" After hearing great things about Yen, I decided to give it a shot. The sushi was fresh and the selection was adequate. However, my unagi wasn’t as tender as I expected, and it could have had more flavor. The service was friendly yet a bit slow; it took a while for us to get checked on after our order. I might come back but for different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wandered into Yen Sushi one night, blown away by the delicious aroma! Their tempura rolls were good, though the sushi left something to be desired. The atmosphere felt a bit cramped for my liking, and the service was decent but not especially noteworthy. I enjoyed my time, but I might check out other sushi spots in the area next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Yen and was surprised by how good the bento box was! It came with an ample amount of food, including tempura, which was light and crispy. The sushi was very good, although the roll I had could have been a bit tighter. The staff were polite but could have been quicker on refills. Overall, it’s a solid place to satisfy sushi cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" While Yen Sushi has its strong points - the freshness of the fish is undeniable - I found the service lacking during my last visit. We had to wait quite a bit for our order, and when it arrived, my roll was already falling apart. The food is tasty, but the lack of attention was disappointing. I might return, but only if I’m in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Yen Sushi! It’s a hidden gem. I had their unagi roll and tempura; both were excellent. The portion sizes were satisfying and well priced. The decor gives you a traditional feel, while the service is attentive but not overwhelming. I’ll definitely return for dinner soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re ever in the mood for sushi, I highly recommend Yen Sushi! I tried their specialty rolls, and while they were a bit on the pricier side, the quality made it worthwhile. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for both family and casual dining. One drawback was the wait time, but it’s to be expected for such a popular spot. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty average experience at Yen Sushi. The food was fine but not extraordinary, and I was a little let down by the service, which felt a bit chaotic. There were times when I felt like I waited too long for just drinks. It’s a cute restaurant, but I think I was expecting more based on the reviews. Not sure if I will return unless it’s more convenient. " (*Curated Review*)
