“Stopped by looking for high quality sushi and was not disappointed. Although they were out of O-Toro, seeing the disappointment on my face the host graciously gave us kama toro on the house. Aside from the awesome customer service, the sushi quality was exquisite with a wider variety and personal touches that are hard to find outside of Japan. Will definitely be coming back here, the next time we are in the area!“
“WOWOW a must go in Boston. This place does not disappoint. Literally everything was delicious. All the appetizers were fried to perfection with a light tasting batter. The curry beef udon was SO GOOD. Savory and delicious. The curry taste was perfect, not overbearing. The udon was cooked well, not too soft nor hard. The kanten dessert was a nice and light dessert. Not too sweet. The decor inside is adorable. The flowers and banners really make a difference. It was a lil spot that made me feel like I was jumping into Japan. Service was fast. We didn't have to wait too long for our group of 6. Very accommodating. If you make a reservation, make sure to be on time. They are strict which is understandable because it's a small space. Super great! If you are in Boston, you gotta try this place!!“
“The truffle Mac and cheese and No 9 Truffle salt ramen were delicious! I ordered these online to be delivered to my hotel room and it came right to my door and in sustainable mostly paper packaging (no styrofoam!). Would eat here again!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Vegan“
“O Ya was a place I've been trying to get to for 3-4 years. On an episode of the youtube series Hot Ones where celebs eat progressively hotter wings Salma Hayek proclaimed O Ya as her favorite restaurant. When I heard it was a restaurant in Boston I knew I had to try it. Each piece was creatively constructed and layered with complimentary flavors. Pictured here is the entire 20 course omakase plus 1 extra (the umi toast). If you look at the image of the menu and zoom in there are additional items you can add to your courses. I asked the waiter if I went with just one what does he suggest and he said the umi toast and I'm happy he did. The umi toast was a crispy tangent that I really appreciated. There is a steep price tag to eat here, but you will be here for 2-2.5 hours so I think of it more like an edible art show. I had an amazing time here and I hope you do as well.Vegetarian options: My wife got the vegetarian omakase of 20 pieces and if I get back here sometime I want to try it. They put just as much effort into the vegetarian menu as they do the regular one. My wife was also really impressed with 99% of the vegetarian menu. The crushed ice shisho leaf was the one piece that wasn't her style, but I tasted it from her dish and thought it was delicious.“
“Overall loved the sushi, the wait staff, and the experience. It was a little darker than what I would have wanting in terms of lighting. But other than that would book again for sure. The sushi was so good. And our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable.“
“Hands down the best sushi in Boston! UNI has quickly earned its place as my go-to for celebratory dinners with my partner. Fantastic place to impress a date or family with a cool and fun atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming service ties this delicious experience together. We can't wait to go back!“
“I highly recommend the salmon dumpling, the first bite was really amazed. There were only 3 dumplings, and, my friend and I were two people. But the waiter was kind enough to give one more, just so we could share it evenly. The sea urchin soba noodles and oysters were really great as appetizers.“
“Last weekend, my partner and I decided to explore the much-raved-about Fuji at Ink Block in Boston's vibrant South End. Let me just say, the experience was nothing short of spectacular, surpassing our expectations in every possible way.We started with the Edamame Truffle Dumplings, which were absolutely divine, offering a burst of flavors that left us eagerly anticipating what was to come. For our main course, we opted for the Chef's Selection Sushi and the Black Cod Miso. Each sushi piece was a work of art, fresh and full of flavor, demonstrating the chef's skill and attention to detail. The Black Cod Miso was simply sublime, with the fish perfectly cooked, flaky, and infused with a delicate balance of sweetness and umami.“
“First of all, I can't believe we waited so long to go back to this place, since we live less than half a mile away. This is such a unique place in Chinatown, with very creative (and well made) cocktails and a menu for just about anyone's palate. After seeing a segment on TV, I really wanted to try the burger and it might be one of the top 5 burgers I've ever had (and I have had thousands). The Bao bun is just so good, as was the sauce and the pickles. Top it off with a side of duck fat fries and you have the perfect burger. We were there on a Monday night around 6:45 and the place was packed. The bar too. No pictures but I wish I had. Will definitely be back to try more of the menus.“
“Deluxe Sashimi Platter ⭐️ It was great! It's really fresh and there are a lot of varieties, except for the sea urchin, which is a bit fishy Octopus Carpaccio ⭐️ The seasoning is very refreshing and the octopus is very chewy, I love it Torched Japanese Scallop ⭐️ It was very light, I couldn't really taste the seasoning, but it was very tender Unagi Don ⭐️ A friend ordered this. Gyu Don + Onsen Egg ⭐️ The beef is very juicy and the onsen egg is very flavorful“
