“We got the salmon cups, which was very hearty and yummy! We also got the Botan Ebi Ikura and the Miso Butter Cod and another handroll which I forgot but all were so fresh and delicious in their own ways. We did have to wait 20 minutes to be seated since it is a small space, but it was totally worth it!“
“This high-end sushi restaurant offers exceptionally fresh fish and top-notch service. Our party of six opted for the family-style dining experience, and we were all delighted by the incredible dishes served. Each dish was truly amazing, showcasing the chef's skill and the quality of the ingredients.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with outstanding sushi.“
“The truffle Mac and cheese and No 9 Truffle salt ramen were delicious! I ordered these online to be delivered to my hotel room and it came right to my door and in sustainable mostly paper packaging (no styrofoam!). Would eat here again!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Vegan“
“Do not be alarmed by the fact that one must walk through another noisy and Hawaiian-themed restaurant to get to this sushi restaurant. Once the food is served, you will immediately forget the weird entrance. Every piece is creative and superbly seasoned. Perfection from beginning to end!!! The Japanese rice is just the right softness. The fish is cut to the right size and thickness. This is definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in Boston! What a pleasant surprise!!! Highly recommend!!!!!Minor note to chefs - if you could play some nice jazz music, it would make the meal even more pleasant and authentic. Right now the pop music does not go with the high quality sushis.“
“We made reservations online for the Omaska. It was $300 which broke down to $120 per person with tip and tax. The tables were perfectly space out. They gave us a 2 hour limit which was enough time for the 12 course Omaska. Presentation on everything was amazing. Each course was fresh and delicious in their own way. It was hard to hear the man over his mask so I couldn't get any names. We had uni, tuna belly, scallops, and more. All the Courses were small but packed with favor. You can take there was attention to detail in the ingredients and presentation. Definitely, worth the money was a special event like a birthday. Would definitely come back“
“Hands down the best sushi in Boston! UNI has quickly earned its place as my go-to for celebratory dinners with my partner. Fantastic place to impress a date or family with a cool and fun atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming service ties this delicious experience together. We can't wait to go back!“
“Overall loved the sushi, the wait staff, and the experience. It was a little darker than what I would have wanting in terms of lighting. But other than that would book again for sure. The sushi was so good. And our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable.“
“I highly recommend the salmon dumpling, the first bite was really amazed. There were only 3 dumplings, and, my friend and I were two people. But the waiter was kind enough to give one more, just so we could share it evenly. The sea urchin soba noodles and oysters were really great as appetizers.“
“Man the food here was amazing I love the Thai spicy MazeSoba. The texture of the noodles were perfect and the sauce was so flavorful. The hamachi sushi roll was also a must and was delicious. At the end of your bowl you get a bowl of rice to finish your sauce. The service was great the waiters were attentive and friendly. Inside was very beautiful the art was cool and I love the colors of the restaurant. The noodles were a bit pricey but it was worth it.“
“Last weekend, my partner and I decided to explore the much-raved-about Fuji at Ink Block in Boston's vibrant South End. Let me just say, the experience was nothing short of spectacular, surpassing our expectations in every possible way.We started with the Edamame Truffle Dumplings, which were absolutely divine, offering a burst of flavors that left us eagerly anticipating what was to come. For our main course, we opted for the Chef's Selection Sushi and the Black Cod Miso. Each sushi piece was a work of art, fresh and full of flavor, demonstrating the chef's skill and attention to detail. The Black Cod Miso was simply sublime, with the fish perfectly cooked, flaky, and infused with a delicate balance of sweetness and umami.“
“Deluxe Sashimi Platter ⭐️ It was great! It's really fresh and there are a lot of varieties, except for the sea urchin, which is a bit fishy Octopus Carpaccio ⭐️ The seasoning is very refreshing and the octopus is very chewy, I love it Torched Japanese Scallop ⭐️ It was very light, I couldn't really taste the seasoning, but it was very tender Unagi Don ⭐️ A friend ordered this. Gyu Don + Onsen Egg ⭐️ The beef is very juicy and the onsen egg is very flavorful“
