50 Best Sushi Bars near Lexington

“Pros - It's an fantastic dining experience. You will be amazed by the chef's delicious and inventive flavor combinations. The foie gras course the end of the dinner will haunt your dreams. Con - you will never want to eat sushi at any other restaurant. Every bite will have you thinking "sure, this is fine, but it's no Akame."“

“Fresh, clean and authentic. Incredible menu. You won't be disappointed.“

“As close to an authentic omakase experience as it gets outside of Japan. The quality of the food (texture + flavor) as well as the presentation were all mind blowing. Service was also great. Dan was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu, being able to give a detailed description about each item he was asked about. I’m definitely coming back!“

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

“Delicious Enmi ramen! First time seeing a citrusy yuzu-based ramen on a menu, and it was yummmy! Our server Justin was also so warm and welcoming, subbing the broth out for a vegan one. And the atmosphere is so cozy and intimate, will be back the next time we're in Boston for sure!“

“Great food and great service“

“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!“

“Sakana Sushi is excellent! The fish bowl was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and the presentation makes it even better. Great food, great service, and an overall fantastic dining experience!“

“Very tasty food, great service. No reservations, first come first serve. Prices are not super inexpensive but it is worth the cost. We were only grabbing a snack as we had some commitment afterward. Only pitty is that it is difficult to share bites if you are like me and want to try it all. I guess we will have to come back! 😜
My favorite was the shrimp tempura, but the eel was great too.“

“Really really good sushi but the seating is 6 tiny seats in total downstairs and it is incredibly cramped. This place is ill-suited for dine-in. If i am ever back in this city i'd probably pickup sushi from this place and eat somewhere else. Also they do not let you drink alcohol inside the establishment which is a strange rule.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“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 was so excited when we were going to go here.as soon as I tried the food I loved it.i liked the sushi because the sushi was just the right size and the noodles were really good because the sauce made them so juicy.lastly I loved the Japanese soda. From Polina 🩷“

“This place is awesome. I avoided it for a long time because I thought it was just overpriced instagram-gimmicky items like donuts/tacos. Wrong. In fact, there is delicious sushi of all sorts at a great price. For something unique, try the salmon mini bowl, it's fantastic.“

“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.“

“What a cute restaurant with delicious food! It's a bit unassuming from the outside along a busy street, but Fin's has a bright, open atmosphere inside. We enjoyed lunch on a late Sunday afternoon and highly recommend the beef fried rice, Chirashi sushi bowl, and the tuna poke bowl. The poke bowl was a unique and deliciously fun surprise with strawberries, mango, and avocado. The bowls came with miso soup, and everything was fresh and yummy. Great find in a busy neighborhood and close to 95.“

“We live in Winchester, and we have ordered takeout at Umi Sushi twice now. The sushi, the entire order has been extremely fresh, well-packaged, and just delicious. Umi Sushi will be our 'go-to' going forward. The staff are all friendly and responsive. It's a home run for people who love fresh sushi and a local setting.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent salmon bento box!“

“Loved the food, the service, great place 🙌🏼“

“Stayed at hilton near restaurant. The building is nice. Inside is really nice and clean. Staff was really good and very friendly. Food we all got was amazing. Crab ragoon, yellow curry, pork ribs, spicy tuna, and tonkatsu was delicious. I highly recommend this place if near by.“

“Visited this jazz and Asian restaurant for first time. Food was great with a wide selections of sushi, soups, and fusion dishes. The service was fast and very effective. The main addition was the four piece local jazz band. All four musicians were enjoyable to listen to and played a wide array of selections and styles.
Next time in Boston I will try to visit the Mad Monkfish again.
Enjoyed the wide mix of people. It's great how music bring people together.“

“One of the best sushi spots in town. True hole in the wall in Allston/brighton. The owner is the sweetest man, the sushi is always FRESH and delicious. And the miso soup!?? Perfect. I always come here when I need some sushi. Great price for the incredible quality. Would recommend over and over again.“

“Sushi Man is a restaurant with a long history in the Newton area, first being located in a smaller area right off of Route 9 before moving to their current location a few years ago.

The staff are really friendly and make the food quite quickly, reminds me of the service we used to get in the past.

