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

“Delicious food and staff was very friendly“

“The sushi was delicious, but the price is not for the faint of heart! A nice treat, and the best quality fish I've had outside of Japan. Chef Mike worked diligently to deliver a great experience. I also liked the lack of pretentiousness in his shop. I imagine that if someone were to ask for a fork, he'd hardly bat an eye. The focus here is really on the food, and he checks that box.“

“really good sushi if you’re looking for a quick bite! service is super fast and portions are great!

i would order sushi instead of the poke bowls as they’re more tasty/flavorful. the yogurt drinks were a little too sweet but that’s personal preference

would definitely be ordering here again if i’m looking to eat some sushi in the local area :)“

“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.“

“As good as it gets for sushi around Boston. Super fresh, good amount of options but not overwhelming. Poke bowls are awesome as well. Any time I pick it up directly the staff are super nice and helpful as well. If you’re looking for top-quality sushi, without paying downtown prices, order it here.“

“A  reliably fresh poke spot in Porter Square.

For the past few months, Ono Pokebar has been one of my go-to delivery spots for poke bowls, and that’s largely because of one key factor: consistency. The number one thing I look for in a poke bar is reliable portion sizes. When these places first open, they usually get great reviews for their generous servings, but give it a few months, and the portions start shrinking until they’re no different from any other run-of-the-mill poke spot. Sure, creative toppings and unique sauces can add some flair, but if I can’t count on consistent portions from visit to visit, I’m less likely to return.

That’s what sets Ono Pokebar apart. Most of the time, the bowls are served up by members of the owner’s family, so the portions are reliably the same every time. While they might not be the biggest bowls out there, they’re just the right size to leave me satisfied without worrying if I’ll still be hungry afterward.

When it comes to their poke, Ono Pokebar delivers exactly what you’d expect from a solid spot—fresh fish, flavorful sauces, and all the crunchy toppings that make a bowl satisfying. While they don’t have a ton of unique toppings, it’s the kind of reliable place I’d dash to the moment a poke craving hits.

“My favorite spot to order a sushi delivery feast. The portions are larger than expected for the price. It's thoughtfully packaged so everything's separated and the right temp on arrival. Flavors are out of control good!! Don't miss the Idaho Roll.“

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

“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!!“

“Clean, considerate, affordable, and professional. Sushi of the highest quality! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🍣“

“The potatoes were really cool textured, nice crisp and cube shape is interesting. The flavor was great, can never go wrong with the mayo and eel sauce and fish flakes.The volcano roll was a great portion size, and lots of good scallop meat, would recommend“

“I often take my friends to this place with my warmest recommendations. I visit this place often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are yummy and the crew is efficient and cooperative. always when we go to this place we have a pleasing evening. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“I picked up the Sushi & Special Roll Large Party tray today that I ordered a few days ago. I had this for lunch while visiting my friend's house. As soon as they saw this party tray, they cheered a lot. It looks so delicious! and so great! Today my friend, his family and all of my family had a great time with this party tray and ate well and ate a lot. I'm strongly recommending this party plates.“

“Good food. Good atmosphere. Good people“

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

“Great food with gluten free options!“

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

“I love I Love Sushi! The sushi is delicious and the portions are generous, service is fast and efficient. It's counter service, so you can pull up here and grab a menu and mark down what you want and be eating before you know it. I like that the check comes quickly and I can be on my way again. And, of course, the folks running the place are very nice.“

“Most if not all of the bad reviews of this place have to do with the owner at the cash register who doesn’t speak good English and has a short temper with guests. While I have personally had 0 issues with her, I can understand peoples complaints. If you accept and respect her as a given with ordering then there really isn’t much else to complain about. The sushi is the cheapest you will find in the state for the quality in which they make it. Quality is between super market and restaurant level but for less than super market price. I highly recommend as long as you have the right expectations.“

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

“Great food and service. Will go back.“

“I eat at Soi 8 on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was clean and quiet. The service was great! We ordered the sushi which was pretty good. We also tried the fried rice which was very sweet and the drunken noodles. I would definitely go back for the sushi!“

“Started going to toraya when it was smaller. I would not say I know much about Japanese food, but I can say this is the restaurant I go to.

