50 Best Sushi Bars near Newton Highlands

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

“As close to an authentic omakase experience as it gets outside of Japan. The quality of the food (texture + flavor) as well as the presentation were all mind blowing. Service was also great. Dan was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu, being able to give a detailed description about each item he was asked about. I’m definitely coming back!“

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

“Great food and great service“

“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!“

“Nice and chill environment.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I love this place. It is my local go to for sushi twice a week. Always fresh and delicious. Favorite Chef Specials: Honey Bear Maki, Beauty on the Beach, Volcano Maki and Building Department Maki and the Sushi Roll Futo Maki. Friendly staff and very clean.“

“Sleek ambience, fresh and creative dishes and attentive service make it perfect for a special night out. Must visit for sushi lovers!“

“An absolute gem nestled in the heart of Lexington, MA with a unique experience. A non-traditional take on sushi while adhering to the core of what makes a sushi, sushi. Every bite was a journey with interesting combination of toppings that compliment the fish beautifully. A very intimate experience with one chef and six seats where you get to dive deep into conversation with the chef about his journey. He delivers high quality food at a very good flow while maintaining good conversation with the guests. What I really appreciated about the chef is that he plays the energy off of the guests seated at the table instead of trying to force conversation with the guests.“

“The best restaurant in Dedham! Always spotless, with friendly staff who make you feel welcome every time. The poke bowl is absolutely out of this world. If you’re looking for great sushi and a cozy atmosphere, don’t look any further! ♥️“

“I was so excited when we were going to go here.as soon as I tried the food I loved it.i liked the sushi because the sushi was just the right size and the noodles were really good because the sauce made them so juicy.lastly I loved the Japanese soda. From Polina 🩷“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“What a cute restaurant with delicious food! It's a bit unassuming from the outside along a busy street, but Fin's has a bright, open atmosphere inside. We enjoyed lunch on a late Sunday afternoon and highly recommend the beef fried rice, Chirashi sushi bowl, and the tuna poke bowl. The poke bowl was a unique and deliciously fun surprise with strawberries, mango, and avocado. The bowls came with miso soup, and everything was fresh and yummy. Great find in a busy neighborhood and close to 95.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The best in Boston.“

“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 🙌🏼“

“Excellent salmon bento box!“

“👍very good menu! Salmon is really good and fresh“

“Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating.

The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid.

Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty.

The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings.

The vegetable mazesoba (vegan) included tofu soboro, mix of corn, quinoa, red pickles, and other goodies. It was a lighter flavor and we appreciated the opportunity to order the truffle oil on the side.

Overall, recommended for a casual and pleasant dinner among family and friends. The food quality and atmosphere make this hidden gem a great choice.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Visited this jazz and Asian restaurant for first time. Food was great with a wide selections of sushi, soups, and fusion dishes. The service was fast and very effective. The main addition was the four piece local jazz band. All four musicians were enjoyable to listen to and played a wide array of selections and styles.
Next time in Boston I will try to visit the Mad Monkfish again.
Enjoyed the wide mix of people. It's great how music bring people together.“

“best sushi place that you should try!“

“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!“

“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“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

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

“Great food with gluten free options!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“
