“We have been going to Uchi since the opening week, and the food and service have only improved over time. We get takeout most weeks, and have enjoyed every item we've ordered, from various appetizers (we love the shrimp shumai) to entrees of sushi, ramen, fried rice, etc., to the fried ice cream dessert. Everything is delicious, the staff are friendly and recognize regulars, and we always enjoy ourselves when we eat in.“

“I was not expecting good Chinese food in the burbs of Boston, connected to a hotel. But, I was pleasantly surprised by Bamboo. It’s a beautiful restaurant with comfortable seating. We were there for dinner and it looked like they may have a daily lunch buffet during the week. The restaurant and bathrooms are clean.
Now the food. We had chicken lo mein, which was so delicious. Sometimes this dish is dry on Chinese restaurants, but not here. We also had the garlic duck which was so special. It’s large pieces of duck in a brown sauce with vegetables. We had the pork spareribs for an appetizer. We will definitely be back!“

“I had a great date night, it was our first time there and it was excellent. I was happy with everything from the food to the service from our server José. He was on point with everything, would love to have him next time again. But even the music was great, but obviously the food was the best of it all. Everyone should definitely check it out.“

“Authentic Thai and Tremptatious!
I loved the ground pork stir-fry basil here. Unlike other spots that use big chunks of pork, they use perfectly ground pork, which I prefer. The flavors are spot-on, and the ingredients are top-notch. If you want real Thai taste in Boston, this is the place!“

“What a great new spot! I’m always on the hunt for good ramen and this place certainly hits the mark. It’s a small place with a cozy atmosphere and an open kitchen so you can watch the magic happen. The food isn’t cheap but it’s not exorbitant either, and you certainly get your money’s worth. Service was speedy and we didn’t feel at all rushed taking our time over our food.
If you’re looking for a lower key date night or an extra delicious dinner with friends this is the perfect place!“

“We ended up being the only people in the restaurant, but what a cool spot! The rolls were packed with unique flavor that left us craving more!! We're big sushi people so this was exactly what we were craving. 🍣 One of the highlights of our trip to Boston!“

“This spot offers a truly unique and delicious food concept, with everything made fresh and packed with flavor. We’ve already been twice, despite living over 30 minutes away! The food is undeniably top-tier—worthy of a high-end dining experience—yet it’s served in a casual diner setting, which creates a bit of a contrast. The space is bright but lacks an atmosphere that matches the excitement of the cuisine. Additionally, they don’t have a liquor license, so no sake pairings, which feels like a missed opportunity. Overall, the food is a solid 10, while the rest is a 7 or 8—not because anything is wrong, but simply because it doesn’t quite align with the quality of the dishes. Definitely worth the trip for the food alone!“

“I visited Oishii with a small work group for a holiday celebration and we had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent—very attentive, made thoughtful recommendations, quick to refill water glasses, etc. and the food was delicious. I specifically enjoyed the Crispy Vegetable Dumplings, and the Shrimp Explosion and Japanese Yam Tempura Speciality Maki. We were far too full for dessert but decided to “just take a look”…and of course had to try a couple. The green tea layered cake (cannot remember the exact name) was absolutely delicious—would highly recommend! All in all a great meal. Quite expensive overall, so will make it an only-for-special-occasions restaurant, but would return (and likely order a similar slate of entrees).“

“TL;DR: TAKEOUT REVIEW. Everything was so good! Ikura was the starOrdered takeout/delivery on our last night in Boston for our late night snack. We had gone earlier in the day, but their chef's were not doing ala carte orders yet (they had just opened). But the store has a good selection of grab-and-go items from sushi, to drinks, to other merch like soy sauce and snacks.FOOD:~Chef's Sampler (5/5) and Signature Set (5/5): each of these sets came with 5 pieces of nigiri, and they were all so good. Each of them were topped with a unique seasoning/sauce, and they accompanied each of the fish so well!Salmon don (5/5): came with a great assortment of salmon, all of it very fresh (salmon belly was my fave). But the star of this dish to me was the ikura and the cucumbers. SO DELICIOUSGreat quality sushi, great portions, delicious flavors, and affordable prices! Definitely a must visit!“

“Food was solid high quality sushi with creative preparation and freshness. Menu can be overwhelming so I’d advise having a look before you go there. Our server was lively and informative. Prices are generally high but acceptable for the occasional visit or event. The decor was modern and comfortable.
Parking: We lucked out finding parking a few blocks away but it would have taken a while had we not happen upon the space. Make sure you leave enough time to park.
Kid-friendliness: Perfectly acceptable for kids as it’s not a quiet environment, but you probably wouldn’t want to as it is upscale and everyone is seated.“

“My better half and I visited this spot, and I can confidently say it’s the best sushi I’ve had in the Boston-Cambridge area. My only regret is not ordering the Sakana sushi boat—but there’s always next time!
She thinks it’s some of the best sushi she’s ever had, and she’s a regular.“

“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.“

“Brookline is so lucky to have this local gem in the community!! Super Fusion never misses - I get takeout from here frequently and it's always such a nice experience. The sushi is fresh, delicious, reasonably priced and the people who own this store are such kind folks. The super fusion maki combo and crispy crab wontons are my favorite things to order but I've enjoyed everything I've tried here! I'm always happy to give this place my business - they're really nice people who produce consistently high quality food.“