“I recommend everything about Shore Leave. We came here on Tuesday during a work trip and had the best night of the whole trip. Food was great, drinks were great, and the staff was amazing. The atmosphere was so fun (there’s a disco ball!) and very welcoming of all customers. We ended up staying out til midnight singing karaoke and for many of our group that was their first time ever singing karaoke in our group. 10/10, 5 stars.“
“The food was excellent so I'd give 5 stars just for that but they went above and beyond to cater to our kids food allergies, which is always difficult when you are traveling and have to eat out.The lady then took time to speak with our boys, ask them they're name and wrote it out in Thai on a piece of paper for them to take home as well as teach them how to pronounce it. Our boys were super happy.I would 100% return.Dietary restrictions: Allergies“
“Very traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine served in a classic traditional setting. Most importantly the raw fish was extremely fresh and authentically sourced and prepared. They’d a raw octopus appetizer which was delicate and delicious, the sweet shrimp was super sweet, and the baby yellowtail was like butter. The uni from Maine was more like sweet Japanese uni and better tasting than San Diego uni. The hamachi kama was a treat and huge. This is as good as best sushi in Tokyo and very fresh and authentic, yet unbeatable prices especially for Boston.“
“If you're seeking an authentic sushi experience in South Boston, Sushi Moka is unparalleled. Beyond its fresh offerings, what sets it apart is the personal touch. Every visit feels like a reunion; the staff not only remembers your face but also your favorite dishes. This level of recognition and attention to detail makes dining here truly memorable and authentic.“
“writing from my hotel bed in a food coma right now. need to digest. i had shishito peppers, sashimi, house salad, miso soup - all were made gluten free. i was a little nervous reading the reviews but honestly i had no issue with gluten free availability. they were able to make some specialty roles gluten free but i stuck to the traditional maki and nigiri. we also got some tuna on fire and oh my it was like melt in your mouth salty and good. can't forget the bananas fosters. was also to be made gluten free. waiter was extremely attentive and helpful!“
“I love and adore this place. Yes, it's very much a hole in the wall, and yes it really doesn't have much seating. You'll probably have a better experience here if you order for takeout as most people do.But the sushi here is legit. And the prices really cannot be beat. I'm forever a loyal customer if they keep these prices.“
“Great place! Had a meeting at Milk Street Cafe and had no idea it was a Kosher restaurant, and was pleasantly surprised. They have multiple kitchens so you can have both meat or dairy. The salads and soups are great. Great option for easy lunch in this neighborhood.“
“Great place! Very clean & the staff is very friendly! The sushi is absolutely delicious! I got the beef bento box... Is was delicious & a great deal.. large portion! I also got the volcano roll! It was delicious! I will definitely be going back! Very humble people! Please give them a try!“
“I really fell in love with the sushi bomb roll. I ordered it from DoorDash with some vegetables rolls & both were great. It was my first time trying sushi as well from an actual restaurant so it was very Good to me. The sushi was 15 dollars & the rolls were 5 dollars in my opinion it was totally worth it. I’m going to bring my family there one of these days to try out other stuff they have.“
“We had our anniversary dinner here as it was one of our first date spot dinner places as the restaurant opened in 2019. The experience and food did not disappoint.We had the signature omasake, with some cocktails. Each plate was prepared with care and attention and we loved every single bite.Thank you all for the service!“
“Just had a fantastic dinner at Ruka.. our first visit! Our server, Mike, was outstanding! Funny & made excellent recommendations! We (2 people) shared the crispy rock shrimp sushi, tuna poke, lomi lomi sushi, seared bok choy, and wagyu steak. For dessert we had the fried dough! Holy cow, everything was amazing!!! I look forward to coming to Ruka again!“
