WOW. You should eat here. I can’t say enough about the incredible service or the great food. We’re definitely selective with our food choices and we were more than happy. Thank you to Gary, Bill and the entire team for a wonderful evening.

Decent omakase spot - as someone who has omakase almost every weekend in nyc, I’m basing my comparison to a middle of the way omakase in NYC. The food was good but could’ve been fresher. If you like your cuts of fish to be big, you’ll like this place it just isn’t my personal preference.

I’m not a big review writer but this place is fantastic - the staff is super friendly and the food is phenomenal. It was one of the best omakase/ sushi experiences I’ve had. Everything was very fresh and inventive and the service was excellent.

For the price this place is a great value when compared to other similarly priced omakase joints in Boston in general. Both the chefs and the host were fantastic to talk to, and the food pairings were great as well.

INCREDIBLE food, truly an amazing experience and wonderful staff that love explaining what they do. The chefs have an extreme attention to detail and you can see them working on perfecting each dish as it comes out, always correcting and discussing amongst themselves. A wonderful experience.

What a great meal and dining experience! Every one of the 18 courses was delicious and the sake pairings delightful. The staff was both attentive and engaging. It is expensive but well worth it.

My partner & I love to try omakase’s in different states/cities and cannot say enough good things about this one. Although the food wasn’t the best we’ve ever had (still very very good & complete), the service made it such a top notch omakase experience. Server was incredibly nice & informative, constantly asking how we’re doing and accommodating. Chefs were great as well at describing every dish. Absolutely love this place and would love to come back when we get the chance to visit from Texas again.

Excellent experience again. Nice to see the dishes change a decent amount since last time. The only suggestion I have is not to overdo the toppings...e.g. sometimes there was too much scallions which overpowered the taste of the fish. Loved all the yuzu usage.

What a great dining experience. We had the 18-course menu and each piece was delicious. The sake pairings added to the flavors. The staff was friendly and provided a fantastic experience. It was 2+ hours of yummy dishes! It's a bit expensive but well worth it!

I think this would be a 5 star experience, but for the price. I knew what to expect price-wise in advance, but the food and presentation was just at a 4. There was nothing to elevate it to that 5. Service was good, no issues but the restaurant was so echoey it was painful to listen to the server. We have gone to some Omakase places in Massachusetts and NYC and price for presentation and flavor it is still not the best in Massachusetts as that honor, so far, is held by Zuma.

We did the entire experience with the 18 course meal and the add on specials. Everything was great and unique. Especially the duck breast! That was unexpected and it was my favorite dish!

Best omakase in Boston!! Our go to place for special occasions. Gary and his team always present the best seasonal ingredients in such innovative ways. We love sitting at the counter and watching the dishes being prepared meticulously right in front of us. They even showcase the whole fish! Everything is so delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The sake pairing was excellent. Top notch food, service and ambience. We can't wait to go back soon!
