“The best sushi!! Great quality super tasty 10/10 friendly staff I recommend!!!!!“

“Great food and drinks! Nothing was disappointing at all. Wait staff was on point and friendly.“

“Food and service was amazing had a great time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is my favorite restaurant in the world. It's casual and cozy and never intimidating. Also never full, probably because take out is their main gig. The food is so good. I am obsessed with the szechuan broth and regularly used to go in here by myself and get chicken combo and eat the whole thing in 20 min. I also love the sushi, always great quality. I used to come in here a lot with my band, often in a certain state of mind, and we would ask for "Triple Dragon Combo," which is not something they offer but then we would go on to explain that we wanted Red Dragon Maki, Dragonfly Maki and Dragon Maki. My wife is less of a sushi fan but she orders from their Chinese menu and the hot and sour soup, Rangoons, and Gau are fantastic. I have yet to be unsatisfied with my usual choices enough to try their Thai food except I usually get a Thai ice tea which is great. Always friendly staff and we often have friendly conversations. I hope it is the same forever. Anything else? Err, sometimes you gotta go around the block to find parking? It's never that bad though.“

“Words can't describe the incredible experience I had today. I especially want to point out our servers Kayla and Ethan for their beautiful service. They are attentive, make good conversation, and walked us through the entire process. I will gladly be back again as this is now my new favorite Japanese place!“

“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.“

“the good was great the drinks were even better. Definitely coming back again“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“Got this place for the first time when I was craving some terriyaki chicken and milk tea!!! Was so delicious. I love the cabbage and broccoli they were steamed and seasoned perfectly over the white rice. Definitely ask for extra sauce it was so, so good. Quality ingredients, tummy felt so happy and satisfied after. Love that they're open late too!! Will be coming back many times“

“Visited here based on ratings and it did not disappoint! Tried to find a weak spot with so many things on the menu but could not. Sushi was great, sauces complimented the fish without overpowering. The Ramen bowl was good, flavor was more complex than expected from Ramen. Poke bowl was great with nice with a good balance of various flavors. Service was timely and polite! Even the drinks were great. Will be back!“

“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!“

“Great food and great service“

“My spouse and I have been coming to Yama for over 20 years, and we have always enjoyed meals together, with family and with friends. The meals are well prepared and attractively plated. Service is personable and excellent even when they are busy. [As an observation more than criticism, Asian restaurants in general have had to struggle obtaining and affording top quality rice of all sorts, from Japanese-grown short grain to premium Indian basmati. Unfortunately, it seems Yama is no exception — the rice is good and acceptable, but not exceptional.] Lunch bento boxes and sashimi/sushi specials are excellent and good value.“

“Ate there tonight. It’s so pretty inside, top notch service, pretty drinks, fairly priced and absolutely delicious sushi beautifully presented! A+“

“Fresh, clean and authentic. Incredible menu. You won't be disappointed.“

“Cute place with a good selection expected at a Sushi restaurant. Nice atmosphere, quick and friendly service. Plenty of parking around the restaurant as well

Vegetarian options: Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu, and the menu has an okay amount of them to appease the vegans in your party.“

“Enjoyed the 갈비 비빔밥 (Galbi Bibimbap) which is essentially marinated beef short rib in a mixture of white rice and fresh vegetables and a fried egg. It was delicious and an enjoyable experience watching the food cook in the hot bowl right in front of me. The rice at the bottom crisped up and gave the dish that extra crunch I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise and I'd come again.“

“Sushi Today, is by far my favorite place to order form during quarantine. I ordered from them before quarantine whenever I would babysit for my neighbors. Even though a lot of places are busy and haven't gotten my orders wrong, sushi today has not disappointed me yet. Sushi Today is the only place I will ever order sushi from. They make eel avocado rolls, which are surprisingly rare and hard to find when looking for take-out. Overall the accuracy, taste, and packaging of my orders from Sushi Today have been awesome.“

“On our Wednesday Night Culinary 🧑‍🍳 Travels we ended up in Roslindale Village at The Village Sushi & Grill🥢. We sat outside on the Patio and were Greeted by our Waitress who was Welcoming and Helpful with Menu choices.

