" I recently discovered Japan Express and I loved it! The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were spot on. However, I found the sushi a bit lacking in creativity compared to other places. Still, a great spot for a quick meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food, not the best service. I ordered a teriyaki bowl, expecting a fulfilling meal, but the wait was longer than anticipated, and the staff seemed rushed. Once I received the food, though, it was delicious, so I guess there’s that! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for sushi lovers! I tried the Philly roll and was blown away by how fresh everything tasted. Still, the tables were a bit cramped and made it hard to enjoy the meal fully. That being said, the food quality shines through the discomfort! " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality has significantly dropped in the last few visits. The teriyaki chicken was dry and bland last time and left a bad aftertaste. It's unfortunate because I used to really enjoy their food. I hope they get back to what they were before! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Japan Express after hearing great things, and I have to say—it’s true! The sushi and rolls tasted incredibly fresh. I particularly loved the dragon roll, which had just the right amount of spice. One downside is that the dining area is small, so expect a bit of a wait during peak hours. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! I ordered the spicy tuna roll and it was one of the best rolls I’ve ever had! Super fresh ingredients make all the difference. The atmosphere felt authentic too, which really added to the dining experience. I ended the meal with a delicious matcha dessert as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a regular at Japan Express for years. Their chicken katsu is massive and tastes fantastic! It brings back memories of my time in Japan. Although the service can sometimes be a bit slow during peak hours, the food quality keeps me coming back. Just remember to check their hours—I've been caught off-guard a few times when they close early! " (*Curated Review*)
