“Last night, we ordered pad see ew with pork, pad see ew with beef, and the pork gyoza (fried). The food was delicious, though both thai noodle dishes were definitely filled with way too many vegetables and hardly any noodles. There was a sufficient amount of pork and beef in each dish, but my payment experience further angers me that the dish was full of not "the good stuff". I was going to order delivery, decided it was too expensive, and then noticed on DoorDash that if I picked up the food, I would save about $10. I am also aware that if you call MOST restaurants directly and order on the phone, it will cost even less, because there's no third party involved. I looked at the website for this restaurant; they use ChowNow for their online ordering, and on DoorDash, for example, the pad see ew was $11.95 with a $2 upcharge for beef and pork, making each dish $13.95. On ChowNow, the same dishes are sold for $13.95 with an additional upcharge for the same proteins, making each dish $15.95. I decided to not place my order online through either servie and called the restaurant directly. They placed my pickup order on ChowNow themselves, and it charged me the ChowNow prices. This has never ever been my experience anywhere else. To make matters worse, their paper menu for dine-in lists pork pad see ew for $9.95 and their beef pad see ew for $10.95. I tried to cut out the third party and was slapped with higher fees. I'm also a person who has leftovers from almost every meal- but not this one. Quite small portion sizes, which would be fine if I did not pay $16 for a $10 dish. I will be going back, but only for dine-in. I've literally heard an employee at another locally owned business ask a customer who was picking up food just to call directly because it saves both parties extra fees. Shocking!“
“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.“
“Fun restaurants on the border between Chinatown and downtown with a huge variety of hotpot offerings, different broths and other menu items for those that don’t want to engage in the messy fun. The service is great and super helpful especially for first timers. While the broths are great, overall the food is okay and will not blow your mind. The menu is a bit chaotic and it can be challenging to pick the right amounts and types of meat to use for the hotpot. I would probably try out different , smaller places going forward“
“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“
“Do not be alarmed by the fact that one must walk through another noisy and Hawaiian-themed restaurant to get to this sushi restaurant. Once the food is served, you will immediately forget the weird entrance. Every piece is creative and superbly seasoned. Perfection from beginning to end!!! The Japanese rice is just the right softness. The fish is cut to the right size and thickness. This is definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in Boston! What a pleasant surprise!!! Highly recommend!!!!!Minor note to chefs - if you could play some nice jazz music, it would make the meal even more pleasant and authentic. Right now the pop music does not go with the high quality sushis.“
“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.“
“I highly recommend the salmon dumpling, the first bite was really amazed. There were only 3 dumplings, and, my friend and I were two people. But the waiter was kind enough to give one more, just so we could share it evenly. The sea urchin soba noodles and oysters were really great as appetizers.“
“Last weekend, my partner and I decided to explore the much-raved-about Fuji at Ink Block in Boston's vibrant South End. Let me just say, the experience was nothing short of spectacular, surpassing our expectations in every possible way.We started with the Edamame Truffle Dumplings, which were absolutely divine, offering a burst of flavors that left us eagerly anticipating what was to come. For our main course, we opted for the Chef's Selection Sushi and the Black Cod Miso. Each sushi piece was a work of art, fresh and full of flavor, demonstrating the chef's skill and attention to detail. The Black Cod Miso was simply sublime, with the fish perfectly cooked, flaky, and infused with a delicate balance of sweetness and umami.“
“Deluxe Sashimi Platter ⭐️ It was great! It's really fresh and there are a lot of varieties, except for the sea urchin, which is a bit fishy Octopus Carpaccio ⭐️ The seasoning is very refreshing and the octopus is very chewy, I love it Torched Japanese Scallop ⭐️ It was very light, I couldn't really taste the seasoning, but it was very tender Unagi Don ⭐️ A friend ordered this. Gyu Don + Onsen Egg ⭐️ The beef is very juicy and the onsen egg is very flavorful“
“I recommend everything about Shore Leave. We came here on Tuesday during a work trip and had the best night of the whole trip. Food was great, drinks were great, and the staff was amazing. The atmosphere was so fun (there’s a disco ball!) and very welcoming of all customers. We ended up staying out til midnight singing karaoke and for many of our group that was their first time ever singing karaoke in our group. 10/10, 5 stars.“
“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'.“
“The food was excellent so I'd give 5 stars just for that but they went above and beyond to cater to our kids food allergies, which is always difficult when you are traveling and have to eat out.The lady then took time to speak with our boys, ask them they're name and wrote it out in Thai on a piece of paper for them to take home as well as teach them how to pronounce it. Our boys were super happy.I would 100% return.Dietary restrictions: Allergies“
“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.“
“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.“
“I love and adore this place. Yes, it's very much a hole in the wall, and yes it really doesn't have much seating. You'll probably have a better experience here if you order for takeout as most people do.But the sushi here is legit. And the prices really cannot be beat. I'm forever a loyal customer if they keep these prices.“