“As hibachi / teppanyaki restaurants go, this is primo. The sushi was superb too.Parking: It's not super obvious from the street, look for the sign. The door is where it looks like, take the elevator to the second floor for the restaurant.“
“Such a good quaint gem. The broth was perfect - it was so good that we came back for other dishes. The Cha Sui Don was the best I’ve had in a long time! Service was with a smile and efficiency. How good was the food? It was the so good you ate too fast and but your inner cheek type! Shall be back.“
“J and J is my families new spot for Asain tasty treats. Jean is a fantastic owner. She makes you feel like family from the time you enter the establishment. Sushi was fresh and delicious. They even made a special chicken tempura roll for my wife and added it to their POS ordering system for future visits. We call it the Elisabet roll named after my wife of course. My kids smashed every morsel of food on their plates which is especially rare for my picky 6 year old daughter who just loved her fried rice and Salmon. Kids meals are adult size so it's a great value . I had two Scorpion ? Bowls which got me feeling pretty lively. I imagine moving forward we will be doning weekly at J & J . Jean and staff thanks for the wonderful time.Blessings,Phillips Family“

“OK but like this is where you can get Omakasa without paying $200 and wait for a month for it!!I absolutely love the Omakasa here because it came with Uni, miso soup, rice, seaweed for handmade maki, various salt flavoring, and everything was super fresh. It was 79$ for my portion and I love it. So worth it!“
“If you're seeking an authentic sushi experience in South Boston, Sushi Moka is unparalleled. Beyond its fresh offerings, what sets it apart is the personal touch. Every visit feels like a reunion; the staff not only remembers your face but also your favorite dishes. This level of recognition and attention to detail makes dining here truly memorable and authentic.“
“My boyfriend and I just went here and split a few sushi rolls and the chicken Kara age. All of the food was really delicious, might be the best kara age I’ve ever had, and their lunch menu pricing is really reasonable. Our waitress was really nice and all the food came out quickly.“
“Very traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine served in a classic traditional setting. Most importantly the raw fish was extremely fresh and authentically sourced and prepared. They’d a raw octopus appetizer which was delicate and delicious, the sweet shrimp was super sweet, and the baby yellowtail was like butter. The uni from Maine was more like sweet Japanese uni and better tasting than San Diego uni. The hamachi kama was a treat and huge. This is as good as best sushi in Tokyo and very fresh and authentic, yet unbeatable prices especially for Boston.“
“Everything was awesome! The staff was friendly and punctual. This is an excellent low-key kinda place (food served on paper plates). There were contanst orders ready to be picked up. I highly recommend this restaurant, plenty of options to satisfy all palettes.“
“This is a definite 'must visit' restaurant! The atmosphere is beautiful- it's sleek, stylish and modern. But, the food is the real reason to eat here. Amazing! Flavorful! Well presented! And so fresh! Just straight up yummy! It does get pretty busy so there were times we were waiting for our server. I'd say it was worth the wait though.“
“I love and adore this place. Yes, it's very much a hole in the wall, and yes it really doesn't have much seating. You'll probably have a better experience here if you order for takeout as most people do.But the sushi here is legit. And the prices really cannot be beat. I'm forever a loyal customer if they keep these prices.“
“This is my go to sushi spot. If you're looking for a specialty roll, you need to try the sakura. Hands down the best roll I've ever had. The restraunt is extremely clean and warm. The staff are welcoming, and there is often a pianist playing some music.“
“The first time I tried Taiyaki NYC was in NY, of course, but the quality for the Boston location is the same. Very picturesque desserts that will satisfy a sweet craving. I got the unicorn and matcha sesame, which were both tasty. They taste especially good when the taiyaki cone is fresh and warm, but be sure to eat it quick in the summer if you want to avoid a sticky mess!“
“They ALWAYS do such a great job with the quality, quantity and presentation of their food. Not to mention, their customer service is always top notch! We had a Christmas party and they kindly arranged the sushi on two big platters for us and also made sure the Uber Eats driver knew to be careful with our order because the sushi could easily move around inside the platters before it reached our house. I’ve never had a bad experience or meal from here. A regular customer for life!“
“I've done take out from this place a few times now through a catering app for my job and this place never fails. Despite the large orders it gets, my food has always come on time and with great flavor. I'm not adventurous when it comes to sushi, rather I'm very basic. I have ordered the lunch combo with the crispy onion roll, crunchy shrimp roll, and shrimp dumplings and I've also tried the spicy shrimp tempura and edamame. My favorite has been the onion roll because of the crispy onions on top that provide so much flavor and the crunchy and fresh cucumber. The shrimp in my sushi has always been crispy and the rice is sticky, not hard. The only disappointment has been that the spicy shrimp tempura roll is not spicy but you can fix that with some sriracha. The edamame has a fresh taste.“
