“Easily one of my new favorite Chinese restaurants. I love their hot pot Korean kimchi broth. It's very spicy, tart, sweet, and hits all the taste buds. Their Szechuan broth is also really good too. Service was also extremely fast and staff were super friendly. Will definitely visit again and recommend to others!Parking: Parking garage at 660 Washington St. Costs $7 (cash only) to validate.“
“Absolutely loved it! We had the karami and enmi ramen, and shared the gyoza. We finished every last drop of the ramen and wanted to bathe in the sauce on the gyoza OMG. It was thriving and happening on a Wednesday night, and the waitstaff were lovely and attentive. Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu!“
“We got the salmon cups, which was very hearty and yummy! We also got the Botan Ebi Ikura and the Miso Butter Cod and another handroll which I forgot but all were so fresh and delicious in their own ways. We did have to wait 20 minutes to be seated since it is a small space, but it was totally worth it!“
“Most authentic omakase experience. No frills, but straight focus on quality dishes—seafood, meat, flavors all amazing.This is the spot. Don’t hesitate, book it for that special occasion or if you just want a couple hours of amazing food.Service was great. Recommend the bar seating to see all the prep.Not fancy necessarily, but that’s what makes this place great. It’s an awesome experience that feels like a Japanese hole in the wall.“
“It’s been a couple years since i’ve been. Best Sushi i’ve ever had in my life. I daydream about the tiger roll. Best thing in the entire menu (and a top 3 thing I ate in Boston) was the torched Salmon Belly. Great drinks, servers, ambiance, and never too busy. Definitely and sleeper and I can’t wait to return.“
“This was an amazing Omasake experience in Lexington. Chef Mike prepares all of the sushi fresh in front of you. He is committed to pushing himself to create unique and different flavors. Definitely the best omakese we've had in the Boston area. Could not recommend more if you want great food with a relaxed, cozy atmosphere.“
“Overall loved the sushi, the wait staff, and the experience. It was a little darker than what I would have wanting in terms of lighting. But other than that would book again for sure. The sushi was so good. And our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable.“
“Came here last month and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I appreciated how the front of house told us (before seating us) that if we order sushi, it'd take about an hour to prepare the food because they were so busy. Obviously, because it was a Saturday night.Agedashi tofu - As a tofu lover who often orders this dish, I thought it was super yummy and have great flavor & texture. There were four large cubes and came with a lot of garnishes.Nagaimo Teppan - My friends and I were curious about this dish, but it ended up being very different from what we expected. The texture was crumbly and the flavor was not as good as we anticipated. It was an interesting experience but not worth the price for us.Omusoba - SO GOOD. I wish we ordered less so that I had space to eat more of this dish. The flavors were amazing, especially with the seaweed and mayo on top. I loved that there were noodles inside, since I'm an avid noodle enjoyer.Niku Udon - I was craving something soupy, and this dish was exactly what I was looking for. The noodles weren't the typical thick udon noodles, but instead were more flat. The beef was cooked very well and there was just the right amount of it. The flavor was great and the portion was perfect. LOVED this one!Crab Croquette - My first time having this dish and it was above my expectations. It and the same yummy sauce that was on the omusoba and came with a little bit of salad. The croquettes themselves were cooked very well, but were very filling. Would definitely recommend if you like fried food!In terms of service and layout, the place was pretty full when I went, so I had to sit on a long table in the middle of the room, where servers were constantly going back and forth behind me (I didn't mind it). The servers themselves are kind and welcome to the guests, and the food came out pretty quickly. There is a bar as well as an open kitchen were I could see the sushi chef work his craft. There was overall just a great sense of community inside. Unfortunately, because of its location, the restaurant does not have their own bathroom. Instead, we had to leave the restaurant and go around the corner of the "mall" to use the public bathroom. It was fine.In conclusion, I highly recommend going, especially when they aren't busy“
