" Once you walk through the door, you can feel that authentic vibe. The handmade sushi was delightful, especially the otoro I ordered. Very fresh seafood with nicely balanced flavors. The only downside is that it tends to get crowded, so prepare for a wait, but so worth it. Bring your appetite! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Waraku was average at best. While the quality of the fish was good, I found the prices to be on the higher side for the portions served. Service could have been more attentive as well; it took a while to receive our drinks. While I may return, it won't be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high expectations based on reviews but came away a bit disappointed. While the cuisine is genuinely Japanese, I found the curry to be overly salty compared to what I've had in Japan. Service was good and attentive, but I think I would prefer to try their sushi offerings next time. Still, glad I gave it a shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food, but they shuffled us in and out during our visit. It created a somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere. I get that it gets busy, but a little more care would go a long way. Sushi was wonderful though; super fresh and authentic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Waraku recently and was blown away by the amazing sushi! The freshness of the fish is unparalleled, and the atmosphere is cozy yet lively. The salmon sashimi was a highlight and melted in my mouth. Service was friendly, though we had to wait a bit for our drinks. All in all, a fantastic dining experience and I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely time at Waraku, but I must say, I expected more for the price. The fish was fresh and well-prepared, but portions seemed smaller than I remember from previous visits. Service was decent, though the restaurant was quite busy. Would recommend it for a special occasion but be prepared for potentially smaller servings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Waraku turned out to be as good as I had hoped! The freshness of the fish and the unique dishes are a big plus. However, be prepared for small portion sizes relative to the price. But honestly, the flavors make up for that. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
