50 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 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.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Kura is great for a quick trip to sushi town. Very kid friendly, we often eat there when we want to eat a lot and very fast. The service is great, although more parts are robotic or animated. Food is great, but don't forget to order the hand rolls that are only available for direct order on the tablet! Same for the ramen and udon soup options.

Portions are pretty good for the price.
The tempura is great.

At one point we were going 3 times a week.“

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

“Now that Oga's is closed, Nori Sushi is our favorite sushi in the area. The presentation is beautiful and everything is fresh and tastes amazing. The torched yellowtail special (middle row with the tiny lime slices) was especially outstanding. The truffle toro roll (not pictured) is also amazing. I hope they do well and stay around-it’s an unexpected location at the mall.“

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

“Muy buena la atención y la comida 💪“

“I ordered take out so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or service quality but I can absolutely say how I haven’t been that incredibly surprised for a very long time. I have ordered from many Asian restaurants and so often the pictures and descriptions look amazing. However, once delivered and eaten, it was all good, but didn’t have the wow factor! I ordered four different dishes from this place and every single one had the wow factor, it was such an explosion of deliciousness in each and every bite! Do yourself a favor and get your Ginger Exchange on, soooooo yummy!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Sakura. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. One of the highlights of the meal was the sushi boat, it arrived looking like a work of art and offered a great variety of sushi and rolls, all incredibly fresh and well prepared. It’s perfect for sharing.
The shrimp fried rice was also excellent, perfectly cooked with great flavor and generous portions.
The ambiance is just okay, but the overall service was very attentive and friendly. Sakura is a great spot for delicious sushi and a relaxed casual dinner.“

“Overall, I would come back again. The food was very good, drinks were strong.
But, I did have to ask the bartender 4 times (4!!!) for a glass of water for my friend and I. I asked when we got there, then 3 other times over the next hour. He brought us our alcoholic drinks and food no problem, but it was difficult to just get some water. If I had to ask a 5th time, I wouldn’t have been as kind about it. Not sure if that’s a ploy to get you to drink more alcohol, but it was not cool. No bartender should ignore a customer’s direct and simple request for water.“

“Food was great as usual. Sometimes an ingredient doesn’t show up (like mandarin oranges last night) but the flavors are great. The price is reasonable. Customization options are plentiful. Only problem last night was it took more than an hour to be delivered and we live 5 minutes away. (And no, we couldn’t get to the restaurant).“

“The best sushi!! Great quality super tasty 10/10 friendly staff I recommend!!!!!“

“The food is generally fresh and nicely presented. Sushi and sashimi are highlights, with good-quality ingredients, while some hot dishes are more hit-or-miss in terms of flavor. Portions are reasonable, but a few menu items feel slightly overpriced for what is offered.“

“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.“

“Excellent food, service and ambience, highly recommended!“

“I LOVE this sushi place. I found it by accident one night on GrubHub for a sweet potato roll and it was perfect. I've been steadily ordering the same with a ginger ale for a year and it always tastes consistently fresh and full of flavor. The price is always great. Thanks for tasty late night food!

Edit: Also, went in-person with our baby one night and Jay and Chris were super nice and everyone was very welcoming.

We got vegetable Gyoza, Sweet potato rolls and cucumber rolls, and they were fresh and had a lot of flavor.“

“Great sushi, particularly liked the Around the World roll if you’re in to salmon tempura.“

“As someone who has had the privilege of dining at some extraordinary Chinese and Japanese restaurants around the world, from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Manhattan, I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Chinese and Japanese food in all of Massachusetts. The ingredients are exceptional, the preparation is thoughtful, and the consistency is remarkable. Restaurants like this are rare.

