" Came here for a date night and was blown away by the quality of the sushi. The presentation was beautiful, and each piece was packed with flavor. However, the wait was quite long, which took away a bit from the experience. Service was friendly, but they seemed a bit understaffed when we arrived. Overall, a lovely place that I would recommend but be prepared for a wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" We came here for lunch during the weekend. The place was bustling with great energy. I had the sushi burrito, and it was incredible! I'd never had anything like it. The fish was fresh, and the blend of flavors was perfect. Service was quick, and the team was friendly. A unique twist on sushi that I will definitely crave again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not bad, but I found the sushi to be overpriced for what it was. It tasted alright but definitely not the best I've had. The ambiance felt a bit lacking, though the staff was friendly enough. I think there are better options nearby for sushi lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great spot to enjoy sushi! Their rolls were delicious, and I appreciated the diverse menu. I would have loved to have more dessert options, though. The ambiance was cozy, although the tables were a bit close together. I'd definitely return for the sushi, but I hope to see a larger variety on the dessert menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Beautiful small sushi restaurant! My friends took me here for my birthday. We ordered several rolls and shared everything. The flavors were amazing and the presentation was beautiful. My favorite was the dragon roll. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality sushi in a relaxed atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s a reason why this place has such high ratings. The sushi is phenomenal, the service was attentive, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu. It’s now officially added to my sushi rotation! " (*Curated Review*)
