" Lumi is a gem in the Gaslamp Quarter! The fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavors is magical! Each dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, from the ceviche to the sushi rolls. I especially loved the seabass roll—it melted in my mouth. The only downside was a slight wait for our table, but it was absolutely worth it for such an enjoyable evening. Don’t miss out on the rooftop cocktail experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a large party at Lumi, and the service was commendable given how busy they were. The food was exquisite—each dish had a lovely presentation, and the flavors were vibrant. The drinks were equally impressive, and the rooftop vibe is wonderful for gatherings. I highly recommend it for fun nights out. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Lumi is undeniably vibrant and perfect for a lively dinner. I ordered a variety of dishes and was mostly pleased with the quality, especially the ceviche. However, one of our rolls had a bit of a fishy odor, which was surprising. Despite this, the sushi itself tasted alright. Service might need a little smoothing out, but overall I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful evening at Lumi! The view is stunning, and the setting is very chic. The food was predominantly excellent, with standout dishes like the Akira Back pizza and various specialty rolls. While the server was friendly, the service was a bit slow, which interrupted the flow of our meal. Still, it was a great place for a romantic dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" The cocktails at Lumi were astounding, each one as unique as the dishes! I had the signature Akira Back pizza, which had an interesting spin. The flavors were good but I expected more freshness in the sushi aspect. The ambiance was perfect, though, making the dining experience enjoyable. I recommend the experience; just don’t expect all dishes to shine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Lumi based on several recommendations, and while I had high expectations, I found the dishes to be underwhelming at times. The service was quick but impersonal, and while I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food didn't wow me as much as I thought it would. I’ll consider giving it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a good evening at Lumi despite a few hiccups. The food was flavorful, especially the sushi updates, but some rolls were a bit fishy in taste. The rooftop was lively, and the view was beautiful, but the music was perhaps a bit too much for my taste. Overall, I had fun and would consider returning but with different food choices. " (*Curated Review*)