“Only place I go for take out!Fresh, well packaged and consistently great.I am a very picky eater and modify everything, EVERY TIME they make sure I get what I need. Any issues from reviews I see are from Uber eats and recommend ordering online and picking up in store.They’re always busy so give yourself a little extra time, with the understanding they are a small staff making everything in house!“
“Exceptional meal...so focused on the food and conversation I forgot to take any pictures. Would definitely recommend. All the sushi/sashimi we had was fresh and very nicely done. We did the gyoza which were nice...but the Chiharu pancakes were amazing..would go back just for those.“
“The truffle Mac and cheese and No 9 Truffle salt ramen were delicious! I ordered these online to be delivered to my hotel room and it came right to my door and in sustainable mostly paper packaging (no styrofoam!). Would eat here again!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Vegan“
“This high-end sushi restaurant offers exceptionally fresh fish and top-notch service. Our party of six opted for the family-style dining experience, and we were all delighted by the incredible dishes served. Each dish was truly amazing, showcasing the chef's skill and the quality of the ingredients.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with outstanding sushi.“
“I really enjoyed my dining experience here to celebrate my birthday by myself. The seating arrangement is assigned when you first enter the dining room. The fish was very high quality and service was very thorough and courteous. Would love to come back and bring some friends in the future.“
“Jan 2024:Party of 10Sushi rolls were surprisingly delicious and fresh and presentation was nice! I enjoyed the crab ragoons they were. Perfectly crispy and warm. Had the pad thai with tofu it was delicious although the tofu was a bit much and I prefer it fully grilled and not mushy.“
“Cozy atmosphere, decent prices, free miso soup no matter what you order.Server kept forgetting items in our order but we would ask and he would say they're on their way.. I assure you, the tea coming after the sushi boat was made and eaten was definitely a forgotten tea.They have gluten free soy sauce and as a vegetarian I was able to eat a cucumber avocado roll.Vegetarian options: Not labeled on menu but you could ask.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free soy sauce.“
“They have lots of interesting dishes that you don’t usually find in a sushi restaurant in the US. The location is also great, with lots of restaurants and pubs nearby. They also have metered street parking nearby.Parking: Paid street parking from Mon/Sat during the day. Evenings and Sundays are free.“
“My local friends kept recommending this restaurant, so I’m glad I finally had the chance to try it out. Great service, great food, and cute vibes. I have no complaints, and I would recommend it. The dishes (in pictures) was so fulfilling, and the shrimp was soooo buttery!“
“Very nice sushi place. It is not very big, but had loads of small tables for two and four. I came at 7 o'clock on a Saturday and could only sit at the sushi bar itself (four seats) They had a nice set of sushi options, including an all salmon, sashimi and rolls.“
“This is some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The fatty blue fin tuna is like wagyu of tuna (see picture). This type of cut is very rare.The place is not very big, with about 30 seats, so if it’s busy you may need to wait to be seated. Luckily the service is very fast and on-point. The chef (itamae) is super friendly and can create a-la-carte rolls.Super Fusion Sushi is now my favorite sushi place in the Boston area. Two thumbs up!!“
“Delicious and fresh sushi and sashimi at a hidden spot! But as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Come on, store! We got the toro tataki and scallop uni tataki as well as the toro hand roll from the omakase menu, and the lunch special makimono. All amazingly tasty and we are hungry for more!“
“absolutely my favorite hidden gem!!! delicious food, friendly service, very clean establishment!!! do urself a favor and get food here- takeout or dine in!!!! left my water bottle inside during SNOW STORM and she ran outside to my car to bring to me!! A+++++ SERVICE!“
“Soba has been on my food bucket list and I think this spot gave a very authentic soba experience. The food was all very refreshing and pleasant to eat, which is probably the main draw of soba. The mild flavors mean you can effortlessly finish the large portion of noodles and tempura in the meal set without the typical fatigue you get from a large bowl of noodles and plate of fried foods. All the fried foods we got were cooked to crispy perfection and were definitely my favorite bites. Ultimately though I just think I’m not the biggest fan of soba. I don’t imagine myself craving soba but I would be open to trying different styles of it if given the chance. Thank you to Sugidama for a great meal regardless.“
