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

“Recently had lunch here for the first time and it was soooooo good. Delicious food, warm ambience and really nice staff.“

“This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for a decade. It’s convenient, fast, and immaculate. The sushi is made right in front of you and has always been fresh and delicious. I’ve gone there on date night and I’ve had office parties there and it’s always been awesome. As good as the food is, the staff is better. Especially Tiffany who does everything here including cooking, taking orders, bartending, and making everyone feel like their family. The first time I went there she waited on our table. 6 months later I came back for the second time. She it only remembered my name, she also remembered every dish we’d ordered the first time. I wish I could give Tiffany and Sei Bar 10 stars.“

“Do not expect something fancy here but delicious sushi and reasonable price. Clean. Attentive staff, they know exactly what they are doing. All you can eat deal was great. No parking lot but easy to find a street parking. Would definitely return when in town.

Update review

The previous review was in 2021. And I have still been Nijiya’s regular…. until recently. Sushi buffet is very challenging concept between quality and the price. If the quality meets the price, then customers repeat visits. I appreciate Nijiya every visit and do not intend to leave a bad review. However, upon recent visits, the fishes were cut as if they were ready to throw into a pond to feed other fishes. They were plated carelessly. I lost my appetite before even touching the food. I visit less often and it’s been five months since.“

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

“Only reason 4/5 for atmosphere is that they turned down the lights drastically at around 7 PM weekdays, it was too dark to see your meal properly.

However by then my meal was finished.
Ramen is delicious, I didnt ask for chili oil as broth was sufficient alone.

Ordered one sushi and it was one roll but loosely wrapped in seaweed.

Service is quick, I would be surprised if anything takes more than 10 mins.

If you with a group, get a table. Two or a pair can share side by side bar/top seating.“

“Matsunori is a comfort spot I keep going back to. Boston is definitely lacking in terms of handroll places, so the opening of this spot was a win, for sure. The fish quality is pretty good and each handroll is crafted with care (in terms of ingredients pairing). I personally really love the OG miso cod, Eel with foie gras, Mango salmon, and Spicy tuna. All the ingredients mesh perfectly together without overpowering the ⭐ of the show (the fish).

While they don’t offer reservations and are usually super busy (weekdays&weekends), today we got there around 7pm (on a weekday) and there was no wait, which was nice. Our server, Duc, was so attentive and helpful. Rolls came out super quick, as always. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!“

“Well, I finally made it to Mojo Sushi for a very special birthday dinner! I have been a Sushi aficionado for many decades, and have enjoyed Sushi from some of the best establishments from around the country, including those in Boston, New York, San Francisco… and let me just say, Mojo served me the BEST Sushi I’ve ever had! Really! The fish was as fresh as it could be, the available varieties, and the attention to detail of everything I was served, was second to none. The husband and wife team were extremely personable, the atmosphere was pleasant, quiet, and conducive to enjoying a great meal. And they even sang me Happy Birthday, while serving me a unique green tea cheesecake which was a tasty way to finish an incredible meal. I’d give them 6+ stars if I could, but suffice to say, I WILL be returning! Thank you for a truly memorable birthday meal!“

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

“Nice and chill environment.“

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

“We just celebrated our 11 anniversary tonight at XOXO Sushi Bar in Chestnut Hill. We came all the way from Natick and enjoyed the spicy tuna crispy rice, pork ribs, madai usuzukuri, shrimp tempura maki, street corn, eggplant and miso black cod were delicious!! Thank you for such an awesome evening!“

“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!“

“Had my birthday here, and I have to say this has been one of the most unexpectedly unique dining experiences I’ve had. People have said a lot of nice things—how inventive, creative, fresh—about the food, but I’m moved by the stories behind each bite. The place is not your regular omakase. Each course contains a little bit of where the chef’s from, where he’s been and worked, and what he—most locals — grown up eating. If other omakase are trying to out do each other in exclusivity and luxury, then this place delivers sincerity, originality, and a taste of New England you can’t find in any other omakase place. You are guaranteed to walk away with a meaningful and beautiful memory. I hope more people go and give this place a try.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“My son and I stopped here for lunch. Their Bento box lunch specials are excellent - both in the quality of food and the value for what you get! It came with miso soup, a small fresh salad, fried tempura, 3 pieces of a sushi roll of your choice, sashimi pieces and the protein you pick on a bed of rice. I got the chicken katsu and added curry for $2 extra and my son got the shrimp. If we lived in town, we would eat here a lot! Highly recommend!“

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

“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. 🍣❤️“

“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“

“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!!“

“We came to Cactus Club Boston to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and had such a great time! The atmosphere was so fun and beautiful, the food was really good, and the drinks were amazing. Everything was perfect for a birthday celebration and we had such a fun night together. The staff was also so friendly and attentive. Definitely a great place for a celebration or a night out with friends!“

