“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!“

“This is a great restaurant to meet friends and family for dinner in Davis Square - excellent food and calm and quiet enough for conversation. I especially love the vegetarian sushi combo (replacing the veggie dragon roll with veggie delight roll). My family members have enjoyed the veggie tempura, yellowtail sushi, salmon teriyaki and more. The miso soup and edamame are better than most places too.“

“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!“

“PaPa Sushi is AMAZING! Went here a couple nights ago with some friends. Everything we ordered tasted SO good and so fresh. Service was great, too—never had to ask for waters refilled, and our server even flagged us down when we nearly forgot our takeout. Very calm atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and eating sushi until your heart’s content. They even have a jukebox so you can play your favorite songs. 10/10 would recommend!!“

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

“We love Mini Soup Dumpling with Pork (6 pieces), Seafood Noodles in Soup, Beef Basil Fried Rice, and Miso Soup today.
We loved the xiaolongbao, seafood noodle soup, nine-story pagoda beef fried rice and miso soup, and will come back to try the others in the future. Thanks!“

“loved my first experience, was greeted by the owner, the staff was amazing with helping me pick a certain bowl and was a cool place to sit enough the AC, fresh food and music being played while I enjoyed my lunch hour break“

“Delicious food and staff was very friendly“

“I only visited to quiet 🤫 hunger pangs, the unauthorized sequel to Games 🎯, and I was short on time. The Furikake Mac Salad appetizer looked good, the ingredients read okay, and the price is right ▶️! It tasted good and held me over till dinner.
Service was good. I was given a smile. I ordered at the self checkout screen.
I am curious about their items on the menu. They have multiple locations and I am going to recommend this one.
There is a dining area in the center of the market.
Garlic 🧄 Spam Musubi? I hope Vikings do not show up!“

“As close to an authentic omakase experience as it gets outside of Japan. The quality of the food (texture + flavor) as well as the presentation were all mind blowing. Service was also great. Dan was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu, being able to give a detailed description about each item he was asked about. I’m definitely coming back!“

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!“

“Best authentic Sushi I had in the US! They brought Sushi chefs from Japan! 🇯🇵“

“Great food and great service“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“Love it! Ingredients were fresh and the sushi rice was delicious! Will definitely return 😋“

“Very tasty food, great service. No reservations, first come first serve. Prices are not super inexpensive but it is worth the cost. We were only grabbing a snack as we had some commitment afterward. Only pitty is that it is difficult to share bites if you are like me and want to try it all. I guess we will have to come back! 😜
My favorite was the shrimp tempura, but the eel was great too.“

“Delicious Enmi ramen! First time seeing a citrusy yuzu-based ramen on a menu, and it was yummmy! Our server Justin was also so warm and welcoming, subbing the broth out for a vegan one. And the atmosphere is so cozy and intimate, will be back the next time we're in Boston for sure!“

“Friendly service with awesome sushi. Best around town.“

“Sleek ambience, fresh and creative dishes and attentive service make it perfect for a special night out. Must visit for sushi lovers!“

“I love this place. It is my local go to for sushi twice a week. Always fresh and delicious. Favorite Chef Specials: Honey Bear Maki, Beauty on the Beach, Volcano Maki and Building Department Maki and the Sushi Roll Futo Maki. Friendly staff and very clean.“

“An absolute gem nestled in the heart of Lexington, MA with a unique experience. A non-traditional take on sushi while adhering to the core of what makes a sushi, sushi. Every bite was a journey with interesting combination of toppings that compliment the fish beautifully. A very intimate experience with one chef and six seats where you get to dive deep into conversation with the chef about his journey. He delivers high quality food at a very good flow while maintaining good conversation with the guests. What I really appreciated about the chef is that he plays the energy off of the guests seated at the table instead of trying to force conversation with the guests.“

“The best restaurant in Dedham! Always spotless, with friendly staff who make you feel welcome every time. The poke bowl is absolutely out of this world. If you’re looking for great sushi and a cozy atmosphere, don’t look any further! ♥️“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“I was so excited when we were going to go here.as soon as I tried the food I loved it.i liked the sushi because the sushi was just the right size and the noodles were really good because the sauce made them so juicy.lastly I loved the Japanese soda. From Polina 🩷“

“Best udon noodles ever 🥰 beef with kimchi nice and warm on a rainy day.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“This was a fabulous experience for our family. In addition to the good food, the service was so thoughtful. The waiter was very kind about me having young children and offered great options and service accordingly. I felt very welcomed and catered to.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this poke spot! I got a poke bowl and was really impressed by how fresh and flavorful everything was. The ingredients were top quality—especially the yellowtail and avocado—and I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the price was. It’s rare to find a place that doesn’t overcharge for premium ingredients like those. Definitely a win, and I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“grabbed a takeout box for $18 and it was really good! the maki was generously filled and the nigiri were fresh and delicious. all the nigiri are paired with a small dot of a unique garnish which elevated them - i do wish there was more of the garnish on each piece to better appreciate the flavour pairings. would eat again!“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I originally stopped in for a quick snack, and we ended up staying for dinner because everything was that good. I got the brown sugar boba milk tea, and she got an ice cream with cute little decorations—it looked great and tasted even better. I was impressed that the boba came in a reusable can with the restaurant’s logo on it. I actually took it home, washed it out, and put it on my shelf because it looked so nice.

