" Kurumaya Japanese Restaurant is definitely one of the most authentic places to enjoy Japanese cuisine around. I had the katsu curry and it was phenomenal. The flavors transported me back to Japan. The service was friendly but a bit slow during peak hours. The atmosphere was pleasant, though a bit busy. I appreciated the portion sizes as they were more than enough for lunch! I'd recommend coming here for anyone craving genuine Japanese fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Kurumaya truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere felt like a cozy retreat.

The service was outstanding — our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent suggestions. If you're looking for an authentic experience, this is the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very impressed with my visit to Kurumaya! The place has a nice, cozy atmosphere that feels welcoming. I tried their ramen and it was full of flavor but could’ve used a little more spice for my taste. The miso soup is a must-try as it complemented the meal nicely. Our server was very polite and ensured our needs were met; however, the meal took longer than expected. Portions are generous, and I left feeling satisfied. Would recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kurumaya is a lovely local establishment where you can enjoy authentic and delicious Japanese dishes. The food is always fresh and beautifully presented. My only complaint would be the limited dessert options. I would have loved something more traditional. The service is usually very prompt and friendly, which enhances the experience. I'll definitely return to try their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" This Japanese restaurant has been a local favorite among my friends and me. We visited last weekend, and they exceeded our expectations. The katsu was crispy, and the curry was so flavorful. The atmosphere is comforting and laid-back, which fits perfectly for our relaxed lunch. I appreciated how generous their portions were, leaving us completely satisfied without breaking the bank. Excellent place for anyone craving Japanese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
