“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!!”

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!”

“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 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!!”

“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.”

“It’s an exceptional omakase in Boston and I always get sad to leave by the end of the meal. The fish is of such a high quality and you really get to appreciate it here. It’s also a delightful ebb and flow of flavor punching dishes and some that are just simple and elegant. It’s a very tasty ride! The experience is reverent and a bit hushed but it’s still warm and definitely feels special. The space is minimal but pleasant.”

“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!”

“I really like sukiyaki and mentaiko udon, and I always want to try them out, but the portions at their restaurant are too big. The service is also excellent and very attentive. I've seen someone drop their chopsticks, but before I could even react, the staff had already brought new chopsticks over.”

The appetizer of Maguro Ceviche was really delicious and the notes of oranges paired well with tuna. Botan Ebi nigiri was super delicous also. This place is a must try!!”

“Being a white dude I got fried gyozas and shrimp tempura maki. Both were fantastic. I feel like a lot of gyozas taste the same but these had a great fry to them with a flavorful filling. Maki was really nicely sauced and the Shinto tempura beautifully fried.”

“Cafe Mami is a neighborhood gem. We've been coming here for years to enjoy their variety of Japanese comfort food. They have probably the best curry in Boston. Love the depth of great fruity curry flavor with their pork and chicken katsu and hamburger. Their gyudon has crispy sliced beef and beansprouts. Couple of our favorites are the Nininku chicken and beef tofu sets. Sauces are great and free refills on rice. They offer great value and quality. Staff is friendly and efficient. So happy they are still in the neighborhood after all these years.”

“M&J Teriyaki is a cute restaurant which I highly recommend if you’re in the area! They offer both dine-in and takeout and have, frankly a very nice atmosphere. The food too was really amazing (I recommend the chicken in particular) and the drinks are also very nice. I enjoyed the flavor of the strawberry smoothie. I personally went right after having visited the MFA and so, if you’re on the lookout for a bit to eat after a museum visit then please consider it!”

The presentation on the platters was lovely and the food delicious! Although the restaurant is small, it's clean, cozy, and very welcoming. We're looking forward to coming back soon to dine in!”

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I’m writing this one because I placed an online order in a rush because I was so hungry that I didn’t even realize I had ordered from the Somerville location. When I got there and realized my mistake, they made the order for me without charging me anything! 🥹🫶 Such amazing service! I truly appreciate their kindness”

Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.”

“I love Takara in Medfield. The staff is wonderful. I eat here almost every week. Even during COVID, my family did take out weekly. This is my go-to restaurant. My wife takes me there as a reward!! The food is wonderful and well prepared. I think that I have tried almost everything on the menu over the years. My favorite meal is the spicy tuna avocado salad! The rest of my family enjoys the sushi, sashimi, and various maki rolls which I always help them finish. Korean inspired food is a nice twist on typical sushi. Great place with great service. Great bar and wines too!”

“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.”

You need to have your entire present to be seated and they do not take reservations as there are few tables. The larger group I saw about six people. It's not a large place and has a very minimalist feel with the decor.”

Remember the "ramen wars" a few years back? Well, we might have a winner. Jinya Ramen Bar is slurping up success, becoming the second-fastest growing full-service Asian restaurant in the U.S. In 2023, this Tokyo-born (and Los Angeles-based) chain grew by 30.2%, second only to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.
Rock N Roll Sushi, the restaurant chain known for its fun, rockin' American-style sushi experience, is kicking off 2024 with some big moves.

"Our organization has demonstrated that it's more than capable of meeting that challenge year after year, and we're excited to keep delivering on that," said CEO Hajime "Jimmy" Uba.
