“Food was really delicious and the service was so kind! The crab rangoons were so good and I get their eel maki everytime. The rice is never dry and the portions will fill you up! The owners are a lovely and sweet immigrant family and they’ll pay lots of attention to you. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is perfect.“

“We live in Winchester, and we have ordered takeout at Umi Sushi twice now. The sushi, the entire order has been extremely fresh, well-packaged, and just delicious. Umi Sushi will be our 'go-to' going forward. The staff are all friendly and responsive. It's a home run for people who love fresh sushi and a local setting.“

“Started going to toraya when it was smaller. I would not say I know much about Japanese food, but I can say this is the restaurant I go to.

Fish are fresh.
Service is friendly and knowledgeable
Price is great
Presentation is pleasing

I know it is not easy to get a table even on weekdays. But it is worth it.

Parking: Typical Mass Ave Street parking expectation. If you don't mind 5min walk. You can find a spot“

“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.“

“Good options for meat, fish and veggies“

“The food is fresh and sooo yummy, just incredible! New favorite lunch spot! Definitely recommend!“

“A gem! The owners were very friendly and attentive. The sushi was amazing! It was nice to just hang out at the sushi bar and enjoy a lovely dinner and share it with a friendly & thoughtful staff.“

“Delicious food and clean environment and friendly people here“

“We really enjoyed our time at Nobo! We were out shopping up in NH and wanted to stop en route home (Cambridge, MA). I looked online and found Nobo. We sat at the bar and chatted with the owner and asked him to surprise us with some rolls - he did not disappoint! We also met his wife; they are both very kind and run a good establishment. I never thought I’d say “hey honey, let’s drive up to Chelmsford for sushi” but I’m pretty sure I’ll be saying that again soon. We plan to come back and support this nice restaurant with kind owners, good food, good service, lovely atmosphere.“

“We been here so many times and we really enjoyed the food specially sushi ? is excellent The staff and the service is great! Great atmosphere, great people, excellent Live Music some nights. It’s welcoming to all ages, including families. It has couched and an art room to self entertain younger people! The fish is so so fresh - great sushi chefs from Japan, a great long bar. Hats off to Yen and to Debra the Bartender, two of our favorite staff members! Awesome drinks and appetizers and entrees too! Go try Hanami!! Five BIG Stars all around!“

“Great food, great staff and great atmosphere!“

“Decent sushi for a takeout place, considering the low prices. I tried the spider maki and the scorpion maki. The fried crab in the spider maki was not crispy at all, but the scorpion maki was very good. The ginger on the side was also good.Good and fast service. My order was ready within 10 minutes. I made a mistake ordering online and somehow ordered an extra of a roll. I called within a minute and there was no trouble getting it changed to a different roll and paying the difference in person (in cash).There is another takeout place just a block away that has similar prices, with some things better and some things worse. I would try this place again.“

“Absolutely amazing place!!! Been at least 6 times and it’s ALWAYS consistently amazing! The food is great. The staff is awesome, quick, and kind. Definitely great spot for sushi and a drink! Could not say better about this place! Try it out!!!“

“Everything fresh, delicious, and artfully presented by the husband and wife team who run the place all by themselves.“

“Great sushi, particularly liked the Around the World roll if you’re in to salmon tempura.“

“Excellent Poke bowls. Lots of options to choose from including diced mango and avocado is included! Great addition to the Burlington food scene.“

“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely loved the vibes in here. They have so many different options for skewers like chicken, pork, belly and eel. All the skewers were juicy and tender. They also have delicious choices for traditional Japanese apps, ramen, and sushi. I loved everything I tried esp the skewers, sushi rolls, and sashimi 😍 They are also right in Arsenal Yards so it is convenient“

“Hands down THE MOST creative omakase I've ever been to. The chef literally takes imported fresh, authentic fish from Japan and pushes the boundaries with them in unthinkable yet genius ways.

Every piece he delivers is a masterpiece. He brilliantly hits different ratios of sweet/savory and intentionally incorporates variety in texture in literally everything he serves up. This man can COOK.

I would like to add that I have never been a fan of uni, but the chef changed my mind on that real quick. That's crazy. It was actually one of my favorite pieces from the whole set.

I would also like to add that one of the courses was a plate of multiple slices of perfectly cooked, geniusly assembled wagyu. That blew my mind. It was the best form of wagyu I've ever had, and I was so glad we got a small plate of it instead of one slice. Each piece assimilated into my tongue and gave me a sample of heaven. Praise the Lord for that.

The meal tastefully ended with two dessert courses. Bravo. I love dessert. Both of them went NUTS. Both were the best desserts I've ever had at any omakase, but I personally loved the second to last the most. Think of like a rice crispy, but give it an Asian twist, then level it up and evolve it all the way like your favorite Pokémon. Seriously, I wish I had an elf in my brain taking notes on each dish for me because they were so unique that I couldn't even comprehend how to describe the flavors more concretely right now.

The establishment was clean, simple, yet very homey —like if you had an uncle who turned his kitchen into an omakase joint. The chef was so very kind and sweet. He was great at making conversation and making you feel seen on a more personal level, which is way more than I can say for most places. Mind you, although it was a 6 seater, he was still a one man team —and he executed everything perfectly in a timely manner amidst the friendly convo. Just impressive. A gem among gems and a MUST try. Please, somebody just give this man some Michelin stars already.“

“Good for friends get together. Be sure to get there early - no reservations and always a line“

“As always an excellent meal! Mike makes great sushi, and kitchen chefs do great things as well. Its one of our regular places.“

“Hands down, cheapest, highest quality stuff you'll find in the Watertown area, The owner Yoshi is so nice, he literally just handed me an extra piece of fish he was working on one night. Not sure if I came in at the end of the day, or because I spent X amount, but he straight up just gifted me this chunk of Tuna. Amazing owners, I will continue going back as long as I live in Boston.“

“Fusion Taste is a great spot to enjoy solid Chinese food, a huge sushi bar, or grab a drink at the full bar. There’s table service and the bar can provide beer, wine, and a variety of Asian cocktails or traditional cocktails. You will not be disappointed. I would recommend a visit or even takeout!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of dishes can be prepared meatless

Parking: There’s a small lot right out front. Inexpensive paid parking but free at night and on Sunday.

Kid-friendliness: Hugh chairs available. Plenty of options for a young one.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entry. Door is not electronic but swings open with a flat entrance to get in.“

“the food is always amazing they'll cook just about whatever you ask for at Costco but you really get what you pay for here. I've taken a handful of people here who would probably say the same thing! not to mention the staff is super friendly and if they're not too busy they'll hold a conversation with you.“

“Fresh, clean and authentic. Incredible menu. You won't be disappointed.“

“Just ordered luncheons Sushi fresh and delicious with a generous amount of sushi, miso soup and a salad. Also got luncheon with chow Mein came with wonton soup and crab Rangoon. Veggies were crunchy and light, fried rice was fresh. Good value and considerately packaged. Very fresh. Highly recommend this place.“

“I picked up the Sushi & Special Roll Large Party tray today that I ordered a few days ago. I had this for lunch while visiting my friend's house. As soon as they saw this party tray, they cheered a lot. It looks so delicious! and so great! Today my friend, his family and all of my family had a great time with this party tray and ate well and ate a lot. I'm strongly recommending this party plates.“

“I truly loved this place, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, helpful with suggestions on making food choices, all food was prepared and served with the freshest ingredients, hot, large portions, spicy pickled radish, pork fried rice and Happy family, strongly suggested, drinks were made with fresh juice, not syrupy, a big plus, you gotta try this place, I will definitely be back with more friends, ♥️♥️“