The food was of good quality and how I remember it. It does tend to be on the expensive side for these meals, but was still pretty good and tasted well. The sushi was fresh, with good rice to fish ratio and presented well. The udon had a good broth that went well with the noodles, and had some toppings and sides that were crisp and tasty.“

“José and his crew always serve beautiful, fresh, delicious sushi with innovative flair! The newly designed space is stylish and comfortable.“

“As always an excellent meal! Mike makes great sushi, and kitchen chefs do great things as well. Its one of our regular places.“

“We have ordered takeout from Wasabi multiple times a month for years, and the food is consistently delicious and high quality. The rice is tender, fish is fresh, tempura is crunchy and not greasy, avocado is perfectly ripe, spicy rolls are not overly stuffed with panko. We used to live down the road, but even after moving 15min away we can’t find any place that beats Wasabi - it remains our go to!“

“This was one of the BEST omakase experiences I have ever had. The attention to detail was extraordinary. I ate at several two and three star Michelin restaurants last summer in France and I was happier with my dining experience at Umami. The quality of ingredients is absolutely stellar and it is truly a treat for all the senses. Go!!“

“Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating.

The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid.

Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty.

The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings.

The vegetable mazesoba (vegan) included tofu soboro, mix of corn, quinoa, red pickles, and other goodies. It was a lighter flavor and we appreciated the opportunity to order the truffle oil on the side.

Overall, recommended for a casual and pleasant dinner among family and friends. The food quality and atmosphere make this hidden gem a great choice.“

“Good food. Good atmosphere. Good people“

“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“

“genki ya is one of my favorite sushi spots!! the food is always super fresh, the rolls are perfectly made, and the portions are really generous for the price. the staff is always so kind and fast too, it just feels like they actually care about the customers. everything tastes clean and consistent every time i go. if you love sushi, you’ll love genki ya:)“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

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

“Came here to try the new bubble tea line. The new favors were brown sugar, ube milk, Thai milk and matcha milk . We also grabbed the Fenway special and spicy Hawaiian. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The drinks were all Delicious. They came with matcha boba balls and brown sugar boba balls. My favorite definitely the ube milk. The Fenway Special was so spectacular. All the ingredients just went well together. The spicy mayo was definitely clutch on it. The spicy Hawaiian was a well balance of flavors and textures. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny for the quality. Definitely, will be back to get my poke bowl fix.“

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

“Great food! Amazing lunch specials! Too much food I had to take home leftovers“

“Definitely some of the freshest and tastiest seafood and innovative sushi and asian food I've had in a while, very fresh and tasty!“

“I created my own bowl with spicy tuna and salmon, and I tried the volcano sauce. The volcano sauce packs some heat, which I love. Great variety of toppings to choose from and also multiple kinds of seaweed--which I also love. Good price for the portion, IMO, and everything was very fresh. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a top-notch poke bowl.“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“One of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to in Boston.

Walked in on a Saturday evening around 8PM without a reservation. We were able to snag a table without a wait, but the place filled up pretty fast. Just like some of the best cocktail bars in the city, this spot knows how to weave savory notes into their drinks without overwhelming them. Almost everything we tried was excellent. Refined, inventive, and layered (except for Bangkok to Mumbai).

Kingston to Milan – Our favorite of the night. Essentially Negroni + passionfruit, but with a surprisingly creamy, savory finish. The smoothness likely came from Castelvetrano olives (with that signature mild and buttery note), but it almost evoked the yogurt-based cocktails that were once trendy in Seoul.

Amalfi to La Paz – A close second. Not a typical tomato-basil cocktail. Instead, the sweet basil cream and cacao combined into a rich, nutty, and savory aftertaste. It gave espresso martini vibes but with subtle vegetal undertones from the tomato.

Rio to Tokyo – In the same flavor family as Kingston to Milan, but with a milder savory profile. Notes of miso and coconut gradually emerged, which made it more interesting toward the finish than the start. Grew on me with each sip.

Bangkok to Mumbai – Seemed to be the most popular order around us, but the trio of mango cordial, jackfruit, and Calpico created an overly sweet, one-dimensional drink. No balance, no clarity, just an overpriced mango juice.

Lemongrass Chicken Dumplings – Solid bar snack. Nicely perfumed with lemongrass, but the chicken filling wasn’t very prominent. With only four snack options on the menu, this felt like the safest pick.“

“My partner and I eat here once or twice a month and last night’s meal was exceptionally good. They’re our local little sushi shop and we’ve found the rolls that are consistently good (spicy tuna and salmon/avocado), and we get a combo each and feel super happy with our soup, salad, roll, and drink for a good price :) service is also great“

“Other than the cafeteria being full on weekends, this place is my favorite. They cook very well and ingredients are fresh. I order the bento and the level of detail is phenomenal. this is the tastiest food I've ever had and will always be coming here as long as I'm alive. The prices keep going up so I hope they calm down. The best time to come is during the week.“

“Great food and great service“

“Food is great, service is great. Everyone is super nice. Clean. Sushi is not skimpy sized. Every time I go I have trouble keeping my order down to what I can eat, and I can eat a lot. Whenever I'm in the area I make sure to come here. Definitely recommend“
