" Had dinner at Yaki Express and was thoroughly impressed. The sushi rolls were fresh, with generous amounts of fish and very well-priced. The homemade sauces took it up a notch too! I loved the casual vibe and how they embraced a family-friendly environment. The only reason I’m not giving a perfect score is that I wish the drinks were a bit more varied. But overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first experience at Yaki Express was awesome! I was impressed by the diverse menu, offering a variety of rolls and hibachi dishes. The presentation of the food was beautiful, especially the sushi. Service was quick, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. Next time, I’m definitely trying the dumplings; I’ve heard great things about them! They just earned a new regular! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic little sushi place! I came in with high expectations and was not disappointed. My order included the spicy crab roll and shrimp tempura roll, both of which were incredible! Also enjoyed their ginger dressing as a side. Staff were friendly and attentive; I felt cared for throughout my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had lunch at Yaki Express and was very pleased! I had a little trouble deciding what to order due to so many good options. I finally went for the shrimp tempura, and it was delightful. I was happy to see they make their own sauces, giving everything a personal touch. The prices are reasonable too! I will definitely return to try more items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an excellent dinner at Yaki Express last night. The staff was very welcoming, which set the tone for a great experience. I ordered the chicken hibachi, and it was delightful! The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were just right. However, I felt the atmosphere could use a bit more decór; it felt a bit too simple for my taste. Overall, an enjoyable meal!

" I really wanted to love Yaki Express, but it fell short for me. The service was friendly and attentive, but the food was just okay. I had the steak hibachi, and it was pretty average, nothing special about it. The atmosphere was welcoming but a bit lacking in character. I might try some sushi next time to see if that's more my style. " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem has stolen my heart! The couple running the restaurant are so friendly and engaged with their customers. I had the Crazy Boy roll and it was doused in their homemade sauce—a must-try! Portions were more than enough for the price, and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Could not ask for a better experience! " (*Curated Review*)
