“Here’s a polished review you can post:

Tried Pokeworks at Quincy Market in Boston and honestly wish I found this place sooner! The market itself was super crowded and a bit overstimulating on a Saturday night, and the location was slightly hard to find because it was packed with people — but that’s definitely more about Quincy Market being busy than the restaurant itself.

I did a collect order and highly recommend doing that because my food was ready straight away with no waiting around. The portions were EXTREMELY generous and definitely good value for money. I got the poke salad bowl with tuna and prawns and added literally every topping possible (which was great because there were so many included at no extra cost). Everything tasted fresh and filling, and I was seriously impressed by how much food I got.

Left feeling very full and very satisfied. Would absolutely go back again!“

“We came to Cactus Club Boston to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and had such a great time! The atmosphere was so fun and beautiful, the food was really good, and the drinks were amazing. Everything was perfect for a birthday celebration and we had such a fun night together. The staff was also so friendly and attentive. Definitely a great place for a celebration or a night out with friends!“

“Love it! Ingredients were fresh and the sushi rice was delicious! Will definitely return 😋“

“Fantastic experience celebrating my birthday with my boyfriend at Mai! All of our food was incredibly well executed. From the hand rolls to the Wagyu Tartare and Toro Tea Cup, you won’t be disappointed. Su also took great care of us and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“This mazesoba was the best meal my family and I had on our short trip to Massachusetts!! The bowls themselves were gorgeous, and the noodles were perfect to match. The decor of the restaurant is also very beautiful and inviting. The vegan mazesoba is amazing, a must try if you’re in the area and looking for a filling meal!“

“Friendly service with awesome sushi. Best around town.“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, food and service. Able to accommodate food restrictions. Highly recommended!“

“Best udon noodles ever 🥰 beef with kimchi nice and warm on a rainy day.“

“Great small plates, gyoza, soft shell crab, maki is excellent Mt Fuji a favorite. Delicious drinks, fried green tea ice cream hard to find in New England!“

“Mind-Blowing Culinary Experience at UNI Dining at UNI is nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Take's talent is truly remarkable, turning every dish into a masterpiece. The sashimi is unbelievably fresh, each slice practically melts in your mouth, showcasing the incredible quality and craftsmanship that UNI is known for. One of the standout dishes was the Foie Gras sushi with pop rocks and strawberry. The combination of flavors and textures was nothing short of genius—a perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and a playful pop that left me in awe. It’s a daring creation that speaks to Chef Take’s innovative spirit. My personal favorite, though, has to be the Toro topped with caviar. The buttery, luxurious texture of the Toro paired with the briny burst of caviar is an experience I won't soon forget. It's the kind of sushi that dreams are made of. The service at UNI is also top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like a VIP from start to finish. They are well-versed in the menu and make excellent recommendations, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless and memorable. UNI is, without a doubt, a dining destination that should be on every food lover’s bucket list. Chef Take’s talent shines through in every dish, making it an unforgettable experience.“

“I love how it looks very cozy and relaxed, and I usually walked past it but when I ordered food I was amazed! All the ingredients were fresh, the food tasted really good, and the employees were so kind! I love it there, its my favorite spot for sushi burritos.“

“Food was fantastic.

The reason I took off a star isn't a great reason because we didn't all for this up front, but they refused to give separate checks or split the check more than two ways (we asked for 3 since we couldn't get our own check), that was frustrating.“

“Great place to stop by. The staff are great and you can always find a food option that you'll like. If your just starting off, try the chicken katsu bento. You will have to wait for this meal, but its a great starting point. I find the meals are great to eat between work and school since I don't have much time to eat in most places.“

“The food is amazing and the service was outstanding. Very friendly and quick.“

“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“

“2 floors. Walking in from Temple Street you have the option to dine upstairs with a limited menu and cocktail forward experience while listening to vinyl. If Sushi is what you came for, you’ll be brought downstairs. Both spaces are narrow giving you an Intimate dining/cocktail experience. Nostalgia on the walls of retro music and items. My experience was downstairs where I ordered the 5 Kan Mori, Hamachi Maki, Negi Toro and I can’t remember the name but it had Mackerel that was torched. All of it was excellent. The Hamachi Maki and Negi Toro comes with wasabi and soy already added to the rolls, however I asked for extra wasabi based on preference. Worth the experience.“

“The best in Boston.“

“I came here to try their ramen noodle. We ordered their grilled zucchini and pork belly bao bun for starter. My colleague ordered their spicy beef noodle soup while I ordered their duck noodle soup. Our starters came within 10 mins despite they are busy. Kudos to them. Grilled zucchini was okay, lack of seasoning. Pork belly bao buns on the other hand are deliciously good!!!

Beef noodle soup broth is thick and rich, beef slices are tender and juicy. Duck noodle soup broth is light and bland. I will definitely stick for their sushi on my next visit.“

“We enjoyed 4 rolls we had here last night. We love sushi rolls, so we find a sushi place whenever we travel.
Rolls here are tasty- fresh ingredients, good flavor, good texture, and good looking. Rolls here have ideal rice to fish ratio- as little rice as possible, generously stuffed n topped.
Service was good- appropriately attentive and courteous.
Atmosphere is fine - cozy, low key, local hangout vibe.
We will be back next time we are in town.“

“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.“

“Very fresh ingredients. Grab and go sushi plus freshly made sushi. Crispy, refreshing Moshi sparkling Yuzu. Decent portion for a reasonable price. Friendly and accommodating staff. All utensils neatly provided. Outlets at tables for convenient phone/device charging. Plentiful poke bowls too. 10/10. Go there.“

“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.!!!!!“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“So excited I got to enjoy the Roasted Turkey Sandwich today! Love the T.V. show & cookbooks so this visit was a bucket list item.“

“This place was a great find. Coming right off of being back in Japan, so you could say my expectations were low. Zaku did not disappoint. While I would not place them in the authentic camp, their flavors are spot on and notably their grilled fish prep, especially the hamachi kama, was done perfectly and a great value. They have some yakitori selections that might be less popular with western tastes, but those items also hit strong. I needed some starch so gave the duck fried rice a try - which I would not associate with a Japanese style, but was delicious nonetheless. Service was outstanding, drinks were refreshing and I only wish i had two stomachs. Well done!“

“The place was very clean, the staff was very friendly, the food came out very quickly, and it was very delicious. Staff checked up on us frequently and gave us constant attention. Bathrooms were very clean. Regarding other reviews, their was no bugs seen or any pins found in the food, overall 9.5 experience.“

“Yum!! The sushi closest to the camera was the Southie , the back one is the coco salmon. Both delish but I think the Southie was the winner for me-

We also got the bim bam bop. It was so good I forgot to take a photo!

10/10“

“Love them. Highly recommend the spicy eel coconut maki.“

“Ordered teriyaki chicken, rice, edamame and spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The spring rolls were extra yummy. 😋“

“Went here on a Monday night when most other places were closed.

We got the thai pancakes and the thai garden salad for appetisers. Super pleased with them.

For entrees we got the tofu pad thai and chicken ginger make your own thing. Pad thai was great. Chicken was a little boring but cant complain because i ate everything and almost licked the plate (can we normalise that please).

Also! The host, Dit, was great, thank you for being so awesome“
