" Just had a lovely dinner at Rai Lay! The spicy tuna was delightful, and every roll we ordered was on point. I love how they focus on fresh ingredients. The environment felt intimate, and the service was attentive in a friendly way. This place has become one of my favorites to recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely worth a visit! The sushi here is fresh, and the ingredients used really stand out. I tried the dragon roll and absolutely loved it. The ambiance is cozy and lovely for a casual dining experience. The service was friendly too. Will be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very disappointed in my meal here. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki and it was missing any semblance of grilling. It tasted bland and uninspired. The sushi was good, but it seemed like I was at different restaurants when they came out, with such a contrast in quality. The service was fine, but I wouldn't come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rai Lay offers a varied menu that caters to all sorts of preferences. I stuck with sushi for my meal and was satisfied with my choices. The portions were fair, and I enjoyed the overall ambiance. I do wish they could improve on their service speed, as we experienced some delays. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was a bit of a mixed bag. The sushi was exceptional, but the Thai dishes weren’t up to par. Notably, the green curry was overly sweet. Service was decent, but not memorable. I think I'll stick with sushi in future visits. " (*Curated Review*)
