50 Best Sushi Bars near Newton

“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.“

“Chef Toriyama has some of the best sushi in Boston, hands-down! Little nuances that just make everything pop the vegetables tasted alarmingly, fresh good texture, really stunning depth the flavor. Almost reminds me of picking vegetables out of the garden. Not the usual slightly sterile taste, and texture that you find from modern restaurants.

The way that he seasons the rice is a little bit unique has a nice slightly nutty flavor to it. Really everything was incredibly well, balanced, and thought out.

The atmosphere is also stunning, soft, jazz music in the background sunlight gently fills the room

The staff all seem to know one another and be well connected and the entire vibe just feels warm.

Even the preparation & assembly of each role is different but in a charming and unique way. You can definitely tell that Chef has been at this for over the last two decades.

I eat at least Sushi twice a week and I think this is gonna be my new go to spot.“

“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). 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.“

“A gem! The owners were very friendly and attentive. The sushi was amazing! It was nice to just hang out at the sushi bar and enjoy a lovely dinner and share it with a friendly & thoughtful staff.“

“The people are amazingly helpful. The food was so good. We had ordered a delivery from Grubhub but love to go in person.“

“Good cocktails and food“

“Yosselin was our server and she was the best! She was super sweet and understandable of our bad English.

Vegetarian options: Super nice

Dietary restrictions: Absolutely wonderful

Parking: Perfect“

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!“

“I had a great date night, it was our first time there and it was excellent. I was happy with everything from the food to the service from our server José. He was on point with everything, would love to have him next time again. But even the music was great, but obviously the food was the best of it all. Everyone should definitely check it out.“

“Authentic Thai and Tremptatious!

I loved the ground pork stir-fry basil here. Unlike other spots that use big chunks of pork, they use perfectly ground pork, which I prefer. The flavors are spot-on, and the ingredients are top-notch. If you want real Thai taste in Boston, this is the place!“

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

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

“What a great new spot! I’m always on the hunt for good ramen and this place certainly hits the mark. It’s a small place with a cozy atmosphere and an open kitchen so you can watch the magic happen. The food isn’t cheap but it’s not exorbitant either, and you certainly get your money’s worth. Service was speedy and we didn’t feel at all rushed taking our time over our food.

If you’re looking for a lower key date night or an extra delicious dinner with friends this is the perfect place!“

“We ended up being the only people in the restaurant, but what a cool spot! The rolls were packed with unique flavor that left us craving more!! We're big sushi people so this was exactly what we were craving. 🍣 One of the highlights of our trip to Boston!“

“After noticing Sushinoya open for a year or so I finally decided to try it. I was craving sushi and ordered take out. We ordered California rolls, spicy tuna, eel, salmon, and shrimp tempura for take out. The order was ready in under 30 minutes. After eating some of the sushi I instantly knew it was special. Sushinoya made some of the best sushi I've ever had. It was fresh, delicious and perfectly balanced. I am looking forward to going back and trying their other offerings. Their prices are also very reasonable.“

“This spot offers a truly unique and delicious food concept, with everything made fresh and packed with flavor. We’ve already been twice, despite living over 30 minutes away! The food is undeniably top-tier—worthy of a high-end dining experience—yet it’s served in a casual diner setting, which creates a bit of a contrast. The space is bright but lacks an atmosphere that matches the excitement of the cuisine. Additionally, they don’t have a liquor license, so no sake pairings, which feels like a missed opportunity. Overall, the food is a solid 10, while the rest is a 7 or 8—not because anything is wrong, but simply because it doesn’t quite align with the quality of the dishes. Definitely worth the trip for the food alone!“

“The sushi was delicious, but the price is not for the faint of heart! A nice treat, and the best quality fish I've had outside of Japan. Chef Mike worked diligently to deliver a great experience. I also liked the lack of pretentiousness in his shop. I imagine that if someone were to ask for a fork, he'd hardly bat an eye. The focus here is really on the food, and he checks that box.“

“We have been going to Uchi since the opening week, and the food and service have only improved over time. We get takeout most weeks, and have enjoyed every item we've ordered, from various appetizers (we love the shrimp shumai) to entrees of sushi, ramen, fried rice, etc., to the fried ice cream dessert. Everything is delicious, the staff are friendly and recognize regulars, and we always enjoy ourselves when we eat in.“

