“Wow - didn’t even know about this place, but it’s going to the top of the rotation. Lower key than UMI or Brush, but the omakase was terrific and the service was exceptional at describing every course and going deep on the sake pairings. Very rarely this surprised.“

“The food is fabulous and highly recommend“

“We ate here after seeing Cirque du Soleil nearby with our two kids, 10 & 11. The restaurant was clean, and comfortably decorated. I wasn't worried too much about having what amounts to a grill in the middle of our table with the kids. It's obviously hot, but it's not like you'll lose a hand if you get too close here and there. Service was great. Our server was Yuki. He was very attentive, and explained how it worked, and answered any questions. When our food arrived, Yuki told us exactly what each item was, and exactly how long to cook it per side. Not a cheap place to go, especially with kids, but a nice treat after an otherwise fun-filled day with other new first experiences.“

“Best sushi I’ve ever eat. If you have not eaten there you need to go try it. The staff is wonderful. The owners are sweet.“

“I came to Shibuya with my wife. She saw it on tic tok and wanted to give it a try. We had the Shibuya Classic Ramen bowl along with sweet tea. The atmosphere is great, inviting intimate setting, great service, fire sound track. The food comes out fast too. I highly recommend give this place a try if your into ramen.“

“Simply worth the drive and money. Since Covid my husband and I eat out very selectively. Most of the time restaurants are overcharging, understaffed, unclean and service is less than standard. They look at you crazy if you ask for hot food and clean utensils. Well at The Bowl all is well! The service is top notch from placing your order to the moment you leave. The food is savory, clean, made to order with perfection! I highly recommend this restaurant anytime of the day.“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Wasn’t able to take a picture of the tonkotsu ramen and tonkatsu set because I got too excited to eat it! Would definitely come back ❤️“

“Best sushi we have eaten and the presentation was amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“The service was 2nd to none! So attentive, kind, and sincere. That paired with the incredible food and ambiance you can see why they are who they are. Mujo, thank you for making my girl's birthday so special and giving us a core life memory with your food and kindness🥂❤️“

“Japanese Sushi Menu with a creative flare!“

“Always amazing food and service!! It's definitely my go-to sushi spot, everytime! I love the complimentary dessert they serve at the end as well, its just icing on the cake!! xoxoxo“

“Had an amazing 34th birthday. First experience for my entire party and Josh was the best server ever! Bartender made I believe a blueberry pomegranate Hennessy sidecar OMG!! 10/10 for EVERYTHING! Shout out to Josh again. We will be back and definitely requesting him!“

“I will ALWAYS recommend You Food Sushi & Hibachi to those in search of authentic Japanese food that has been perfectly crafted every single time I’ve placed an order. As a customer for over 6 years, from the warm atmosphere to the quality cuisine, you truly can expect excellent services every time.“

“So glad I finally had a chance to try Koshu Club! Beautiful space, delicious cocktails & food. Everyone there was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Favorites were the white rabbit cocktail, otoro aburi, potato mochi, and coconut ice cream, but definitely will be back to try more!“

“We love this place and have been going for years. The atmosphere is great, food is excellent, and we are always served with a smile. My daughter believes this place has the BEST sushi around. They treat regulars like family and really take care of you. Highly recommend!“

“Umi was such a great experience! The food was fresh and delicious, the service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing. Everything came out perfectly and we really enjoyed our time here. Definitely a place I would visit again and recommend to other.“

“I had an excellent experience at Sayo. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and overall quality of the restaurant. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail, and the service was professional and courteous throughout the entire visit.

It’s clear that Sayo takes pride in both the quality of their food and the experience they provide to their guests. I truly enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend Sayo to anyone looking for a great sushi restaurant with excellent food, service, and atmosphere. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“Great food, great experience. Job was awesome great service“

“This is my second time ordering from Bachi Box. The first time was a personal order and I got the streak, chicken and shrimp hibachi. Even though I ordered through Uber eats my food still arrived hot and delicious. Because of my great personal experience I decided for our office tailgate that I would have Bachi Box catered. Marco and his team went above and beyond to provide us with a great experience. This time we ordered the noodles with chicken and veggies, crab ragoons, sugar donuts and wings (lemon pepper, mala, and mild). Everything we ordered was 10/10. Our team’s favorites were the lemon pepper wings and the sugar donuts.

