" Our experience at Zu Izakaya was quite pleasant! The sushi rolls were delicious and beautifully presented. We also enjoyed a delightful coconut curry hotpot. The ambiance was relaxed, but service had some hiccups. A nice place for a casual dinner with friends — we'll return for the great sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful time at Zu Izakaya last weekend! We ordered a variety of rolls, including the crunchy salmon and angry caterpillar. The flavor profiles were well-balanced and exquisite. The service was a little slower during peak hours but nothing that wasn’t manageable. Overall, very satisfied and we shall return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience at Zu Izakaya! Tried their happy hour and sampled various sushi rolls. The spicy tuna roll was a standout! Drinks were well-priced but the service lagged a bit. I appreciated the cozy ambiance; it was just perfect for hanging out with friends. I will definitely make it a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a place that serves authentic Asian dishes, look no further than Zu Izakaya. The gyoza and tempura were out of this world! I was a bit disappointed with the service as we had to wait longer than expected for our food, but the flavors made up for it. There’s a happy hour, so the prices were reasonable. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Zu Izakaya the other day for their sushi and I wasn't disappointed. The rolls were fresh, and the variety offered was impressive. However, I did wish the miso soup was served hot. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, making it a great place to unwind after a long day. I'd recommend checking it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Zu Izakaya with a craving for sushi and hot pot. The gyoza was a great start! The sushi was fresh, but I've had better elsewhere. The atmosphere is vibrant, making it an enjoyable dining experience. Service was decent but could be faster. I didn't leave disappointed, just with a desire to try more of the menu.
