Lots of great options for appetizers, sushi and sake. Nice ambiance too- underrated spot in Fenway

We've been going to basho for 10 years now, and I'm sorry to say I think this will be our last time. The restaurant was fairly busy when we get there but that's no explanation of why it took us over an hour and 15 minutes to get our food despite asking several times after our order.

Great lunch spot! The food was amazing! We enjoyed a variety appetizers, sushi, and a flavorful hot stone pot (highly recommend) and finished with some delicious dessert. Everything was fresh, well prepared and full of flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Parking: Street parking available and 3 public parking garages in the area.

Our group had a lunch together. Near the end of the lunch, I ordered one takeout and paid separately. When I got the receipt, I found that I was charged “large party gratuity (18%)”. I pointed out the mistake because it was a takeout order and just one. The waiter then gave me a new receipt, but I found that the top was the price with “large party gratuity” removed, but at the bottom total price, it was still included. I questioned this, then he went to print out another receipt with the right price. However, when I checked my credit card payment and found that I was still charged the 18% extra cost. I am very disappointed at the dishonest attitude. It’s okay to make a mistake accidentally, but it’s not acceptable to purposely cheat customers.

This was our first time back at Basho in quite a while, and it's every bit as good as we remember it. The shumai, sushi, and chirashi bowl were excellent, with the fish fresh, flavorful, and attractively presented. We'll be back again soon. We were there on New Years Eve, a surprisingly un-busy night for them. But we remember the restaurant as being fairly quiet even with more customers...unusual and welcome these days. A nice touch: almost everything on the menu is illustrated with a photograph.

It is a good choice for before MGM concert! 175 for five people which these days isn't bad. I'm impressed with the ultra clean rest rooms. Says a lot.
