“The food was great but the service and atmosphere is seriously lacking. We went on Fridays nights at dinner time twice and they clearly are doing to much takeout business to care about their dinner in guests. I won't return for dine in unless it's to try the lunch specials.“
“I don't know what the bad reviews and low scores are because I've eaten there many times, and the food is tasty, the service is great, it's clean and has lovely decor and the prices are good. I will continue to go back time and time again. For someone who really looks at reviews and judges places by the scores, it's sad when a place that is great has such low scores.“
“This was an amazing Omasake experience in Lexington. Chef Mike prepares all of the sushi fresh in front of you. He is committed to pushing himself to create unique and different flavors. Definitely the best omakese we've had in the Boston area. Could not recommend more if you want great food with a relaxed, cozy atmosphere.“
“My dining experience at Fuji at Newton was nothing short of spectacular! Right from the moment we walked in, the ambiance set a high expectation with its sleek, modern decor that felt both inviting and upscale. The lighting and music were perfectly set to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both romantic dinners and family gatherings.The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that were spot on. It's rare to find a place where the staff is genuinely enthusiastic about their offerings, and this enthusiasm was infectious!Now, onto the star of the show - the food. Fuji at Newton offers an extensive menu that explores the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine with innovative twists that are both creative and delicious. We started with the Gyoza, which were perfectly pan-fried to a delightful crisp on the outside while remaining succulent on the inside. But the real game-changer was the sushi - each piece was a work of art, fresh and flavorful, with the sushi rice seasoned to perfection. The Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll were particularly memorable, each bite bursting with freshness and complex flavors that danced on the palate.“
“This is some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The fatty blue fin tuna is like wagyu of tuna (see picture). This type of cut is very rare.The place is not very big, with about 30 seats, so if it’s busy you may need to wait to be seated. Luckily the service is very fast and on-point. The chef (itamae) is super friendly and can create a-la-carte rolls.Super Fusion Sushi is now my favorite sushi place in the Boston area. Two thumbs up!!“
“First visit (solo), had the salmon combo with miso soup. Very good. Sat at the sushi bar. The hostess/ server was very pleasant but tried making small talk with the sushi chef - he was not so friendly but that's OK. The food was good and I will be back.“
“POSITIVE: Good hot and sour soup. Good lunch options (food quantity and price). NEGATIVE: 1 person took our order, another person delivered the food to our table. No one came to check if everything was ok, or offer water refill. Kung Pao chicken was more sweet than spicy. Would not order again. Crab rangoon was overcooked and hard to eat. Went during a Saturday lunchtime. Very few customers until close to end of lunch special time. On-street parking, so limited by time of day and other business customers on the same street. It's a little "hole in the wall" place; easy to miss. In all fairness, I would try it once more to see if other dishes are better.“
“Beautiful restaurant, terrific service, diverse menu. We were so excited to dine here for the first time on Easter Sunday and were very tempted by the ramen special! Entrees were high quality and generous portions; service was excellent and drinks made to perfection. We are already looking forward to our next visit!“
“Went there on Easter Sunday. We weren’t quite sure what to expect. We were greeted by a pleasant staff with multiple servers greeting us along the way. Overall definitely had a friendly feel. It’s a very nice place to eat not overly extravagant but on the upper end of nice. The food was excellent and service was fantastic. The staff seems to work as a great team. Overall there was nothing that came to mind that I felt needed to improve. 10/10.“
“Stopped by for the first time after work today to grab dinner. Definitely one of my new favorites. I got the omakase set and there were no frills or gimmicks, it was just fresh and delicious fish. I wanted to get just one ikura order as an extra, but was informed that I needed to order at least two pieces of the same sushi, so i opted not to, but when my plate came out, they added it anyways! The food was so good that I forgot to bring it up and thank them... hope they see this! ごちそうさまでした！“
“Each experience we've had here has been wonderful. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the quality of the ingredients is high. The staff are friendly, and we especially love that the owner always remembers us and offers us extra kimchi because she knows how much we love it. Wide ranging menu that offers great options for all, including our kids.“
“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“
“We celebrated my brother's 20th wedding anniversary here and were extremely satisfied with the food, service and ambience. The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes and was served with an assortment of banchan. A great evening with family.“
