50 Best Sushi Bars near Waltham

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

“We were visiting from out of state and picked this restaurant bc all the reviews mentioned the people working there were nice and the food was good.
They 100% live up to that. They were super kind and the food was great. They were attentive, the plates were nicely presented with decorative flowers and the atmosphere is relaxed.

At the end when we got our check we ate our fortune cookies and mine said I would receive a large sum of money. We went to the casino and won $500! So not only was the food yummy but they are also a good luck charm 😜“

“I had dinner with my wife at this amazing Japanese restaurant, with very well coming and professional staff.. I recommend it to anyone who cares of the quality of food, services in other hand the Atmosphere you will feel that you are in Japan...It was my wife great choice, many thanks for her....See you soon.....“

“This sushi restaurant has a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, with a great variety of choices. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!“

“fish amazing but also blown away by vegetable roll!“

“Only reason 4/5 for atmosphere is that they turned down the lights drastically at around 7 PM weekdays, it was too dark to see your meal properly.

However by then my meal was finished.
Ramen is delicious, I didnt ask for chili oil as broth was sufficient alone.

Ordered one sushi and it was one roll but loosely wrapped in seaweed.

Service is quick, I would be surprised if anything takes more than 10 mins.

If you with a group, get a table. Two or a pair can share side by side bar/top seating.“

“Matsunori is a comfort spot I keep going back to. Boston is definitely lacking in terms of handroll places, so the opening of this spot was a win, for sure. The fish quality is pretty good and each handroll is crafted with care (in terms of ingredients pairing). I personally really love the OG miso cod, Eel with foie gras, Mango salmon, and Spicy tuna. All the ingredients mesh perfectly together without overpowering the ⭐ of the show (the fish).

While they don’t offer reservations and are usually super busy (weekdays&weekends), today we got there around 7pm (on a weekday) and there was no wait, which was nice. Our server, Duc, was so attentive and helpful. Rolls came out super quick, as always. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

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

“We just celebrated our 11 anniversary tonight at XOXO Sushi Bar in Chestnut Hill. We came all the way from Natick and enjoyed the spicy tuna crispy rice, pork ribs, madai usuzukuri, shrimp tempura maki, street corn, eggplant and miso black cod were delicious!! Thank you for such an awesome evening!“

“Had my birthday here, and I have to say this has been one of the most unexpectedly unique dining experiences I’ve had. People have said a lot of nice things—how inventive, creative, fresh—about the food, but I’m moved by the stories behind each bite. The place is not your regular omakase. Each course contains a little bit of where the chef’s from, where he’s been and worked, and what he—most locals — grown up eating. If other omakase are trying to out do each other in exclusivity and luxury, then this place delivers sincerity, originality, and a taste of New England you can’t find in any other omakase place. You are guaranteed to walk away with a meaningful and beautiful memory. I hope more people go and give this place a try.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“My son and I stopped here for lunch. Their Bento box lunch specials are excellent - both in the quality of food and the value for what you get! It came with miso soup, a small fresh salad, fried tempura, 3 pieces of a sushi roll of your choice, sashimi pieces and the protein you pick on a bed of rice. I got the chicken katsu and added curry for $2 extra and my son got the shrimp. If we lived in town, we would eat here a lot! Highly recommend!“

“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. 🍣❤️“

“We made reservations online for the Omaska. It was $300 which broke down to $120 per person with tip and tax. The tables were perfectly space out. They gave us a 2 hour limit which was enough time for the 12 course Omaska. Presentation on everything was amazing. Each course was fresh and delicious in their own way. It was hard to hear the man over his mask so I couldn't get any names. We had uni, tuna belly, scallops, and more. All the Courses were small but packed with favor. You can take there was attention to detail in the ingredients and presentation. Definitely, worth the money was a special event like a birthday. Would definitely come back“

“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!!“

“excellent atmosphere, wonderful service and delicious food. the host was busy taking a to go order when i arrived so the chef looked up and greeted me (i work in food service and i know this never happens). when i sat she gave me complimentary miso soup, which i have never been a fan of but this time i really enjoyed it! the waitress was very friendly and hospitable, and i loved everything new i tried. cannot recommend this place enough!“

“We found this place by happenstance, but would definitely recommend if you’re in Dedham and looking for sushi and Asian cuisine. The pork gyoza, pan fried, was delicious. The spring rolls are nothing to write home about, but were tasty enough. The two sushi rolls we ordered (Daisy roll and Amazing Maki) were good and great. The house salad is definitely more umami than sweet (the ginger dressing was not like typical hibachi restaurants- it was more ginger and sesame-forward). The pad Thai was absolutely delicious, although it didn’t specify on the menu that it was made with shrimp and crab, so if you have a shellfish allergy, steer clear of it!“

