" Every visit to Daigo has been extraordinary! Their sushi is consistently fantastic, with fresh and flavorful fish sourced, likely from Japan. I love sitting at the sushi bar where I can watch the chefs at work; it's truly an art. The menu offers a great variety, and the seasonal specials never disappoint. As for prices, I find them fair for the quality provided. Always remember to make a reservation as it can be quite busy. Think I might go back this weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super excited to try Daigo after hearing great reviews, but my experience was a bit mixed. While the sushi was tasty, I found the portions quite small – especially for a restaurant with such high prices. I opted for the omakase, and some of the fish didn’t seem as fresh as I had hoped. The atmosphere was lovely and intimate, perfect for a date night, but I left feeling deprived rather than satisfied. Might give it another chance but won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A rather average visit to Daigo. While the aesthetics and sushi freshness earns it points, I left feeling underwhelmed by the portion sizes relative to the hefty price tag. My sushi rolls were tasty but didn't blow me away. I might have just had high expectations from all the glowing reviews. The service and atmosphere were enjoyable, though, making me consider giving them another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional dining experience at Daigo! The moment I stepped in, I was welcomed with a friendly ambiance and the smell of fresh sushi wafting through the air. I opted for the omakase and was blown away by the presentation and flavors of each piece. The fish was incredibly fresh, and I particularly loved the uni which melted in my mouth. The staff was attentive but not overbearing, striking the perfect balance. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it gets busy, and I can see why. Overall, this place is a hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was lucky to have dinner at Daigo last weekend with friends, and it was a delightful experience! The fish was fresh, and the flavors were pure. We ordered a mix of nigiri and rolls, and I loved how each piece had its unique seasoning that complemented the fish without overpowering it. The only downside was the limited seating, which made me feel a bit rushed towards the end of the meal as I could see new diners waiting. Still, the service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Daigo is a must-try for sushi lovers! The fresh fish and authentic flavor profile is something you can't find everywhere. I particularly loved the uni and wagyu nigiri. It’s a bit small, and I would say make a reservation ahead of time for the best seating. The only downside? The price, especially if you're going during peak times. Nevertheless, I can't complain too much about the quality! Will definitely come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic sushi restaurant that brings a taste of Japan to Palo Alto. The decor is simple yet elegant, creating a peaceful dining experience. I enjoyed the omakase and was impressed with the variety and quality of ingredients. Some pieces were exceptionally flavorful, especially the mackerel. The only issue I faced was the seemingly long wait time even with a reservation, which dampened the experience slightly. Nonetheless, I would recommend Daigo to anyone seeking authentic sushi.
