“Great cocktails and sushi. Chef was very interactive with the sushi bar of 10 people. Less expensive than some other omakase places we've been to in the city but left very satisfied.”
“Sushi Lab was really overrated imo—it gives me Tiktok influencer vibes.”
“SUSHI LAB SUCKS i would never recommend going there ever, they're just about aesthetics and looking cute for instagram, brings in the idiots that don't know about real sushi and give it rave reviews, the one and only time i went was cause my dummy cousin said she liked it, and during dinner she says "oh i remember now, i didnt like it, i just thought its cute" such a waste of time and money”