Fish are fresh.
Service is friendly and knowledgeable
Price is great
Presentation is pleasing

I know it is not easy to get a table even on weekdays. But it is worth it.

Parking: Typical Mass Ave Street parking expectation. If you don't mind 5min walk. You can find a spot“

“Food was awesome and service was excellent too“

“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!“

“Delicious food, friendly attentive staff and wide selection of menu items. Visiting from Alaska and we were told this was the best. They weren’t wrong.“

“My husband and I love J&J! We’ve been going faithfully since they opened. They have the best owners, staff, and Chinese/Asian fusion food in the area. Their sushi and drinks are top notch. Most importantly the service is amazing. We got a few trays of food from them too for New Year’s Eve. Not sure if they offer catering all the time but would def suggest not only dining in the restaurant but ordering takeout/catering as well!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“On a family trip in Mass. and stayed @ Hampton inn. This was very convenient and close by and even 20 minutes before closing they attended me with a smile along with great hospitality. We ordered from the main entrees which by portion size was very filling and I of course had sushi while waiting for them to complete my order.
It was mouth watering and extremely delicious!!! Hands down the best I ever had. Thank you for the great food and great experience at your restaurant!“

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

“We enjoyed our Thai Pancakes, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice. The staff was so sweet with my son too. He's 2 years old and still learning to eat outside quietly. He approves of the Thai Pancakes...he tried to stuff a whole one in his mouth. Going back to try their fried rice...my Dad made Thai Fried Rice for us growing up. So, I am excited to try theirs.

Also, I am gluten free and dairy free. So, all the dishes we've tried meet those requirements.“

“Great experience! Staff and food was amazing“

“Fusion Taste is a great spot to enjoy solid Chinese food, a huge sushi bar, or grab a drink at the full bar. There’s table service and the bar can provide beer, wine, and a variety of Asian cocktails or traditional cocktails. You will not be disappointed. I would recommend a visit or even takeout!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of dishes can be prepared meatless

Parking: There’s a small lot right out front. Inexpensive paid parking but free at night and on Sunday.

Kid-friendliness: Hugh chairs available. Plenty of options for a young one.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entry. Door is not electronic but swings open with a flat entrance to get in.“

“Delicious sushi, always fresh. Healthy pours, good wine selection. Their non sushi is great too, we like the chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce. Wonderful having them in a neighborhood that doesn’t have many options nearby. They make a mean mai tai.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“I'm new to the Boston area and this place has the best poke bowl I've ever had in my life. I will drive the extra distance just to come here.

The freshness of the fish and the quantity in the poke bowl was simply amazing. I will come back here many times I just wish it was closer to my house.“

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

“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“

“What a cozy & cute place! We got the spicy tuna roll, salmon/avocado maki, & the beef udon, & it was soooooo TASTY! We also go the Dumpling Miso Soup & it was the BEST we ever had! Thank you to your team for such a cozy & tasty experience! :)“

“I ordered the Flat noodle (with beef) , and spring rolls. Tasty! (Er, came out piping hot, so make sure to give it a moment before chowing down). No frill, but a very cool computer takes your order, great for takeout. Sitting down near the window gives a nice view of the Belmont arch and Belmont Center.“

“Everything fresh, delicious, and artfully presented by the husband and wife team who run the place all by themselves.“

“Love this place great food and service“

“Ordered Hamachi Nigiri and Pad Thai, both of which are good indicators of overall quality for places offering sushi and thai. Both were excellent. The Pad Thai appeared to be made to order—which isn't always the case—and the seasoning was well-balanced. The fish for the Hamachi Nigiri was fresh, with a generous cut. However, I wish the sushi rice had been made daily; it was fine, but this is one area where there's room for improvement. Some of the rice was a bit tough. Making it more often would really help.

I kinda assumed it would not be good and food is clealry not prepared by a 'chef' but systems are clearly in place to mitigate that. This place really exceeded expectations. Pleasently surprised!

Edit: Went back a second time and it was the same. The rice was still a bit less than fresh though. If they could fix that, I'd grab stuff from here far more often.“
