“Overall loved the sushi, the wait staff, and the experience. It was a little darker than what I would have wanting in terms of lighting. But other than that would book again for sure. The sushi was so good. And our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable.“
“WOWOW a must go in Boston. This place does not disappoint. Literally everything was delicious. All the appetizers were fried to perfection with a light tasting batter. The curry beef udon was SO GOOD. Savory and delicious. The curry taste was perfect, not overbearing. The udon was cooked well, not too soft nor hard. The kanten dessert was a nice and light dessert. Not too sweet. The decor inside is adorable. The flowers and banners really make a difference. It was a lil spot that made me feel like I was jumping into Japan. Service was fast. We didn't have to wait too long for our group of 6. Very accommodating. If you make a reservation, make sure to be on time. They are strict which is understandable because it's a small space. Super great! If you are in Boston, you gotta try this place!!“
“The truffle Mac and cheese and No 9 Truffle salt ramen were delicious! I ordered these online to be delivered to my hotel room and it came right to my door and in sustainable mostly paper packaging (no styrofoam!). Would eat here again!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Vegan“
“O Ya was a place I've been trying to get to for 3-4 years. On an episode of the youtube series Hot Ones where celebs eat progressively hotter wings Salma Hayek proclaimed O Ya as her favorite restaurant. When I heard it was a restaurant in Boston I knew I had to try it. Each piece was creatively constructed and layered with complimentary flavors. Pictured here is the entire 20 course omakase plus 1 extra (the umi toast). If you look at the image of the menu and zoom in there are additional items you can add to your courses. I asked the waiter if I went with just one what does he suggest and he said the umi toast and I'm happy he did. The umi toast was a crispy tangent that I really appreciated. There is a steep price tag to eat here, but you will be here for 2-2.5 hours so I think of it more like an edible art show. I had an amazing time here and I hope you do as well.Vegetarian options: My wife got the vegetarian omakase of 20 pieces and if I get back here sometime I want to try it. They put just as much effort into the vegetarian menu as they do the regular one. My wife was also really impressed with 99% of the vegetarian menu. The crushed ice shisho leaf was the one piece that wasn't her style, but I tasted it from her dish and thought it was delicious.“
“My local friends kept recommending this restaurant, so I’m glad I finally had the chance to try it out. Great service, great food, and cute vibes. I have no complaints, and I would recommend it. The dishes (in pictures) was so fulfilling, and the shrimp was soooo buttery!“
“Came in from out of town and Fiji did not disappoint. I got the A5 Waygu. It comes for you to cook on a hot stone yourself. Absolutely melts in your mouth. Server was Japanese as well. Good vibe in there. $82 plate but worth it if you want something small but delicious.“
“The sushi at this place is a true masterpiece. The food is amazing and crafted with freshest ingredients. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special night out. Easily a five-star experience and highly recommended sushi place!“
“Pretty good food! Parking is a little difficult because the restaurant doesn’t have its own lot. Plenty of seating and we were the only people dining in at dinner time on a Monday. Not the best thai food I’ve ever had but certainly wasn’t disappointed.“
“First of all, I can't believe we waited so long to go back to this place, since we live less than half a mile away. This is such a unique place in Chinatown, with very creative (and well made) cocktails and a menu for just about anyone's palate. After seeing a segment on TV, I really wanted to try the burger and it might be one of the top 5 burgers I've ever had (and I have had thousands). The Bao bun is just so good, as was the sauce and the pickles. Top it off with a side of duck fat fries and you have the perfect burger. We were there on a Monday night around 6:45 and the place was packed. The bar too. No pictures but I wish I had. Will definitely be back to try more of the menus.“
“If you're seeking an authentic sushi experience in South Boston, Sushi Moka is unparalleled. Beyond its fresh offerings, what sets it apart is the personal touch. Every visit feels like a reunion; the staff not only remembers your face but also your favorite dishes. This level of recognition and attention to detail makes dining here truly memorable and authentic.“
