32 Best Sushi Bars in Boston

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

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.“

“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!“

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

“Nice and chill environment.“

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

“Cozy spot and can have a long wait time, but it’s well worth it. Miso butter cod was one of the best things I’ve had in the city. Service was good, waiter explained everything and answered any questions we had. Definitely a spot I would return to Boston for.“

“Sleek ambience, fresh and creative dishes and attentive service make it perfect for a special night out. Must visit for sushi lovers!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The “cactus” (made of beef) burger was easily one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also enjoyed the scallop / shrimp ceviche, though on the smaller side it still satisfied and has a delicious citrusy aftertaste. Drinks were amazing and served by the friendliest bartender, Miranda. Boston sorely needed a spot like this and at 500 Boylston it’s helping bring back the area. Can’t wait to visit again and try the remaining menu items. Great upscale atmosphere.“

“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.“

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

“This place doesn’t get enough play, (selfishly) I’m ok with that. I don’t need Mai to get busier than it already is.

Drinks are awesome. Food is unreal. Service is top notch…never a bad time/meal.

The host/hostess, bartenders, runners, and everyone here are the best. Ashley is THE best. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“The best in Boston.“

“Decent sushi option in Downtown.

First tried this place years ago through a catered event, and the sushi quality back then was pretty underwhelming, so I never felt the need to return. Recently, while looking for a quick takeout option around Downtown Crossing, I decided to give it another shot.

As a rule of thumb, for spots that focus heavily on takeout and delivery, I stick to maki rolls rather than nigiri. This time, I ordered the Black Pearl Boy roll and the Crazy Tuna maki, and both were solid. Not on par with some of the more popular sushi spots, but fresh enough and well-balanced.

The vibe was also cozier than I expected. Booth seating and counter spots, with Ghibli music playing in the background, gave it a relaxed feel. If you’re looking for a casual sushi dinner downtown without high expectations, this works.“

“Amazing time celebrating a birthday, the staff were all so kind and welcoming, wrote a little happy birthday note, gave us a “birthday cake” of tuna on rice, and made our experience a great one! The fish is the best I’ve had in Boston and I will 100% be coming back - the prices really aren’t bad for the quality of fish you’re getting and if you space it out and listen to recommendations of your server you will leave full and happy! The only thing to note is downstairs it was very very quiet which I think is a nice ambiance for the sushi bar but also could hear other peoples conversations, so maybe turning the music up a little bit downstairs! Could’ve been because it was a Tuesday night and more of a chill vibe though. Overall 10/10 experience :)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating.

The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid.

Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty.

The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings.

The vegetable mazesoba (vegan) included tofu soboro, mix of corn, quinoa, red pickles, and other goodies. It was a lighter flavor and we appreciated the opportunity to order the truffle oil on the side.

Overall, recommended for a casual and pleasant dinner among family and friends. The food quality and atmosphere make this hidden gem a great choice.“

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

“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“

“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!“