“Being a white dude I got fried gyozas and shrimp tempura maki. Both were fantastic. I feel like a lot of gyozas taste the same but these had a great fry to them with a flavorful filling. Maki was really nicely sauced and the Shinto tempura beautifully fried.“

“This was our dinner after a late afternoon Red Sox game. We scored with this cozy, unassuming place with flavorful, delicious food. Nice ambience. Packed with East Asians, which was not surprising given how tasty and authentic the food was. Highly recommend! Close to the green line stop, so easy to get to & from downtown Boston. Easy 10 minute walk from Fenway Park.“

“I usually don’t leave google reviews but GOD this place is amazing. the food is PACKED with flavour, portions are great, prices very reasonable, and it might just be the best meal I’ve had in Boston.

I ordered the crispy chicken pad thai and the chicken is genuinely life changing and your taste buds will thank you. plus the actual pad thai was the perrrrrfect blend of sweet and sour.

beef noodles were also very flavourful and the beef was very tender.

atmosphere and service is also 5/5. I highly encourage supporting this restaurant!!!“

“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!“

“I’ve been meaning to make a review of this place but selfishly don’t want this best kept secret to get out… alas I won’t gate keep!!

In a city of (I’ll say it) overpriced and mediocre food, ono poke stands apart. It’s not easy to find… small and hidden down a set of stairs near porter with only a small sign to guide you. But what ono does well is consistiently incredible poke. I don’t know how but every time the avocados are ripe, the salmon or tuna so fresh and the rice, warm and buttery tasting like it was just made.

I’ve been to ono probably 30 times and I plan to go 30 more. I don’t even particularly love poke I just love THIS poke.

You can tell when owners put love and care into their food and that’s what I feel here. It’s no frills and it’s done well. I’m gluten free and they made sure to label things that have gluten as well. I feel normal here like it’s not an inconvenience. I ❤ ono poke forever“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“Great food and great service“

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

“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.“

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

“Genuinely don’t understand why this place is empty save for my family when we come in - The waiters are attentive, and the food and milk tea are both spectacular. They offer a lot more options than most sushi restaurants as well! Seems like a really lovely family business and I would definitely recommend.“

“Great food and great service“

“When I saw the reviews for Wasabi at Porter I assumed they hired bots...
They did NOT hire bots.
They are THAT good!!!!!!!!

The food was amazing, and the tiny metal tray (for soy/wasabi) was a nice touch! This place deserves their 5-stars! New Customer = Regular Customer Now!“

“This place was great for 99$ per person it really is a steal for 14 courses that were actually good. The flavors were solid and there were some unique dishes that he made his own. The service was attentive and we had a great time for my mom’s birthday.“

“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 have to admit, this might just be some of the best sashimi I’ve had in Boston! The fish is incredibly fresh, and every piece is prepared with care. The little touch of lemon underneath the white fish is such a thoughtful detail that really makes a difference.

The Agedashi Tofu is also excellent, and the Nabeyaki is absolutely worth trying!

Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. The staff took great care of us from the moment we called to make our plans to the moment we arrived at the restaurant. You can really feel the thoughtfulness and care that go into the entire dining experience.

Honestly, this place deserves so much more recognition. It’s an underrated Japanese restaurant and a true hidden gem in Boston/Newton area.

IT IS AUTHENTIC! 🇯🇵“

“AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE!! The Mongolian Beef is incredible!!!!“

“genki ya is one of my favorite sushi spots!! the food is always super fresh, the rolls are perfectly made, and the portions are really generous for the price. the staff is always so kind and fast too, it just feels like they actually care about the customers. everything tastes clean and consistent every time i go. if you love sushi, you’ll love genki ya:)“

“I love their food jun our server she is great“

“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.“

“We always get your maki combo which is a great mix of flavors and appreciate your flexibility with my soy intolerance! Delivery was also really prompt and low price for the neighborhood.

Dietary restrictions: Were great with substitutions for a soy intolerance.“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

“best sushi place that you should try!“

“I ordered pick up from Ginger Exchange on a Friday night. The service was really great and friendly and the prices were fair. Also the menu selection is wide ranging so there will be something for everyone. This is also conveniently located on a stretch of highland where there are not many other restaurants, which is great. In terms of the food itself, would love to see a bit more depth of flavor in some of the dishes like the bibimbap and noodles!“

“Great sushi Great service“

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

“Went here on a Monday night when most other places were closed.

We got the thai pancakes and the thai garden salad for appetisers. Super pleased with them.

For entrees we got the tofu pad thai and chicken ginger make your own thing. Pad thai was great. Chicken was a little boring but cant complain because i ate everything and almost licked the plate (can we normalise that please).

Also! The host, Dit, was great, thank you for being so awesome“

“Ordered the Wonton Soup and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place.“