“Great place! Had a meeting at Milk Street Cafe and had no idea it was a Kosher restaurant, and was pleasantly surprised. They have multiple kitchens so you can have both meat or dairy. The salads and soups are great. Great option for easy lunch in this neighborhood.“
“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.“
“We are at FlBat baby on a recent Saturday night The sushi was excellent as was the service . We had the dragon roll, tuna rice cakes and the shrimp noodles The 8 piece dragon roll was very good, with just right crunch for the tempura shrimp. My favorite was the tuna rice cakes. These bite sized pieces had a layer of tuna that melted in your mouth, along with the perfect tasting cakes which were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The only disappointment was the shrimp noodle dish. Although tasty, this shrimp in this dish were a bit tough. The noise level was too much for us but I would return on a different day.“
“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.“

“Pleasantly surprised! We came here on a Saturday for lunch and ordered plenty of dishes which we all enjoyed. We tried the string beans, spicy fish filets, Shanghai noodles, fried rice and smoked duck. The Shanghai noodles were more of a crispy chow mein than the thicker noodle I was expecting, but it was still yummy! Service was nice and attentive as well. Unassuming on the outside, but great taste and big portions.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“I've tried their other ramen options and so far my favorite has to be the Tantan Ramen. Especially the little sliced meat and subtle spice. Definitely better experience to dine.Parking: There's a good amount of parking spaces in this area“
“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!“
“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 “
“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 !“
“Just had a fantastic dinner at Ruka.. our first visit! Our server, Mike, was outstanding! Funny & made excellent recommendations! We (2 people) shared the crispy rock shrimp sushi, tuna poke, lomi lomi sushi, seared bok choy, and wagyu steak. For dessert we had the fried dough! Holy cow, everything was amazing!!! I look forward to coming to Ruka again!“
“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!“
“Standard Japanese restaurant for you to stop by. The vibe was not very "Japanese", but could get away in the Asian theme in general. They offer variety of dishes that you would find from a Japanese restaurant, curry, noodles, katsu, sushi, sashimi, nigiri etc.The sushi/sashimi plate I ordered was ok. Some of the served fish were in room temperature leaning toward the warmer side, which is a bit unsatisfied, however, their textures and freshness were good, no bad smell or squishy texture.Rice was reasonably seasoned to what you expected.The price was a bit high in my opinion (~$35 net per plate), but not too high that you cant bring friends over.The restroom was clean.The waiter/waitress were very active. Small note: they took my plate and cheque my table right away when I put down my chopsticks, even though no line or anything (I was the only customer at the time) I was genuinely going to get a dessert, but maybe for another time :)“
“If you're searching for that perfect café vibe in Quincy, B Cafe is the spot where your search blissfully ends. Tucked away from the bustling streets, this gem of a café offers not just coffee, but an experience that feels like a warm hug on a rainy day.“
“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.“
“Took my son who goes to umass boston yesterday. I was worried it would be crazy on Valentines day, but lunch was perfect! I loved that you could order sushi not on the belt for the same price. We got potstickers too & I will never be the same after, lol. At 3.75 a plate, we weren't afraid to try new things!“
“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.“
“Absolutely delicious sushi. Super well put together. I did order from a delivery service, and they did a decent job with a timely delivery. But the quality of the sushi I received was top notch. The spicy salmon roll was just the right amount of spice and not drowning in sauce. The nigiri was meaty and super soft. I will actually go to this restaurant next time I’m in the city… instead of delivery. A+ on food quality!!!“
“Me and my mom were looking for a new hotpot to try out. This place had a really good portion of food. The service was really nice, they even offer to give us some advice about how to cook the meat as it was prep differently. But if I'm being honest it just straight up taste like beef slices for pho. But it definitely tasted smoother than regular beef pho slices. They only pay with cash if that's an issue for anyone. We was just taken aback cause they didn't have a sign on the front door but at the inside entrance when you leave. So we had no idea until we had to paid. Other then that, the food is good and service is great! I'll come try out the sushi next time and let y'all know if it's worth it.“
“The kitchen is large, the staff is friendly, and the sushi is delicious.There are about 6 tables, but there are a lot of people going to go, and the turnover is quick, so you can eat fresh food.I ordered the Chef special and the lunch box, both were delicious and the eel in the lunch box was really delicious.I will definitely come back next time I come to Boston.“