“The sushi was fantastic. I based going there solely on the google review and it did not disappoint. Specifically, the salmon was amazing. Probably the best sushi grade salmon we have ever had. I wouldn't say the atmosphere is anything out of the ordinary, the service was good even though only one waitress for the number of tables. She was quite attentive and once ordered the food came out fast and presentation was great. If you want good sushi, I highly recommend Matsuba. Probably an excellent take out option and pricing was on par or slightly better than average in my opinion.Parking: There is a lot within a couple minute walk.“
“We had an excellent meal with excellent service in a lovely restaurant. Sushi presentation was creative, fresh and delicious. The drinks were creative and also delicious. Their specialty cocktail with particularly good. We’ve been there more than once, and fully intend to go back again. We recommend this place very much. One of our favorites.Parking: No problems finding parking nearby.“
“Came in from out of town and Fiji did not disappoint. I got the A5 Waygu. It comes for you to cook on a hot stone yourself. Absolutely melts in your mouth. Server was Japanese as well. Good vibe in there. $82 plate but worth it if you want something small but delicious.“
“Hands down the best sushi in Boston! UNI has quickly earned its place as my go-to for celebratory dinners with my partner. Fantastic place to impress a date or family with a cool and fun atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming service ties this delicious experience together. We can't wait to go back!“
“The sushi at this place is a true masterpiece. The food is amazing and crafted with freshest ingredients. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special night out. Easily a five-star experience and highly recommended sushi place!“
“Truly one of the best sushi meals I’ve ever had - and I’ve been eating sushi around the world. Every single thing I’ve tried is beyond delicious, inventive, and super fresh. This is a MUST for sushi lovers!!!! I have no photos because the food was waaaay too good to wait!“
“I've gotten poke from here a couple times now and I'm never disappointed! I usually build my own bowl and the fish is very fresh and in good sized-chunks. They have a good variety of toppings too. The first time I came in here I was having trouble deciding which sauce to get and the guy working the counter let me taste spoonfuls of them (so they go above and beyond). I've only ever gotten it to go but they have a bit of seating inside.“

“OK but like this is where you can get Omakasa without paying $200 and wait for a month for it!!I absolutely love the Omakasa here because it came with Uni, miso soup, rice, seaweed for handmade maki, various salt flavoring, and everything was super fresh. It was 79$ for my portion and I love it. So worth it!“
“My experience at Shore Leave was stellar. Choosing the Omakase option at Shore Leave was a spectacular choice, as for the price, it is a fantastic option for those who are willing to explore into different tastes and experiences. Vincent, the chef behind the Omakase counter, was diligent and experienced, offering insights on each of the dishes on the Omakase menu. I’d highly recommend being under his care, as he was patient with my questioning and left me excited to return once more should I choose Omakase. Chaz was a wonderful server who took care of me wonderfully; with their assistance, I tried a sake I would not have normally tried as per her recommendation. Had I chosen myself, I would have never made an attempt at it— but I did with Chaz’ recommendation and I greatly enjoyed it! If you are willing to spend a bit more, you will be pleased beyond measure. Go to the Omakase counter and you won’t regret it! The only reason I lack pictures is because I simply enjoyed it too much to put my phone down!“
“If you're seeking an authentic sushi experience in South Boston, Sushi Moka is unparalleled. Beyond its fresh offerings, what sets it apart is the personal touch. Every visit feels like a reunion; the staff not only remembers your face but also your favorite dishes. This level of recognition and attention to detail makes dining here truly memorable and authentic.“
