Food tastes good. Expensive given the small portion. Only 2-4 tables of guests during the lunch time. Slow serving.

Our server was Joe, he has crazy good menu knowledge and was all-around fantastic, helped us figure out the perfect order for our table. Dudes a gem. AGM Kelly is also a delightful human. You're doing great. ?

Not sure if we came on an off day (busy day because of the game), but the okonomiyaki and the mushroom yakisoba were really disappointing :(. Okonomiyaki was really salty and for the mushroom yakisoba the mushrooms were overcooked and the noodles were undercooked. Also, the noodles were very greasy...

Multiple times eating here. Usually perfect but must have been a new server. Never saw her , had to wave napkins to get her attention. Probably added 30 min to our stay at different times just trying to get her attention and presence. Food and ambience great. But for the prices want it all to be great

THE BEST SUSHI IVE EVER HAD! The mushroom tempura rolls are absolutely insane, if you're a veg lover this place is a must. Brussels were also among the best ever had. Lovely fresh Saporro, fun Tiki glasses, great decor and set up, speedy service. If you're in the Fenway area this is a must do

We were a party of 8 and the experience was amazing! Joe our waiter was so fun! He made the experience special for (Gina's) birthday and interacted with each of us including remembering all of our names. He made us all laugh and made the meal experience extra special. Thanks Joe! The food was just as amazing. We had several dishes and they were all great! Especially the fried chicken and brussel sprouts. We will be back!
The atmosphere and the service here is amazing! If you’re looking for a place to get drinks and a bite to eat I think this easily would be 5/5 stars. My partner and I went here to try something new for dinner- we aren’t huge drinkers so this wasn’t a focal point for us. I got the wagyu burger and it was a little too well done for my liking and he got the curry which was delicious but the chicken was also a little dry. We got the milk bread which was good but the butter they give you is like a fish butter and we also got a Japanese Krokke which was not as crispy as I thought it would be. I wish I could give half stars as the menu is on the smaller side and I think the food is alright for what it is. I think it’s main attraction is likely it’s drinks.They did give us a dessert for my partners birthday which was pretty good.

It's a good hotel for the hospital when they need to put nurses and patients I mean visitors to stay close by.

“I recently celebrated my birthday at Hojoko, and I can’t speak highly enough about the fantastic experience. The managers and owner went above and beyond to accommodate our group, even with short notice. They ensured we had the perfect seating and atmosphere for our celebration. The attention to detail and exceptional.Our waiter Joe truly made the evening memorable and amazing! He even was able to memorize 18 names in my party! The food and drinks were outstanding. I highly recommend Hojoko for any special occasion or casual dining experience. Thank you to the team for making my birthday unforgettable!”

This place was like the “funk of forty thousand years”. We were given a bottle of water with large plastic tumblers. When I went to drink from the cup, it smelled was rank and it wasn't the water, rather the cup smelled funky. My friends and I had cocktails which were just okay. One friend ordered a Mai Tai which had so much crushed ice it looked like a slushy. My drink had egg whites in it but rather than a light foam it was thick, creamy and too sweet and the cocktail underneath this thick cloud wasn't that good. We shared the roasted Brussels Sprouts which were good. One friend had to return the “Funky Chicken” bowl because the smell was so off putting she couldn't eat it. We thought it was just a cute play on words but apparently the generous use of fish sauce was where the funk was coming from. Some may like that but it's not for everyone. The chef was gracious enough to replace her dish with a different dish. I had the spicy bowl with chicken and ground pork. The boiled egg in it looked like it had seen better days so I fished it out. In fairness, the service was good and our waiter was patient but could have been more attentive as there was only about two other tables occupied. Now let's get to the real funk: going downstairs to use the restroom was absolutely sickening. The black vinly flooring down there is so sticky and disgusting to walk on as was the ladies' room floor. Overall the restaurant did not seem clean. By 4pm when we were leaving, the bar was filling up and gave the impression this was more a place to drink than to dine. Never again! I disinfected my shoes when I got home.

Well, I wish I could give an honest review of the food and drinks at this place. But I didn’t get that far.I came in (no one at the hostess stand) no biggie went to the bar and made an attempt at eye contact with the bartender who had a very “ upset” or annoyed look on her face but I assumed it wasn’t me. Sat down she poured water, made no eye contact or convo or acknowledgment at all. Again, no biggie, I waited another 5-8 mins ish with no hi, how are you, anything to drink, any questions, nothing and no eye contact at all. She walked by finally ( mind you I had about 3 empty seats next to me in both directions and it was a slow Tuesday evening…… she made eye contact and said “ I’ll be with you soon” with a very mean tone and facial expression at me ( it was uncomfortable) so much so the lady next to me gave me a look and said “ yeah this is how she has been”.I got up and left. Not worth it to HOPE a person earning a wage will possibly warm up and feeling intimidated to ask if I can buy food and drinks. It was 3 obvious strikes of her lack of basic kindness and done.This is probably NOT the only time she has done this and you have lost quiet customers to a terrible customer service rep ( anyone can pour drinks) it is about the warmth and kindness.On the positive note the staff at Citizen Public House were warm and friendly. Win win!