“Ever since I got unadon (eel on rice) from a Japanese fast food joint at Narita Airport, I've been chasing the legendary eel-induced high from that day. I'm not looking for much, just a solid eel bowl that reminds me of the cheapest food money can buy you in Japan. It makes me sad that Boston's Japanese restaurants have been bested on the eel front by a Yoshinoya bowl that cost me like $3. But no longer!Sushi Time has an unadon that tastes just like how I remember it from Japan, if not a tiny bit less hot (I'm okay if my tongue is not burned to an authentic Japanese standard). They go heavy with the teriyaki sauce, and it soaks into the rice just right. The eel pieces aren't as big as Yoshinoya (they're sushi-sized), but they taste great and I haven't found a restaurant in Boston which serves large eel pieces, so I won't complain.Now that I am done professing my love for eel... the rest of the restaurant. It's take-out only, and they finish orders pretty quickly. The menu is big, so sometimes ordering can be a bit confusing, but the cashiers are very friendly. Warm dishes are still warm when they come out, which is a big win for Sushi Time. The food is way better than I expected for a food court, and the prices are fantastic. They close at 5pm though, which is an absolute shame!For the price point, large menu, convenience, and excellent food quality (I have had worse sushi at twice the cost), I give 5 stars. It's not gourmet by any means, but Sushi Time will not let you down. Godspeed, Sushi Time.“
“A Boston restaurant with a delicious selection of sushi and desserts. The varied menu, including both entrees and desserts, provides a wonderful dining experience. The outdoor seating was pleasant, and every dish we tried was delicious. The food was fresh, well-made, and perfect for photos. Overall, LoLa 42 provides great food, great service, and a great time.Full Review:My experience at LoLa 42 in Boston was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the stage for a fantastic dining experience. We opted for outdoor seating, which offered a lovely view and added to the overall atmosphere.The menu at LoLa 42 is quite diverse, offering a range of options from sushi to desserts. We started with a selection of sushi rolls, and each one was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and we found ourselves ordering more after finishing our initial selection.In addition to the sushi, we also tried some of the desserts, which were equally impressive. The variety of options made it difficult to choose, but we finally settled on a few items, and they did not disappoint. Each dessert was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked.The service at LoLa 42 was top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.

“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.“
“We came here for garden Patio Opening. The staff was friendly and helpful. We got the Lychee Sangria and ginger Lemonade. They both were favor and refreshing. We ordered the Cheesesteak Dumpling, KBBQ Quesadilla, and KBBQ Galbi. Love the fusion of favors . The Quesadilla was tasty twist to a classical item. The Dumplings were pack with favor in a bite size piece. My favorite has to be the Galbi it was smokey, tender and juicy. Definitely will be back“
“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.“
“Some of the best sushi we’ve ever had in our lives, and top of that it’s great value! The service was super fast, and the view of the top floor is quite nice. The alligator roll and the spicy king crab roll were the absolute best! Will certainly go again!“
“The menu at Fuji at HSP is a testament to the art of Asian cuisine, offering a wide range of options from sushi rolls to heartier entrees. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and it was clear that a great deal of care and expertise went into the preparation of each dish.A highlight of my meal was the sushi selection. Each piece was a work of art, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were balanced to perfection. The Dragon Roll and the Toro Nigiri were particularly memorable for their melt-in-your-mouth texture and depth of flavor.“
“I stopped by on a Wednesday night intending to dine in but they were only taking carry out, which was unfortunate and disappointing considering I had to watch people dine-in as I was waiting for my order. I ordered a salmon roll, a yellowtail roll, and a few pieces of nigiri with a miso soup. I had to eat my food on the steps of a closed business down the street because I had flown into Boston from out of town and there was no place for me to take my food to eat. The food was delicious and fresh. The sushi rice was sooo good. I would definitely become a regular if I lived nearby.“
“been coming here for years, and the food is good! my only complaint is the older lady with the short hair at the front is very rude. the least she could do is greet customers and hand them their food, rather than ignoring them until they ask for their food and shoving it at them.everyone else at the restaurant is hospitable, but that woman is seriously lacking customer service skills and they should probably just keep her in the back.“
“We first went on a Tuesday night and it was excellent. We came back on a Saturday with more family and it was so loud it was uncomfortable and we didn't stay as long. We won't come back on a weekend, but during the week, it is excellent.All of the food was great.Vegetarian options: I'm pescetarian, so it's easier to find things than true vegetarians, but there are plenty of veggie items as well.Parking: They were filming across the street, so some of the parking spaces were taken, but we parked a couple blocks away on the street. Paid parking until 8 pm and then free after that.Kid-friendliness: Our kids love sushi and fit right in.“
“This is a hidden gem. They have authentic Szechuan dishes. The dumplings are homemade. You can taste the Quality in it. The fish in Mandarin sauce was amazing. The tuna taco was fresh and crispy. The gray short rib was so tender and favorful. The winter rose was scrumptious. The Dan Dan noodles was so soft and spicy. The fried rice was good. The rice roll in brown sugar was sweet and soft. It's pricey, but worth every penny. Staff was so helpful and nice. Definitely will be back“
