" My experience at Uoko was quite mixed. While the sushi was indeed fresh, the wait for a table was longer than expected, and when we finally got seated, the service felt rushed. I loved the salmon roll but was disappointed by the small portions, especially for the price. The ambiance was casual, but I didn't fully enjoy my meal because I felt hurried. It's a decent spot if you're in the mood for sushi, but I would suggest going during off-peak hours for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually prefer bigger portions, but I appreciated the variety offered here at Uoko. I was able to sample several different types of sushi without feeling stuffed. Their seasonal offerings are delightful, and it shows their commitment to authenticity. I did wish for a bit more attention from the staff, as we had to flag them down for some refills. Overall, a fulfilling dining experience that I would recommend and return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Uoko! It's my go-to spot whenever I'm craving sushi. The freshness of the fish is outstanding, and I genuinely appreciate the attention to detail. The chefs here know their craft. The prices are reasonable for such high-quality sushi. I’ve brought friends here, and they all keep coming back too! If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly feel Uoko is one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area. Their sushi is top-notch! I attended with a group of friends, and we ordered an assortment of rolls and nigiri. Each piece was crafted beautifully and tasted as if it had just been pulled from the ocean. The prices are surprisingly reasonable given the high quality. The only downside was the wait time; it tends to get quite busy, so I recommend making reservations if you can. Overall, it's a fantastic spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Uoko Sushi for the first time last week, and I was blown away by the authenticity of the sushi. The chef was from Osaka, and he made the experience even more enjoyable with his stories about each dish. The nigiri was fresh, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend the sweet shrimp - it was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was cozy, and I felt like I was dining in a small izakaya in Japan. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I pop into Uoko every so often, and it never fails to impress. The sushi is consistently excellent, and a great selection means I can always find something new to try. I typically sit at the sushi bar to watch the chefs at work, and it adds to the overall experience. Once, I tried the chef's special which was out of this world! I also appreciate that they offer seasonal ingredients, which keeps the menu interesting. This restaurant is truly a hidden treasure in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi at Uoko is some of the best I've had outside of Japan. It was so fresh that it practically melted in my mouth! They have a great variety of options, and the prices struck me as quite reasonable for the quality provided. My main complaint would be the service; although the staff was friendly, they seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. I recommend going in during lunchtime to experience the best service and enjoy their lunch special. " (*Curated Review*)
