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...read full review

Food very fresh, service very good
Let’s start with the good: at $55 the premium omakase box—with wagyu 2 ways, uni, and generous helpings of tuna belly—is unbeatable value, and no joke the best sushi this plebiscite (me) has had in Boston.
The lows: the service is…what it is. The most charitable thing I can say is they are laser focused on serving sushi, and not so much else. No reservations, so for a busy night be prepared to stand outside of this basement location alongside a horde...read full review

Tora Japanese Restaurant is a cozy establishment located in the basement, known for its delicious food and intimate atmosphere. The quality of the fish is described as phenomenal, with thick cuts and fresh taste, and the sashimi rice bowl is super fresh and tasty. The Tora Don is a recommended dish, although it is on the pricier side. However, some may find the food to be of average quality — yummy but not mindblowing — despite its popularity. The restaurant can get crowded, with long wait times during peak hours, and the small space gets pretty loud with a crowd. In the past, the price of certain dishes like Wagyu Don and foie gras were lower, but weekday lunch specials now offer meals for $15-$17. The staff are nice and service is fast, with knowledgeable and attentive service that makes guests feel welcome. The food is visually appealing, with a diverse array of options, though it does not fall into the extraordinary.
