50 Best Sushi Bars near Dedham

“This is a true gem. This is our first time but will not be the last. The sushi is made to perfection. We had sushi, super fresh, udon with beef and chicken katzu. Dessert was fried ice cream!!! The place is small so reservations are recommended.“

“The food is OK-not bad, not great. The miso ramen broth is a little watery and salty at the same time (this ain’t the traditional long simmering bone broth based ramen soup) and the sliced pork (tonkatsu) was a bit tough. The lunch specials are a good price but the taste will make you wonder if it actually is. Tempura isnt the traditional Japanese batter, it’s got the premade thick layer you get from frozen pieces at the supermarket. Sushi rolls are as good as any other neighborhood sushi place. If you’re satisfied with general Asian food this is a decent spot to grab a casual meal, esp lunch. If you’re a discerning diner who can differentiate between real Japanese cuisine vs other styles, you’ll come away a little deflated. The service was great, servers were very nice. The music was really loud and started to grate on me after awhile as it repeated.“

“Muy buena la atención y la comida 💪“

“My husband and I eat a Bamboo quite often. Last night we went to a function and after the party we were hungry so of course we went to Bamboo and the food was delicious as expected. They NEVER let us down.

We ordered chicken and beef skewers along with crab ragoon as dine in, and we ordered salt and pepper wings, beef fried rice, and beef and broccoli to go.

My husband gave his card to pay the bill. On the merchant copy of the receipt for the tip, he put $0.00. The waitress took the book and walked away. As her back was turned, my husband put $22 dollars in cash on the table. The waitress came back to the table and showed my husband that he put $0.00 on the merchant copy.

My husband, who is always calm, pointed to the cash on the table. Immediately, I had a bad taste in my mouth.

I definitely will return. However, I did not like that at all.“

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.“

“A really good, quiet, and friendly environment. They all welcome you and say bye afterwards. Their sushi and ramen are really good and had a beautiful presentation. If you are looking for a quiet place where to read and eat this is your place but go between 4:45-5:30!“

“Amazing place! Got the spicy tuna, spicy yellow tail, and the tuna hand rolls- spicy tuna was my fav the sweet potato was super good. the service was amazing! they refilled the water and changed out the napkins without you even needing to ask.“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“First-class dining right in Chestnut Hill. I’m so glad I discovered this place.

I visited during a tasting event, which offered a great opportunity to sample several dishes from across the menu. The fish was beautifully prepared and expertly seasoned throughout. The standout was the black cod, perfectly balancing savory richness with just the right touch of sweetness.

The shiromi ususukuri — Japanese white fish sashimi — was delicate and refreshing, with candied quinoa adding an unexpected and satisfying crunch. On the meat side, the pork belly bao bun was superb: melt-in-your-mouth pork tucked inside a pillowy, perfectly steamed bun.

Every dish felt thoughtful and polished without being fussy. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in the area. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Best authentic Sushi I had in the US! They brought Sushi chefs from Japan! 🇯🇵“

“Here’s a polished review you can post:

Tried Pokeworks at Quincy Market in Boston and honestly wish I found this place sooner! The market itself was super crowded and a bit overstimulating on a Saturday night, and the location was slightly hard to find because it was packed with people — but that’s definitely more about Quincy Market being busy than the restaurant itself.

I did a collect order and highly recommend doing that because my food was ready straight away with no waiting around. The portions were EXTREMELY generous and definitely good value for money. I got the poke salad bowl with tuna and prawns and added literally every topping possible (which was great because there were so many included at no extra cost). Everything tasted fresh and filling, and I was seriously impressed by how much food I got.

Left feeling very full and very satisfied. Would absolutely go back again!“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

“This was our second time dining at Ebi Sushi, and just like our first visit, everything was fantastic. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared every time. Our server, Amanda, was wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It’s service like hers that really adds to the experience. Jose, the owner, has truly outdone himself with this place. You can tell he takes great pride in what he’s built from the quality of the dishes to the amazing team that brings it all together. We’ll definitely be back again before the new location opens, and we’re looking forward to visiting that one as well. Ebi Sushi has become one of our favorite date night spots consistently great food, great people, and a great vibe. 🍣❤️“

“Love it! Ingredients were fresh and the sushi rice was delicious! Will definitely return 😋“

“Genuinely my favorite restaurant in Boston these days. I've been here more times than I'd like to admit - Food, drinks, customer service and ambiance are just unmatched. Absolutely need a reservation - the walk-in line is always long when I've gone.“

“Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was fresh and delicious. A special shoutout to the manager, John, for making sure everything was perfect and for providing outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“fish amazing but also blown away by vegetable roll!“

“What an amazing place! The portions here are soooo big I loved every bite. The cheesy ramen is delicious and the yuzu one is super refreshing also delicious. The roll was incredible and very fresh salmon bowl also looked incredible, they serve it with miso. Prices are also super reasonable for the quality.“

“Friendly service with awesome sushi. Best around town.“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“Best udon noodles ever 🥰 beef with kimchi nice and warm on a rainy day.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“We come to Boston every 6 months, this restaurant is within walking distance of our hotel and our go to place. Such great food amd amazing service! We love our waiter Robin!“

“Lunch specials appear reasonably priced so we ordered an eel bento box and a makimono lunch. Both had a good selection of of items. There was more than enough food for two of us, quality was excellent, service was good. Tasteful decor in a small but comfortable room.“

“Great small plates, gyoza, soft shell crab, maki is excellent Mt Fuji a favorite. Delicious drinks, fried green tea ice cream hard to find in New England!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, food and service. Able to accommodate food restrictions. Highly recommended!“

“Great food & staff. Parking is a challenge but worth it.“

“My first time at Akame Omakase was absolutely exceptional. Every course was carefully explained, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the entire experience felt thoughtful from start to finish.

