18 Best Sushi Bars near Wellesley

“best sushi place that you should try!“

“I had an outstanding experience at Yama in Wellesley. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was incredible — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency.

The atmosphere was just as impressive — clean, comfortable, and perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out.

Thank you to the entire team for such a great dining experience. We will absolutely be back!“

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,“

“Best sushi and great service.“

“I’m here with my mom we from Puerto Rico; we came almost 5 years or more and I’m here celebrating my birthday great food and great place. I’m definitely coming back.“

“The food was outstanding ,passion fruit margarita was as good as the food we ordered. The inside was very cozy and clean, our waiter was very polite , quick to attend and very professional. Great place to enjoy with friends and family , definitely coming back soon!“

“We sat at the bar and were assisted throughout the evening by Zenish who was a great tour guide for our evening. Every recommendation he made was spot on. We eat sushi regularly but it is still in a lot of ways new to us, having help on what to choose and the order in which to choose it was just amazing.

The food was spectacular in every respect. This will be a regular spot for us.“

“This is a true gem. This is our first time but will not be the last. The sushi is made to perfection. We had sushi, super fresh, udon with beef and chicken katzu. Dessert was fried ice cream!!! The place is small so reservations are recommended.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“The food is OK-not bad, not great. The miso ramen broth is a little watery and salty at the same time (this ain’t the traditional long simmering bone broth based ramen soup) and the sliced pork (tonkatsu) was a bit tough. The lunch specials are a good price but the taste will make you wonder if it actually is. Tempura isnt the traditional Japanese batter, it’s got the premade thick layer you get from frozen pieces at the supermarket. Sushi rolls are as good as any other neighborhood sushi place. If you’re satisfied with general Asian food this is a decent spot to grab a casual meal, esp lunch. If you’re a discerning diner who can differentiate between real Japanese cuisine vs other styles, you’ll come away a little deflated. The service was great, servers were very nice. The music was really loud and started to grate on me after awhile as it repeated.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We went here on a weekday for lunch. I got a 3 roll Maki lunch special (spicy tuna, Fin's roll, and Alaska roll), and my partner got the sashimi lunch. The fish was fresh, and the presentation was nicely done. We go to this restaurant at least once a month and have never had a bad experience. The food is good, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant is a pleasant environment.“

“Sushi Man is easily my family’s favorite restaurant. Whenever my kids come home, this is always at the top of their list.

The fish is consistently fresh, and even the simplest cuts of sashimi are incredibly flavorful, a true testament to quality. There’s something special about a place where a plain piece of raw fish can taste this good.

It’s a cozy, intimate spot with about eight tables and some bar seating, giving it that classic mom-and-pop feel. The husband and wife owners are always warm and welcoming, and they somehow manage to find a way to accommodate you, even when it’s busy.

A true neighborhood gem that we keep coming back to again and again.“

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

“The place is small so I recommend making a reservation in advance. The food was very good and the experience was a lot of fun. However, everything is a bit expensive and it adds up quick. Lots of fun for a special occasion but not for everyday lunch. When I needed assistance, the staff did not respond to the help button that we pressed and waited 15 minutes. Eventually we gave up and moved on. Overall very fun experience.“

“Great sushi, good portions. Fresh fish. Family atmosphere and good service.“
