" Seeing the reviews, I was eager to try this spot, but I walked away a bit let down. While the sushi had potential, some rolls were oily and the roll options felt limited. It may depend on your timing, but I would consider giving it another shot another day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited so long to try Sushi Capitol! The omakase experience was truly amazing. Each piece of sushi was perfectly crafted and tasted incredibly fresh. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot for a date night. The chef really knows his stuff and the staff were super friendly. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sushi Capitol offers a lovely selection of traditional sushi, which is hard to come by these days. I tried their salmon nigiri, and it was melt-in-your-mouth good! I found the place a bit small, so make a reservation if you can. The only downside was that our server seemed a little rushed, but overall it was a delightful experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent experience but not amazing. The rolls I ordered, while decent, felt a bit standard. I was expecting something more unique based on the reviews. It was still good sushi, but nothing that stood out in terms of flavor or presentation. Service was attentive but not overly friendly. I'd give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience. My boyfriend and I ordered the omakase, and while the first few pieces were excellent, the later portions felt rushed, and some fish lacked the freshness we expected. Not sure if we caught them on an off day, but I was hoping for a more consistent experience. Service was okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a hidden gem in the city! Sushi Capitol is small but mighty. Their fish selection is fantastic, and you can tell they care about quality. I opted for the chef's special and wasn't disappointed. The vibe was casual, and I would highly recommend this place for a laid-back sushi night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for the omakase and was impressed with the variety and quality of fish. The experience felt authentic; it reminded me of traditional sushi experiences I’ve had in Japan. Although the space is small, it was cozy and very conducive to enjoying the meal. Would definitely recommend. " (*Curated Review*)
