" Another night, another unforgettable meal at Sawa Sushi! I keep coming back for the fresh sashimi and interesting sauces. If you’re adventurous, this is the place to be. The only drawback was the price; while I understand it's high-end dining, sometimes it feels steep for what you receive. Still, the quality of food and personal touch from Chef Steve makes it worth it. Just be sure to make reservations ahead of time! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Sawa Sushi, I finally made it there and it lived up to the expectations. The food was extraordinarily fresh and offered a delightful flavor combination. I appreciated Chef Steve's attention to detail in each dish. My only complaint would be the price, which I felt was somewhat steep, but I suppose that's the price for premium quality. Definitely a place for sashimi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chef Steve delivers a unique experience with every dish. I thoroughly enjoyed the freshness of sashimi, and the sauces are like nothing I have tasted before. Every time I revisit, I feel like I’m discovering new flavors. The ambiance is low-key but warm, inviting you to simply enjoy the food and conversation. Reservations are a must, as the intimate seating is limited. I can’t wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Sawa Sushi based on the reviews but left feeling underwhelmed. The service was lacking, and while some dishes were good, others felt sloppy. I appreciate the freshness of the fish, but the sauces were overwhelming at times. The setting was pleasant, but it didn’t compensate for the overall service I received. I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment describes my visit to Sawa Sushi. While I know it's an omakase restaurant that offers a unique experience, the food was subpar for the price. Some dishes felt a bit too simplistic, lacking flavor or flair. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, perfect for conversation, but I expected more from the service. Additionally, after spending quite a bit, I was left wanting more satisfaction from the meal. I may give it another chance in the future, but I'm not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining journey! From the moment I entered Sawa Sushi, it felt like stepping into a hidden gem. Chef Steve's passion was contagious; his explanation of each dish made it all the more enjoyable. The freshness of the fish was unparalleled! Each piece of sashimi had its unique twist with sauces that complement rather than overtake. I left feeling satisfied yet excited to return. If you can handle the price tag, this is a must-try experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Sawa Sushi was nothing short of amazing! The dishes were incredibly fresh, showcasing the best of what Japanese cuisine has to offer. Chef Steve's attention to detail was evident in each plate, and I particularly enjoyed the unique sauces that complemented the fish beautifully. The ambiance was intimate and allowed for great conversations about the food and techniques used. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance! " (*Curated Review*)
