50 Best Sushi Bars near Brighton

“Open til 1am. sushi is decent. i got the red sox maki and the unagi with rice. got free edamame with my purchase. it's a very small place, so take out is better. i got a spot on the street right in front so parking wasn't an issue. it was 9 pm.“

“I LOVE this sushi place. I found it by accident one night on GrubHub for a sweet potato roll and it was perfect. I've been steadily ordering the same with a ginger ale for a year and it always tastes consistently fresh and full of flavor. The price is always great. Thanks for tasty late night food!

Edit: Also, went in-person with our baby one night and Jay and Chris were super nice and everyone was very welcoming.

We got vegetable Gyoza, Sweet potato rolls and cucumber rolls, and they were fresh and had a lot of flavor.“

“We ordered delivery. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Especially loved the cucumber avocado sushi and the vegetable gyoza.“

“Recently updated plates, water containers, and now tablet ordering system with slight menu updates. Overall still similar portions and quality as prior, though we did think the tuna and mackerel were not as fresh as usual. Salmon, white tuna, yellowtail, squid, arctic clam, and eel were the usual quality. Service staff similar as before, attentive when able but clearly hustling during busy dinner rush. Thankfully the tablet has a button to call for service and also the check when ready. Still a reliable AYCE sushi place at a decent price, with cooked options as well.“

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

“Only reason 4/5 for atmosphere is that they turned down the lights drastically at around 7 PM weekdays, it was too dark to see your meal properly.

However by then my meal was finished.
Ramen is delicious, I didnt ask for chili oil as broth was sufficient alone.

Ordered one sushi and it was one roll but loosely wrapped in seaweed.

Service is quick, I would be surprised if anything takes more than 10 mins.

If you with a group, get a table. Two or a pair can share side by side bar/top seating.“

“Matsunori is a comfort spot I keep going back to. Boston is definitely lacking in terms of handroll places, so the opening of this spot was a win, for sure. The fish quality is pretty good and each handroll is crafted with care (in terms of ingredients pairing). I personally really love the OG miso cod, Eel with foie gras, Mango salmon, and Spicy tuna. All the ingredients mesh perfectly together without overpowering the ⭐ of the show (the fish).

While they don’t offer reservations and are usually super busy (weekdays&weekends), today we got there around 7pm (on a weekday) and there was no wait, which was nice. Our server, Duc, was so attentive and helpful. Rolls came out super quick, as always. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!“

“Nice and chill environment.“

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

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

“First-class dining right in Chestnut Hill. I’m so glad I discovered this place.

I visited during a tasting event, which offered a great opportunity to sample several dishes from across the menu. The fish was beautifully prepared and expertly seasoned throughout. The standout was the black cod, perfectly balancing savory richness with just the right touch of sweetness.

The shiromi ususukuri — Japanese white fish sashimi — was delicate and refreshing, with candied quinoa adding an unexpected and satisfying crunch. On the meat side, the pork belly bao bun was superb: melt-in-your-mouth pork tucked inside a pillowy, perfectly steamed bun.

Every dish felt thoughtful and polished without being fussy. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in the area. I can’t wait to come back.“

“fish amazing but also blown away by vegetable roll!“

“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!“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

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

“Every sushi was delicious! The flavor was unique and interesting. You can feel the texture contrast of each sushi, and the various flavors of each sushi are singing harmoniously in your mouth! The dessert was amazing and the sake pairing was good as well!“

“This was our second time dining at Ebi Sushi, and just like our first visit, everything was fantastic. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared every time. Our server, Amanda, was wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It’s service like hers that really adds to the experience. Jose, the owner, has truly outdone himself with this place. You can tell he takes great pride in what he’s built from the quality of the dishes to the amazing team that brings it all together. We’ll definitely be back again before the new location opens, and we’re looking forward to visiting that one as well. Ebi Sushi has become one of our favorite date night spots consistently great food, great people, and a great vibe. 🍣❤️“

“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“

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

“We came to Cactus Club Boston to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and had such a great time! The atmosphere was so fun and beautiful, the food was really good, and the drinks were amazing. Everything was perfect for a birthday celebration and we had such a fun night together. The staff was also so friendly and attentive. Definitely a great place for a celebration or a night out with friends!“

“Fantastic experience celebrating my birthday with my boyfriend at Mai! All of our food was incredibly well executed. From the hand rolls to the Wagyu Tartare and Toro Tea Cup, you won’t be disappointed. Su also took great care of us and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“This mazesoba was the best meal my family and I had on our short trip to Massachusetts!! The bowls themselves were gorgeous, and the noodles were perfect to match. The decor of the restaurant is also very beautiful and inviting. The vegan mazesoba is amazing, a must try if you’re in the area and looking for a filling meal!“

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

“This is my favorite sushi place, bar none. The food is a great value given the quantity and quality, and the customer service couldn't be better. They recognize me when I come to pick up lunch despite only going about once a month, and the staff is always so friendly. I recommend it to all my coworkers, and always look forward to my lunches from there.“