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

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“I visited Oishii with a small work group for a holiday celebration and we had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent—very attentive, made thoughtful recommendations, quick to refill water glasses, etc. and the food was delicious. I specifically enjoyed the Crispy Vegetable Dumplings, and the Shrimp Explosion and Japanese Yam Tempura Speciality Maki. We were far too full for dessert but decided to “just take a look”…and of course had to try a couple. The green tea layered cake (cannot remember the exact name) was absolutely delicious—would highly recommend! All in all a great meal. Quite expensive overall, so will make it an only-for-special-occasions restaurant, but would return (and likely order a similar slate of entrees).“

“TL;DR: TAKEOUT REVIEW. Everything was so good! Ikura was the starOrdered takeout/delivery on our last night in Boston for our late night snack. We had gone earlier in the day, but their chef's were not doing ala carte orders yet (they had just opened). But the store has a good selection of grab-and-go items from sushi, to drinks, to other merch like soy sauce and snacks.FOOD:~Chef's Sampler (5/5) and Signature Set (5/5): each of these sets came with 5 pieces of nigiri, and they were all so good. Each of them were topped with a unique seasoning/sauce, and they accompanied each of the fish so well!Salmon don (5/5): came with a great assortment of salmon, all of it very fresh (salmon belly was my fave). But the star of this dish to me was the ikura and the cucumbers. SO DELICIOUSGreat quality sushi, great portions, delicious flavors, and affordable prices! Definitely a must visit!“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“Food was solid high quality sushi with creative preparation and freshness. Menu can be overwhelming so I’d advise having a look before you go there. Our server was lively and informative. Prices are generally high but acceptable for the occasional visit or event. The decor was modern and comfortable.

Parking: We lucked out finding parking a few blocks away but it would have taken a while had we not happen upon the space. Make sure you leave enough time to park.

Kid-friendliness: Perfectly acceptable for kids as it’s not a quiet environment, but you probably wouldn’t want to as it is upscale and everyone is seated.“

“My better half and I visited this spot, and I can confidently say it’s the best sushi I’ve had in the Boston-Cambridge area. My only regret is not ordering the Sakana sushi boat—but there’s always next time!

She thinks it’s some of the best sushi she’s ever had, and she’s a regular.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and good service. The staff seemed very friendly however even though the place was empty, I had to look for help. No biggie for me; just reflecting in this review. The place was clean and decorated nicely. There was parking which helped. I would definitely return if I were in the area.“

“Brookline is so lucky to have this local gem in the community!! Super Fusion never misses - I get takeout from here frequently and it's always such a nice experience. The sushi is fresh, delicious, reasonably priced and the people who own this store are such kind folks. The super fusion maki combo and crispy crab wontons are my favorite things to order but I've enjoyed everything I've tried here! I'm always happy to give this place my business - they're really nice people who produce consistently high quality food.“

“really good sushi if you’re looking for a quick bite! service is super fast and portions are great!

i would order sushi instead of the poke bowls as they’re more tasty/flavorful. the yogurt drinks were a little too sweet but that’s personal preference

would definitely be ordering here again if i’m looking to eat some sushi in the local area :)“

“The greatest sushi in Boston hands down. I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for years, and no matter how many new sushi restaurants I try, I always wind up back at Symphony Sushi. Highest marks. Highest possible recommendation.“

“This is my go to for quick lunch with a friend or a solo sushi trip. Service is fast, food is fresh and the lunch pricing is literally unbelievable. Sushi for 2 with appetizers and drinks under $60??? Hell yeah. The store is always clean and the staff has been friendly every time I’ve gone.

Vegetarian options: They have an entire Vegetarian platter and tons of options!“

“A  reliably fresh poke spot in Porter Square.

For the past few months, Ono Pokebar has been one of my go-to delivery spots for poke bowls, and that’s largely because of one key factor: consistency. The number one thing I look for in a poke bar is reliable portion sizes. When these places first open, they usually get great reviews for their generous servings, but give it a few months, and the portions start shrinking until they’re no different from any other run-of-the-mill poke spot. Sure, creative toppings and unique sauces can add some flair, but if I can’t count on consistent portions from visit to visit, I’m less likely to return.