My only personal add would be for them to add a sweet and sour dipping sauce for the crab ragoons. And a more savory yum yum sauce instead of the sweeter yum yum sauce.Overall I can be a very picky eater and place a lot of value if the quality and taste of food. So if you are someone like me wondering if you are going to get your bang for your buck you most definitely will!!!“

“it is hard to find Sushi places with Uni and Toro on the menu. it is expensive but worth it! I am a huge fan!“

“Best chicken I ever had. The service was fantastic and every dish was delicious. The desserts were amazing.“

“I gave this place 5 stars because it's usually excellent, and I've consistently had positive experiences here. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because the new young woman working the front desk on 8/3 wasn't very welcoming. She spoke very little, didn't greet or engage with customers, and mostly just stared, which came across as unfriendly. I hope this was just an off day, because the rest of the staff and my experiences here have always been great.“

“Avenue Kitchen & Cocktail was great. The service was top tier we did not have to wait long for our food and drinks. The atmosphere was chill and laid back. The belly dance cute touch. Their menu is reasonable and the food was tasty. Its a great spot for date night or even chilling with the girls.“

“This is some of the tastiest food I’ve had. It never disappoints. In fact, it gets better every time I go in! Plus the team is so warm and kind. They remember their customers and really make my family feel welcome. Highly recommended. Favorites include the crispy rice, the curry, and anything with tuna.“

“Not only does the place smell so good inside… food is hot crisp and delicious!“

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

“Amazing sushi! I was nearby for a conference and discovered this place at the food hall in Colony Square. I wasn’t incredibly hungry and ordered the Sashimi sampler and miso soup. Both great! The sashimi sampler is a great choice when you can’t decide between which fish to order. My go-tos are yellowtail and tuna but man, the salmon was delicious and better than most places I’ve ordered salmon from. All the fish I had was super fresh! The staff was super friendly! Highly recommend this place!“

“I love dinning at this restaurant, always a great place to get delicious food with friends and family. Mrs. Chen always makes me feel like a king.“

“I've been going here for over 20 years. The food is always very fresh, delicious, and the presentation is outstanding. The service is friendly and always super attentive! Huge variety on their menu - plenty for the non-sushi lover too. But come for the special rolls...they are some of the most creative you'll see anywhere!“

“We have enjoyed dining at Nagoya for at least 30 years ( including the former location) and highly recommend it. Among our favorites are the Ebi Ebi roll and Spider roll.“

“I had a great experience at Circle Poke. The ingredients were fresh, the bowl was full of flavor, and there were plenty of toppings to choose from. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the service was quick. It's a great place for a fresh and healthy meal, and I'll definitely be back.“

“I'm in a nursing home and once a month we coordinate a big takeout order with various places. We have used Okinawa Austell 3 times now, and everytime, without fail, they have given us delicious perfection! And their lunch prices are extremely affordable, even for us! We average 30 to 35 orders each time! Everything is always packaged so we can identify each order easily, and there have been ZERO mistakes or complaints. Zero complaints! Chase is always spectacular with his customer service and attention to detail. I wish i could remember the names of the other people whom ive interacted with. They were just as pleasant and helpful. I cant say enough about how much we love Okinawa Austell! Their Dallas Hwy location is also a gem. My sister and I used to go there at least once a month. It was our favorite sushi spot! It appears that Okinawa provides excellence no matter which location you go to! I would give more stars if I could!“

“The food was amazing, and as someone with texture issues the texture was great! So was the customer service, they were very nice, and welcoming. The food is very fresh when you get it to, so you won't have to worry about it being cold. Overall, I definitely will revisit and I think if you like the kind of food they sell it's an AMAZING place to eat at!“

“Had a little mix-up with my drive-thru order, but the Paris team handled it amazingly! They were super apologetic, quickly remade the food, and even gave me a voucher without me asking. Everyone makes mistakes, what really matters is how you handle them, and this team handled it with professionalism and kindness. You can tell there’s strong leadership behind the scenes. Great customer service goes a long way. Thank you!“

“Outstanding food and service. The sushi was very good and arrived quickly. Highly recommend!“
