12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Brookline

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“Great food and great service“

“The shoyu 1910 was delicious. Broth just right, pork belly tender and juicy, and the noodles tasted fresh.“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“Incredible Omakase!!!!!
Arguably, one of the best I’ve had anywhere and *definitely*, the best omakase in Boston!

I really enjoyed the variety, the freshness was superb, all the chefs were very knowledgeable and provided curious facts; which both, complemented and expanded on the experience. Given the low price tag that this omakase comes with — the lowest in Boston — this really seems like an impossible experience; and yet it’s here!

I’ve only gone last week but I’m already eager to return.
I wish the business and the whole team lots of prosperity, and all the positive attention they deserve!“

“This restaurant is run by a very sweet husband and wife duo. I was the only customer there around 9:30pm on a Tuesday night so it was just the 3 of us! This wasn’t the best sushi I ever had, but it was good and I did enjoy the intimate, quiet setting, also I appreciated their great service so I’d love to return some day and try more from their menu. I’d probably go for the beef bento box next time.“

“Over the past couple of years I have been to U Sushi countless times. The owners are always helpful and the food comes out quickly, whether for dine-in or takeout. A cozy spot to eat in, or perfect to takeaway and eat at home. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. Open late, which is rare in this neighborhood!“

“Great food ! 🧡✨ quick responses“

“great sushi and udon. adorable place“

“Don’t be fooled by the somewhat outdated interior and hole in the wall feel.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 stopped by this place on a Sunday afternoon. It was the first warm day in a while so we were the only patrons in the restaurant.
For a tiny place, it sure packs a punch. The sushi and rolls we ordered were so wonderful. The fish was so fresh and delicious. Service was kind and friendly. If you are in the neighborhood, definitely stop in.“
