“Great food. Often busy at nights - especially Friday and Saturday and it can get loud. Never had to wait for a seat for lunch. Service is great but can be slow when crowded. One of the few restaurants that serves red miso soup which I prefer over the more bland white miso you usually get at Japanese restaurants.“

“I tried vegan specialty Mango Tango roll, it was awesome tasty & excellent. The Ginger & Wasabi was very fresh. The taste was amazing, but it'd be nice if they have little bigger portion

Vegetarian options: They have vegan normal & specialty rolls“

“I’m so happy to have a place nearby that serves great Korean food! The dishes are flavorful and satisfying, exactly what I was hoping for. I also tried the sushi, and it was fresh and very filling.

The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of parking available. I didn’t have to wait at all, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a solid spot for both Korean cuisine and sushi lovers. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is one of the best sushi spots in the area. I would recommend calling ahead for a table on a busy night. Parking is metered on the street or you can pay for parking in the nearby public garage around the corner.

If you pay in cash, your bill is 50% off- this is an unheard of deal. As a result of this deal and due to popularity, the food is always fresh here. I recommend the sweet potato roll as a vegetarian option- very tasty!“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“Fantastic food, great service, clean with reasonable pricing. We ordered the sushi boat for three, easily feeds 4 people.“

“Back when I was a wee teeny bopper, my favorite parts of lurking around Bridgwater mall was the Sarku Japan sample lady giving out bites of tantalizing teriyaki chicken. Well, clearly those foundational years have successfully secured my lifelong addiction and our family comes here often, despite the less convenient location. Fast easy and always tasty, we usually grab a few sushi rolls too. A hit with the kids, even the vegetables part. Sarku will always have a special place in my stomach.“

“First time. New to town. Got a no-rice roll, a spicy tuna roll and seaweed salad. A strong 4 stars. Very good, but different from what I'm used to...Somerville, NJ. Staff was 100% on point. Friendly and service was fast. I will definitely go back and try more.“

“Always the best sushi in town and today didn't disappoint. Love the spicy Maki combo with three great rolls and a side salad plus their hot teas. Delicious. Always fresh and the service is outstanding, I love coming here again and again.“

“This is my absolute favorite place to go in town. Everyone is so nice and I always crave their sushi. I just recently became gluten free and was worried I'd miss out on my favorites. However, they gave me a list of options and even added extra gluten free sauce packets to my order. It's also such a good price for their quality of food!! Highly recommend:)“

“good service and good food“

“I have been going for years simply because you get consistently excellent portions for the price. That is still the truth today.“

“Aikou is outstanding, in all regards…from the service, ambiance, presentation and personality. You will not find a better establishment that tops the charts in all categories. The quality of food is outstanding and exquisite, your orders will speak for themselves.“

“This is a small Japanese restaurant. There is a good selection on the menu and the food is very good I like the bento box since there's a selection of different items on it and it was amazing. It has some sushi some appetizers tempura Etc all on one plate“

“Nice variety of foods for 1 complete price, and quite tasty“

“It’s pretty good but I’ve only been here once. I’ve tried a lot of Asian fast food places and their food is better than average. The lo mien is tasty, not too salty or dry. I also got the sesame chicken which was tender but just a lil too strong with the seasoning (kind of salty). The tofu was reallly good!! Nice customer service too.“

“Best Chinese & Japanese I’ve had, from their green tea with toasted brown rice to their soups, their general Tso is always a good balance of spice to sweet, very accommodating with gluten allergy for my partner. They are always nice and we tend to catch going once a week at this point, very good every time“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“So I've never been much of a sushi person, but my last trip here with friends changed my mind on that so now I'm locked in sushi mode ! I really like the all you can eat aspect so I can sample a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed my Seafood Udon, mackerel and crab sashimi, Edison rolls and more ! Want to come here soon !“

“We celebrated a family birthday at Yutaka Hibachi in Somerville, and it was an unforgettable experience! The chefs are incredibly skilled and entertaining, making the meal both delicious and fun. Everyone in our group was impressed by the quality of the food—from perfectly cooked steak and shrimp to fresh sushi and tasty fried rice.“

“Great service with amazing food. Bianca the waitress is very friendly and super fast“

“This place is legit, authentic Korean food. The outside looks unassuming, and quite possibly easy to pass by, but the dishes I’ve tried have been on point especially for being a hole in the wall. Classic Korean dishes done right without being made overly sweeten or watered down like a lot of places these days. Recommend!“