“Only place I go for take out!Fresh, well packaged and consistently great.I am a very picky eater and modify everything, EVERY TIME they make sure I get what I need. Any issues from reviews I see are from Uber eats and recommend ordering online and picking up in store.They’re always busy so give yourself a little extra time, with the understanding they are a small staff making everything in house!“
“Stopped here for an early dinner while picking my brother up from Boston(4/9). This is the type of place I tend to enjoy. Casual spot, quick service and affordable food. Mostly students when we went.I had the chicken donburi while my brother had the poke and sushi. The chicken donburi was crispy and delicious. Lightly fried and not too greasy. Teriyaki sauce was sweet and not too overpowering. My brother enjoyed his poke and sushi as well but said the poke was just alright for the price. Nothing special.If you’re looking for a quick bite that won’t break the bank, this is a good spot. Will have to try the sushi burrito if I ever come back here.“
“Absolutely my favorite place around here for chicken teriyaki or sushi! Really hits the spot for fresh salmon sashimi and chicken teriyaki sauce is delicious. The bubble tea is great here too. Very fresh and everything tastes great every time I come! Only suggestion is to add more tables inside so people can sit and eat!“
“I have eaten at Crudo many times now and every time I go it is an incredible experience! They have amazing cocktails and high-quality food that is so good every time. I definitely recommend checking out this cute restaurant in the North End!“
“Standard Japanese restaurant for you to stop by. The vibe was not very "Japanese", but could get away in the Asian theme in general. They offer variety of dishes that you would find from a Japanese restaurant, curry, noodles, katsu, sushi, sashimi, nigiri etc.The sushi/sashimi plate I ordered was ok. Some of the served fish were in room temperature leaning toward the warmer side, which is a bit unsatisfied, however, their textures and freshness were good, no bad smell or squishy texture.Rice was reasonably seasoned to what you expected.The price was a bit high in my opinion (~$35 net per plate), but not too high that you cant bring friends over.The restroom was clean.The waiter/waitress were very active. Small note: they took my plate and cheque my table right away when I put down my chopsticks, even though no line or anything (I was the only customer at the time) I was genuinely going to get a dessert, but maybe for another time :)“
“I went with a group of people on St. Patrick's Day, of all days, in Boston, (the fact that it was St. Patrick's Day was an unfortunate coincidence) but it wasn't too crazy! The food was amazing, the udon bowls were gigantic, and my sushi was so fresh and flavorful! In spite of it being a very busy night, the service was quick, efficient, and friendly! Four stars for the atmosphere because it was pretty loud, but considering the circumstances I'm sure that at other times it is a lot more chill. I want to go back, downstairs there is all-you-can-eat hot pot, it smelled so good!!!Highly, highly recommend this place!“
“Came here recommended by a friend. The place was not crowded around lunchtime on the weekend so we got seated right away. The foie gras and wagyu beef tartare were tasty but the sizes were too tiny for each piece. Korokke was freshly made and very crunchy.However, the uni fried rice was quite disappointing. The uni from the dish had a strong raw taste that didn’t taste fresh.Overall, the ambiance was not bad and service was quite efficient. It’s a nice place for small groups of people.“
“Nice atmosphere. Great customer service. Good fresh authentic Thai food. Will definitely go back again.Parking: This area is scarce when it comes to parking. Alot of the spaces are residential parking only in this areso you either get lucky and find a spot. Take public transportation or order the take out.“
“Absolutely delicious sushi. Super well put together. I did order from a delivery service, and they did a decent job with a timely delivery. But the quality of the sushi I received was top notch. The spicy salmon roll was just the right amount of spice and not drowning in sauce. The nigiri was meaty and super soft. I will actually go to this restaurant next time I’m in the city… instead of delivery. A+ on food quality!!!“
“Visited on NYE before the foreworks and this place provided a great opportunity to rest before the main event. However, what surprised me was how good the Shrimp noodle tasted, probably the best I ever had and I had to order again, forcing my friends to order round two too ?. Definitely recommend the shrimps.“