“For a suburban area to serve decent Japanese food is rare. They do a lot of take out orders and they get busy on the weekends. They have good tasting sashimi, sushi, and hand rolls. I would avoid the rice bowls such as chicken or beef. Rolls were fresh and the waitress was friendly and honest. Parking can be located on the street or in the back for complimentary parking.“
“A lot of the shops in this spot have a hole-in-the-wall vibe. Avana Sushi used to be a go-to spot for me because the sushi was decent for the price. Dining in can be uncomfortable, as there are only a few stools around a small stall, so I prefer take-out. However, you can contribute a drawing to the iconic paper plate wall if you sit down. You can’t go wrong with a spicy salmon/tuna maki roll, but I like the special rolls more, specifically the Spicy Red Sox Maki or Spicy Mountain Roll. Grab dessert from the egg puff lady to the right.“
“Great place! Very clean & the staff is very friendly! The sushi is absolutely delicious! I got the beef bento box... Is was delicious & a great deal.. large portion! I also got the volcano roll! It was delicious! I will definitely be going back! Very humble people! Please give them a try!“
“The first time I tried Taiyaki NYC was in NY, of course, but the quality for the Boston location is the same. Very picturesque desserts that will satisfy a sweet craving. I got the unicorn and matcha sesame, which were both tasty. They taste especially good when the taiyaki cone is fresh and warm, but be sure to eat it quick in the summer if you want to avoid a sticky mess!“
“This is one of our top favorite restaurants in the Boston area. Since we discovered it a couple of years ago we have been dining here wirth family and/or friends at least 10 times, and we'll keep coming. Quality and service is consistently superb. The manager is very kind and personable, and our favorite waiter (Adam) is just great. Some highlight items we highly recommend: XO Toro tuna, A5 wagyu, softshell crab tempura, yellowtail and king salmon sashimi, and the unique Japanese uni/quail egg 'shots'.“
“We loved the sushi! Our favorites were the monster maki, mexican maki, shrimp tempura mango maki and the sexy girl maki. The crab rangoons and scallion pancakes were also very good. We had a bit of a wait to get seated but thought it was worth it.“
“My sister and I are both vegan and we’re extremely happy with not only the quality and taste of the food, but also our wonderful server. She was very thoughtful making sure our food was vegan and explaining the portion sizes to us. We left stuffed full of yummy food and a smile on our faces. A must eat!Dietary restrictions: Vegan options“
“This is the best hot pot restaurant around. The wait staff is so incredible, kind, and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious and it feels very cozy inside. I've eaten here multiple times and will recommend it over and over. The scallion pancakes, spring rolls, chicken nuggets, and fried ice cream are my favorite things to order here. 10/10 would recommend going here“
“5 stars all the way for this hidden gem! The sushi here is not just food, it's art. Every roll is a masterpiece, bursting with fresh ingredients and unique flavors. But what really sets this place apart is the hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. If you're craving amazing sushi and a memorable dining experience, look no further. This place is a true gem!“
“Very traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine served in a classic traditional setting. Most importantly the raw fish was extremely fresh and authentically sourced and prepared. They’d a raw octopus appetizer which was delicate and delicious, the sweet shrimp was super sweet, and the baby yellowtail was like butter. The uni from Maine was more like sweet Japanese uni and better tasting than San Diego uni. The hamachi kama was a treat and huge. This is as good as best sushi in Tokyo and very fresh and authentic, yet unbeatable prices especially for Boston.“
“Absolutely amazing, we went for lunch and we're promptly seated, served, and taken care of. We got the katsu ramen and the teriyaki ramen and both were delicious broth, incredibly flavorful meat, and nice thick noodles. One hundred percent “
“From the moment you walk into Fuji at WOC in Quincy, you know you're in for a treat. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance—elegant yet inviting, making it ideal for everything from a casual dinner to a special occasion. The staff greets you with a warmth and professionalism that sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience.The menu is a vibrant showcase of Asian cuisine, with a spotlight on exquisite Japanese dishes. It's clear that Fuji at WOC prides itself on the quality and freshness of their ingredients, and this is reflected in every bite. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or exploring Japanese cuisine for the first time, there's something here that will delight your palate.“
