“Every sushi was delicious! The flavor was unique and interesting. You can feel the texture contrast of each sushi, and the various flavors of each sushi are singing harmoniously in your mouth! The dessert was amazing and the sake pairing was good as well!“

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

“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.“

“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! 🇯🇵“

“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. 🍣❤️“

“This mazesoba was the best meal my family and I had on our short trip to Massachusetts!! The bowls themselves were gorgeous, and the noodles were perfect to match. The decor of the restaurant is also very beautiful and inviting. The vegan mazesoba is amazing, a must try if you’re in the area and looking for a filling meal!“

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

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“This place was fantastic, the sushi was excellent with quality fish, the vibe was chill, and there was a lot of gluten free options for my mom who is celiac. The value for the price was insane and the service was top notch. Kevin was super nice and helped us with the gluten free situation.“

“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! ❤️“

“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!“

“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!!“

“I ate here twice this week while on a business trip. The food is excellent, but a light bulb was flickering on Sunday and was still strobe-lighting my dinner on Tuesday. It was annoying to dine under—I don’t know how the staff hasn’t gone crazy.“

“Great food and great service“

“I’m truly impressed by the thoughtfulness and quality of food given the price point. This is better than those expensive omakase in Boston I’ve ever tried.

One comment - the sauce for eel hand roll is way too sweet & heavy - and it covered the natural umami flavor of the fish. Besides this, great experience!“

“Genuinely don’t understand why this place is empty save for my family when we come in - The waiters are attentive, and the food and milk tea are both spectacular. They offer a lot more options than most sushi restaurants as well! Seems like a really lovely family business and I would definitely recommend.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“A wonderful little Japanese restaurant! You can sit at the counter and watch the sushi chef prepare everything right in front of you, which feels just like being in Japan. There are also four dedicated parking spaces next to the restaurant, which is very convenient.

Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious, and the unagi don was especially authentic. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great Japanese food!“

“When I saw the reviews for Wasabi at Porter I assumed they hired bots...
They did NOT hire bots.
They are THAT good!!!!!!!!

The food was amazing, and the tiny metal tray (for soy/wasabi) was a nice touch! This place deserves their 5-stars! New Customer = Regular Customer Now!“

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

“AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE!! The Mongolian Beef is incredible!!!!“

“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.“

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

“5 stars! My favorite ramen! I just love coming here for the spicy sesame and visiting with the super sweet owner :)“

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

“We had a wonderful experience at Sakura. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. One of the highlights of the meal was the sushi boat, it arrived looking like a work of art and offered a great variety of sushi and rolls, all incredibly fresh and well prepared. It’s perfect for sharing.
The shrimp fried rice was also excellent, perfectly cooked with great flavor and generous portions.
The ambiance is just okay, but the overall service was very attentive and friendly. Sakura is a great spot for delicious sushi and a relaxed casual dinner.“

“Food was great as usual. Sometimes an ingredient doesn’t show up (like mandarin oranges last night) but the flavors are great. The price is reasonable. Customization options are plentiful. Only problem last night was it took more than an hour to be delivered and we live 5 minutes away. (And no, we couldn’t get to the restaurant).“

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

“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:)“

“Good food. Good atmosphere. Good people“

“Basho is an incredible restaurant. The black cod is the best I’ve had and I have been around the world twice. I love your soup. The miso ramen is incredible the right amount of tofu spice and noodle makes it so delectable anything that ails you it will cure. The shrimp fried rice had nearly a dozen large shrimp in it the taste was sublime and full of vegetable, completely disheveled for easy consumption.. the pork Gyoza was just a vine, and the sauce that came with it was not salty, but added just the right amount of zippy flavor. Their cocktails are amazing and go without saying that they’re inventive and delicious as well as refreshing and light……. As always, I would will return to Basho even after these five years, it is one of the best restaurants in the fenway, and it is a must visit.!!!!!“

“We always get your maki combo which is a great mix of flavors and appreciate your flexibility with my soy intolerance! Delivery was also really prompt and low price for the neighborhood.

Dietary restrictions: Were great with substitutions for a soy intolerance.“

“Great sushi Great service“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!“

“While riding my unicycle and searching for a really good place to try some sushi my wheel pointed me into the direction of this great little hidden jewel. There's always room for improvement in any restaurant or environment of food services. I gave this blossom 5 stars across the board. Every aspect of service, presentation, courtesy, cleanliness, decorum, food freshness, quality, and I could keep going on. If they were to try and improve, it could possibly hurt them. They are just simply excellent. Thank you for the great experience. One wheel at a time 👍🏼.
