" I had high hopes for Mola based on friends' recommendations, and I was not disappointed. The sushi was incredibly fresh, one of the best I've had outside of Japan! I ordered the blue crab roll, which was delectable and well-balanced. The tempura was crispy, and the bao buns melted in my mouth. The atmosphere felt vibrant and lively, though a bit crowded on a Friday night. Service was prompt, but I wish our server had more time to explain the specials. Overall, I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