“I LOVE SYMPHONY SUSHI. This is one of my go to spots to eat at and bring family/friends to. The food is always 10/10 and super reliable. The waiters are so nice and attentive. They also recognize their regular costumers. The space is very nice and they are always playing nice music. Even when they are busy the wait time is not long because they are very efficient.“
“The kitchen is large, the staff is friendly, and the sushi is delicious.There are about 6 tables, but there are a lot of people going to go, and the turnover is quick, so you can eat fresh food.I ordered the Chef special and the lunch box, both were delicious and the eel in the lunch box was really delicious.I will definitely come back next time I come to Boston.“
“A Boston restaurant with a delicious selection of sushi and desserts. The varied menu, including both entrees and desserts, provides a wonderful dining experience. The outdoor seating was pleasant, and every dish we tried was delicious. The food was fresh, well-made, and perfect for photos. Overall, LoLa 42 provides great food, great service, and a great time.Full Review:My experience at LoLa 42 in Boston was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the stage for a fantastic dining experience. We opted for outdoor seating, which offered a lovely view and added to the overall atmosphere.The menu at LoLa 42 is quite diverse, offering a range of options from sushi to desserts. We started with a selection of sushi rolls, and each one was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and we found ourselves ordering more after finishing our initial selection.In addition to the sushi, we also tried some of the desserts, which were equally impressive. The variety of options made it difficult to choose, but we finally settled on a few items, and they did not disappoint. Each dessert was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked.The service at LoLa 42 was top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The food was served in reasonable time, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu and able to provide helpful recommendations.LoLa 42 is a restaurant that, while pricey, is still excellent. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was lovely. I would highly recommend LoLa 42 to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Boston.“
“Ever since I got unadon (eel on rice) from a Japanese fast food joint at Narita Airport, I've been chasing the legendary eel-induced high from that day. I'm not looking for much, just a solid eel bowl that reminds me of the cheapest food money can buy you in Japan. It makes me sad that Boston's Japanese restaurants have been bested on the eel front by a Yoshinoya bowl that cost me like $3. But no longer!Sushi Time has an unadon that tastes just like how I remember it from Japan, if not a tiny bit less hot (I'm okay if my tongue is not burned to an authentic Japanese standard). They go heavy with the teriyaki sauce, and it soaks into the rice just right. The eel pieces aren't as big as Yoshinoya (they're sushi-sized), but they taste great and I haven't found a restaurant in Boston which serves large eel pieces, so I won't complain.Now that I am done professing my love for eel... the rest of the restaurant. It's take-out only, and they finish orders pretty quickly. The menu is big, so sometimes ordering can be a bit confusing, but the cashiers are very friendly. Warm dishes are still warm when they come out, which is a big win for Sushi Time. The food is way better than I expected for a food court, and the prices are fantastic. They close at 5pm though, which is an absolute shame!For the price point, large menu, convenience, and excellent food quality (I have had worse sushi at twice the cost), I give 5 stars. It's not gourmet by any means, but Sushi Time will not let you down. Godspeed, Sushi Time.“
“Came here to try the new bubble tea line. The new favors were brown sugar, ube milk, Thai milk and matcha milk . We also grabbed the Fenway special and spicy Hawaiian. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The drinks were all Delicious. They came with matcha boba balls and brown sugar boba balls. My favorite definitely the ube milk. The Fenway Special was so spectacular. All the ingredients just went well together. The spicy mayo was definitely clutch on it. The spicy Hawaiian was a well balance of flavors and textures. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny for the quality. Definitely, will be back to get my poke bowl fix.“
