50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Woburn

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

“I truly loved this place, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, helpful with suggestions on making food choices, all food was prepared and served with the freshest ingredients, hot, large portions, spicy pickled radish, pork fried rice and Happy family, strongly suggested, drinks were made with fresh juice, not syrupy, a big plus, you gotta try this place, I will definitely be back with more friends, ♥️♥️“

“Highly recommend reserving ahead if you have a party of five or more. They prep your table and the service from beginning to end was very personable, friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. The sashimi all-you-can-eat is very fresh and delicious. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their salmon and tuna sashimi, beef sirloin, takoyaki, yellow tail jalapeno, and so much more. AMAZING! One mistake I made was ordering miso soup. It was delicious, but it filled me up.“

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“Let me start with the staff, very friendly and welcoming. The best I've seen in Boston thus far. So thank you for the great hospitality Bosso.
The food was great. Their hand rolls are delicious. I also had hokkaido croquettes; these were special. I would definitely come back and try more of their dishes.“

“Some of the highest quality fish I've had in the Boston area outside of Uni and Oya. The only thing they need to fix is the pace (one person shouldn't get multiple rolls at once and the nori should always arrive crisp) and order (leanest to fattiest)“

“Amazing noodles and dashi“

“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!!“

“Incredible experience. High quality ingredients. Creative and beautiful presentation. Service is impeccable and informative. It is a bit traditional and on the serious side, so just be aware. The music though....... Overall this this place is master class and worth your hard earned money and worth your time. If youre a serious sushi lover come here ASAP!!!

“Super cute Japanese restaurant with cozy decor. The crispy squid tentacles was absolutely amazing. Light & crispy. The cold truffle crab soba was delightful & not too heavy with truffle aromatic. Only downside was we didn’t try more food!“

“So delicious!!! Nice clean interior, the service is so friendly, probably suitable for smaller groups (max like 4-5 people, any more and it will be crowded/hard to get seating)

The food was absolutely amazing and so flavorful with many options. I got the tan tan noodles, and you can ask for a small bowl of rice to go with any leftover sauce in your bowl.“

“José and his crew always serve beautiful, fresh, delicious sushi with innovative flair! The newly designed space is stylish and comfortable.“

“I have tried many different dishes, and none of them disappoint me. I love having my lunch or dinner here because the food is always fresh and staff is courteous. I highly recommend to eat here.�����“

“outstanding!! we missed our flight to South Beach Miami so we decided to spoil ourselves and boy were we spoiled. so so good. everything was outstanding. excellent cocktails too“

“Absolutely amazing!! I can’t wait to go back.“

“Definitely some of the freshest and tastiest seafood and innovative sushi and asian food I've had in a while, very fresh and tasty!“

“It doesn't get much better, and I have had sushi in many different places.“

“I tried this restaurant today and loved it. The fish and octopus were super fresh so I highly recommend trying anything with seafood in it. We also had a mushroom tofu dish, a couple of salads, and the strawberry tapioca dish and everything was so flavorful. A plus is the space which was really pretty and in such a nice location. I am glad to have discovered this gem of a restaurant and am definitely coming back!“

“Celebrating Father's Day. Food was wonderful drinks was great and our waitress was very attentive. Loved it!“

“Nice spot on the way home from Longwood and right next to BU. Comfort food and reasonable prices.

I enjoy the Kamo Nanban udon — duck slices an a tasty noodle soup. The side sauce is a delicate sour, pairs really well with the meat.“

“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“

“Great food and service. Will go back.“

“A cute “mom and pop” shop where a friendly older woman feeds you bigger bowls of food than you except and with such a warm feeling. It tasted like home-made food and all for $28 total (for 2 people). I loved it here and definitely want to come back.

Highly recommend the vegetable tempura and the katsu gyudon. The vegetables are marinated and seasoned to perfection.“

“The restaurant is exceptional and took care of my group of 3. The atmosphere is great!! Exotic and professional for our business team!!“

“The room was extremely empty with no decor or anything, just a few tables in a room with some ceiling lamps. Service was good, though there was only one waitress but luckily there weren't many people so I would recommend going on a less busy hour or day. The food was pretty good like the tempura sushi and the sirloin steak as well as the raw salmon and miso soup. The only few items I didn't enjoy as much was the eel egg omelet we ordered but besides that it was decent.“

“This neighborhood spot is worth a visit. The portions are generous, the pricing is reasonable and the service is attentive. It’s a small restaurant that seems to do a brisk takeout business. We were seated right away and ordered edamame, gyoza fried, sushi sashimi combo, beef chapchae, Dol Sot BiBimBap Beef and bulgoki. The sushi sashimi and beef dishes are good – I would not rate it in the same level as Japan or Koreatown food. For us, it’s a 3.5 stars but giving it 4 stars as I think it’s a standout in the neighborhood.“

“Fresh and tasty! Great meal option.“

“Tres velar experience!! Top chef!“

“Stumbled upon this gem while randomly browsing through Waltham, literally never hang around in this area, but this might change because this place has a WOW factor.

