“This was our second time dining at Ebi Sushi, and just like our first visit, everything was fantastic. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared every time. Our server, Amanda, was wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It’s service like hers that really adds to the experience. Jose, the owner, has truly outdone himself with this place. You can tell he takes great pride in what he’s built from the quality of the dishes to the amazing team that brings it all together. We’ll definitely be back again before the new location opens, and we’re looking forward to visiting that one as well. Ebi Sushi has become one of our favorite date night spots consistently great food, great people, and a great vibe. 🍣❤️“

“Thank you to Chef Jon for allowing us to pick up a package of frozen dumplings during our visit to Artifact on Memorial Day. Cooked them up tonight and they were delicious, as was the edamame salad!!“

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

“Everything we had was tasty, and the prices weren't too crazy. The sashimi was great, edamame was tasty, and I liked the specialty roll we got, the Hawaii roll. The only caveat is the chicken teriyaki was a bit overcooked, but it was a good portion.“

“Tried it for the first time at the farmers market, it was super delicious. I will absolutely be buying it again.“

“I made a custom order for my anniversary with my wife. Lavender honey is flavorful and yet not too sweet. Tamy is friendly and makes the ordering process so easy!“

“Thank you Alan and Lotus Xpress for catering my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. Alan, you were wonderful to work with during the planning process- providing options and tending to all the details. The food was AMAZING! Delicious and a great variety. The day of the event, it was such a relief to have you there- catering to our 75 guests. As the host of the party, it gave me great ease knowing you were tending to the buffet and I was able to relax and tend to the guests! The food made the event. Thank you for helping make the event a success!“

“We come to Boston every 6 months, this restaurant is within walking distance of our hotel and our go to place. Such great food amd amazing service! We love our waiter Robin!“

“Amazing service and attentive staff. Great place to come for all occasions!“

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

“Great newer option in the area - got delivery
. Shengjian bao was juicy and fresh. So often you get dried out filling but not here. Beef chow fun was also a standout - the noodles were great and the beef pieces were big.

Orange chicken was good - actual charred orange peel in it.

Rangoons were triangle shape with a little crimp, which for me has a little too much filling, and seems like they use cilantro in their filling (not a cilantro person). Cooked well, just less my style.

Next time I want to go in person to try the xiao long bao, salt and pepper pork chop and all the other stuff that doesn’t travel as well. The menu looks great.“
