" I had a wonderful time at Demae! The service was excellent—from the moment we walked in, the staff was attentive and polite. I can highly recommend the miso soup, which was rich and flavorful. The only downside was that I found the sushi rolls a bit smaller than anticipated. But overall, a lovely experience. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say that my friends and I were completely blown away by Demae. After initially being hesitant due to the restaurant's quiet atmosphere during our visit, we were met with some of the best authentic Japanese food I've had in years. The chicken teriyaki was deliciously charred and served with perfect sides. The bento boxes provided a tremendous amount of food for the price. On Tuesdays, I heard they have a sushi roll promotion that I am looking forward to trying next time. The only thing we encountered was that the service was a bit slow; however, they were friendly, so it didn’t bother us much. All in all, a gem in Provo! " (*Curated Review*)

" With my family, we decided to try Demae based on several recommendations. The staff seemed overwhelmed upon our arrival during the lunch rush, which led to a slightly slower service than expected. However, once the food arrived, all was forgiven! The sushi was excellent, with an authentic taste, though some rolls were on the smaller side. The kids loved their bento boxes, and we all left satisfied. Overall, a good family-friendly place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Demae for the first time, and I have to say, the experience was fantastic! The sushi was fresh, and the teriyaki chicken was perfectly cooked. The ambiance was calm and welcoming, perfect for a quiet dinner. Highly recommend trying their bento box special for a great price. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently, I took my family to Demae after hearing so many good things, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The sushi was fresh and delicious, but the donburi dishes were the real stars of the meal! Super well-prepared and flavorful. The staff was friendly, though we noticed the restaurant was under-staffed during peak hours. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Demae last week, and while I loved the authentic flavors, I must admit that the service was sporadic during our visit. We were often left unattended and had to wave down a server. However, once we placed our orders, the food came out quickly and hot. The sushi was particularly fresh, but I felt some of the offerings could be improved to enhance overall satisfaction. I’d consider a return visit, hoping for a smoother experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Demae on a whim while wandering through downtown Provo, and I'm glad I did! The décor offers a lovely traditional Japanese feel, and the staff was welcoming. I ordered a seafood udon dish, which was enjoyable but could have used a bit more depth in flavor. That being said, the bento box option appeared popular amongst other diners, and the portions are definitely worth mentioning as generous and satisfying. I'd return to explore more of what they have to offer. " (*Curated Review*)