Amazing service, very fancy vibes, so calming, the food was so spectacular, I usually don’t force myself to finish the food but this, I had to scrape every last piece since the food was so worth it.

Will come back again ! Thank you for your hospitality Sakura!

Really recommend the golden rolls, and the Sakura special and the crab rangoons were the best ones with the house made dipping sauce ?“

“Great sushi Great service“

“Great small plates, gyoza, soft shell crab, maki is excellent Mt Fuji a favorite. Delicious drinks, fried green tea ice cream hard to find in New England!“

“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.“

“The food is fresh and sooo yummy, just incredible! New favorite lunch spot! Definitely recommend!“

“Very good ramen bowls and great service“

“As a college student in Somerville, I went this place every single week. After 15 years, I came back with my family and had all my favorite dishes including Wafu hamburg, katsudon, tonkatsu curry, and beef with tofu. They are all still super delicious, and I definitely will come back here when I visit Boston!“

“A gem! The owners were very friendly and attentive. The sushi was amazing! It was nice to just hang out at the sushi bar and enjoy a lovely dinner and share it with a friendly & thoughtful staff.“

“The sushi is good here. They put a lot of large pieces of fish on their rolls and the ingredients like the rice and what not are usually fresh. I usually just stick to 2 or 3 of my go to rolls there. Rainbow roll, spicy tuna and the torched roll. Usually 1 waitress handles all the tables during a lunch or dinner service and food comes out fast.“

“I'm new to the Boston area and this place has the best poke bowl I've ever had in my life. I will drive the extra distance just to come here.

The freshness of the fish and the quantity in the poke bowl was simply amazing. I will come back here many times I just wish it was closer to my house.“

“Everything was superlative - from the extensive food menu (all delicious) to the delightfully original cocktails and the exemplary service. Everything was top notch! We were celebrating and I couldn’t have picked a better spot to do so!“

“Excellent Poke bowls. Lots of options to choose from including diced mango and avocado is included! Great addition to the Burlington food scene.“

“Having a takeaway today at Berklee Noodles. Despite not being able to use the food app, they helped me with the order. The beef noodles was excellent. I like the attention to details as provided with the soup element separate, so you can judge how much chilli flavor you can add. The restaurant is small but was busy this lunchtime, proofing of tasty food with warm welcome.“

“Enjoyed dinner w my hubby at Hanami Sushi bar. He had pork noodle soup which he liked— very Spicey! I had miso soup with an array of cooked sushi. A pleasant atmosphere, open and quiet. Looked like a family friendly place.

“The food was great. The portions were big. My husband and I ordered from "all you can eat menu" and it was enough for two of us. We were able to finish everything. We also got crab salad and it was nice. My favorite was "Snow Mountain Maki." The atmosphere is good, not noisy. The servers are nice. For dessert, I had green tea ice cream and it was delicious. You have to be super hungry to go there because that way you can try many different maki.“

“Watching Chef make the rolls was awesome! Really knowledgeable too, I loved their menu. Plenty of great options, some harder to find stuff to, and the prices are amazingEverything was really tasty came out fast and was all fresh, we definitely recommend this place and will be coming back myself!!“

“Great atmosphere, excellent food, unique drink menu, fabulous music, great vibes“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“Excellent salmon bento box!“

“Came here for a late night meal. Staff was friendly and helpful. We grabbed a few items. The Tokyo style ramen, dope yolk , & crispy heirloom potato. All was pretty good. The ramen was hearty and the pork belly was crispy. Dope yolk was a different.all the texture just went together. All they have a decent food. I would be back“

“I got takeout here and it was so delicious! Their rolls were big, fresh and so worth the price. The space in the restaurant might seem a little but off at first (we were there when the dine in time was closed and only take out was being offered), but don’t let that fool you! I love this place and would totally come back again!“

“It was our best omakase expórtenle we had. The quality and creativity involved in the sushi plates were a great surprise. The chef was very friendly and explained all the different dishes and takes great care and thought on the preparation and offerings. The small and limiting setting gives a very nice and personal experience that was very enjoyable. Would definitely come back again.“
