Tintin Cafe provides a variety of sushi and hibachi dishes that many customers find delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant has maintained a focus on takeout service, especially post-COVID, which has affected its atmosphere slightly.

" I have to admit, my experience at Tintin Cafe was disappointing. I ordered some sushi for lunch that I hoped would be fresh, but instead, it felt like it had been sitting around for a while. The rice was mushy, and the flavors just weren't there. The ambiance is also lacking given it's all takeout. I wish they would pay more attention to freshness. I don't think I’ll be back for the sushi, but maybe I'll give their hibachi a try next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's frustrating to see a restaurant like Tintin Cafe slip in quality over the years. I've been coming here since it opened but the recent experiences have not been up to par. On our last visit, the sushi tasted old and the service felt rushed—like they were trying to get as many people out the door as possible. I also noticed they are still not providing dine-in, which makes the whole experience less enjoyable. Until things improve, I regretfully must lower my rating. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about this place, I decided to try it this past weekend. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and a couple of other sushi items. I loved the flavors, but I should have questioned them about the freshness, as I was slightly unsettled and worried about the quality. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t meet the premium quality I was aiming for. Service was satisfactory but they should really work on improving their plating as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have frequent visits to Tintin for their hibachi chicken and we are always impressed! The quality remains high, the portions generous, and it's all at a reasonable price. The only downside is that it’s takeout only, which can be a bit tricky when you're craving hot sushi. But honestly, it's worth it! Just make sure to check your order before you leave as a few times they’ve forgotten an item. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had countless meals from Tintin Cafe and I’m consistently impressed with their sushi. The BOGO deal is quite tempting and always leads me to order more than I can finish! The flavors are bold and well-balanced. Even though it’s takeout, I never feel let down by the quality. My only wish is that they would reintroduce dine-in options, but for now, the takeaway experience is satisfactory enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined with some friends at Tintin Cafe and was blown away by the quality of the sushi. We tried several rolls and each was fresher and more delicious than the last. The prices were reasonable, especially with their BOGO offer. The staff was polite, and our orders were ready quickly, which was a plus since we were very hungry! The only drawback was the lack of dine-in options, but we made a nice evening out of it nonetheless. Definitely returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm always on the lookout for good sushi and I'm pleased to say Tintin Cafe did not disappoint! With their unbeatable deals and a friendly staff, I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. My recent order of sushi included a mix of rolls which showcased impressive flavors and freshness. They have a good variety on the menu, making it tough to choose what to get next time. I must mention, the only downside is the restrictions on dine-in. Otherwise, it's a fantastic choice for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)
