" Had a mixed experience at Gintei. The sushi quality was great but service seemed overwhelmed during the busy hours. I ordered the omakase and while the sushi was excellent, I felt the portion sizes were a tad small for the price. Would consider coming back, especially for lunch specials. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Gintei for a special occasion, and it was a fantastic experience. The sushi was genuinely fresh, and the chefs were knowledgeable about their craft. I particularly enjoyed the torched sushi; it added a nice touch of flavor. The service was prompt despite the restaurant being busy, and the decor was elegant yet unpretentious. Would highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many sushi restaurants, but Gintei stands out for its authentic taste and quality. The omakase was a delightful journey through various flavors, and the staff was attentive. It is a bit on the expensive side, but I think it's worth treating yourself once in a while! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional time at Gintei! The cleanliness of the restaurant and the zen-like ambiance made for a relaxing dining experience. The omakase was delightful with each piece of sushi better than the last. I particularly enjoyed the live sea urchin; it was like a little taste of Japan right in California! Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have had many meals here over the years. Gintei maintains high standards for freshness and taste. Most of their offerings are spot-on, but I did have one visit where I felt the quality dipped compared to the usual. Despite that, I appreciate their focus on authentic preparation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a fantastic dinner! I enjoyed the sushi here above many others because of the freshness and flavor. The chef was very friendly and gave some excellent recommendations. I would say the prices are elevated, but for a special evening, Gintei does not disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect spot for sushi lovers! I was amazed by the variety! I ordered the salmon nigiri and it was outstanding. The decor inside was minimal but very inviting. The staff was very friendlier than I expected, and they even made suggestions that hit the spot! Will surely be back. " (*Curated Review*)