“Food is SO FRESH. It’s definitely makes the list for the top 3 sushi restaurants in town! This deserves a 4.9/5 star at the lowest. It’s perfect. AND ITS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE win win win. Thank you so much Kame.Vegetarian options: Vege sushi is amazing“
“If you haven’t eaten here you certainly should, it’s a hidden gem with the best dumplings I have ever tasted. The lady who owns and runs it is a fantastic personality and a joy to see for every short occasion. I would have posted a photo to show how perfectly crisp they are but I ate them before I thought to post and ate them far too quickly. The homemade dumpling sauce is such a compliment. Highly recommend going out of your way to make it here for the times it’s open you wouldn’t regret it.“
“writing from my hotel bed in a food coma right now. need to digest. i had shishito peppers, sashimi, house salad, miso soup - all were made gluten free. i was a little nervous reading the reviews but honestly i had no issue with gluten free availability. they were able to make some specialty roles gluten free but i stuck to the traditional maki and nigiri. we also got some tuna on fire and oh my it was like melt in your mouth salty and good. can't forget the bananas fosters. was also to be made gluten free. waiter was extremely attentive and helpful!“
“Nice little restaurant/bar off rt1 my son brought me here and I have to say I was amazed at how good the food was and at night they do karaoke ? where you can sing right from your seat it was so much fun I would Definitely Recommend checking it out with your friends for a fun night out uou won't be disappointed we had a blast and the food and service was great really friendly and good people. I will definitely be returning.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“I can not say enough how much I love Sushi Corner . There food is absolutely amazing. I have tried a number of things there and its always delicious and fresh! The individuals that work there are so nice and so helpful on recommendations. The tall man that works the front, love him! He is so extremely nice. I highly recommend this place if you want delicious, fresh, amazing food.“
“This is literally the best Chinese food restaurant in Massachusetts. Food is 5/5 - both Chinese & Sushi. Service is 5/5, Drinks are 5/5. The only negative is that it's so popular you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait!“
“Absolutely my favorite place around here for chicken teriyaki or sushi! Really hits the spot for fresh salmon sashimi and chicken teriyaki sauce is delicious. The bubble tea is great here too. Very fresh and everything tastes great every time I come! Only suggestion is to add more tables inside so people can sit and eat!“
“We had our anniversary dinner here as it was one of our first date spot dinner places as the restaurant opened in 2019. The experience and food did not disappoint.We had the signature omasake, with some cocktails. Each plate was prepared with care and attention and we loved every single bite.Thank you all for the service!“
“Overall a great experience and a great place for kids. Took our two boys here (4 and 9) and they loved it. The food for me was OK but too much salt and soy so everything tasted the same. Have eaten better Hibachi before, but this is still a good place and again great for kidsKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu that includes hibachi stuff for kids.“
“Stumbled upon this sushi place while wandering the Boston streets and found ourselves in the North End. The drinks were STRONG and were in very large vessels which I think were worth my money. Sushi was also pretty good. I'm not really particular but the sushi came out pretty quickly and it was yummy. Loved it. Ambience of the place was chill. Their bathroom is very clean. I'd come again!“
“Tried it while in the area based on Yelp reviews. Got the springs rolls and pan fried dumplings as appetizers. The spring rolls were okay not great. The pan fried dumplings were really good. for entrees we got the Vegetarian Delight, the Basil Chicken with eggplant in Garlic sauce, and Chicken in black bean sauce. The vegetables in the Delight were excellent, the sauce was one of those sort of Chinese American white sauces that I am not really a fan of but was still decent. The Basil chicken dish was quite tasty, really good sauce and the eggplant was really, really good. The chicken in black bean was a simple but excellent dish. The serving dishes might have seemed cool in concept but perhaps had a flaw in actual use because they seemed to have a tendency to easily overflow due to design that has weakness on either end. Simple order at the counter and they bring to your table in the small dining room. Seems to be primarily a take out place but the dining room was clean and the service to the table good. They checked in on us. Bathroom was nice and clean.“
“You cannot go wrong ordering from here. It’s definitely a take-out place even though there are technically tables inside. The food is good for the price and reasonable/good portions compared to a few competitors in the area that cost a lot more. When I want sushi, I always prefer to order from here instead of the other restaurants that are nicer in terms of ambiance.“