“The food was excellent so I'd give 5 stars just for that but they went above and beyond to cater to our kids food allergies, which is always difficult when you are traveling and have to eat out.The lady then took time to speak with our boys, ask them they're name and wrote it out in Thai on a piece of paper for them to take home as well as teach them how to pronounce it. Our boys were super happy.I would 100% return.Dietary restrictions: Allergies“
“I am literally writing this as I eat because it is THAT good. I went to Japan a few years ago and this is better than the sushi, sashimi and gyoza I had there. The presentation, quality, attention to detail is all impeccable. I would recommend this to anyone.“
“For a suburban area to serve decent Japanese food is rare. They do a lot of take out orders and they get busy on the weekends. They have good tasting sashimi, sushi, and hand rolls. I would avoid the rice bowls such as chicken or beef. Rolls were fresh and the waitress was friendly and honest. Parking can be located on the street or in the back for complimentary parking.“
“Chris is a talented chef and a kind host. He was attentive to our unique tastes and was informative on the decisions for each dish. His description of the dishes and how they paired with sake made the experience memorable. The ingredients felt fresh and special. Absolutely worth a special evening.“
“I think this was a solid 4/5 stars experience. It was better than just okay, but not like "wow, I'm in love." Admittedly, I've only started to appreciate sushi in the past couple of years, but I have a clue.I got the salmon roll and the spicy tuna roll, and I thought they were good but not great. The salmon had a nice texture but a bit of a fishy taste. The spicy tuna was better -- not very spicy though, which is fine for my Midwest palate. I'm glad I got two rolls, because the rolls were pretty small.I thought this was good, but slightly less tasty than the pre-packed sushi rolls I get at the supermarket sushi counter -- and I'm not talking about Whole Foods here -- I'm talking about Meijer, our supermarket chain in Michigan. The sushi rolls we make at home are way better. I went there with a co-worker from California, and she thought it was pretty good, if that helps.Still...good, not great. Four stars.“
“When arriving to the place, they offer valet parking, which is pretty nice. However, I parked the first spot next to the restaurant which has a tree branch next to the curb, so I literally had to squeeze out of my way from my car, and making sure I didn’t kill the tree. That was poor a landscaping choice. As you first walk in the ambience is well put, the dimness of it makes it a great nighttime experience, but sometimes it can be too dark to see anything but I think that’s kind of the point. It gives off a Contemporary vibe for social media. The seatings near the windows are so close to each other that I could barely get into my seat across from my friend so I had to sit next to her because I didn’t want to bother the people behind, so maybe try to space out better? For the price point and food I think it was a bit underwhelming. For one you’re not gonna be expected a sized portions, it’s pork one serving if not a half. I ordered the hand roll miso scallop, which I felt like they added too much chili pepper flakes making it, overpowering the entire thing. The tuna and truffle, was underwhelming, wasn’t a huge fan of the plating, and it was okay taste. I think the flavor could do some more work in both dishes. The edamame and corn were pretty solid for bites at the bar! Don’t get me wrong, the sushi there is fresh, but it doesn’t quite meet up the expectation I had anticipated. You’re expected to spend quite an amount, but not fully ever get full off of it. I would definitely recommend for the atmosphere but food is just something that I wouldn’t gravitate towards.“
“Great place! Had a meeting at Milk Street Cafe and had no idea it was a Kosher restaurant, and was pleasantly surprised. They have multiple kitchens so you can have both meat or dairy. The salads and soups are great. Great option for easy lunch in this neighborhood.“
“A lot of the shops in this spot have a hole-in-the-wall vibe. Avana Sushi used to be a go-to spot for me because the sushi was decent for the price. Dining in can be uncomfortable, as there are only a few stools around a small stall, so I prefer take-out. However, you can contribute a drawing to the iconic paper plate wall if you sit down. You can’t go wrong with a spicy salmon/tuna maki roll, but I like the special rolls more, specifically the Spicy Red Sox Maki or Spicy Mountain Roll. Grab dessert from the egg puff lady to the right.“
“Super Fusion has amazing quality fresh sushi at great prices. It's a tiny hidden gem that is fantastic and convenient for a quick lunch or takeout. They only have a couple tables and it's very simple ambiance as the focus here is on high quality sushi and freshest ingredients! Plus they might offer BYOB if you want to bring Sake!“