“Hold onto your taste buds, folks, because Omoto Garden isn’t just serving food; they’re dishing out an express ticket to a flavor fiesta! I ordered takeout, and let me tell you, it was like unboxing a treasure chest filled with culinary gems.First off, their sushi rolls - they must have a wizard in the kitchen because these rolls were magically delicious. Each piece was a perfect balance of rice, fish, and a secret ‘yum’ factor. And the presentation? Even in a takeout box, it looked like a masterpiece.The teriyaki chicken must have been marinated by angels. It was so tender and flavorful that I’m pretty sure my taste buds started a conga line. And the sauce - oh, the sauce! It deserves its own fan club.Don’t even get me started on the tempura. It was so crispy and light; I half expected it to float off my plate. It’s like they found a way to deep fry happiness.And the speed of delivery? I think their delivery person is part superhero, part ninja. The food arrived so fast and hot, I wondered if they teleported it to my doorstep.In conclusion, Omoto Garden’s takeout is a symphony of flavors that turns your living room into a five-star dining experience. If deliciousness was a sport, they’d be the reigning champions!“
“Absolutely my favorite place around here for chicken teriyaki or sushi! Really hits the spot for fresh salmon sashimi and chicken teriyaki sauce is delicious. The bubble tea is great here too. Very fresh and everything tastes great every time I come! Only suggestion is to add more tables inside so people can sit and eat!“
“I love Thai food, never cared for Chinese style food until now. My Mom took me here for my birthday. She ordered a bunch of different things we shared. I am in love with the house fried rice, the garlic broccoli dish, shrimp and mushrooms, beer battered green beans everything was amazing and fresh. I never had this fresh of food at any restaurant ever! The only complaint I can think of is they don't have salt on the table, you have to ask, but honestly the food is so good, you won't need it! If you love fresh food, like they got it right out of the garden that morning: GO! SIMPLY AMAZING! Also the place is extremely clean!Vegetarian options: If you ask for anything specific, they will do it!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating !“
“I got a misconception about this little place and until I entered and got a warm welcome. I was asking to add extra chairs as I had a group of friends coming and the service was amazing. The server didn’t complain and started pulling chairs to a corner table to make more spaces. The food was also fresh and delicious.“
“Great selection of veggie rolls and appetizers for vegetarians. I got the Veggie Combo Deluxe, which included a mix of veggie rolls such sweet potato, asparagus, cucumber, avocado, and sweet tofu. The miso soup was also delicious. Can't wait to visit here again. The food was fresh and tasty. Service was great as well. There is a single person public restroom in the back.Vegetarian options: several vegetable maki rolls and would recommend the veggie deluxe for large assortment.“
“Visited on NYE before the foreworks and this place provided a great opportunity to rest before the main event. However, what surprised me was how good the Shrimp noodle tasted, probably the best I ever had and I had to order again, forcing my friends to order round two too ?. Definitely recommend the shrimps.“
“We had our anniversary dinner here as it was one of our first date spot dinner places as the restaurant opened in 2019. The experience and food did not disappoint.We had the signature omasake, with some cocktails. Each plate was prepared with care and attention and we loved every single bite.Thank you all for the service!“
“It was my first time ordering here and I’m so glad I tried this place!! Everything was incredible. The service was fast and friendly. The prices are good and the food is delicious! I got the shrimp egg foo yung, veggie lo mein, an egg roll and the monkey brain. I got take out and my food was still hot and fresh when I got home. I will definitely be back and recommending to others!“
“Food: The crab rangoon is a must! Some of the best I’ve ever had. The lobster tempura roll and the spicy Red Sox roll were outstanding. The edamame was also good.Atmosphere: A cozy, colorful interior with enjoyable music, offering single seating along a long, bar-like table, and also booth seating. There’s also a fun table built into the front window nook to accommodate a larger group.Service: Super quick and friendly service. Our order was taken promptly, and the appetizers were also delivered quickly, hot and fresh.“
