50 Best Sushi Bars near Reading

“The best sushi restaurant in the North Shore, bar none! The owners are so friendly and inviting! Food is as fresh as it gets. Please support small businesses like this one! They truly deserve all the praise for their amazing service and high quality sushi“

“food and service are awesome. friendly environment. great atmosphere!“

“Delicious food. It’s the only place I go. Great service very friendly staff. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We enjoyed the omakase dinner at Akame restaurant. The restaurant is ultra small, just 6 seats during each seating so there plenty of opportunities to chat with chef and watch him create our dinner. I enjoyed creative combinations of flavors and textures. I loved all the fish offering, however my favorite turned out to be the four gras served on crispy rice crispies topped with yuzu jam and chocolate. Heavenly!
The restaurant is hidden away in an alley off Mass ave. We parked right in front of it, but did not see it, because the only sign is a black writing on the door which we could not see due to reflections. For reference, it is next to Fruitee Yogurt, which has bright signage.“

“Delicious food and staff was very friendly“

“such a good sit down poke spot hidden in a mini plaza. the owners were incredibly friendly and the service was a 10/10. it’s very cozy and comfy, and moreover the food was so good that i scraped my entire bowl clean. i wish i had a picture but i literally inhaled my bowl. i’ll definitely be coming back when i pop by the area again.“

“Absolutely my favorite place for sushi when adding together freshness, service, and timeliness. After moving to Massachusetts from Florida, there has barely been any place with real flavor up here. After checking the reviews I saw this place might have some potential for a good price. It’s a small restaurant with a few tables, and the perfect hominess. We wanted to go out somewhere for Valentine’s Day with our baby, not somewhere too crowded considering she’s in her chaotic phase, and we went here. We got a maki party platter for us and a chicken teriyaki for the baby. It’s an adult portion so we decided to have something for her to have lunch and dinner with the next day. The sushi came out and it was so amazing and honestly super fast too. Then came the babies plate, it comes with a miso soup so we were able to get her to try it and she loved that. Then we cut up her food into bite size pieces and as we were preparing it, even though I personally hate chicken, it was SO FLAVORFUL!! We had to keep going back to her plate for tiny bites because it was delicious, the chicken was NOT dry and it felt so clean and refreshing each bite. Then when in regard to the service, WOW the waitress was absolutely the sweetest ever, was so interactive with our baby and attentive to us. Our new regular place for sure.“

“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.“

“We got some good sushi rolls and for a very reasonable price, considering the area. I’m not entirely sure what the theme/aesthetic they are going for is in terms of interior decor but that doesn’t take away anything really. It’s a neighborhood joint so don’t expect a fine dining experience. But it’s good food, nice people, and decent prices. Will definitely go back!“

“I woke up this morning wanting it again. I don't just want the sushi burrito for the novelty, I want it again for its quality and its price cuz it is that damn good. I planned on getting pictures of everything but it was too beautiful of an experience not to shove down my throat immediately.“

“Came here twice and really enjoyed it! Food is delicious, servers are so kind, and it's so beautiful inside.
This place is really quiet, even on a Friday night, which is good for me, but this place needs more customers for sure!! Come & check this place out!“

“My girlfriend and I were craving sushi but it was late and almost no one was still open so we found this place on Google and decided to go. Absolutely amazing. The staff were unbelievably friendly, the food was incredible, and with absolutely unbeatable prices! It's just a nice, small and quiet little place to relax and enjoy some sushi and tea. Will absolutely be back soon and be recommending them to everyone! 10/10!! Perfect for a quiet dinner or first date. Can't wait to go back!“

“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!!“

“Steak Fried rice is their Top 5 for me here !! Tried multiple times and it’s never a miss ! Good portion , Wings is pretty decent . Sushi Is also great taste fresh 🍣 and great price as well, even got a complimentary spring roll ♥️ they have some Matcha icecream in little containers that they be giving complimentary sometimes and it’s so good too !! Support small business, they are super sweet always 🫶🏻 especially the lady in the front taking the orders“

“As always an excellent meal! Mike makes great sushi, and kitchen chefs do great things as well. Its one of our regular places.“

“Great food and food selections Extremely personable staff Reasonable prices“

“When I saw the reviews for Wasabi at Porter I assumed they hired bots...
They did NOT hire bots.
They are THAT good!!!!!!!!

The food was amazing, and the tiny metal tray (for soy/wasabi) was a nice touch! This place deserves their 5-stars! New Customer = Regular Customer Now!“

“The Korean twice-fried chicken is a great deal. For $8.25 I got 4 gigantic pieces of boneless chicken. They are really tenders and not normal boneless wings sized pieces. They are very crunchy. The soy garlic sauce doesn’t seem to stick as much as the one at Crave.

I was impressed with their presentation for the seaweed salad. It justified more the slightly high $8.50.

Minus one star because the omelette nigiri was not good.

