" I had an absolute blast at The Big Kraken! Although I went there for sushi, I ended up trying their hamburger which was surprisingly juicy and flavorful. The decor gives a cozy vibe, perfect for casual dining. The only downside was the service; it was a bit slow, but the tasty experience made it worthwhile! Definitely a place to unwind after a long day, and while the sushi wasn’t traditional, it catered well to my craving for unique flavors. I’d rate it a solid 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" My trip to The Big Kraken was one I had mixed feelings about. I liked the ambiance a lot and it’s a good place for photos! The staff were attentive, but the menu was disappointing as the sushi lacked that distinctive freshness. But I was surprised to find the hamburgers were excellent! I’ll give them a fair rating of 3 because the atmosphere and service were strong, even if the food was hit or miss. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for The Big Kraken but left feeling disappointed. The creativity of their dishes is commendable, but the execution fell flat in terms of taste and freshness. While the staff were upbeat and attentive, the food failed to impress. I would give them a 2, with the appeal lying mainly in the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried The Big Kraken, and while I enjoyed the ambiance, the food was underwhelming. They seriously need to work on freshness, as my sushi was quite stale. Service was pleasant enough but slow. I would give them a rating of 2, hoping they can bring back more traditional sushi options that are fresher and more flavorful. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good spot for casual dining, but don't expect authentic sushi! The fusion menu was interesting, but I felt like they should have aimed for a more traditional flavor profile. Service was very friendly. I enjoyed my time there but wouldn’t be rushing back for sushi. I'd rate the whole experience a 3 mainly for the casual vibe and service. " (*Curated Review*)
