" Visited IMA after hearing great things, and it was a fantastic experience! The sukiyaki was hands down the best I've had outside Japan. The staff were very courteous and provided excellent recommendations on what to order. The ambiance struck a good balance between comfortable and classy. My only critique would be the portion sizes, they felt slightly small for the price. Nevertheless, I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! IMA is everything I hoped for and more. The beef is undoubtedly some of the best I've tasted, and I've been to Japan several times. The sukiyaki is to die for! I was also impressed with how the staff handled our dietary restrictions; they were super accommodating. If you're looking for a memorable meal, this is it. Be prepared to spend a bit, but trust me, it’s worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a true fan of Japanese cuisine, IMA is a hidden gem that I stumbled upon! The shabu-shabu was hot, fresh, and filled with an incredible umami flavor that made each bite a delight. The only downside? I wanted to order everything on the menu! The interior decor exudes elegance and the ambiance is perfect for a date night or celebration. The only catch was the price — you do pay a premium for such high-quality dishes. Nevertheless, I'll certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried IMA and was left unimpressed. While the ambiance was fine, the flavors of the dishes did not justify the high prices. I expected the beef to be extraordinary, but it tasted comparable to other places I've been. Having said that, the service was friendly and attentive. I don’t see myself coming back unless I hear something really different in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I experienced the best sukiyaki I've ever had here. The beef was always fresh, especially the Wagyu, and it just melted away! The servers were very attentive and quick to refill everything after asking. I loved how clean and beautifully presented the restaurant was. My only wish would be that the portions were a bit larger to match the price. Overall, I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard about the high quality of IMA, and my experience lived up to the hype! The meal was an authentic delight; the wagyu beef was cooked to perfection with a rich flavor. The waitstaff provided stellar service throughout, explaining each dish with great detail. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance. Pricing is high, but the experience is worth every bit, especially if you appreciate fine dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose IMA to celebrate our anniversary, and it was so worth it! The beef was exquisite, and the flavors of the sukiyaki were so well balanced. Our waiter was so kind, offering suggestions that were spot-on. The restaurant had a wonderful vibe, making the meal all the more special. Pricey but perfect for a special occasion; we will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)
