50 Best Sushi Bars near Lexington

“Hands down THE MOST creative omakase I've ever been to. The chef literally takes imported fresh, authentic fish from Japan and pushes the boundaries with them in unthinkable yet genius ways.

Every piece he delivers is a masterpiece. He brilliantly hits different ratios of sweet/savory and intentionally incorporates variety in texture in literally everything he serves up. This man can COOK.

I would like to add that I have never been a fan of uni, but the chef changed my mind on that real quick. That's crazy. It was actually one of my favorite pieces from the whole set.

I would also like to add that one of the courses was a plate of multiple slices of perfectly cooked, geniusly assembled wagyu. That blew my mind. It was the best form of wagyu I've ever had, and I was so glad we got a small plate of it instead of one slice. Each piece assimilated into my tongue and gave me a sample of heaven. Praise the Lord for that.

The meal tastefully ended with two dessert courses. Bravo. I love dessert. Both of them went NUTS. Both were the best desserts I've ever had at any omakase, but I personally loved the second to last the most. Think of like a rice crispy, but give it an Asian twist, then level it up and evolve it all the way like your favorite Pokémon. Seriously, I wish I had an elf in my brain taking notes on each dish for me because they were so unique that I couldn't even comprehend how to describe the flavors more concretely right now.

The establishment was clean, simple, yet very homey —like if you had an uncle who turned his kitchen into an omakase joint. The chef was so very kind and sweet. He was great at making conversation and making you feel seen on a more personal level, which is way more than I can say for most places. Mind you, although it was a 6 seater, he was still a one man team —and he executed everything perfectly in a timely manner amidst the friendly convo. Just impressive. A gem among gems and a MUST try. Please, somebody just give this man some Michelin stars already.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 was a fabulous experience for our family. In addition to the good food, the service was so thoughtful. The waiter was very kind about me having young children and offered great options and service accordingly. I felt very welcomed and catered to.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“grabbed a takeout box for $18 and it was really good! the maki was generously filled and the nigiri were fresh and delicious. all the nigiri are paired with a small dot of a unique garnish which elevated them - i do wish there was more of the garnish on each piece to better appreciate the flavour pairings. would eat again!“

“My girlfriend and I originally stopped in for a quick snack, and we ended up staying for dinner because everything was that good. I got the brown sugar boba milk tea, and she got an ice cream with cute little decorations—it looked great and tasted even better. I was impressed that the boba came in a reusable can with the restaurant’s logo on it. I actually took it home, washed it out, and put it on my shelf because it looked so nice.

Both times we came in, the person at the front was super kind and welcoming. It was two different people, but both were genuinely friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. It added a really nice touch to the whole experience.

After walking around Cambridge a bit, we realized we didn’t feel like eating anywhere else—we came right back and ordered shrimp tempura sushi and more boba. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Everything we had tasted great.

Prices are on the higher side, but that’s expected in Cambridge. The portions could be a bit bigger, but the quality definitely makes up for it. No complaints at all—great staff, great food, and a cozy vibe. We’re definitely coming back soon!“

“I was there with some friends before a concert. This isn’t the first time I’ve been to symphony sushi. The service is always a little too fast for my liking. Like the apps come out 5 minutes before the mains so you don’t have any time. But over all I’ve never had bad food here. Everything I’ve gotten here has been excellent“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and good service. The staff seemed very friendly however even though the place was empty, I had to look for help. No biggie for me; just reflecting in this review. The place was clean and decorated nicely. There was parking which helped. I would definitely return if I were in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A literally hidden gem on the busy Harvard Street. Nestled in the basement level of a red building, this seemingly suspicious looking place is actually packed with a friendly environment, good food, and good service. I came in with low expectations and was very much surprised.

From my photos, I ordered the patriot roll, black dragon roll, tornado maki, and fried softshell crab. It all tasted delicious. VERY delicious. The sauces that came with the special sushi rolls are supreme and they were packed with ingredients. Pricing was as expected and for some strange reason their canned Coca-Cola tasted really good too.

Only caveat is that this restaurant only accepts cash but they have an ATM.“

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

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

“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.“

“I stopped by this place on a Sunday afternoon. It was the first warm day in a while so we were the only patrons in the restaurant.
For a tiny place, it sure packs a punch. The sushi and rolls we ordered were so wonderful. The fish was so fresh and delicious. Service was kind and friendly. If you are in the neighborhood, definitely stop in.“

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

“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!!“

“Some of the best take-out lunch sushi you can get in the area, which is saying something given the concentration of Japanese food in Porter.

While there is no seating, the quality is high for the price point, and delivery options abound.“

“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.

“Good food. Good atmosphere. Good people“

“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!“

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

“We visited this sushi restaurant and were absolutely delighted! The sushi was delicious, fresh, and beautifully served. Our order arrived very quickly, and the service was polite and attentive. The dining area was clean and cozy — a very pleasant atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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“

“Great sushi, good portions. Fresh fish. Family atmosphere and good service.“

“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.“

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

“Great food with gluten free options!“

“I like to go with friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I go their often. This recommendation is always successful. The the food there is fantastic and the stuff is generous and cooperative. always when we eat in this place we pass a pleasing time. warmly recommended.“

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

“I did not think they had the biggest selection but it was good and love the strawberry lemonade refresher with boba. And it was also a bit pricey. I liked the atmosphere and it was really clean and a pretty nice building and it’s around a good area with a bus stop right outside. I recommend building your own poke bowl and getting a drink because they are all good. Also the vegetables are very fresh.

Kid-friendliness: They were nice“

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

“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.“

“I often take my friends to this place with my warmest recommendations. I visit this place often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are yummy and the crew is efficient and cooperative. always when we go to this place we have a pleasing evening. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“This is a great restaurant to meet friends and family for dinner in Davis Square - excellent food and calm and quiet enough for conversation. I especially love the vegetarian sushi combo (replacing the veggie dragon roll with veggie delight roll). My family members have enjoyed the veggie tempura, yellowtail sushi, salmon teriyaki and more. The miso soup and edamame are better than most places too.“

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

“Most if not all of the bad reviews of this place have to do with the owner at the cash register who doesn’t speak good English and has a short temper with guests. While I have personally had 0 issues with her, I can understand peoples complaints. If you accept and respect her as a given with ordering then there really isn’t much else to complain about. The sushi is the cheapest you will find in the state for the quality in which they make it. Quality is between super market and restaurant level but for less than super market price. I highly recommend as long as you have the right expectations.“

“An amazing sushi restaurant with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a wide variety of options. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the service is quick and efficient. Every time I dine here, it’s a fantastic experience. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful, and the flavors are consistently outstanding. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi or is looking for a great dining experience!“