“I came from all the way from Hong Kong to try this sushi, and I was not disappointed. The salmon…sublime. The chef has complete mastery of every flavor under the sun, and has produced a symphony of tastes for this humble peasant to experience. I might have to consider joining a religion now, as my experience here was nothing short of a holy pilgrimage. Oh and the Thai Tea was alright too I guess. 10.67/10. Customer service was reminiscent of the fleet of butlers at Buckingham Palace. They should double their cashier’s salary. I wish LeBron were here with me to experience this…“

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

“This is my favorite sushi place, bar none. The food is a great value given the quantity and quality, and the customer service couldn't be better. They recognize me when I come to pick up lunch despite only going about once a month, and the staff is always so friendly. I recommend it to all my coworkers, and always look forward to my lunches from there.“

“This was our dinner after a late afternoon Red Sox game. We scored with this cozy, unassuming place with flavorful, delicious food. Nice ambience. Packed with East Asians, which was not surprising given how tasty and authentic the food was. Highly recommend! Close to the green line stop, so easy to get to & from downtown Boston. Easy 10 minute walk from Fenway Park.“

“I usually don’t leave google reviews but GOD this place is amazing. the food is PACKED with flavour, portions are great, prices very reasonable, and it might just be the best meal I’ve had in Boston.

I ordered the crispy chicken pad thai and the chicken is genuinely life changing and your taste buds will thank you. plus the actual pad thai was the perrrrrfect blend of sweet and sour.

beef noodles were also very flavourful and the beef was very tender.

atmosphere and service is also 5/5. I highly encourage supporting this restaurant!!!“

“I ordered the sashimi don and it was much larger than I expected. The fish assortment was fresh and they gave a lot of that, which I really enjoyed. However there were green chili under the fish and I didn’t see it because it blended with the veggies. The menu also didn’t say this, and it was a big issue for me as I cannot eat spicy at all. I initially thought it was the gochujang, but the hotness got worse and worse and I almost couldn’t continue eating. The restaurant should really specify these things as it’s not obvious from just the menu name.

Nevertheless, the staff were really nice and helpful and I appreciate their service. The store was decorated with a homey japanese / korean vibe. The toilet was a bit old and smelled, but other than that it was a great experience. Might go back and order something else.“

“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!“

“I’ve been meaning to make a review of this place but selfishly don’t want this best kept secret to get out… alas I won’t gate keep!!

In a city of (I’ll say it) overpriced and mediocre food, ono poke stands apart. It’s not easy to find… small and hidden down a set of stairs near porter with only a small sign to guide you. But what ono does well is consistiently incredible poke. I don’t know how but every time the avocados are ripe, the salmon or tuna so fresh and the rice, warm and buttery tasting like it was just made.

I’ve been to ono probably 30 times and I plan to go 30 more. I don’t even particularly love poke I just love THIS poke.

You can tell when owners put love and care into their food and that’s what I feel here. It’s no frills and it’s done well. I’m gluten free and they made sure to label things that have gluten as well. I feel normal here like it’s not an inconvenience. I ❤ ono poke forever“

“Great food and great service“

“I really enjoyed this place, though the service was not so great! I really wanted to give all 5 stars, but the service was not on par with the food. The menu is very special. Curated by Chef Kenta Katagi, the menu is printed daily, so the guests will get the best fish. No salmon on the menu though! He doesn’t like it. Sake was great, and the rolls are just excellent. No desert served here. Also, someone please change the playlist!! All in all, a great experience. Celebrated my 30th birthday here, and do not regret it. However the service could be more personal.“

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

“Had a memorable experience ! The food was really fresh and beautifully presented. The service was quick and amazing. All staff had great food knowledge as well. Perfect for date night or a girls night out. Would highly recommend to add this spot to your eats list, and I would definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and great service“

“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.“

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

“Got a last minute seating and had a lovely experience dining at Yoshida. The interiors were so beautiful, atmosphere was peaceful and the service exceptional from the moment you walk in. The omakase was very high quality and generous. Thank you to Chef Tony and the team for the great experience.“

“Overall good with fun cocktails, but the space is kind of tight. While the food is good, the rolls came all at once so felt like we had to scarf down the rolls asap otherwise they would get soggy on the tray. Made it a bit harder to enjoy than like at Matsunori (I believe these are sister restaurants and their food was fresh in our memories) where the rolls are served one at a time. Bed tallow fries are always a hit.“

“A best kept secret. I work in a corporate office downtown, and this is one of my favorite spots for lunch.

Food is delicious. I 1000% recommend the double salmon maki and dragon maki.

Service is quick and friendly. Everything is made fresh. Space is clean. Convenient location too.

And it’s not overwhelmingly busy/slow unlike other spots downtown during the lunch rush, which is why this is a go-to for me.“