“Amazing sushi, wonderful atmosphere, and always a fantastic experience!Every time we come here it feels like visiting family - from the friendly welcome, to the drinks and soup, and incredible sushi.This is the most underrated sushi experience. I suspect the only reason this place is not always full is because it just opened up and most don't know about it. The sushi is better than the other 3 places in Arlington. The service is the best we've ever had. The fish is incredibly fresh.Everything from the sushi menu has been incredibly tasty. The Hako Tuna roll and the mango roll are two favorites from the specialty menu. In terms of nigiri, everything has been delicious and super fresh - we really enjoy the tuna and scallop nigiri. We come here about twice a week and recommend it very highly!Kid-friendliness: Wonderful experience with a child!“
“My husband and I go here often. Very affordable and everything is made fantastically. They're very accommodating as we have a small child, but they're always friendly and kind. Will definitely be back and we look forward to making this place a regular of ours.Update:It's been 8 years and this place still goes strong. They have been a regular favorite and even though we moved away, we still make the trip back just for Nobo's. They're worth it.Kid-friendliness: I've been taking my 8 year old to this place since before he was even 1. He's always been accommodated and treated well. He loves the tuna sushi roll and miso soup.“
“The sushi was delicious and they were very respectful of my food allergies. Not pictured but we also got the eel rice plate and the chicken udon, which we all enjoyed! Servings were very generous and all the employees were friendly and accommodating.“
“New Ginza is a true polished diamond, I have experienced few favorite-worthy restaurants like it.Menu items are delicious, from Chinese American and Japanese (gyoza, shumai) to the real gem dishes: the sushi. All of it. Everything is super clean and fresh, always, and beautifully done, with smoothly delivered service from every server.Go. Here.“
“My 8 and 10 year old and I LOVED eating in the restaurant and our whole family loves it as take out and delivery. In particular, my kids loved the ramen saying it's the best they've tasted. We all loved the sushi (SO fresh) and I particularly loved giving the Sushi Chef (who I hear is a master who would love to practice his craft creatively off menu when given the chance :) my loves, preferences and any dietary constraints and he just surprised us w/delicious stuff of his own creation. It's become our favorite!“
“Everything was very fresh. But I was extremely disappointed ? 1 - they didn't put spicy salmon in the bowl, only regular, 2 - there was no flavor on the side. There was no rush of the staff - there was only one customer in the cafe and there was only my order for takeaway. How can you forget two ingredients in one order - I sincerely don't understand. Because of this, the feeling from the whole dish remained sad. There was no time to go back when I discovered the flaws. That's the sad experience I had today. The staff was friendly. I have no complaints about that.“
“What can I say… we drive to this place from Cambridge and the service is just at the top! Those girl’s waiters are just fantastic. Efficient, kind and very very fast! The food is just amazing. They cook everything in a minutes. They truly respect your time and everything you ask for is right there with a smile and welcoming faces! Great family place! We love this place a lot!“
“Awesome local place. Consistently quick takeout. Or come sit at the bar for a drink and a Rangoon and a good time. One of the only lively places in Arlington ??♀️ They often have live music, and will let ya put whatever you want on the tv!“
“Great new restaurant - awesome for takeout or to eat in, it is a more upscale atmosphere with a good selection of beer, wine & sake. My husband loves sushi and I love Thai and this is the only place in town we’ve found that does both, and does it very well! Highly recommend.“
“Sushi was delicious, reasonably priced, and had a wonderful texture. I was very satisfied with all the house rolls that I tasted, and I could have easily had an entree-sized portion of duck horishi buns appetizer. Was my first experience and this place is very deserving of its good reviews.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kura revolving sushi restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding service provided by Niko and Christina. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable. Their knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on, and their genuine warmth and professionalism truly enhanced my overall experience. I highly recommend visiting Kura revolving sushi restaurant and giving a special shoutout to Niko and Christina for the great job they did!“
“This place was a hidden gem; even their entrance felt hidden. We came here after dinner to drink; we ordered three rounds. We tried Rio to Tokyo, San Juan to Hanoi, Lima to Dubai, Pennies del cielo, and Guavaleada. It was interesting that they mixed flavors from the departure city to the final destination into a drink. All drinks are presented beautifully, and you really can taste the alcohol. Since we both can't drink without snacks, even though we had dinner less than half an hour ago, we ordered the wagyu temaki, snow crab temaki, negi toro temaki, and yuzu rotate temaki. The quality of the ingredients was fresh, and there was not much rice. The menu is limited; don't come here if you expect a full meal unless you want to eat a poke bowl and/or are willing to pay a lot more just for small bites. I am willing to return if I am around the area for drinks and small bites.“
