“We celebrated our son’s 15th birthday and enjoyed a great meal, great service, great company. Highly recommend this for family friendly dinners!!!!“

“2nd time coming to Shabu Lee. great experience.

There are many possibilities on food. I love hot pot and sushi and this place grants both. I was extremely impressed with their Sunburned Maki. It was superb, they roast the sushi to perfection and that provided a nice char flavor. It was the highlight of my dinner.

Hot pot was standard and a le carte. Great proteins but I blame myself not knowing which broths of theirs to pair with proteins to optimize flavor.

Price was favorable and affordable. So much so that I treated myself to Hot Sake to compliment my sushi experience.

Atmosphere was welcoming. The staff had pleasant personalties and smiled. The environment was calm, itseems they excel more in carry out then eat in as they were not too busy for a Sunday dinner.

Overall, a great experience. Can't wait to go back for Surburned Maki.“

“We sat at the bar and were assisted throughout the evening by Zenish who was a great tour guide for our evening. Every recommendation he made was spot on. We eat sushi regularly but it is still in a lot of ways new to us, having help on what to choose and the order in which to choose it was just amazing.

The food was spectacular in every respect. This will be a regular spot for us.“

“Merylin was amazing and had great service. She was on top of everything and got our orders in on time. She did an amazing job of handling everything with care and being patient with us. We appreciate her so much and would come back to sit with her.“

“This is a true gem. This is our first time but will not be the last. The sushi is made to perfection. We had sushi, super fresh, udon with beef and chicken katzu. Dessert was fried ice cream!!! The place is small so reservations are recommended.“

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

“A really pleasant experience. The food was fresh, nicely prepared, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was calm and comfortable. It’s a great spot for enjoying Japanese food, and I’d be happy to come back again !“

“Ordered teriyaki chicken, rice, edamame and spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The spring rolls were extra yummy. 😋“

“Outstanding and delicious!!!!“

“Great food and great service“

“I had an outstanding experience at Yama in Wellesley. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was incredible — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency.

The atmosphere was just as impressive — clean, comfortable, and perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out.

Thank you to the entire team for such a great dining experience. We will absolutely 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!“

“Cafe Itadaki is having their soft opening until August 4th.

I tried the Omurice. The server brings it out to you and cuts it open as well, resulting in the signature pour seen with omurice. I thought the dish was very good, not much to elevate it but the sauce included tastes decent with it.

I also tried the original omurice, which was pretty good as well. It only includes ketchup as a sauce, but the included meat and rice was good.

We also tried the onigiri, which had good portions and was affordable for what they offered.

Not sure if the price will change when they do open, but the prices here lean a bit cheaper than other places, and the portion size here is decent.

I definitely will want to try and go back once the restaurant opens.“

“I cannot believe it took me a year to try this place!! If you’re looking for a casual, yummy, take-out lunch, definitely give this place a go! Over the past month, I’ve tried the chicken teriyaki bowl and multiple sushi rolls. Everything is so delicious, so reasonably priced, and always ready to go within just a few minutes of ordering. The portion sizes are large and reasonable for what they cost, and the service is very quick and friendly. This has definitely become one of my staple lunch spots in the area!“

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

“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.“

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

“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. She took our Drink and Appetizer orders for the 😋Tempura Starter, 😋Chicken on Skewer, 😋Don Shumai (deep fried), 😋Scallion Pancake, Sushi Starter, 😋Miso Soup,😋 Unagi (Eel) Sushi and an Entree of Bui-Go-Ki 😋. Everything was 😋 Delicious and Tasty. 😋 The Drinks were Ice Cold 🍷🍻. The Service was Excellent 👍.
Highly Recommend Village Sushi & Grill . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Ordered delivery via Uber Eats. The food portion was great - 1 bento was enough for 2 people!! Also the food tasted like home-cooked meals :) It was still warm when it was freshly delivered, food was not salty (something I care a lot about personally). Decent quality and portion size for the price! Note that if you are ordering via Uber Eats all the items are about $2 more expensive than if you order in-store (I learned from the flyer they had included with the delivery). But still worth the value. The only thing I would recommend is they forgot the pickled ginger and since the dishes were quite oily in general, I think it would be better (taste-wise and digestion-wise) to include some sort of pickled vegetable on the side, whether radish/cabbage/ginger/gherkin. Only a suggestion though, if I had the opportunity. Otherwise enjoyed it very much and happy with the deal (got buy 1 get 1 free deals)“

“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.“

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

“I got a bento box w/ chicken teriyaki and added extra teriyaki sauce I definitely recommend! It came w/ chicken teriyaki, chicken dumplings, vegetables, California roll definitely worth the 13.50$ I spent ! I recommend this place to you! The portion is definitely fair and they don’t rip you off .“

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

“Decent Japanese Korean cuisine. Atmosphere gives off Asian asthestics with a water fountain at the entrance. Pricing is more on middle-high-end, so a group can easily rack up a bill of 150 to 200 dollars depending on what you select. There are reasonable amount of alcoholic choices. Dessert wise is limited. Food quality is passable, as the thin slices of meat are on the dry side, so if you have a hard time with dry over cook food, you may need sauce or condiments to compensate. One my group members commented the food taste sweet, so to be fair, Asian foods that use teriyaki sauce in their ingredients will taste sweeter than the usual Japanese and Chinese cuisine. I would like to try sushi but it usually expensive here compared to a strictly sushi restaurant. Overall this one the better quality restaurants I've been to around the Greater Boston Area.“

“Best sushi and great service.“

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

“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.“

“My wife and I came here the other day, we live just across the street. I'm so glad we visited!

Years ago I visited Sushi Man at their old location, and now that we've moved here I'm so glad we are so close!

We had the Karage Fried Chicken, Dragon Maki, Spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura.“

“Ordered the Wonton Soup and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place.“

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,“

“From the parking lot, the tinted windows don’t do this place justice — but once inside, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s bright, clean, and welcoming, with an open kitchen and a small but well-stocked bar featuring top-shelf liquors. My takeout order arrived quickly, with generous lunch portions. The fried rice was excellent, and the egg roll was perfectly crisp without being greasy. The staff were very friendly, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back and will recommend it to friends and family.“

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

“Such an amazing experience. Food was absolutely delicious, sushi to die for! If you plan on drinking get a Mai Tai, they are so good. All the staff is so happy and polite. Highly recommend this place, I came from Quincy. 45 minute ride and I will for sure be back. All around great time :)“

“My coworker introduced me to Wild Blossom several years ago when I worked in the area. The food & service is great and much more reasonable priced than some other local restaurants. I moved to out of state but will go there when I’m in town.
Best Chinese food around!“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

“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“

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

“Muy buena la atención y la comida 💪“

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

“I can't think of a reason not to give 5 stars. We have been here 5 times in the last 6 years and it has been a lot of fun each time. The staff is awesome and welcoming, they put on a good show at the tables, and the food is on point. We visited last weekend and they cooked my tuna perfectly rare but seared. Great, fun place to have a meal and laugh with friends!“

“The bomb“

“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.“

“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.“
