" My experience was mixed. The sake selection was amazing but the food was a hit or miss. I expected authentic Japanese and some dishes felt like they were lacking depth. Service was friendly but slow during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice experience overall, though the service could be improved. The food was great, authentic, but the wait was too long for each dish to arrive. Would still recommend for the food quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations but was slightly let down. The portion sizes are on the smaller side for the price and I expected more creativity in some of the dishes. That said, the taste was still good and the dishes were fresh! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
