I went for the AYCE option for lunch and was disappointed. This is probably the worst udon I’ve ever had. Luckily, the AYCE are in smaller bowls. However, every udon dish I ordered was overcooked and mushy. The soups were overly sweet and salty. On too of that, the service was slow and our waiter would incorrectly place our orders. I would not come back.

Really nice food!! Especially the crab sushi and the spicy chicken wudon. The waiter and waitress is good, but the only problem is the attitude of one of the girls. We aren't familiar with this restaurant, it's our first time to dine in. We are foreigners, we don't know we have to show our student ID to get discount. But the girl just angrily yelled and queried us why didn't we tell her at the first place if we want discount. But the problem is "we don't know!" And I just asked her whether we can get the discount or not, 'cause again I Don't Know!! But she couldn't stop yelling, and asked us to wait. But it's your job to expliane it to us. We were confused, But the result was being yelled in the public. I know she had a busy and harsh day for working, But it really affect our moods. I still tipped, because the other waiters are really nice.

I have been here once for a lunch menu, which was very affordable.
The hotpot ayce has a decent quality of food, but lack consistency. Order prime ripeye but got normal ripeye in between (2 out of 6plates) and funky smell shrimp.
The servers were not familiar with the menu + they didnt inform us the last order period, we were waiting to order for the last 15 minutes of the service, but noone noticed us and when he came by our table, he said the kitchen has already closed, and we cant order anymore. We just checked and left unfulfilled. You paid $60 and still felt hungry after the meal, well....
Another time, we went for the sushi buffet. We picked the Premium course (the mid-course), which for us seems reasonable in terms of the available choices and price. The low-course one seems a bit restricted as you get no sashimi or proper seafood at all.
The food was well arranged and cooked. We love the deep-fried oysters and the hand rolls so much.
The overall service was fast. However, the server clearly was not familiar with the menu. He confused a couple of our orders, such as getting 2 Udon vegetables instead of 2 Tempura vegetables (we are pretty sure we order it right due to our group policy of not eating too much noodles/udon). He had to look at our menu to the right letter-by-letter of our orders, which was a bit hard to watch (e.g. TsuruTsuru Deluxe udon, tuna ahi or something) as we have to hand him the menu to write down instead of just order the food.
He said he was just here for his second day, so I wouldn't blame him. But I would hope he get familiar with the menu soon, as it is quite uneasy to be in the situation.
One note for the food, all of the seafood was fresh and tastety, however, I had one shrimp where it smelled a little funky. I ordered 3 more, but all of them were fine, so I think I were just unlucky.

The food here is fantastic. With our reservations, we were seated almost immediately and had plenty of seating options. The space boasts a modern design, clean surroundings, and a pleasantly quiet ambiance. Service was attentive, with regular check-ins, and our food arrived at a steady pace. Although we initially came for the Dine Out Boston menu, we were swayed by the all-you-can-eat option and were not disappointed.
The handrolls were well-made, with a good balance of filling, and the salmon tasted fresh. The sashimi was also quite good. The Udon noodles were soft and chewy, with a clear and flavorful broth. However, the sushi rolls truly stole the show, delivering excellent flavor that complemented the other dishes.
The only reason I didn’t give a full 5-star rating is the price. At $52 per person, it felt a bit steep for what was offered. I had visited before when the cost was lower, but now many of the previously available options have been moved to the highest tier ($82 per person), which I found hard to justify. Portion sizes have also decreased, with sushi pieces going from 6 to 4.
While it's a great spot for a special occasion or date night, the cost makes it a less frequent choice for me.

Second time here, have also been to one in Karuizawa, Japan, different menu and vibe, but the Boston location does not disappoint. The menu is full of options, all of the staff are very nice and helpful, the food is delicious and the portion sizes are generous. And where can you feel like you're getting value in Boston these days - they have happy hour food specials, $3.99 beers (while Sam and Harpoon still are full prices at local establishments), and everything is reasonably priced to begin with (compared to other Boston restaurants). This place is great. Definitely becoming a regular spot.

Really great price for all you can eat sushi and apps. The sushi was not the best quality, I really enjoyed the egg rolls! The aesthetic of this place was really cute and super clean.
My family, poor students do not cheat poor students, this family is very ordinary. I bought a restaurant week package so I also had sushi and sashimi. Although it was very rich, the sushi was very bad and the fish and sashimi in the middle were so stale that I couldn't eat it in one bite. I suggest that rich students eat something else, while poor students like me go home and cook for themselves.

The food was pretty good, and service was as well. My main complaint is that the menu online says they have chicken and pork all you can eat hot pot for $35, but when you get there they tell you it's an old menu and they only have beef and it starts at $45. We would have gone elsewhere if we had known ahead of time this was the case.
Dietary restrictions: They advertise chicken/pork hot pot but only had beef options
