“Good sushi and good service.“

“While traveling, I stopped by KAZONE for a meal with friends. The atmosphere was classy and the staff were friendly, which was nice.
For the meal, I ordered pork cutlet, mixed buckwheat, and takoyaki, and I also ordered tteokbokki as a side menu. Everyone in my group enjoyed it and were satisfied. The pork cutlet was so meaty on the outside that it melted in your mouth. In particular, the tteokbokki was much more delicious than the tteokbokki I had eaten before. There was
I felt really good because I felt like I found a good restaurant during my trip. I would like to recommend kazone to those looking for a good restaurant.“

“Best Poke bowl I’ve had this side of Hawaii. It was delicious. Put Wasabiko on your must-do list!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience! The kimchi was a standout—my friend ranked it in her top 5 of all time. The staff were incredibly sweet and even brought her an extra serving. We tried a variety of sushi, and every piece was fresh and flavorful. The squid legs were especially impressive, perfectly cooked and tender, not chewy at all. Each meal also came with a small peanut salad and a comforting bowl of miso soup, which was a nice touch. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“Before trying this place, I must admit I was somewhat skeptical. However, upon trying their food, it greatly surpassed my expectations!
The restaurant is pleasant, clean, and simple, yet the flavors are tasteful! It has become my go-to place for Japanese rice bowls! Their tempura is truly exceptional!!“

“Lil Bowl has the best Thai food in all of Virginia! They also have sushi and other things! If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great people!“

“We love Passion Fin and highly recommend the restaurant.“

“My family has been going here for just about every person's Birthday plus a few other times for the last 25 years. So we eat here about 6-8 times a year. The food and sushi is AMAZING, sauces are incredible! At this point I get more excited about other people's birthdays then they do! 😆.

I don't quite understand some of the bad reviews I've read here. It's not an in and out real quick restaurant, and there's about 500,000 homes within 10 miles of this restaurant which is one of the most popular in Gainesville, so we simply avoid holidays as I'm sure service is a little slower.

Everything is good though! Salad, soup, nigiri, hibachi is my order of things!“

“the food is very yummy and it helps me to be healthy and i get to smile when i am in the restrauant“

“Great local spot to enjoy sushi and hibachi. I wanted to try something new, so the lovely waitress guided me through her favorites and I ordered the Redskin Roll and appetizer Edamame. Everything came out perfect and her recommendation was delicious. Will come again!“

“Absolutely loved the food! As a frequent customer of Beni*ana this place definitely contends with flavor, quality and especially price (more affordable). Staff is beyond helpful and friendly. Highly recommend Sumo if you’re looking for a semi healthy and delicious meal!“