That’s what sets Ono Pokebar apart. Most of the time, the bowls are served up by members of the owner’s family, so the portions are reliably the same every time. While they might not be the biggest bowls out there, they’re just the right size to leave me satisfied without worrying if I’ll still be hungry afterward.

When it comes to their poke, Ono Pokebar delivers exactly what you’d expect from a solid spot—fresh fish, flavorful sauces, and all the crunchy toppings that make a bowl satisfying. While they don’t have a ton of unique toppings, it’s the kind of reliable place I’d dash to the moment a poke craving hits.

Parking: Porter square plaza parking lot“

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

“Ask for Oscar for your server! His enthusiasm and personality definitely showed that he loves his job! The food was unlike anything we have had before and the cocktails are mixed to perfection!“

“Decent spot for affordable, Instagram-worthy sushi.

Stumbled upon this place on IG and decided to give it a try. Over the past few years, this location has seen several restaurant changes, and the interior remained mostly the same.

Their menu featured all the trendy sushi items that have been circulating on social media, like sushi donuts and tacos. While visually appealing, the sushi donuts and mini bowls were essentially their standard rolls repackaged in different forms—same sauces, similar ingredient combos. The portions felt a bit small considering they’re equivalent to about 3-4 rolls combined. Unless you’re specifically going for photos, I’d recommend sticking to their regular rolls for better value.

Given the price point, it’s hard to expect quality or creativity, and overall, the execution was reasonably good. My main complaint was with their sauces—they seemed to rely heavily on just two: unagi sauce and spicy mayo. As a result, everything ended up tasting quite similar. This was particularly disappointing with the sea urchin taco, which came with a relatively premium price tag. The curry rice plate had tender and fatty chicken, but it was underwhelming in terms of flavor.

I understand that there aren’t many casual sushi options in the Inman Square area, so this spot might be a convenient choice for students nearby. Not sure I’d rush back, but it’s worth checking out if you’re in the mood for cheap sushi.

Parking: Parking on Cambridge St. Usually empty spots available after 5p.“

“I don't often leave reviews, but the sashimi is soft and delicious, the price is good, and the portions are plentiful!! The owner is so kind and the service is great ~ I'm so glad there is a raw fish restaurant like this in Boston... I highly recommend it!!“

“stopped by this place as i was walking by and dined in with a friend. we shared the sushi. valentines roll was really good, so was the cosmo. i could kill ten of the onigiris. super filling and tasty. service was very nice and everything tasted fresh. no major complaints, its worth a visit if you're nearby, hungry, and want something light.“

“My favorite spot to order a sushi delivery feast. The portions are larger than expected for the price. It's thoughtfully packaged so everything's separated and the right temp on arrival. Flavors are out of control good!! Don't miss the Idaho Roll.“

“It's almost the only Mazesoba restaurant in downtown Boston, and the rolls and Mazesoba are delicious!! However, the inside of the store is small and there is a long line on weekend evenings, so you have to wait outside and it is very cold in the winter.“

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

“Love them. Highly recommend the spicy eel coconut maki.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“The best in Boston.“

“What might one expect from a a subterranean sushi den featuring the all-star Kenta Katagai? Nothing but the best, of course! Chef Katagai belongs to an inner circle of the world's grand masters, channelling all his passion and expertise into his sushi, shaping each and every piece to perfection in view of diners. The decor and service, just like the meal, elevate the silence and purity of the materials used.
ありがとう - arigatō.“

“This delicious restaurant is located near the Central Station of the MRT Red Line. I came here for lunch this time and ordered Monfish fried rice-chicken. The portion was not a lot, but it tasted delicious. There was quite a lot of chicken, and the rice was fried quickly over high heat and was very fragrant. , and kale to increase the taste.
Visiting again for the second time, I ordered Thai drunken chicken noodle. The chicken was delicious, the noodles were tender and elastic, and the overall flavor was spicy and delicious.

“Best sushi I’ve had in Boston and surrounding area.I love sushi, so the quality of my sushi is important to me. Ive been to numerous sushi places around the city, you name it I’ve been there. Nothing, and I mean nothing compares to new sushi Allston. Not to mention the prices are great aswell. Customer service is amazing, the sushi chef knows the order I always get, he even throws a free spicy miso(which is amazing) whenever I place an order.I would highly recommend this place over any other sushi restaurants, even the high end ones.“
