" This was my first time at Sankai, and I had high hopes based on reviews. The sushi was fresh but I expected more authenticity. The service was decent but could be more attentive. The ambiance was nice, so it wasn't all bad. I might give it another try one day. " (*Curated Review*)

" On the recommendations of friends, I decided to give Sankai a try. The sushi and bento boxes were both delicious with very fresh ingredients. The staff were friendly and accommodating. A great place to enjoy some quality Japanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Recent visit to Sankai was a letdown. The food was suitable but not the quality I expected. It seemed like several of our dishes were just okay. I will probably explore other options next time. The service was also just average. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I’ve been a bit disappointed with my last visits to Sankai. The quality isn’t as good as it used to be. Some of the fish felt less fresh than I expected for the price. The environment is still nice, but I think they need to work on consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best part about my visit to Sankai was the staff; they were friendly and made the environment lovely. The food, however, didn't live up to expectations. My sushi felt a bit stale, and my companions also felt underwhelmed. I would say it's worth a visit, but manage your expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sankai has a great atmosphere with charming decor. The fish was fresh, which I appreciated. However, the service was quite slow, which detracted from the overall experience. I'd be willing to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love Sankai! Every time I visit, it feels like a celebration. The sushi is always a highlight—perfectly crafted and so fresh. The attentive staff add a personal touch, making sure everything is just right. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
