Table for 2 on a Saturday night. The service was quick and attentive. The food was decent. Nothing too exciting that we tried. The chicken katsu and the chicken thigh stick were good. The teriyaki beef was a little over cooked. They offer a 10% discount for cash, we had to ask a second time to get the check adjusted. They were generally kind and helpful.

So bad. ate $150 and feel upset. Waste my appetite and time :( poor Boston people, should go to New York City for any Japanese food.The beef is well done and dry. Crab meat is premade-product and they use it everywhere with the sweet mayo sause, okra and chicken wings are over cooked. And the server took away my chopsticks by accident.The only good thing is their sashimi is thick cut and the toro is on point.

We were deciding what to eat for our anniversary dinner. One kid wants sushi, another wanted ramen or chicken katsu, wife wanted sashimi and I wanted Yakitori. We landed on Omori Izakaya.Parking was easy right on the same street and plenty of spots available at dinner time on a Saturday.We got there earlier than our reservation. We were seated immediately with maybe few more tables open. We order some Yakitori and appetizers to start. The pork belly, chicken gizzards and chicken hearts were extremely flavorful. The chicken skin was crunchy perfection. The octopus was grilled to perfection with a little of mixed spices on top. Hotate Kaiyaki came out on a little warmer with a little flame and very cool presentation. Tako Yaki was good as well.For main courses we order chicken katsu dinner and dragon roll and caterpillar and sashimi combo. The kids love the chicken katsu. They also loved the maki rolls. Sashimi also fresh.Overall we had a great time. The food were very good. The stars were the Yakitori skewers.Parking: Plenty of meter parking on the same street as the restaurant.

The comfycozy salty/savory stop of your dreams. Absolutely loved how they made the simple into so much more— the shumai was so fresh, not just the random assortment of blended up shrimp you usually get at restaurants. The soft shell crab is so incredibly concentrated, we were thinking they must use some kind of crab seasoning to get...more crab per crab? I'd suggest those two and maybe a drink and the unagi don, since the ramen I ordered was quite plain, and the beef was pretty tough (but great marinade!) The agedashi tofu is out of this world, definitely the best I've ever had, beating the ones I've tasted in Tokyo. Love how much marinade they place in the bowl with the tofu. Really made it special. Would love to hear less American music over the speakers and have full view of the bar (that would make it a full 5 star experience in my opinion! Alongside their entrees needing some work) But definitely a great place for apps.

Went here on a sunday afternoon and wasn't busy at all. Ordered the omakase for two and bot green tea. Tea wasn't too flavorful, but it has free refills. The sashimi was fresh and very good. The fatty tuna was especially full of flavor. The service was very good, and they checked up on us periodically to make sure we were good.

I really enjoyed my lunch here!We ordered the Agedashi Tofu, Eggplant, and Soft Shell Crab for appetizers, and every one of them were flavorful and well-presented. We opted for their selection of yakitori and were very pleased with the chicken, meatballs, and especially the shishito pepper. To wrap everything up, we had the Miyazaki roll, which has avocado, cooked shrimp, and mayo covered with seared wagyu with unagi sauce--this was absolutely fantastic, layers of incredible flavor with melt-in-your-mouth A5 grade beef. I'll be coming back again, especially since they actually have hot sake!

I came here to visit for my birthday as it looked like a pretty chill place to go with my family.I went on a holiday and it was pretty quiet with only about three groups in the restaurant. Service was just alright and definitely could have been better. My family arrived at the restaurant before me and as soon as I came in the server asked if I wanted to place my order when I had barely looked at the menu. They were also kind of rushing us throughout our time there despite it not being busy.We ordered some apps and entree items and food was pretty good, nothing special. However, one thing did stand out, which was the miso eggplant. I don't even really like to order eggplant because most places don't make it right, but it was so good. Everything else, even including my unagi don, was just alright. They have really nice drink specials though with cocktails under $10. A $130 bill without tip is not bad for a group of 5 so that was nice to see since that's a rarity. I am glad I finally got to visit here and see it for myself but I don't plan to come back
Great deal for an omakase for two people! Tasted very fresh and probably some of the better tako that I've had. We actually went with a total of the we people so we ordered a couple of side dishes to go with the omakase portion. Squid was pretty good, wasabi octopus was not super up my alley nor were the shishito peppers as both of those were a touch too spicy to be completely enjoyable for me. Fairly large space inside with a long high top counter as well. Street parking outside, or public parking lot a few blocks away.

Authentic Izakaya above the Green Line tracks in Brookline Village. My partner and I are able to get appetizers, 4-5 rolls, and a beer or two for a reasonable price! Bonus is you get 10% off if you pay in cash. A go to for affordable and delicious food.

I go there for their fresh seafood, especially their octopus dishes. Their pulpo ? crudo en wasabi is an incredible ceviche-like dish. The fiddlehead beer was so fresh and the Japanese whisky on the rocks was a great bevie to end the meal.

Great food! We were seated very quickly and the food came out right away. They were very accommodating as one of the people in our party has some food allergies and they were very conscientious about making sure the food was to our liking. They have a wide selection of yakitori and kushiyaki which were good but not anything phenomenal or unique. However the chef omakase for two was definitely a winner for me! 68 dollars was a very reasonable price and it comes out in a 9 part box with different types of fish. I loved the salmon which tasted very fresh. I'm really looking forward to coming back here if I'm in the area!