Both times we came in, the person at the front was super kind and welcoming. It was two different people, but both were genuinely friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. It added a really nice touch to the whole experience.

After walking around Cambridge a bit, we realized we didn’t feel like eating anywhere else—we came right back and ordered shrimp tempura sushi and more boba. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Everything we had tasted great.

Prices are on the higher side, but that’s expected in Cambridge. The portions could be a bit bigger, but the quality definitely makes up for it. No complaints at all—great staff, great food, and a cozy vibe. We’re definitely coming back soon!“

“Best sushi I’ve had! Friendly staff; amazing food- lots of choice, interesting combinations, fresh, gluten free friendly (they make their own soy sauce even!); casual vibe; beautiful space.“

“Don’t be fooled by the somewhat outdated interior and hole in the wall feel. The focus here is on the food!

Good quality fish, creative rolls, and efficient service. The price-to-value ratio can’t be beat. Tastes that much better with the reasonable prices. Note that you can tell the fish is not top-notch quality, but it hits all the right notes for an everyday sushi craving. Some rolls are more outstanding than others. My favorite so far was one that incorporated crunchy tempura bits into the minced tuna topping (forgot the name!).

We loved our recent visits so much that we’re getting platters from here for a holiday party. I’m pretty sure they’re going to be a hit.“

“Great food & staff. Parking is a challenge but worth it.“

“Mind-Blowing Culinary Experience at UNI Dining at UNI is nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Take's talent is truly remarkable, turning every dish into a masterpiece. The sashimi is unbelievably fresh, each slice practically melts in your mouth, showcasing the incredible quality and craftsmanship that UNI is known for. One of the standout dishes was the Foie Gras sushi with pop rocks and strawberry. The combination of flavors and textures was nothing short of genius—a perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and a playful pop that left me in awe. It’s a daring creation that speaks to Chef Take’s innovative spirit. My personal favorite, though, has to be the Toro topped with caviar. The buttery, luxurious texture of the Toro paired with the briny burst of caviar is an experience I won't soon forget. It's the kind of sushi that dreams are made of. The service at UNI is also top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like a VIP from start to finish. They are well-versed in the menu and make excellent recommendations, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless and memorable. UNI is, without a doubt, a dining destination that should be on every food lover’s bucket list. Chef Take’s talent shines through in every dish, making it an unforgettable experience.“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“We live in Winchester, and we have ordered takeout at Umi Sushi twice now. The sushi, the entire order has been extremely fresh, well-packaged, and just delicious. Umi Sushi will be our 'go-to' going forward. The staff are all friendly and responsive. It's a home run for people who love fresh sushi and a local setting.“

“The best in Boston.“

“Fabulous as always!“

“Sushi Man is a restaurant with a long history in the Newton area, first being located in a smaller area right off of Route 9 before moving to their current location a few years ago.

The staff are really friendly and make the food quite quickly, reminds me of the service we used to get in the past.

The food was of good quality and how I remember it. It does tend to be on the expensive side for these meals, but was still pretty good and tasted well. The sushi was fresh, with good rice to fish ratio and presented well. The udon had a good broth that went well with the noodles, and had some toppings and sides that were crisp and tasty.“

“Stayed at hilton near restaurant. The building is nice. Inside is really nice and clean. Staff was really good and very friendly. Food we all got was amazing. Crab ragoon, yellow curry, pork ribs, spicy tuna, and tonkatsu was delicious. I highly recommend this place if near by.“

“A literally hidden gem on the busy Harvard Street. Nestled in the basement level of a red building, this seemingly suspicious looking place is actually packed with a friendly environment, good food, and good service. I came in with low expectations and was very much surprised.

From my photos, I ordered the patriot roll, black dragon roll, tornado maki, and fried softshell crab. It all tasted delicious. VERY delicious. The sauces that came with the special sushi rolls are supreme and they were packed with ingredients. Pricing was as expected and for some strange reason their canned Coca-Cola tasted really good too.

Only caveat is that this restaurant only accepts cash but they have an ATM.“

“Loved the food, the service, great place 🙌🏼“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“I love this spot! We've gotten the lunch bentos several times and the food is always fresh, generous, and delicious. I like the tofu bento and my husband (who is picky!) praises the steak option. You get a lot of food for your money - lunch bento includes a lovely little salad, miso soup, green tea ice cream, gyoza, California roll and your entree. Highly recommend!“

“It's kn a Food court, therefore the ambience isxmaybe notcthe most cozy one, but it's okay. The wuality of the Food is always excellent and very fresh. Service is always friendly and efficient in a very good way. The ratio price/quality is okay, prices are fair. I'm always happy to come back eevery time I come to Boston. Thank you! 😋😋😋😃“

“Excellent salmon bento box!“
