" Honestly, I wasn’t wowed by my experience at Daigo. Though the sushi was decent and fresh, I expected more given all the hype. I felt like the authenticity was there, but the flavors could have been bolder. Also, the prices are quite steep for what you get. I waited long for my table even though I had a reservation, which wasn’t the best start. On the positives, the atmosphere felt upscale and the service was friendly. I might return but probably wouldn’t prioritize it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Daigo is truly a hidden gem! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the food is genuinely authentic. I couldn't recommend the omakase highly enough – every piece was better than the last and showcased the chef's expertise. The sake selection was impressive too! Each bite felt like a taste of Japan, reminding me of my travels there. The only drawback was that it is a bit pricey, but the quality is undeniable. Would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" A true culinary experience at Daigo! We ordered the omakase and were treated to a delightful array of flavors, each piece more delicious than the last. The ambiance was cozy, creating a wonderful setting for our meal. The only hiccup was that our server initially forgot one of our drink orders, but they were very apologetic and corrected it swiftly. All in all, it was a fantastic evening. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A mixed experience at Daigo. I was excited to finally try the place due to all the hype, but while the sushi was fresh, I found the portions too small, especially for the price. I ordered the omakase and felt that although each piece was crafted with skill, I left a little unsatisfied. The service was friendly and the ambiance nice, but I feel like I expected more. I'll probably give it another shot, but I'm not in a rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Daigo. While the ambiance is lovely and the service is friendly, I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by the food. The flavors were pleasant, but they lacked excitement, especially compared to other sushi spots I've visited. Furthermore, my sushi portions were small, and I left a little hungry after the meal. I might give it another try but need to think twice given the price. " (*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.
