" What an incredible place! The sushi was some of the best I've had, and their unique rolls were delightful. Service was fast, and the ambiance was cozy. I'll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience. The rice in my sushi was undercooked, and the overall flavors were dull. Service was decent, but I expected more from a place with such high ratings. Not sure I will return. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem this place is! Tucked next to a 7-11, I almost missed it, but I’m so glad I didn’t! The sushi is excellent and very well-priced for the quality. I love the spicy tuna rolls and their dragon rolls are even better! The staff is always so attentive. You can tell they care about their customers. Definitely returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I dine at May Island, I enjoy not just the food but the whole experience. Their sushi is a highlight, especially the sashimi - incredibly fresh and tender! The staff is always friendly, and I love the ambience. It's my favorite place for a casual meal with family or friends. Definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited several times, I can say the quality is inconsistent. Some dishes are outstanding, but in my last visit, the sushi seemed off and the chicken was overcooked. There is potential, but they need more consistency. " (*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*)
