesthetics of the place capture a warm and inviting Japanese atmosphere. A bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny for sushi aficionados! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit, I ordered the chirashi and it was divine. Every ingredient tasted fresh and of high quality. I was particularly impressed by the variety offered. The atmosphere was welcoming, and despite being busy, our server handled our orders impeccably. If you're looking for well-crafted Japanese cuisine, I can't recommend School Sushi enough. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my quick stop at School Sushi, I had the ramen and some sushi. Both were enjoyable. The ramen had a depth of flavor that was comforting, while the sushi was unique. Service was good, though they seemed slightly overwhelmed. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable dining experience. I would recommend giving this place a try if you enjoy Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love School Sushi! They serve some of the freshest sushi in the area. I enjoyed the salmon and spicy tuna rolls, which were outstanding. The staff was energetic and gave us great recommendations. Although the prices are a bit higher than some casual spots, I believe you get what you pay for here: quality and authenticity. This place is truly a gem! " (*Curated Review*)
