CATEGORY	RATING (OUT OF 30)	COMMENTS/REVIEW	OTHER/NOTES
FOOD	27	The sushi at Kushiyu is incredible. Everything tastes fresh and the creative sushi pairings, such as the Chilean Sea Bass rolls are extremely satisfying. Kushiyu is a very traditionally Japanese restaurant, and you're given wet towels before eating your meal as you would in a true Japanese setting. The food also highlights this desire to seem truly Japanese, as it in no way seems processed.
DÉCOR	18	The decor of Kushiyu is fine, but very standard, and also very boring. The tables are regular and wooden, there are a few paintings on the walls, but those are also not overly extravagant, and though they're colorful, they don't do that much for the setting of the restaurant.
SERVICE	25	The service is wonderful, the servers are constantly walking around, the food arrives fast, and your water glass will almost always be full. The staff is friendly, and though service isn't something to be constantly raving about, there's nothing to complain about.
COST	24	Sushi is generally expensive, but compared to other high-end sushi restaurants, Kushiyu is not as expensive, and is worth the price. While it is not a place that one would attend if trying to save money, it is worth the price, though you could also easily walk out spending a pretty penny.