“This is a true gem. This is our first time but will not be the last. The sushi is made to perfection. We had sushi, super fresh, udon with beef and chicken katzu. Dessert was fried ice cream!!! The place is small so reservations are recommended.“

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

“Jaime was the best server ever! She made our experience over the top, and although I've eaten at Uchi countless times, this was truly the best. All nigiri were so fresh, and the zero sen roll is one of my favorites. The watermelon cocktail was delicious too!“

“We come to Boston every 6 months, this restaurant is within walking distance of our hotel and our go to place. Such great food amd amazing service! We love our waiter Robin!“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“This place was fantastic, the sushi was excellent with quality fish, the vibe was chill, and there was a lot of gluten free options for my mom who is celiac. The value for the price was insane and the service was top notch. Kevin was super nice and helped us with the gluten free situation.“

“I ordered the sashimi don and it was much larger than I expected. The fish assortment was fresh and they gave a lot of that, which I really enjoyed. However there were green chili under the fish and I didn’t see it because it blended with the veggies. The menu also didn’t say this, and it was a big issue for me as I cannot eat spicy at all. I initially thought it was the gochujang, but the hotness got worse and worse and I almost couldn’t continue eating. The restaurant should really specify these things as it’s not obvious from just the menu name.

Nevertheless, the staff were really nice and helpful and I appreciate their service. The store was decorated with a homey japanese / korean vibe. The toilet was a bit old and smelled, but other than that it was a great experience. Might go back and order something else.“

“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!“

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

“Great food & staff. Parking is a challenge but worth it.“

“I’ve been meaning to make a review of this place but selfishly don’t want this best kept secret to get out… alas I won’t gate keep!!

In a city of (I’ll say it) overpriced and mediocre food, ono poke stands apart. It’s not easy to find… small and hidden down a set of stairs near porter with only a small sign to guide you. But what ono does well is consistiently incredible poke. I don’t know how but every time the avocados are ripe, the salmon or tuna so fresh and the rice, warm and buttery tasting like it was just made.

I’ve been to ono probably 30 times and I plan to go 30 more. I don’t even particularly love poke I just love THIS poke.

You can tell when owners put love and care into their food and that’s what I feel here. It’s no frills and it’s done well. I’m gluten free and they made sure to label things that have gluten as well. I feel normal here like it’s not an inconvenience. I ❤ ono poke forever“

“Best sushi I’ve had! Friendly staff; amazing food- lots of choice, interesting combinations, fresh, gluten free friendly (they make their own soy sauce even!); casual vibe; beautiful space.“

“This was one of the BEST omakase experiences I have ever had. The attention to detail was extraordinary. I ate at several two and three star Michelin restaurants last summer in France and I was happier with my dining experience at Umami. The quality of ingredients is absolutely stellar and it is truly a treat for all the senses. Go!!“

“Great food and great service“

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

“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.“

“Genuinely don’t understand why this place is empty save for my family when we come in - The waiters are attentive, and the food and milk tea are both spectacular. They offer a lot more options than most sushi restaurants as well! Seems like a really lovely family business and I would definitely recommend.“

“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’m truly impressed by the thoughtfulness and quality of food given the price point. This is better than those expensive omakase in Boston I’ve ever tried.

One comment - the sauce for eel hand roll is way too sweet & heavy - and it covered the natural umami flavor of the fish. Besides this, great experience!“

“2 floors. Walking in from Temple Street you have the option to dine upstairs with a limited menu and cocktail forward experience while listening to vinyl. If Sushi is what you came for, you’ll be brought downstairs. Both spaces are narrow giving you an Intimate dining/cocktail experience. Nostalgia on the walls of retro music and items. My experience was downstairs where I ordered the 5 Kan Mori, Hamachi Maki, Negi Toro and I can’t remember the name but it had Mackerel that was torched. All of it was excellent. The Hamachi Maki and Negi Toro comes with wasabi and soy already added to the rolls, however I asked for extra wasabi based on preference. Worth the experience.“

“Don’t be fooled by the somewhat outdated interior and hole in the wall feel. The focus here is on the food!

Good quality fish, creative rolls, and efficient service. The price-to-value ratio can’t be beat. Tastes that much better with the reasonable prices. Note that you can tell the fish is not top-notch quality, but it hits all the right notes for an everyday sushi craving. Some rolls are more outstanding than others. My favorite so far was one that incorporated crunchy tempura bits into the minced tuna topping (forgot the name!).

We loved our recent visits so much that we’re getting platters from here for a holiday party. I’m pretty sure they’re going to be a hit.“

“I love their food jun our server she is great“

“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.“

“Excellent salmon bento box!“

“We went here on a weekday for lunch. I got a 3 roll Maki lunch special (spicy tuna, Fin's roll, and Alaska roll), and my partner got the sashimi lunch. The fish was fresh, and the presentation was nicely done. We go to this restaurant at least once a month and have never had a bad experience. The food is good, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant is a pleasant environment.“
