" I'm so happy that I tried Damso Izakaya! The authentic vibe was just what I was looking for, and the food did not disappoint. I particularly loved the vibrant sushi rolls that were delightful to eat. Though the service was sometimes slow, the high-quality food made up for it. I’ll definitely be back to explore even more of their menu options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Damso Izakaya has become my go-to spot! The atmosphere is lively and reminds me of izakayas I visited while in Japan. We ordered the mixed sushi platter and were blown away by the taste. The only disappointment was the wait time, which was a bit longer than I'd typically like. Nevertheless, I'll continue to return for the quality food and friendly vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Damso Izakaya the other night and absolutely loved it! The sushi is fresh and beautifully curated. I recommend the spicy salmon roll – it was one of the best I’ve had! The atmosphere was buzzing, but when it got too noisy, it detracted from the experience a bit. Generally, it’s a great place for dinner with friends. I will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" This izakaya has become one of my favorites! The ambience feels authentic, full of energy and warmth. I tried their Udon dishes and found them satisfying; however, I felt the portion size was a bit small for my appetite. The sushi was fresh, especially the salmon pressed sushi, which I’d highly recommend. Would love to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at Damso Izakaya! The moment I stepped in, I was embraced by the charming ambiance decorated with Japanese art. We decided to go with a variety platter and were quite impressed with the freshness of the sushi! Unfortunately, some of the dishes were kind of hit-or-miss. Overall, it’s worth checking out for its unique offers and inviting atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is nothing short of amazing! Upon entering Damso Izakaya, you truly feel transported to Japan. The sushi rolls we ordered were creative and flavorful, especially the Angry Rainbow Roll which had a lovely blend of sweet and savory. The service was prompt, and our server was knowledgeable about the dishes. However, I wish the portion sizes were a little more generous given the price. Overall, an excellent experience that I'll remember for a long time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Damso Izakaya! I felt like I stepped right into an izakaya in Japan. The food was authentic and exceptionally curated. The sushi was fresh, and I was particularly impressed by the creativity of the rolls like the truffle roll. However, I did find it a tad bit pricey. Still, the quality makes it worth the cost, and the atmosphere was simply delightful! Will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
