" I was thoroughly impressed by Itoko! The atmosphere is chic and modern, which is enjoyable. The sushi was fresh and delicious but not completely authentic. I found some ingredients too Westernized for my taste, but the service was impeccable, making the experience much better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Itoko felt like a journey through Japanese cuisine with a modern twist. We enjoyed the diverse menu, and the colorful presentation of each dish impressed us. The highlight was the gyoza, which was the best I’ve had in ages! On the downside, I felt some dishes were a little pricey for the portion sizes. Definitely returning for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing place! The ambiance really sets the mood for a special dinner. Each dish we ordered was fresh and beautifully plated. The highlight was definitely the sashimi platter; the fish just melted in the mouth. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. It's a bit pricey, but completely worth it for a memorable night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic sushi place! I loved the creative cocktails they offer, too. Each drink paired beautifully with my meal. The spicy tuna rolls were excellent, and although I found some flavors a bit garish, the overall experience satisfied me greatly. Worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining here on a Saturday night was definitely a pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly, and our dessert was complimentary due to a small glitch with our orders. The sushi was fresh and delicious! I especially liked the spicy salmon roll. Would recommend for a nice date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the experience at Itoko! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. We were greeted by our server who was very knowledgeable and offered wonderful suggestions. The ramen we ordered was thoughtfully crafted, bursting with flavor, and the portions were plentiful! Can't wait to return for another round of deliciousness. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was delightful overall! We enjoyed the fusion aspect of the menu; it added a unique twist to classic dishes. The honey butter toast was a pleasant surprise, perfectly executed. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times when the restaurant was packed. Still, it was a lovely atmosphere, and I'm excited to try more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)