Highly Recommend Village Sushi & Grill . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I'm a regular here because the food is great for a great price and staff is always friendly. Prepared quick and my order is always correct. I usually go for the nigiri but I also really like their chicken teriyaki with noodles, and the dumplings are solid too.“

“Excellent food, service, and specials. We had a really nice dinner.“

“We ordered delivery. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Especially loved the cucumber avocado sushi and the vegetable gyoza.“

“I ordered the spicy tuna which didn't have any spices and it may have had the substitute the mango for pineapple and also they substituted the tuna for crab but none of that matters because it was delicious regardless even with substitutions I'm definitely going to buy this again it got four stars but I would have gave it five if not for somebody substitutions“

“I don't know why am I seeing Ugly comments in here buts it's sad to read. Lol

“If you’re a student or worker on the go, you need something fast (within 5 minutes), filling, and nutritious (meat, veggies, carbs), this is your best bet in Longwood Galleria.

Options are simple, my go to is the chicken and shrimp plate with fried rice (has never done me wrong). Ask for extra sauce at the end when they’re about to finish plating (if they haven’t asked you already).

The one issue is that there usually isn’t enough sauce for all the food, but honestly, we as a nation would benefit from eating less sodium ?.“

“Our take out dinners tonight were SO good! The filet was absolutely delicious and the goyza was best I’ve had. Everything was cooked perfectly everything was packed so nicely and obviously tons of effort went into each detail. You guys did a fantastic job.“

“I used to frequent this place when I lived there in 2013 . I was Happy To See That (the owner) Christina was still there (2024)!!! Food ( Egg Foo Young and House Rice Noodles) Was Sooo Good!!! Service Awesome!!! And the Atmosphere is definitely a Cool Vibe. Highly Recommended!!!“

“Took a friend there to eat for their birthday we got there and Monday and Tuesdays are only for takeout we talked to the staff and they were very accommodating they said sure come in sit and enjoy the food. It was fast, it was delicious well prepared if you haven't been there then you should give it a try reasonably priced as well“

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,“

“Great foods and Great services !!! Stop by and try it out !!!“

“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.“

“Incredibly friendly and attentive service. The doors (there are two) are super heavy, and I couldn’t open it. Someone jumped right away to help.

I got the Japanese udon noodles and the miso soup. The soup was fishier than I remember miso being but it’s been a long time since I have had. It was hearty and hot and enjoyable.

The udon noodles were well-seasoned. The veggies were delicious. The chicken was a little fattier than I am used to but it was all yummy and the food came promptly after ordering.

My water was refilled as I drank and the check came just as I was finishing my meal, so very attentive but respectful service.

Would recommend.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible but doors are very heavy. I needed help.“

“Best sushi and great service.“

“I bought few sets for after Christmas party. It was amazing! Sugar level is perfect with tea or coffee! Will order again!“

“The quality of food and freshness is outstanding! I have very high standards as there are only 2 chineese restaurants I would order from and this is one of them. The hunan chicken was chock full of crunchy vegetables and chicken with oustanding flavor. Egg roll crispy with no grease. Fried rice is light and fresh with great flavor. The delivery drivers are even fantastic and very professional and appreciative. I should have written this review 15 meals ago.“

“Great place with many options for lunch or dinner, excellent customer service and attentive staff that go above and beyond to ensure you are happy with service and food.

Vegetarian options: They will accommodate your request also have alternative such as tofu“

“25 years I have been charged mine here. In all that time, never any less than fabulous!“

“It was very quiet when I visited, I had been out and needed to get food and was craving Chinese food. I have many allergies, and they were very caring about what I ordered. Food was tasty and pentiful. Price was about average. Service was good.

Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my allergies.“

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

“They have wonderful food and drinks. They have friendly helpful people working there. It’s very clean and we always have a great time and it’s reasonably priced.“

“We were very close to not eating here because of some of the reviews, but we gave it a chance and we were so glad we did because we really had a great experience! The chef was wonderful and had both of my kids laughing hysterically as well as the adults. The food was exactly what you would expect from hibachi- it was very good and it came with salads and soup. We would definitely do it again!“

“the best place in Roslindale to eat everything was fresh 😋“

“Muy buena la atención y la comida 💪“

“The bomb“

“What happened? Are there new owners? This used to be the best Chinese Restaurant on par with China Temple in Brookline. The people at the front desk are very rude & not at all welcoming, & the take out food was terrible ( no inside dining during CIVID). I don’t mind paying their new higher prices, but do not cut back on the food quality. You have lost a long time customer.“