“Decent spot for affordable, Instagram-worthy sushi.
Stumbled upon this place on IG and decided to give it a try. Over the past few years, this location has seen several restaurant changes, and the interior remained mostly the same.
Their menu featured all the trendy sushi items that have been circulating on social media, like sushi donuts and tacos. While visually appealing, the sushi donuts and mini bowls were essentially their standard rolls repackaged in different forms—same sauces, similar ingredient combos. The portions felt a bit small considering they’re equivalent to about 3-4 rolls combined. Unless you’re specifically going for photos, I’d recommend sticking to their regular rolls for better value.
Given the price point, it’s hard to expect quality or creativity, and overall, the execution was reasonably good. My main complaint was with their sauces—they seemed to rely heavily on just two: unagi sauce and spicy mayo. As a result, everything ended up tasting quite similar. This was particularly disappointing with the sea urchin taco, which came with a relatively premium price tag. The curry rice plate had tender and fatty chicken, but it was underwhelming in terms of flavor.
I understand that there aren’t many casual sushi options in the Inman Square area, so this spot might be a convenient choice for students nearby. Not sure I’d rush back, but it’s worth checking out if you’re in the mood for cheap sushi.
Parking: Parking on Cambridge St. Usually empty spots available after 5p.“

“It's almost the only Mazesoba restaurant in downtown Boston, and the rolls and Mazesoba are delicious!! However, the inside of the store is small and there is a long line on weekend evenings, so you have to wait outside and it is very cold in the winter.“

“My 8 and 10 year old and I LOVED eating in the restaurant and our whole family loves it as take out and delivery. In particular, my kids loved the ramen saying it's the best they've tasted. We all loved the sushi (SO fresh) and I particularly loved giving the Sushi Chef (who I hear is a master who would love to practice his craft creatively off menu when given the chance :) my loves, preferences and any dietary constraints and he just surprised us w/delicious stuff of his own creation. It's become our favorite!“

“Chef Toriyama has some of the best sushi in Boston, hands-down! Little nuances that just make everything pop the vegetables tasted alarmingly, fresh good texture, really stunning depth the flavor. Almost reminds me of picking vegetables out of the garden. Not the usual slightly sterile taste, and texture that you find from modern restaurants.
The way that he seasons the rice is a little bit unique has a nice slightly nutty flavor to it. Really everything was incredibly well, balanced, and thought out.
The atmosphere is also stunning, soft, jazz music in the background sunlight gently fills the room
The staff all seem to know one another and be well connected and the entire vibe just feels warm.
Even the preparation & assembly of each role is different but in a charming and unique way. You can definitely tell that Chef has been at this for over the last two decades.
I eat at least Sushi twice a week and I think this is gonna be my new go to spot.“

“This delicious restaurant is located near the Central Station of the MRT Red Line. I came here for lunch this time and ordered Monfish fried rice-chicken. The portion was not a lot, but it tasted delicious. There was quite a lot of chicken, and the rice was fried quickly over high heat and was very fragrant. , and kale to increase the taste.
Visiting again for the second time, I ordered Thai drunken chicken noodle. The chicken was delicious, the noodles were tender and elastic, and the overall flavor was spicy and delicious.

“What might one expect from a a subterranean sushi den featuring the all-star Kenta Katagai? Nothing but the best, of course! Chef Katagai belongs to an inner circle of the world's grand masters, channelling all his passion and expertise into his sushi, shaping each and every piece to perfection in view of diners. The decor and service, just like the meal, elevate the silence and purity of the materials used.
ありがとう - arigatō.“

“Best sushi I’ve had in Boston and surrounding area.I love sushi, so the quality of my sushi is important to me. Ive been to numerous sushi places around the city, you name it I’ve been there. Nothing, and I mean nothing compares to new sushi Allston. Not to mention the prices are great aswell. Customer service is amazing, the sushi chef knows the order I always get, he even throws a free spicy miso(which is amazing) whenever I place an order.I would highly recommend this place over any other sushi restaurants, even the high end ones.“

“Recently changed owners hence the name change from Sushi Time to Umami Sushi. My go to was the Spicy Salmon Don from Sushi Time at an incredibly affordable price. To my surprise, I learned that Sushi Time has changed to Umami Sushi and the price had gone significantly up! I tried my go to meal anyways, but unfortunately did not taste the same. :( Friendly workers though. Maybe I'll try something else but I miss Sushi Time!“

“Everything was very fresh. I really enjoyed the toro and uni. Fresh wasabi was very nice. Lovely cocktail.
I also ordered the spider roll and the waitress didn’t tell me they didn’t have soft shell crab. She didn’t write anything down and I thought maybe she just forgot. She never came back with it so I was just waiting there. Until I asked another waitress. By then I was kind of done and didn’t want to look for anything else.
Overall, I thought the food was very good. I will probably try the omakase box next time or sit in for omakase if I have the time.“

“After noticing Sushinoya open for a year or so I finally decided to try it. I was craving sushi and ordered take out. We ordered California rolls, spicy tuna, eel, salmon, and shrimp tempura for take out. The order was ready in under 30 minutes. After eating some of the sushi I instantly knew it was special. Sushinoya made some of the best sushi I've ever had. It was fresh, delicious and perfectly balanced. I am looking forward to going back and trying their other offerings. Their prices are also very reasonable.“
