38 Best Sushi Bars in Boston

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!“

“This spot offers a truly unique and delicious food concept, with everything made fresh and packed with flavor. We’ve already been twice, despite living over 30 minutes away! The food is undeniably top-tier—worthy of a high-end dining experience—yet it’s served in a casual diner setting, which creates a bit of a contrast. The space is bright but lacks an atmosphere that matches the excitement of the cuisine. Additionally, they don’t have a liquor license, so no sake pairings, which feels like a missed opportunity. Overall, the food is a solid 10, while the rest is a 7 or 8—not because anything is wrong, but simply because it doesn’t quite align with the quality of the dishes. Definitely worth the trip for the food alone!“

“I visited Oishii with a small work group for a holiday celebration and we had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent—very attentive, made thoughtful recommendations, quick to refill water glasses, etc. and the food was delicious. I specifically enjoyed the Crispy Vegetable Dumplings, and the Shrimp Explosion and Japanese Yam Tempura Speciality Maki. We were far too full for dessert but decided to “just take a look”…and of course had to try a couple. The green tea layered cake (cannot remember the exact name) was absolutely delicious—would highly recommend! All in all a great meal. Quite expensive overall, so will make it an only-for-special-occasions restaurant, but would return (and likely order a similar slate of entrees).“

“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.“

“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“

“Best authentic Sushi I had in the US! They brought Sushi chefs from Japan! 🇯🇵“

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

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

“Nice and chill environment.“

“Food was solid high quality sushi with creative preparation and freshness. Menu can be overwhelming so I’d advise having a look before you go there. Our server was lively and informative. Prices are generally high but acceptable for the occasional visit or event. The decor was modern and comfortable.

Parking: We lucked out finding parking a few blocks away but it would have taken a while had we not happen upon the space. Make sure you leave enough time to park.

Kid-friendliness: Perfectly acceptable for kids as it’s not a quiet environment, but you probably wouldn’t want to as it is upscale and everyone is seated.“

“As good as it gets for sushi around Boston. Super fresh, good amount of options but not overwhelming. Poke bowls are awesome as well. Any time I pick it up directly the staff are super nice and helpful as well. If you’re looking for top-quality sushi, without paying downtown prices, order it here.“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

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

“What might one expect from a a subterranean sushi den featuring the all-star Kenta Katagai? Nothing but the best, of course! Chef Katagai belongs to an inner circle of the world's grand masters, channelling all his passion and expertise into his sushi, shaping each and every piece to perfection in view of diners. The decor and service, just like the meal, elevate the silence and purity of the materials used.
ありがとう - arigatō.“

“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“

“Moko is my go-to sushi spot in Boston. The staff are absolutely incredible, Mai and Lucky are the absolute best, so welcoming and are so fun to chat with. The sushi is always so fresh, and they have some really creative rolls - the Southie roll and Wild Fire roll are my favorites! This is honestly one of my favorite places to go for dinner, 10/10 recommend!“

Vegetarian options: Super nice

Dietary restrictions: Absolutely wonderful

Parking: Perfect“

“Beautifully plated and always delicious. The staff is phenomenal and caring and attentive and the owner is a wonderful man. Always goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, excellent food, unique drink menu, fabulous music, great vibes“

“Great service and excellent/affordable food. Try the miso soup (I added tofu), the chicken basil fried rice, the veggie spring rolls, and the red/massaman curries. We have visited here a few times now and it definitely won't be the last. Cheap drinks available too!“

“On our Wednesday Night Culinary 🧑‍🍳 Travels we ended up in Roslindale Village at The Village Sushi & Grill🥢. We sat outside on the Patio and were Greeted by our Waitress who was Welcoming and Helpful with Menu choices.

Everything was 😋 Delicious and Tasty. 😋 The Drinks were Ice Cold 🍷🍻. The Service was Excellent 👍.
Highly Recommend Village Sushi & Grill . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I enjoyed everything I had here. Only thing mid was the pork katsu. Kaarage chicken, takoyaki and sweet potato tempura were hits, along with the mango cake.