“The most amazing ramen I have ever had! I loved it so much the broth was so rich bold and delicious. I went with family and we all loved our food. My mom lit up the moment she ate it. We had an amazing time. The waiters were very attentive and funny too. Had a delightful time.“
“It’s located in South Shore’s Food Court so the atmosphere is pretty much always going to be a three… ??? But the food is worth it!!! I had a Red Sox Salmon Roll which was 10 pcs of crispy salmon & crab meat with a mild spicy sauce… I’ll be back for more on my next visitVegetarian options: They have 5 different Vegetarian Plates.Parking: Plenty of mall parking depending on what time of year you go.Kid-friendliness: Located in the Mall Food Court that has a play area.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of WC accessibility due to being within the mall.“
“Recommend their Korean fish cake soup and barley tea and the rice punch. The purple potato fries are also good. It's nice that they open late and you can order Uber eats from this place for late night snacks. The soup complements the food. And their food always seem to be freshly made and prepped carefully. Although there were times they miss parts of the order from time to time, you can see they do pay close attention to details for food preparation. Not sure why they got a bad review from someone saying the price is steep. Compared to other places, the price is okay. They also have deals on Uber eats pretty often and they are more like tapas style snacks, which I think is at the right price and nice when you get combos to try variety of food. I think it would be nice to have an option for rice punch with pulp. Not sure why but maybe they got complaints about the rice pulp in the rice punch by some people who don't understand that it's supposed to have rice in it and can't appreciate the drink as it's supposed to be. But it doesn't feel whole without bits of rice pulp.“
“This is a staple must go restaurant for my sisters and I everytime we visit Boston. (We're from NYC) Their sushi quality is super fresh and their Baked Alaska Tuna Maki is absolutely amazing -- super buttery melt in your mouth quality. I always order that one, witht the Butterfly Maki and one new to try everytime (This year I tried the Prudential which was excellent). We've been here once every year for the past 8 years and the quality is still the same as we remember it each time. Staff is friendly and welcoming. They've had structural interior renovations within the past 8 years and the atmosphere is very homey. I crave for their sushi when I'm back at home in NY -- I haven't found this quality at this price. I highly recommend!“
“Quan's is always one of my favorite places to go for dinner! They have the best sushi. Everything is so fresh and beautifully prepared! Even the wasabi is fresh. The food has never failed to please! Moving on to the service. Again, we've always enjoyed the best servers here. Our most recent server literally could recite any menu item simply by us giving him the number. It was a pretty impressive skill! He also had a great sense of humor while maintaining a smooth, reserved, and dignified manner. The atmosphere speaks for itself as soon as you step into the restaurant. It's very pretty and elegant.Parking: Always ample parkingKid-friendliness: It's a very family friendly placeWheelchair accessibility: It's all one level and laid out nice and wide. It can easily accommodate wheelchairs.“
“I had a two-protein (tuna and salmon) poke bowl with brown rice base. It was very good and service was very fast. There were a lot of additional topping options and there’s a very small seating area if you want to dine in. I highly recommend the place for a good value and quick dinning option.Vegetarian options: Just build a custom bowl and choose the vegetarian toppings you want!“
“This ramen house is just across the commons park. We came in the middle of afternoon where there is no customer but us. Their menu is online and you can order and also pay online. It’s easy and quick. The service is quick and good taste good. If you are looking for a good noodle soup you can try this place. I love my tonkatsu ramen. You can make it spicy or just ordinary.“
“Sakura Sunakku in Chinatown Boston made a delicious crepe. I love the fruit crepe with pocky!! The crepe was freshly made with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, chocolate pocky, and bit more. I just love every bite. It's sweet treat!Kid-friendliness: Dessert is really kid friendly here especially ice cream and crepes.“
“I was scared by the amount of food that came in option S5, nodules with beef and chicken. I was very well attended to by the restaurant owner who helped me choose the option on the menu. The place is well organized and my order was ready in 10 minutes. Without a doubt it is one of the best Chinese food I have ever found, for the value for money, I will come back again.“
