The service was excellent, and the food was excellent. I had some shrimp tempura and a ribeye soup bowl. I recommend visiting for a quick solo or friends lunch.“

“Great teriyaki plate. You have to go with the double meat and you wont be disappointed. The veggies could definitely use some love but over the plate was tasty and gave me all the protein and flavor I needed. This place is in a food hall with a ton of other options. Receipt shown is for a double meat plate.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly recommend the firecracker roll or the Incredible Hulk roll… and finish off with some tempura fried Oreos (enough to share!) Ask for Dominic… outstanding service, attentive, great suggestions and awesome vibes all around.“

“I discovered Gachi from my previous airport lay overs. I have low expectations of airport restaurants and was pleasantly surprised when I dined at Gachi. The sushi was very fresh and Ramen was amazing, soothing my taste buds.

To top it off, Sami, one of the owners, was such a delight. Upon learning that I had six hours wait for my flight after I settled my bill, she warmly offered to let me stay at the restaurant and serve me a welcoming tea and great conversation. I had a relaxing time watching people and time passed quickly with such a friendly atmosphere.

I have a choice to stop in New York or Atlanta for future flight connections. Needless to say that Sami and the food won me over and Logan will be my forever stop. I look forward to seeing Sami again!

Vegetarian options: The restaurant offers vegetarian options.“

“Ive been looking for decent teriyaki bowl places around Boston. Many places have sushi in addition to teriyaki bowls. This place just does teriyaki bowls at a decent price and pretty tasty. They have a limited menu, so you cannot get lost in the items. Had a beef and shrimp teriyaki bowl with some rice and was good. For the quality, price, and taste, I give it a 5/5. Highly recommend.“

“Egg roll-Ribs on the bone- Crab Rangoon- Peking Ravioli - chicken and broccoli- Delicious! The women at the front desk- A plus personality! I’ll be a customer

Today, another fabulous meal. A Plus,-Plus! Beef,
Mushroom Chow Yoke- House Fried Rice- Spare Ribs on the Bone- Crab Rangoon- and Egg Rolls.
The food is fresh and delicious. The mushrooms are fresh- Best Chinese Food in the area! Hands down.“

“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!“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“Food was delicious 🤤 and our waitress Tara was awesome!! First restaurant we went to at Salem and we were definitely impressed. The drinks were great as well.“

“I was impressed by the clean and neat environment. The place had a warm vibe, with comfy seating and a cozy layout. It felt like a great spot to relax and enjoy a good meal, whether you're with friends or on a special date.

I ordered some salmon sashimi. It was incredibly fresh and melted in my mouth. Each piece was beautifully presented.

The service was top-notch too. The server was super friendly and really knew the menu. They offered great recommendations and checked in on us just enough to make sure we were happy without being intrusive. It made the whole experience feel special.

All in all, this restuarant is a fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious sushi in a clean and inviting environment. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“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! 😋😋😋😃“

“only reason why i go to this place is because there food is very good but the female staff and the chef are very impatient and have a horrible attitude. the moment we walked in, they made us feel very uncomfortable by rushing us to place an order and w/ being rushed they messed up a order and felt the need to tell me they wont fix order but after threatening to jot pay they fixed my order an had an attitude with us paying. i will never dine in this establishment again and ive been here 3 times already & this is the first ive ever felt uncomfortable at this place, & there was a lil racism in there music, after a whole of is being there they changed there music to rap but yea i don’t recommend dining in“

“the downside is the delivery charges cost $7 so I can't order regularly too expensive“

“We had such a great time learning how to shuck oysters! Everyone was so friendly, nice and knowledgeable. Would definitely go back again and have already recommended to others!“

“Love them. Highly recommend the spicy eel coconut maki.“

“Everything we have had there has been TOP NOTCH. Dumplings (7 kinds and counting), noodles (5 kinds and counting), soups (3 kinds), and the scallion pancakes ( every time we go). We have been there on busy nights, slow nights and afternoons. We have eaten in and ordered takeaway. My daughter has ordered delivery. We keep co.ing back and ordering new things because all dishes have been quite extraordinary.
The ambiance is more family than upscale and always clean, well-lit, and inviting. The staff is friendly, timely, and very helpful.
We've been back at least 15x. It's on the permanent rotation!“

“Wonderful neighborhood business. Great sushi. Order perfect every time. Good value. Clean facility. Kind staff. Easy meal. Support your local small business.“
