" Unfortunately, my experience at Seto was underwhelming. While the sushi was decent, it wasn't the standout I had anticipated. The prices felt inflated for the value received. I appreciate the attempt at creating a cozy environment; however, the service was slow, which added to my disappointment. I might try it again in the future, but I’ll manage my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon visiting Seto for the second time, I can confidently say it meets my expectations for a Japanese restaurant. The menu has enough variety while sticking to its authentic roots. The tempura was really crispy and not oily. The miso soup was average, though. Despite a hiccup in order time, the employees were polite. I'd recommend for those who love genuine Japanese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Seto is a staple treasure in Richmond! I love how authentic the food feels. The chirashi don was a flavor explosion—perfectly seasoned. The staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed during busy times, which led to slower service. I often find myself returning for the taste of home, it's a strong question of quality over speed. Always a great choice for family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I celebrated a special occasion at Seto and it was delightful! The food quality stands out—each dish we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. We loved the sushi boat, it was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The service was friendly but a little slow, particularly during peak hours. Worth every penny for that authentic Japanese experience, will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about my experience at Seto. The food truly feels authentic and reminds me of my trips to Japan. The nigiri was perfectly crafted and incredibly fresh. I enjoyed the cozy booths, it felt like a hidden gem. The service was attentive without being intrusive. My only complaint was the slightly higher price point, but the quality justifies it. This is definitely a place I will return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, we took the plunge and ordered a sushi boat from Seto to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a great choice—definitely big enough to share and tasty! Everything was extremely fresh, and the variety kept things interesting. The service was a bit lackluster, but the food more than made up for it. The ambiance was nice too; we felt comfortable. I would recommend this place for special gatherings or family dinners. " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon recommendation, I tried Seto and was pleasantly surprised! The nigiri was fresh and tasty, and they had a nice selection of traditional Japanese dishes. Even though prices are on the higher side, I think the food quality justifies it. The layout of the restaurant is nice for conversations. Overall, a good experience and I'd be happy to return.
