Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing experience, especially given the strong reviews and higher price point. We ordered the chef’s choice special for two, which included an 8-piece nigiri and a special roll. The nigiri was genuinely bad—each piece had strange sauces on top that completely overpowered the fish, and the rice was cold and flavorless, which is pretty unforgivable for sushi. The special rolls were even worse. It came topped with lemon wedges on one and the other had lettuce inside, making it completely unbalanced and honestly inedible. The flavors did not work at all and felt very far from what you’d expect at this price level. To make matters worse, the service was extremely poor. We practically had to beg to be served, and the waiter was very odd—aloof, disengaged, and inattentive throughout the meal. Given the reputation, reviews, and cost, I was shocked by how subpar the entire experience was. Not worth the price, and I wouldn’t return or recommend it.

If you are looking for traditional Japanese sushi, this is not your place. To me, the sushi was more about the appearance than the freshness and flavor. And a bizarre mix of flavors. The basil on one of the rolls just completely overpowered the whole roll, for example. And the lemon with rind on sushi? Maybe some people like that, but I felt as far away from Tokyo as I was sitting (half way around the globe). And my $17 yuzu margarita was bland and uninspired -- in a cheap lemonade style glass with no garnish and no pizazz. Overall, for the price, I was expecting much more upscale. Spent $420 on dinner for 5, with everyone agreeing that we have no need to come back. On the plus side the waitstaff was nice, (although they politely let us know that they would appreciate it if we would leave so that they could close up early since the restaurant was almost empty). Had been looking forward to trying this place and was sorely disappointed.

We chose Chef Alex SushiCo in Newton to celebrate Duru’s 17th birthday, and it was the best decision. Chef Alex handled every detail and made us feel so welcome—like we were family. The food was delicious, and the experience was unforgettable. Thank you for making this celebration so special!❤️

Artisanal sushi: all our favorites but beautifully garnished. We particularly enjoyed the Yellowtail Jalapeño, which came with crispy Jalapeño chips, the Chef's Choice 6-piece Nigiri, which was perfectly garnished and didn't need soy sauce, and the North Side Roll (top row of my sushi platter picture). Service was attentive and we'll be coming back!

Sushico has become our go-to sushi spot! Every time we bring friends, they’re completely wowed. The food, the freshness, and the whole experience never misses. Honestly, we’ve tried to keep it our little secret sushi gem, but it’s just too good not to share.
The crew here is awesome, from the host to the owner. You can tell they care about both their food and their guests. Highly recommend this spot for anyone appreciates quality sushi.

One of if not my most favorite sushi restaurants. I've gotten to know the owner and they are exceptional at what they do. Food sourcing and ingredients are top notch. Mix this with an innovative menu and you get a sushi establishment that takes the higher road. Highly recommend!!

Incredible sushi! Dining area is small but sushi bar also has seats. This is he best sushi we've found outside Boston.
5/5 Stars! We have been long-time customers ever since they opened, and we always look forward to the exceptional experience we know we’ll have when we come to visit Chef Alex and his amazing team! From the ambiance and service, to the artfully prepared dishes from the highest quality ingredients, dining here never ceases to impress us.
The dedication to their craft, respect for the ingredients, and keen attention to detail are evident in everything Chef Alex and his team do. My wife and I are already looking forward to our next visit!

I truly cannot recommend Chef James and his wife, Jasmine enough. We hired them for a private omakase party for my bachelorette. They absolutely exceeded our expectations. They were kind and attentive, and the food was out of this world. Every piece was fresh and absolutely delish! I truly cannot recommend them enough- they are THE BEST! My friends and I still can’t stop talking about that meal!

Hands down the best sushi in the Boston area. So fresh and creative. You usually need a reservation to have dinner here and they only accept them via phone or email (an online booking would be really great in the future!). Takeout sushi is just as outstanding. They can make gluten free sushi as well which is awesome.