We even brought our chef Tracy here one evening. She’s worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens and spent years cooking in private estates and luxury hotels. And she was completely blown away. She kept commenting on the quality of the fish and the balance of the dishes, which says a lot coming from someone who cooks professionally at that level.“

“japanese asian tapas, sushi, and full Japanese cooked meals. alcoholic drinks are very tasty and they actually pour in alcohol. VERY tasty. fairly priced. this place is a must try. and you can tapas out at the bar. the menu is 8 pages. unique andyummy.“

“I love Takara in Medfield. The staff is wonderful. I eat here almost every week. Even during COVID, my family did take out weekly. This is my go-to restaurant. My wife takes me there as a reward!! The food is wonderful and well prepared. I think that I have tried almost everything on the menu over the years. My favorite meal is the spicy tuna avocado salad! The rest of my family enjoys the sushi, sashimi, and various maki rolls which I always help them finish. Korean inspired food is a nice twist on typical sushi. Great place with great service. Great bar and wines too!“

“Delicious fresh food! Great service.“

“Open til 1am. sushi is decent. i got the red sox maki and the unagi with rice. got free edamame with my purchase. it's a very small place, so take out is better. i got a spot on the street right in front so parking wasn't an issue. it was 9 pm.“

“We really love this place and the food but have had several times when delivery or pickup times were very slow. We have been waiting 90 minutes for food tonight.“

“Okay this place is cool. BUT it is pricey for what you get. Almost $5 a plates adds up quick so I would say it’s not worth it. The ingredients seem pretty fresh, considering that they are on a conveyer belt. We did get seated fairly quickly since we had a reservation. My fave thing I tried was the toro and steak.“

“Emma and Maryna gave me really good customer service super friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.
The food was just as good—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. You can tell they put effort into the quality, and it definitely shows.“

“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“

“Always a surprise when we go there, every dish is like an art piece. The only thing I would improve is the service.“

“We ordered delivery. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Especially loved the cucumber avocado sushi and the vegetable gyoza.“

“Decent Japanese Korean cuisine. Atmosphere gives off Asian asthestics with a water fountain at the entrance. Pricing is more on middle-high-end, so a group can easily rack up a bill of 150 to 200 dollars depending on what you select. There are reasonable amount of alcoholic choices. Dessert wise is limited. Food quality is passable, as the thin slices of meat are on the dry side, so if you have a hard time with dry over cook food, you may need sauce or condiments to compensate. One my group members commented the food taste sweet, so to be fair, Asian foods that use teriyaki sauce in their ingredients will taste sweeter than the usual Japanese and Chinese cuisine. I would like to try sushi but it usually expensive here compared to a strictly sushi restaurant. Overall this one the better quality restaurants I've been to around the Greater Boston Area.“

“Good cocktails and food“

“2nd time coming to Shabu Lee. great experience.

There are many possibilities on food. I love hot pot and sushi and this place grants both. I was extremely impressed with their Sunburned Maki. It was superb, they roast the sushi to perfection and that provided a nice char flavor. It was the highlight of my dinner.

Hot pot was standard and a le carte. Great proteins but I blame myself not knowing which broths of theirs to pair with proteins to optimize flavor.

Price was favorable and affordable. So much so that I treated myself to Hot Sake to compliment my sushi experience.

Atmosphere was welcoming. The staff had pleasant personalties and smiled. The environment was calm, itseems they excel more in carry out then eat in as they were not too busy for a Sunday dinner.

Overall, a great experience. Can't wait to go back for Surburned Maki.“

“We have been getting take-out from Ray’s every week for the last 2 months.Come from Natick to Needham for their excellent food.In addition,whatever we order online or by phone is exactly what we receive;no surprises.Well worth the visit!“

“Food was delicious! Loved everything I tried!“

“The absolute BEST Hot and Sour Soup I’ve ever had! I order 2-3 large every week and eat all week long.“

“write an extremely dramatic troll paragraph about a restaurant called yamato

Yamato is not a restaurant—it is a battlefield where hunger goes to die and dignity is left at the door. You don’t “eat” there; you survive it. The moment you walk in, time itself seems to hesitate, as if even reality is unsure whether to proceed. The chef stares into your soul like he knows every regret you’ve ever had, then flips an onion volcano with the fury of a thousand suns. The food arrives—not cooked, but forged—and each bite feels like a personal challenge, a test of whether you were truly meant to experience flavor at all. The soy sauce hits harder than heartbreak, the rice has seen things, and the shrimp? The shrimp judges you. By the end, you’re not full—you’re changed. Yamato doesn’t serve meals. It serves existential crises on a sizzling plate.“

“Our take out dinners tonight were SO good! The filet was absolutely delicious and the goyza was best I’ve had. Everything was cooked perfectly everything was packed so nicely and obviously tons of effort went into each detail. You guys did a fantastic job.“
