Wonderful sushi and Pad Thai lunch. Everything was fresh, and requesting medium spicy gave the Pad Thai the perfect amount of heat. Wonderful service and easy parking.

I’m writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent experience at your restaurant during my lunch break.
While looking for a place to eat, I found your restaurant online and was impressed by the photos and positive reviews. One picture in particular—a sushi sampler—caught my eye and influenced my decision to dine with you. However, when I ordered what I believed to be the same dish, I received something entirely different.
Wanting to clarify, I returned to the restaurant and showed the photo to a staff member, but instead of helping, she raised her voice at me. This made me feel uncomfortable, so I calmly asked for a refund. She said she didn’t know how to process one and called the owner.
Unfortunately, the owner also began yelling at me after I shared the photo, insisting it wasn’t the restaurant’s fault and blaming customers for the misleading image. I tried to explain that I wasn’t upset about a mistake—just disappointed and asking for a simple refund—but I was talked over and dismissed.
As a customer, this experience was upsetting and made me feel disrespected. I understand that sometimes images online may not be official, but I believe there was a better way this could have been handled.
I’m sharing this not just to express my frustration, but in the hope that future customers are treated with more understanding.

The food is amazing, and the ingredients are fresh. I highly recommend the okdal bibimbap (hope I spelled that correctly). It has become my absolute favorite meal!

A welcoming place with so many delicious choices on the menu. I had the special: pork belly & kimchi bipbimbap. So flavorful! It was served in a stone bowl which kept it hot and created a layer of exquisitely crunchy rice at the bottom. It’s a generous portion so I get to enjoy it again tomorrow too!

I got this delivered through door dash so I cannot speak to service or atmosphere only the food. I got the Gyoza which was excellent crispy flavorful and the Chicken Yakisoba… this is where things fall very flat the dish itself felt bland the vegetables were overcooked and the flavors just muddled in with the noodles it was quite bland but my biggest complaint is the Yakisoba itself it did not feel like it was seared noodles but blandly boiled with little to no sauce. Fairly disappointing meal a great appetizer doesn’t save the fact the main was kinda bad because it was so lackluster and disappointing.
Misono is a Japanese restaurant located right off of VFW Parkway in Brookline, I've been coming here ever since I was a small child and have experienced many things.
One thing that stands out is the presence of a koi pond within the restaurant, which brings a big deal to the atmosphere. Service is also friendly and able to remake orders if needed, though the staff are very knowledgeable and don't tend to mess up orders.
The food however, can be hit or miss. They specialize in Japanese, but do have Korean options as well. I've tried many things, such as the sushi, bibimbap, kimchi stew, spicy udon, and many more. I liked the spicy udon and tonkatsu from here, as well as the sushi. Prices are on the more expensive side though, but the quality is pretty good. What I didn't like are some of the specials, like the Hwe Dup Bab, which just didn't taste right even though its chilled fish. Most other dishes are average good, not outstanding but not bad either.
Misono is a nice restaurant to go to while in the area.
This is a lovely clean restaurant with great food. My food was served hot and fast.

I went today and had the pork katsu lunch. The price was high for a lunch and the service and food quality were lacking.

A night out with some friends from work with decided to come in and eat at this restaurant. We check out the menu menu before going in. We noticed it look very delicious..
Two complains about this place. , the waiter is rude. She doesn’t know how to speak to customers, no manners. I think her name is Sue. I spent almost $200 that night. It was almost 7:30 and two of my friends wanted to order some sushi to go. The waiter said it was late. I couldn’t figure it out. What kind of response is that in a place is trying to make business
The only thing it was great it was great was the sushi I ordered. The rest of the food was awful taste. I have eaten asian food however this was Awful. I don’t think I will be returning. This restaurant is less Japanese than anything else
Wonderful selection of Asian fusion cuisine
