I ordered through Grubhub. The deliverer never showed up. When I called, she just hung up the phone. So I called Grubhub and they sent the same deliverer next time. Of course, she did the same thing.
I wasted 2 hours for 2 time orders. When I called the restaurant, they told me they didn’t have to be responsible for Grubhub orders.

Our group of 3 were able to place a reservation within 2 hours of attending on a Saturday. We were sat at a nice table inside. We loved the atmosphere. We ordered the fried chicken, fried brussel sprouts, spicy edamame, alaska maki, new wave maki, and the spicy kimchi pork ramen.
The sushi was very fresh and flavorful. I REALLY enjoyed the kimchi ramen.
What stood out to me most was the staff’s accommodations to our gluten and egg allergy. They offered us adaptations and triple checked to make sure there was no contamination. I recommend this spot if you’re looking for some sushi or ramen in downtown.

Love this spot. Great food at a good price, especially when Pete does his specials. And he's always willing to accommodate for dietary needs, food allergies, etc. Hell, he'll even throw together some off-menu dishes by request as long as he's got the ingredients in house!
Tons of beer and liquor selections available, too. Especially when it comes to whiskey.
The owner is a great dude and staff will always treat you right as long as you don't act like a frickin idiot.
Karaoke is always fun. The list fills up pretty quick on weekends though, so show up early!

Food was very good! Price was normal and well worth the price. Upstairs vibe is a bit odd compared to downstairs and outside, but highly recommend if you are in Boston.

All the frou frou Japanese recommendations friends gave us, we tried!
After all we lived in Japan and wanted the best of the bests. They were all meh.
Not Zen! The Udon is PERFECTION. Getting the texture right is no joke. Having a flavourful broth is not easy! They do it!
We also love the tuna rice cracker!
The service is top notch! They remember er that I don’t like onions and are always kind and thoughtful.
Now if you want fancy, this is not it: but we sit outside in the shade of the Athenaeum and couldn’t be happier!
Best 🍜 in town, hands down!

No idea how this place has 4.6 stars. Food was mediocre at best. Not fresh. The spicy item was 0% spicy. Junky decor. But Beacon Hill prices$$$

Sat at the sushi bar and food came out quick and delicious. Got eh Shushi Deluxe platter and wasn’t disappointed.
Atmosphere on the inside was cozy and has a nice wooden aesthetic which added to overall relaxing experience. Server was courteous.
Overall, great value for the cost and the would definitely return.

The food is so good! Best sushi I’ve ever had, I wish I remembered what I ordered because I would order it again in a heartbeat! Will definitely come back here when I’m in the Boston area for sure!