Service is laid back helpful. This time the employee pointed me to the ordering screen to see pictures of everything.“

“Good food. Good atmosphere. Good people“

“we had 2 sushi rolls and a pi no grigio and a maitai all were greatm fresh sushi and a nice atmosphere. the place is very clean. service was great!“

“genki ya is one of my favorite sushi spots!! the food is always super fresh, the rolls are perfectly made, and the portions are really generous for the price. the staff is always so kind and fast too, it just feels like they actually care about the customers. everything tastes clean and consistent every time i go. if you love sushi, you’ll love genki ya:)“

“only downfall too warm. heat rises. otherwise great time and great staff.“

“Great food! Amazing lunch specials! Too much food I had to take home leftovers“

“Great food and service. Will go back.“

“Definitely some of the freshest and tastiest seafood and innovative sushi and asian food I've had in a while, very fresh and tasty!“

“Other than the cafeteria being full on weekends, this place is my favorite. They cook very well and ingredients are fresh. I order the bento and the level of detail is phenomenal. this is the tastiest food I've ever had and will always be coming here as long as I'm alive. The prices keep going up so I hope they calm down. The best time to come is during the week.“

“This place is one of the best places I’ve been to in a hot minute! The bottomless brunch and $4 mimosas had my best friend and I making immediate reservations! The staff and management are so sweet and truly care about the service they provide. This really is the place to go and if you haven’t yet you better get on it babe! Will be here once a month at least! Seriously obsessed! 🤍“

“reat drink “slay the dragon” worth it ! The food is delicious we got the sesame beef , tik tok chicken , Peking ravs and lomein split three ways. Service was excellent and friendly .“

“this place is such a cute, amazing spot hidden behind a parking lot. Absolutely loved the food, came back for more. This will be my sushi/poke bowl take out spot from now on. The gentleman in the register is so sweet and made great suggestions. Such a nice atmosphere. Food taste so fresh, and yummy.
They don’t disappoint!!“

“Love the place, especially Kevin, the bartender. Good service, friendly atmosphere, this is where we celebrate friends birthdays and other celebrations“

“Fantastic service, food was phenomenal and the atmosphere is perfect.

Soup dumplings, crab Rangoon, the sauce that came with the crab Rangoon and the maki exceeded my expectations and I will be coming back here whenever possible.“

“Recently had lunch here for the first time and it was soooooo good. Delicious food, warm ambience and really nice staff.“

“I'm originally from just outside New Orleans, LA. Came here with a friend and was all too curious that they had Jambalaya on the menu. I cannot stress this enough. Order the Jambalaya. It reminded me of home.“

“I ordered take out so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or service quality but I can absolutely say how I haven’t been that incredibly surprised for a very long time. I have ordered from many Asian restaurants and so often the pictures and descriptions look amazing. However, once delivered and eaten, it was all good, but didn’t have the wow factor! I ordered four different dishes from this place and every single one had the wow factor, it was such an explosion of deliciousness in each and every bite! Do yourself a favor and get your Ginger Exchange on, soooooo yummy!“

“We loved our food and had a great dining experience beside the windows in front of house. Our staff were helpful but not intrusive and we left happily full and with delicious leftovers to enjoy at home. Thank you nice folks at Fusion Taste!“

“Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.
Tip: get there early, right when they open, and you (hopefully) won’t be waiting in line.

We have offices in Japan, and we have had sushi all over the world, and this was so very very fresh. We took the bus all the way from Cambridge just to eat dinner here.

I had the Hamachi and the scallop and the Toro, all very reasonably priced and all very fresh. Really surprised at the price of the Toro, because it’s more expensive even in North Carolina! Great value for such a fresh fish.

Six dollars for a Sapporo and $11 for a carafe of hot sake was also a great deal.

We also tried the Buta Barra Kaku-ni (which was the Japanese raised pork belly). And it was outstanding! We have a lot of pork belly in the region where we live, and this interpretation of it was so tender. It just melted in your mouth!
We also tried the umaki, which was the egg and the eel combo. It was good, but I don’t think I would get that one again when there are so many other fabulous menu options. But I’m glad I tried it.

Great selection of sake as well.
We will be back when we are in Massachusetts!“

“Food was awesome and service was excellent too“

“I loved the beef tataki and spring roll!! I will definitely be going back!“

“We’ve been here multiple times, both for takeout and dine-in and the food is always outstanding and fresh. We’ve tried many different things on the menu, both sushi and Chinese food and everything is great. There is no reason to try any other restaurant- we’ve found our go-to place!!“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“5 stars! My favorite ramen! I just love coming here for the spicy sesame and visiting with the super sweet owner :)“

“The soups are to die for. The sushi and sashimi and maki are all excellent. Every appetizer is delicious, the service exceptional, and the food comes quick. A wonderful place to sit down and also to get take out from. I cannot recommend this place enough. My girlfriend and I have loved this place for months and months and will continue to come back as often as we can :D“

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!“

“I love the rustic decor. Last night was my first time there because I heard great things about it, I was not disappointed. The food was amazing and portions were huge. Our server, Joey was excellent, very attentive, polite and recommended desert. The prices are affordable and the atmosphere was energetic. Check them out- you’ll be glad you did.“

“They have the best sushi & soups. One of the best sushi places I’ve been in the North Shore Area. It’s pretty private but my family goes every week and they treat customers like gold. The lobster salad is also amazing the food quality is truthfully great. 10/10 recommend!“

“Good food, nice atmosphere!!“

“Best Chinese food ever!! drinks awesome...love the Lychee Martini...Best sushi, General Gau chicken, pork fried rice etc etc...always top notch food. it was very busy and service can be challenging but staff always smiling and tremendous efforts made. Thank you to all that made a wonderful meal“

“I haven't sorceress from this place in years and I see over the years it has changed from Billy TSEs to Billy Cs. I ordered delivery and when the driver got here, he immediately asked for a tip, before trying to give me my foodm first of all that is BEYOND RUDE. You dont know if I tipped on card or if I did have cash for you, but just EXPECTING it. No you dont get a tip in my eyes, that is not OK. If you're delivering and all you are expecting is a tip every time, I feel bad because not everyone tips.“