Service was great--attentive and friendly.

I'd go back.“

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

“The greatest sushi in Boston hands down. I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for years, and no matter how many new sushi restaurants I try, I always wind up back at Symphony Sushi. Highest marks. Highest possible recommendation.“

“Ask for Oscar for your server! His enthusiasm and personality definitely showed that he loves his job! The food was unlike anything we have had before and the cocktails are mixed to perfection!“

“Mamosan is a chain restaurant by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto and this one is the only proper restaurant in North Station’s Hub Hall.
We went right after a Celtics game finished, so it was very crowded but the service was quick and attentive.

We tried the Pork Gyoza, Spicy Wontons, Spicy Tonkotsu and Spicy Dan Dan noodles. The Pork Gyoza came with sizzling hot oil, but was otherwise unremarkable. The spicy chickens wontons were very bland and the oil made them feel too greasy. Both appetizers were a let down.

The Tonkotsu ramen was quite tasty. The noodles were cooked well and the broth was properly seasoned and did not feel too salty or heavy. Our issue was the kakuni braised pork belly, which was rather bland and either very chewy or too fatty. It was not the best ramen we have had, but still very good.

The spicy Dan Dan noodles were also very tasty and probably seasoned. The noodles were perfectly cooked but we had the same issues with the kakuni braised pork belly as in the Tankotsu ramen.

Parking: The restaurant is located on North Station / TD Garden so there is a parking garage, but I would not recommend driving here just to eat.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor with no obstructions for wheelchairs.“

“This is my go to for quick lunch with a friend or a solo sushi trip. Service is fast, food is fresh and the lunch pricing is literally unbelievable. Sushi for 2 with appetizers and drinks under $60??? Hell yeah. The store is always clean and the staff has been friendly every time I’ve gone.

Vegetarian options: They have an entire Vegetarian platter and tons of options!“

“It's almost the only Mazesoba restaurant in downtown Boston, and the rolls and Mazesoba are delicious!! However, the inside of the store is small and there is a long line on weekend evenings, so you have to wait outside and it is very cold in the winter.“

“The best in Boston.“

“Recently changed owners hence the name change from Sushi Time to Umami Sushi. My go to was the Spicy Salmon Don from Sushi Time at an incredibly affordable price. To my surprise, I learned that Sushi Time has changed to Umami Sushi and the price had gone significantly up! I tried my go to meal anyways, but unfortunately did not taste the same. :( Friendly workers though. Maybe I'll try something else but I miss Sushi Time!“

“I really enjoy dining at Yamato II and usually get the All You Can Eat Sushi. You get appetizers and desert included with this option. The menu is more than sufficient and the food is always fresh and the service is quick. All sushi is made after you order. Great place for a date or to sit at the bar and enjoy a nice drink with sushi.“

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

“If you’re looking for the ultimate sashimi experience, this place is pure perfection. Every slice of sashimi is unbelievably fresh, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that showcases the highest quality seafood. The presentation is like a work of art—each piece carefully arranged to highlight its natural beauty. From buttery otoro to delicately sweet scallops, every bite is an explosion of pure umami.

Beyond the food, the service is on another level. Attentive yet unobtrusive, the staff anticipates your needs before you even ask. They explain each dish with expertise and serve with grace, making you feel like a VIP from start to finish. The ambiance is nothing short of luxurious—elegant decor, soft lighting, and a sophisticated atmosphere that elevates the entire dining experience.

If you want world-class sashimi with five-star service in an ultra-luxurious setting, this is the place to be. A true masterpiece of Japanese culinary excellence!“

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

“An amazing sushi restaurant with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a wide variety of options. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the service is quick and efficient. Every time I dine here, it’s a fantastic experience. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful, and the flavors are consistently outstanding. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi or is looking for a great dining experience!“