“Great place! Very clean & the staff is very friendly! The sushi is absolutely delicious! I got the beef bento box... Is was delicious & a great deal.. large portion! I also got the volcano roll! It was delicious! I will definitely be going back! Very humble people! Please give them a try!“
“My boyfriend and I just went here and split a few sushi rolls and the chicken Kara age. All of the food was really delicious, might be the best kara age I’ve ever had, and their lunch menu pricing is really reasonable. Our waitress was really nice and all the food came out quickly.“
“We were deciding what to eat for our anniversary dinner. One kid wants sushi, another wanted ramen or chicken katsu, wife wanted sashimi and I wanted Yakitori. We landed on Omori Izakaya.Parking was easy right on the same street and plenty of spots available at dinner time on a Saturday.We got there earlier than our reservation. We were seated immediately with maybe few more tables open. We order some Yakitori and appetizers to start. The pork belly, chicken gizzards and chicken hearts were extremely flavorful. The chicken skin was crunchy perfection. The octopus was grilled to perfection with a little of mixed spices on top. Hotate Kaiyaki came out on a little warmer with a little flame and very cool presentation. Tako Yaki was good as well.For main courses we order chicken katsu dinner and dragon roll and caterpillar and sashimi combo. The kids love the chicken katsu. They also loved the maki rolls. Sashimi also fresh.Overall we had a great time. The food were very good. The stars were the Yakitori skewers.Parking: Plenty of meter parking on the same street as the restaurant.“
“This place was a hidden gem; even their entrance felt hidden. We came here after dinner to drink; we ordered three rounds. We tried Rio to Tokyo, San Juan to Hanoi, Lima to Dubai, Pennies del cielo, and Guavaleada. It was interesting that they mixed flavors from the departure city to the final destination into a drink. All drinks are presented beautifully, and you really can taste the alcohol. Since we both can't drink without snacks, even though we had dinner less than half an hour ago, we ordered the wagyu temaki, snow crab temaki, negi toro temaki, and yuzu rotate temaki. The quality of the ingredients was fresh, and there was not much rice. The menu is limited; don't come here if you expect a full meal unless you want to eat a poke bowl and/or are willing to pay a lot more just for small bites. I am willing to return if I am around the area for drinks and small bites.“
“Great small sushi restaurant right on Mass Ave in Cambridge. Specialty rolls such as Sakana, Rocky Road, and Crimson are really impressive with a variety of flavors and textures. Standard sushi such as salmon avocado also very good. Great service and great sake options as well. Small space but very cute and comfortable for a date night.“
“I really fell in love with the sushi bomb roll. I ordered it from DoorDash with some vegetables rolls & both were great. It was my first time trying sushi as well from an actual restaurant so it was very Good to me. The sushi was 15 dollars & the rolls were 5 dollars in my opinion it was totally worth it. I’m going to bring my family there one of these days to try out other stuff they have.“

“Pleasantly surprised! We came here on a Saturday for lunch and ordered plenty of dishes which we all enjoyed. We tried the string beans, spicy fish filets, Shanghai noodles, fried rice and smoked duck. The Shanghai noodles were more of a crispy chow mein than the thicker noodle I was expecting, but it was still yummy! Service was nice and attentive as well. Unassuming on the outside, but great taste and big portions.“
“We are at FlBat baby on a recent Saturday night The sushi was excellent as was the service . We had the dragon roll, tuna rice cakes and the shrimp noodles The 8 piece dragon roll was very good, with just right crunch for the tempura shrimp. My favorite was the tuna rice cakes. These bite sized pieces had a layer of tuna that melted in your mouth, along with the perfect tasting cakes which were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The only disappointment was the shrimp noodle dish. Although tasty, this shrimp in this dish were a bit tough. The noise level was too much for us but I would return on a different day.“
“I like to go with friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I go their often. This recommendation is always successful. The the food there is fantastic and the stuff is generous and cooperative. always when we eat in this place we pass a pleasing time. warmly recommended.“
