" I visited May Island expecting high-quality sushi based on previous reviews, and I'm torn between pleased and a bit let down. I ordered multiple rolls, and while they were beautifully presented, some of the ingredients felt lacking in freshness. The service was good, and the staff was friendly, but the quality of the fish was a concern. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the experience overall, but there is room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited May Island with high expectations but were a bit disappointed. While the atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was polite, the food was just average. I've had better sushi elsewhere. Service was a bit slow, which made our experience less enjoyable. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here recently and was impressed by the quality of the food. The flavors burst in every dish we ordered. The only downside was that it felt a bit crowded. Nonetheless, the friendly service made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sushi here. The rolls were original and full of taste. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it was still a nice experience. I will likely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" May Island has become my go-to for Asian cuisine! The menu is vast, offering both sushi and traditional Chinese dishes. I've tried many items, but the mongolian beef is simply the best. The staff is always welcoming, and the ambiance is perfect for a casual meal. I particularly appreciate that they use fresh ingredients which makes a noticeable difference in taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love this restaurant! It's a quaint little place that serves some of the best sushi I've had outside of Japan. The fish tasted incredibly fresh and the rolls were expertly crafted. The service was friendly and prompt. This is my new go-to spot for sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could say I loved this place, but my meal went wrong on many levels. The shrimp tasted off, and the sushi was just poor quality. The manager didn’t seem to mind my complaints, which was frustrating. I can’t see myself returning. " (*Curated Review*)
