“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.“

“Britani is amazing server ! Super fun and outgoing, very fast service , id love to have her as my next server if we come back! Today is my last day in boston before I go back to Texas. So it was nice to experience great service !
Food came in fast and all was good“

“First-class dining right in Chestnut Hill. I’m so glad I discovered this place.

I visited during a tasting event, which offered a great opportunity to sample several dishes from across the menu. The fish was beautifully prepared and expertly seasoned throughout. The standout was the black cod, perfectly balancing savory richness with just the right touch of sweetness.

The shiromi ususukuri — Japanese white fish sashimi — was delicate and refreshing, with candied quinoa adding an unexpected and satisfying crunch. On the meat side, the pork belly bao bun was superb: melt-in-your-mouth pork tucked inside a pillowy, perfectly steamed bun.

Every dish felt thoughtful and polished without being fussy. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in the area. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Great food and great service“

“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.“

“We tried a variety of items. The miso soup and the mushroom and onion soup were both delicious. I ordered the Philadelphia and the OMG roll. The Philadelphia comes with smoked salmon which is hard to find. Both rolls were hands down the best sushi I have had in the Greater Boston area! We also ordered the Sakura fried rice and beef with onions and peppers. They were pretty much the same you can get anywhere else. The sushi is the stand out here! The service was great. The food came out quickly and the server was very friendly. I will be more than glad to drive out of my way to come here again!“

“Outstanding and delicious!!!!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“If you have been to Japan, you will love - CLEAN! FAST, very consistent, tasty. SO FRESH, you don't get canned jar sauces here. They make accommodations with no problem - for instance, the curries I take extra cabbage no rice- and my friend takes edamame no salt. Kind! Delicious matcha tea drinks. The Barley tea is like a beauty drink, IMHO.“

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

“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. 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 . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“Really great food! I ordered a bunch of different food like the chicken teriyaki roll, shrimp tempura roll, sweet potatoes, spring rolls, chicken dumplings and the Japanese cake. All tasted really fresh and I love that it wasn't salty! The portion is also excellent. Would definitely order again.“

“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.“

“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 ?.“

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

“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.“

“Had lunch here today. Very nice interior design a nice calming atmosphere to dine.People serving are friendly and accommodating. Their menu has an extensive variety of traditional and Japanese food. I went with the luncheon menu it is priced reasonable and the generous serving of chicken and broccoli with white rice came with choice of one appetizer I chose crab rangoon it was all delicious. Im so happy to find this gem so close to home. Mr Chefs has alot to offer their customers. Try it I know your going to like!“

“Sushi Man is easily my family’s favorite restaurant. Whenever my kids come home, this is always at the top of their list.

The fish is consistently fresh, and even the simplest cuts of sashimi are incredibly flavorful, a true testament to quality. There’s something special about a place where a plain piece of raw fish can taste this good.

It’s a cozy, intimate spot with about eight tables and some bar seating, giving it that classic mom-and-pop feel. The husband and wife owners are always warm and welcoming, and they somehow manage to find a way to accommodate you, even when it’s busy.

A true neighborhood gem that we keep coming back to again and again.“

“The service was impeccable, the food was spectacular, and the place itself was great! Our waiter was very kind, and the handroll and Naruto made out tastebuds sing with joy! Deeply recommend this place, 10/10. Great for all the sushi enjoyers!“

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,“

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

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

“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“

“excellent! good time with extremely friendly service in awesome atmosphere, got this deluxe sushi/sashimi dinner for lunch for 69 and was prepared right front of us fresh and great portion and all very presentable, thru my travel as truck driver this is the place i will come back 100% chef is awesome and skillful“

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

“Muy buena la atención y la comida 💪“

“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.“

“Had a good experience at Saga Hibachi. We were warmly welcomed, and the food was enjoyable overall. The staff was friendly and helpful, though they speak very little English.

Our wait staff member did her best, but we had to patiently explain our order a few times before everything came through correctly. She’s clearly still learning, so it’s worth being patient and giving her a chance.

One thing to note—the staff would often hand over food and cutlery to one person in our group and ask them to pass it around for each new item. Not a big deal for us, but it’s something others might notice or feel differently about.

Overall, still a pleasant dining experience.“

“The bomb“

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

“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.“
