" What a delightful surprise Sake Bomb was! The sushi was gourmet quality with a vast menu. My daughters are sushi fans and devoured their meals. My personal favorite was the black dragon roll—just perfect. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming with friendly staff. I definitely plan on coming back soon, and I'd suggest it for anyone looking for great sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sake Bomb last week with a group of friends and I must say, it lived up to the hype! The BOGO sushi promotion is fantastic—definitely a money saver. Every roll we tried was delicious and had that authentic taste you would expect in a good Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere was lively, creating a perfect spot for friends to gather. However, a few times I felt we had to wait a bit longer for our drinks. But the food made up for it! Would definitely recommend for sushi lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sake Bomb was recommended to me by a friend, and now I see why. The entire experience was enjoyable—the sushi was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic! I particularly loved the sunset roll. However, I found the miso soup to be a bit sweeter than I'm used to, which detracted from my overall experience. I would encourage anyone to try the sushi, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't convinced at first, but Sake Bomb is now one of my favorite sushi spots! Every time I've come here, the sushi is consistently tasty and fresh. Plus, I love the BOGO special! Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly, helping us choose our orders. Everything was well-cooked, including the hibachi we tried last week. This place deserves all the praise it gets! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Sake Bomb didn't match up to the rave reviews I had heard. The sushi was decent but lacked that fresh kick that brings sushi to life—it felt a bit stale. The service also left something to be desired; our server seemed overwhelmed and barely checked on us. While the ambiance was nice, I wouldn't rush back for the sushi. One positive was the generous portions, but it's hard to make up for the other shortcomings. " (*Curated Review*)

" This sushi spot is amazing! I brought my clients here for lunch, and they enjoyed every bite. We tried both sashimi and rolls and were thoroughly impressed by how fresh everything tasted. Service was impeccable, and the wait times were reasonable. The atmosphere felt professional yet relaxed, making it suitable for business meetings. Will definitely return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, my last visit did not meet expectations. I ordered the bulgogi and was disappointed with the flavor. It felt bland and uninspired. The ambiance felt more like a sprawling cafeteria than a restaurant. The service was attentive, but it just wasn’t enough to compensate for the food experience. I will consider it again but not immediately. " (*Curated Review*)