“Located near gate C19, it’s a great place to grab a quick meal during layovers. I got the Shojonator Burger with Fries and it’s pretty good. The portion isn’t huge but that’s a good thing (specifically in this case) because it wouldn’t make you feel too bloated during your next flight.“
“Standard Japanese restaurant for you to stop by. The vibe was not very "Japanese", but could get away in the Asian theme in general. They offer variety of dishes that you would find from a Japanese restaurant, curry, noodles, katsu, sushi, sashimi, nigiri etc.The sushi/sashimi plate I ordered was ok. Some of the served fish were in room temperature leaning toward the warmer side, which is a bit unsatisfied, however, their textures and freshness were good, no bad smell or squishy texture.Rice was reasonably seasoned to what you expected.The price was a bit high in my opinion (~$35 net per plate), but not too high that you cant bring friends over.The restroom was clean.The waiter/waitress were very active. Small note: they took my plate and cheque my table right away when I put down my chopsticks, even though no line or anything (I was the only customer at the time) I was genuinely going to get a dessert, but maybe for another time :)“
“This review is for takeout. The online order menu is not helpful for identifying gluten-free items, but the person on the phone was very knowledgeable and helpful. They packaged my sushi separately and offered gluten-free soy sauce. Everyone was happy with their food. I really liked the spicy tuna and the fatty tuna rolls.“
“The food was the best East Asian food I’ve had in Boston!! The wontons, dumplings, popcorn shrimp and ribs were incredible!! Will definitely be coming back.Travis attended us and was the best service that I’ve had in a long time! 12/10!“
“Visited on NYE before the foreworks and this place provided a great opportunity to rest before the main event. However, what surprised me was how good the Shrimp noodle tasted, probably the best I ever had and I had to order again, forcing my friends to order round two too ?. Definitely recommend the shrimps.“
“My sister and I are both vegan and we’re extremely happy with not only the quality and taste of the food, but also our wonderful server. She was very thoughtful making sure our food was vegan and explaining the portion sizes to us. We left stuffed full of yummy food and a smile on our faces. A must eat!Dietary restrictions: Vegan options“
“Absolutely delicious sushi. Super well put together. I did order from a delivery service, and they did a decent job with a timely delivery. But the quality of the sushi I received was top notch. The spicy salmon roll was just the right amount of spice and not drowning in sauce. The nigiri was meaty and super soft. I will actually go to this restaurant next time I’m in the city… instead of delivery. A+ on food quality!!!“
“I LOVE SYMPHONY SUSHI. This is one of my go to spots to eat at and bring family/friends to. The food is always 10/10 and super reliable. The waiters are so nice and attentive. They also recognize their regular costumers. The space is very nice and they are always playing nice music. Even when they are busy the wait time is not long because they are very efficient.“
“The most amazing ramen I have ever had! I loved it so much the broth was so rich bold and delicious. I went with family and we all loved our food. My mom lit up the moment she ate it. We had an amazing time. The waiters were very attentive and funny too. Had a delightful time.“
“Great ambience, located a five minute walk from Kendall T station. We went at 7ish and it was starting to get packed, but the service was great--they had a lot of cocktail and alcohol options that seemed delicious, we just didn't happen to try any. Highlight of dinner was definitely the spicy salmon maki. Salmon was incredibly fatty and delicious, definitely high quality. We also ordered the Tempura maki, popcorn shrimp and Agedashi Tofu. While the agedashi tofu and tempura maki were alright, the popcorn shrimp is definitely a must try. The coating is flaky and light, and the shrimp tasted fresh and bouncy. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!“
“I’ve ordered from this place numerous times, take outs & Grubhub, and food was GREAT every single time. I’ve tried other places for ramen/udon but none like this, the broth is delicious & savory. Orders are always well packaged with good quality. The owner is very nice & sweet as well. Give this place a try!P.S. Their Takoyaki is a MUST TRY btw!“
“I ordered delivery for just me - perfect. Fresh, delicious, good portions, and reasonably priced. And, LOVE that you can get individual servings of seaweed, edamame, or spring rolls for only 3 bucks! Other places give you a bigger portion (enough for 2) but charge triple that. I filled up on $30 … almost unheard of for high quality sushi. Highly recommend, especially if you’re ordering solo.“
“Deena wings , Black Label maki, and filet mignon tips will blow your mind! Great atmosphere! Great service! Sometimes you wanna go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You wanna be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name“
“The new Lynnfield location is within walking distance of my office. The food is great. Everything I’ve tried from the menu has been delicious. My favorite (so far) is the Hunan chicken. Spicy without being too hot, and loaded with crunchy vegetables and generous slices of chicken. The counter staff is very friendly and the prices are good. Will absolutely be returning over and over.“