“I just moved to town and have eaten at maybe 5 or 6 places, and this place is far and away my favorite. Best pad thai I've ever had, drinks are really good and cheap, and the atmosphere, at least on a Tues night, is really nice and quiet.Also, I am not sure why it's listed as 30-50, I got a mixed drink, a sushi roll, and pad Thai for <30, and they brought out wonton for free.Really happy with my meal! I look forward to sharing this place with friends.Update: Still my favorite spot.Vegetarian options: Great vegi options.“
“From the delicious food to the friendly and attentive staff to the incredibly cool ambience, Karma is the place to dine at for a wonderful experience (especially if you have a gluten allergy like myself)! They have a completely separate gluten free menu and the staff are very knowledgeable of allergies. I ordered the spicy beef with a side of white rice and it vanished in no time at all! I can't wait to go back! 10/10 would recommend.“
“As someone who grew up eating a lot of sushi, this place is absolutely excellent. Not only the quality of their food but the kindness of their staff is beyond professional. I’ve come here a couple of times and each experience was consistent with my previous one. Highly recommend.“
“We love it here. The food is so authentic and spicy. It takes your tastebuds to a whole new place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It’s truly a gem here, and the authentic nature here makes you appreciate their culture. Also, the Mai Tai is wonderful and the price is reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. The restaurant is huge, and we only had to wait once on Chinese New Year. We get the Spicy Jumbo Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Picked Radish and the Smoked Pork with green pepper. You must give this place a try if you keep an open mind, and truly want authentic cuisine. It’s simply the best! Thank you.“
“The food here is very good, the food is made to order and the service is very good. I prefer a lighter hand with less salt and cornstarch but I understand that their typical clientele expects a more experienced style. I appreciate fresh vegetables and beautiful service. Good value lunch specials with the option to upsize for just a few dollars.“
“I was here for lunch with a friend and we had quite a bit of catching up to do. We never felt rushed at any point. We finally ordered and the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The lunch boat was incredible and almost too much for me! Everyone here is super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!“
“My favorite sushi spot in Oak Square. It's nothing crazy special tbh but it always just simply fresh and good. Best reliable, affordable sushi place. I like how they keep the salmon in a big piece in their spicy salmon rolls. And their rice is flavorful and just right. The black capillary is also a good specialty roll. They do cash deals. I wouldn't say I love their sides, so I recommend stick with sushi, edamame, and miso. Definitely not a sit down spot, get it to go.“
“Gen sushi is our go-to neighborhood sushi joint. They provide high quality sushi with notably larger pieces of fish than competing restaurants in the area. We particularly enjoy the way they prepare nigiri! They have friendly and welcoming staff and we appreciate their early opening time of 4 PM.“
“Very nice and good bartenders here. Had the mai tai and had to have another one. Bartender named Giselle is a pleasure to talk to. Enjoyed the sushi especially the newton roll. They name their rolls after the surrounding towns! Nice looking place for a date.“
“The place has more young college age people than I expect for a traditional Chinese restaurant. Interior design looks more like an American than an Asian restaurant. Food is good but pricy. I did like their river eel dish that is difficult to get from Asian restaurants, where I usually get sea eels. Overall the food is moderately spicy so most people that have tried Chinese spicy food will be able to enjoy.“
“We ordered mango curry. It was awesome. We ordered Tom Kay Gai It was awesome. The cashew chicken thing I didn’t love, but I think it was just my personal preference.The energy is really good in this place. And there’s lots of parking behind it.“
“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.“
“I had to come back and update my review -- Shine's has changed, and I think it's great. I hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but a few months ago my family decided to give it another try, and we've been back regularly ever since. The menu is almost completely different from what it was back in 2017: they are focused on authentic dishes, and doing it very well. I wish I'd come back sooner! The menu contains a lot of choices that aren't typical, but are very tasty. We particularly like the Rougamo sandwiches (listed on the menu as "burgers", but that's not exactly how I would describe them) and the "pancakes" (more like stuffed crepes, sort of), particularly the shredded potato pancakes. The soups are also excellent and unusual. And there are still areas of the menu we haven't explored at all. (I have no idea what "Toofy" is... guess I'll have to try it.) My only (minor) complaint is that you order at a kiosk (or online, for take-out) so you can't ask the waiter/waitress for any info/recommendations.“
“They have the best sushi I've ever eaten in any way in Massachusetts I have tried other locations and I'm actually not a big fan of seafood so I like the cooked sushi but I do love their shrimp tempura and they're Nagi Sushi is so good too. Oh you definitely got to try to Alligator sushi too I didn't know it was topped with you but for the first time I ate it it was really delicious. Like I said I'm not a type of person to really eat seafood and I love this place“
