" Izakaya Amu was a a dining revelation! The miso soup tasted homemade, which is a rarity even in supposed authentic joints. The ambiance set the perfect mood for a cozy dinner. My only disappointment was that I couldn’t try more dishes. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply amazing! My boyfriend and I had the chef's special omakase, and every dish was surprisingly good. The quality was top-notch. It did take a while for our food to arrive, but everything was so delicious that we didn’t mind the wait. The prices reflected the quality we received. " (*Curated Review*)