Some of my favorite dishes were the Aki Dashi Tofu, with an incredibly rich and comforting umami broth, the Tom Kha Gai, the sweet Ebi shrimp that was simply delicious, and especially the Otoro with Uni, which completely melted in my mouth.

For $99, this omakase was an amazing experience and easily exceeded my expectations for a first omakase dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Great food and great service“

“What a cute place with fun food - the sushi is delish. The canned boba were huge hits. We ate the food so quickly we didn’t get pictures. Huge thumbs up for the crab Rangoon, skewers, and salmon sashimi and rolls! Oh and the shrimp poke bowl!“

“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.“

“Food was fantastic.

The reason I took off a star isn't a great reason because we didn't all for this up front, but they refused to give separate checks or split the check more than two ways (we asked for 3 since we couldn't get our own check), that was frustrating.“

“Best sushi I’ve had! Friendly staff; amazing food- lots of choice, interesting combinations, fresh, gluten free friendly (they make their own soy sauce even!); casual vibe; beautiful space.“

“I love their food jun our server she is great“

“Great place to stop by. The staff are great and you can always find a food option that you'll like. If your just starting off, try the chicken katsu bento. You will have to wait for this meal, but its a great starting point. I find the meals are great to eat between work and school since I don't have much time to eat in most places.“

“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.“

“We made reservations online for the Omaska. It was $300 which broke down to $120 per person with tip and tax. The tables were perfectly space out. They gave us a 2 hour limit which was enough time for the 12 course Omaska. Presentation on everything was amazing. Each course was fresh and delicious in their own way. It was hard to hear the man over his mask so I couldn't get any names. We had uni, tuna belly, scallops, and more. All the Courses were small but packed with favor. You can take there was attention to detail in the ingredients and presentation. Definitely, worth the money was a special event like a birthday. Would definitely come back“

“2 floors. Walking in from Temple Street you have the option to dine upstairs with a limited menu and cocktail forward experience while listening to vinyl. If Sushi is what you came for, you’ll be brought downstairs. Both spaces are narrow giving you an Intimate dining/cocktail experience. Nostalgia on the walls of retro music and items. My experience was downstairs where I ordered the 5 Kan Mori, Hamachi Maki, Negi Toro and I can’t remember the name but it had Mackerel that was torched. All of it was excellent. The Hamachi Maki and Negi Toro comes with wasabi and soy already added to the rolls, however I asked for extra wasabi based on preference. Worth the experience.“

“Excellent salmon bento box!“

“We went here on a weekday for lunch. I got a 3 roll Maki lunch special (spicy tuna, Fin's roll, and Alaska roll), and my partner got the sashimi lunch. The fish was fresh, and the presentation was nicely done. We go to this restaurant at least once a month and have never had a bad experience. The food is good, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant is a pleasant environment.“

“Fabulous as always!“

“The Monkfish is an amazing spot! They are one of the few establishments that still hosts live jazz concerts many nights of the week. Their food is incredibly delicious, and the vibe is really nice for an evening out. We just hosted a private event there, and I couldn't believe how kind and considerate the managers and staff were to help us bring our vision to life. It was also affordable and an awesome place to have our party. Thank you Monkfish! Please go and support this restaurant.“

“Great food and great service“

“The food is amazing and the service was outstanding. Very friendly and quick.“

“This is honestly my favorite place! The two owners are always so kind and welcoming, and they make every visit feel special. The food is absolutely delicious, the portions are generous, and everything is always fresh and clean. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get.

I truly hope the two owners stay here for many, many years because this place has become my go-to spot. Highly recommend! ❤️“

“The best in Boston.“

“Sushi Man is easily my family’s favorite restaurant. Whenever my kids come home, this is always at the top of their list.

The fish is consistently fresh, and even the simplest cuts of sashimi are incredibly flavorful, a true testament to quality. There’s something special about a place where a plain piece of raw fish can taste this good.

It’s a cozy, intimate spot with about eight tables and some bar seating, giving it that classic mom-and-pop feel. The husband and wife owners are always warm and welcoming, and they somehow manage to find a way to accommodate you, even when it’s busy.

A true neighborhood gem that we keep coming back to again and again.“

“I came here to try their ramen noodle. We ordered their grilled zucchini and pork belly bao bun for starter. My colleague ordered their spicy beef noodle soup while I ordered their duck noodle soup. Our starters came within 10 mins despite they are busy. Kudos to them. Grilled zucchini was okay, lack of seasoning. Pork belly bao buns on the other hand are deliciously good!!!

Beef noodle soup broth is thick and rich, beef slices are tender and juicy. Duck noodle soup broth is light and bland. I will definitely stick for their sushi on my next visit.“

“Decent sushi option in Downtown.

First tried this place years ago through a catered event, and the sushi quality back then was pretty underwhelming, so I never felt the need to return. Recently, while looking for a quick takeout option around Downtown Crossing, I decided to give it another shot.

As a rule of thumb, for spots that focus heavily on takeout and delivery, I stick to maki rolls rather than nigiri. This time, I ordered the Black Pearl Boy roll and the Crazy Tuna maki, and both were solid. Not on par with some of the more popular sushi spots, but fresh enough and well-balanced.

The vibe was also cozier than I expected. Booth seating and counter spots, with Ghibli music playing in the background, gave it a relaxed feel. If you’re looking for a casual sushi dinner downtown without high expectations, this works.“