“Basho is an incredible restaurant. The black cod is the best I’ve had and I have been around the world twice. I love your soup. The miso ramen is incredible the right amount of tofu spice and noodle makes it so delectable anything that ails you it will cure. The shrimp fried rice had nearly a dozen large shrimp in it the taste was sublime and full of vegetable, completely disheveled for easy consumption.. the pork Gyoza was just a vine, and the sauce that came with it was not salty, but added just the right amount of zippy flavor. Their cocktails are amazing and go without saying that they’re inventive and delicious as well as refreshing and light……. As always, I would will return to Basho even after these five years, it is one of the best restaurants in the fenway, and it is a must visit.!!!!!“
“North End Fish and Sushi is the best sushi in all of Boston. NEFS has average appetizers, we got the gyoza. As for the entree you can’t find better. The Massachusetts Roll is the meaning of this great state. It has cooked Salmon and avocado on it. There is always a dollop of salmon on the side which is a nice little treat. Now talking raw sushi I highly recommend the Tuna with Avocado and Cucumber. It is hands down the best Tuna roll (so I’ve been told). Lastly if you are a vegan the sweet potato roll is so good. Usually they get a little soggy but these stayed impact.If you are in Boston and looking for great Sushi come take a look at this hole in the wall (literally a hold underground). You won’t be disappointed with this 4.6 out of 5 spot #massrollrocks“
“came here on a sunday evening with some friends. the restaurant seemed very empty and the workers greeted us with a bright smile when we walked in. i don't know why this place is empty! their sushi was fantastic. so fresh and delicious. i love salmon and theirs melted in my mouth with every bite. just delicious. miso soup was great too, perfect for cold weather. yummy takoyaki as well. will come here again.“
“We came here for garden Patio Opening. The staff was friendly and helpful. We got the Lychee Sangria and ginger Lemonade. They both were favor and refreshing. We ordered the Cheesesteak Dumpling, KBBQ Quesadilla, and KBBQ Galbi. Love the fusion of favors . The Quesadilla was tasty twist to a classical item. The Dumplings were pack with favor in a bite size piece. My favorite has to be the Galbi it was smokey, tender and juicy. Definitely will be back“
“Some of the best sushi we’ve ever had in our lives, and top of that it’s great value! The service was super fast, and the view of the top floor is quite nice. The alligator roll and the spicy king crab roll were the absolute best! Will certainly go again!“
“The menu at Fuji at HSP is a testament to the art of Asian cuisine, offering a wide range of options from sushi rolls to heartier entrees. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and it was clear that a great deal of care and expertise went into the preparation of each dish.A highlight of my meal was the sushi selection. Each piece was a work of art, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were balanced to perfection. The Dragon Roll and the Toro Nigiri were particularly memorable for their melt-in-your-mouth texture and depth of flavor.“
“I stopped by on a Wednesday night intending to dine in but they were only taking carry out, which was unfortunate and disappointing considering I had to watch people dine-in as I was waiting for my order. I ordered a salmon roll, a yellowtail roll, and a few pieces of nigiri with a miso soup. I had to eat my food on the steps of a closed business down the street because I had flown into Boston from out of town and there was no place for me to take my food to eat. The food was delicious and fresh. The sushi rice was sooo good. I would definitely become a regular if I lived nearby.“
“We first went on a Tuesday night and it was excellent. We came back on a Saturday with more family and it was so loud it was uncomfortable and we didn't stay as long. We won't come back on a weekend, but during the week, it is excellent.All of the food was great.Vegetarian options: I'm pescetarian, so it's easier to find things than true vegetarians, but there are plenty of veggie items as well.Parking: They were filming across the street, so some of the parking spaces were taken, but we parked a couple blocks away on the street. Paid parking until 8 pm and then free after that.Kid-friendliness: Our kids love sushi and fit right in.“
“Fun restaurants on the border between Chinatown and downtown with a huge variety of hotpot offerings, different broths and other menu items for those that don’t want to engage in the messy fun. The service is great and super helpful especially for first timers. While the broths are great, overall the food is okay and will not blow your mind. The menu is a bit chaotic and it can be challenging to pick the right amounts and types of meat to use for the hotpot. I would probably try out different , smaller places going forward“
