Great dining experience! Delicious sushi... so many to choose from. We tried the " Tasty", "The crunchy", "The Basho" Fabulous server, Joseph was attentive and friendly. Gave us good food recommendations. We were celebrating my niece's birthday and Joseph made sure my niece's drink was always filled, brought her a surprise birthday dessert. Ambiance super cool, great music playlist. The host, Madeline was very nice, sat us on a very nice table, nice view and came by a couple times to make sure we were having a nice xperience. They also validate parking... that's a nice perk in Fenway area. I will definetely go back!

The atmosphere is really casual. Which isn't a bad thing. The food really shines, everything came out great. Prices on point for Boston. Service wasn't bad, but inattentive and confused. Seemed like there were 3 different servers taking our orders so no one person was responsible for our table. Overall worth checking out in the back bay

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!

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.
