43 Best Sushi Bars in Boston

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!“

“This spot offers a truly unique and delicious food concept, with everything made fresh and packed with flavor. We’ve already been twice, despite living over 30 minutes away! The food is undeniably top-tier—worthy of a high-end dining experience—yet it’s served in a casual diner setting, which creates a bit of a contrast. The space is bright but lacks an atmosphere that matches the excitement of the cuisine. Additionally, they don’t have a liquor license, so no sake pairings, which feels like a missed opportunity. Overall, the food is a solid 10, while the rest is a 7 or 8—not because anything is wrong, but simply because it doesn’t quite align with the quality of the dishes. Definitely worth the trip for the food alone!“

“Overall good experience. The food was delicious. And some dishes were fun such as the flaming salmon. However, we are spoilt living in Bermuda and the sushi itself was not as good as we are used to. But that is not a reflection on this restaurant - as we have set a high bar. The location itself was marked down also. A long corridor style restaurant. Meaning that one side of the table faced the wall. Which made it harder to feel the atmosphere. Take someone you like to look at.“

“Mind-Blowing Culinary Experience at UNI Dining at UNI is nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Take's talent is truly remarkable, turning every dish into a masterpiece. The sashimi is unbelievably fresh, each slice practically melts in your mouth, showcasing the incredible quality and craftsmanship that UNI is known for. One of the standout dishes was the Foie Gras sushi with pop rocks and strawberry. The combination of flavors and textures was nothing short of genius—a perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and a playful pop that left me in awe. It’s a daring creation that speaks to Chef Take’s innovative spirit. My personal favorite, though, has to be the Toro topped with caviar. The buttery, luxurious texture of the Toro paired with the briny burst of caviar is an experience I won't soon forget. It's the kind of sushi that dreams are made of. The service at UNI is also top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like a VIP from start to finish. They are well-versed in the menu and make excellent recommendations, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless and memorable. UNI is, without a doubt, a dining destination that should be on every food lover’s bucket list. Chef Take’s talent shines through in every dish, making it an unforgettable experience.“

“We made reservations online for the Omaska. It was $300 which broke down to $120 per person with tip and tax. The tables were perfectly space out. They gave us a 2 hour limit which was enough time for the 12 course Omaska. Presentation on everything was amazing. Each course was fresh and delicious in their own way. It was hard to hear the man over his mask so I couldn't get any names. We had uni, tuna belly, scallops, and more. All the Courses were small but packed with favor. You can take there was attention to detail in the ingredients and presentation. Definitely, worth the money was a special event like a birthday. Would definitely come back“

“Best authentic Sushi I had in the US! They brought Sushi chefs from Japan! 🇯🇵“

“Love it! Ingredients were fresh and the sushi rice was delicious! Will definitely return 😋“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“Best udon noodles ever 🥰 beef with kimchi nice and warm on a rainy day.“

“Food was solid high quality sushi with creative preparation and freshness. Menu can be overwhelming so I’d advise having a look before you go there. Our server was lively and informative. Prices are generally high but acceptable for the occasional visit or event. The decor was modern and comfortable.

Parking: We lucked out finding parking a few blocks away but it would have taken a while had we not happen upon the space. Make sure you leave enough time to park.

Kid-friendliness: Perfectly acceptable for kids as it’s not a quiet environment, but you probably wouldn’t want to as it is upscale and everyone is seated.“

“As good as it gets for sushi around Boston. Super fresh, good amount of options but not overwhelming. Poke bowls are awesome as well. Any time I pick it up directly the staff are super nice and helpful as well. If you’re looking for top-quality sushi, without paying downtown prices, order it here.“

“Love them. Highly recommend the spicy eel coconut maki.“

“What might one expect from a a subterranean sushi den featuring the all-star Kenta Katagai? Nothing but the best, of course! Chef Katagai belongs to an inner circle of the world's grand masters, channelling all his passion and expertise into his sushi, shaping each and every piece to perfection in view of diners. The decor and service, just like the meal, elevate the silence and purity of the materials used.
ありがとう - arigatō.“

“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“

“Elegant spot in South Boston. We had a reservation for a table but requested to sit at the sushi bar since the available tables were quite close to the door, which had no vestibule to buffer the cold air rushing in. The host graciously allowed us to tuck in at the sushi bar (there's a regular bar too and they seemed to be serving food there for those guests as well). My husband and I shared a fried softshell crab, which was helpfully cut into pieces that allowed easy eating with chopsticks, as well as pork gyoza. For dinner he had sushi and I had shrimp and vegetable tempura. Both came with miso soup, which was comforting on a cold night. The space is "cozy" with tables close together. I use walking sticks but had no trouble navigating the tight space; I'm not sure whether wheelchair users could do so, so ask when reserving if you have a wheelchair user in your party.“

“I only visited to quiet 🤫 hunger pangs, the unauthorized sequel to Games 🎯, and I was short on time. The Furikake Mac Salad appetizer looked good, the ingredients read okay, and the price is right ▶️! It tasted good and held me over till dinner.
Service was good. I was given a smile. I ordered at the self checkout screen.
I am curious about their items on the menu. They have multiple locations and I am going to recommend this one.
There is a dining area in the center of the market.
Garlic 🧄 Spam Musubi? I hope Vikings do not show up!“

“Beautifully plated and always delicious. The staff is phenomenal and caring and attentive and the owner is a wonderful man. Always goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy“

“So excited I got to enjoy the Roasted Turkey Sandwich today! Love the T.V. show & cookbooks so this visit was a bucket list item.“

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

“Great service and excellent/affordable food. Try the miso soup (I added tofu), the chicken basil fried rice, the veggie spring rolls, and the red/massaman curries. We have visited here a few times now and it definitely won't be the last. Cheap drinks available too!“

“I enjoyed everything I had here. Only thing mid was the pork katsu. Kaarage chicken, takoyaki and sweet potato tempura were hits, along with the mango cake.

Service was great--attentive and friendly.

I'd go back.“

“On our Wednesday Night Culinary 🧑‍🍳 Travels we ended up in Roslindale Village at The Village Sushi & Grill🥢. We sat outside on the Patio and were Greeted by our Waitress who was Welcoming and Helpful with Menu choices. She took our Drink and Appetizer orders for the 😋Tempura Starter, 😋Chicken on Skewer, 😋Don Shumai (deep fried), 😋Scallion Pancake, Sushi Starter, 😋Miso Soup,😋 Unagi (Eel) Sushi and an Entree of Bui-Go-Ki 😋. Everything was 😋 Delicious and Tasty. 😋 The Drinks were Ice Cold 🍷🍻. The Service was Excellent 👍.
Highly Recommend Village Sushi & Grill . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I was there with some friends before a concert. This isn’t the first time I’ve been to symphony sushi. The service is always a little too fast for my liking. Like the apps come out 5 minutes before the mains so you don’t have any time. But over all I’ve never had bad food here. Everything I’ve gotten here has been excellent“

“Friendly service with awesome sushi. Best around town.“

“The ambiance of the restaurant was great! Our server was wonderful and assisted out choosing a fabulous meal. All the food looked great. The flavors were interesting and very complimentary. We wanted an interesting and different food experience before the show and were not disappointed. We will definitely be back!!“

“Mamosan is a chain restaurant by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto and this one is the only proper restaurant in North Station’s Hub Hall.
We went right after a Celtics game finished, so it was very crowded but the service was quick and attentive.

We tried the Pork Gyoza, Spicy Wontons, Spicy Tonkotsu and Spicy Dan Dan noodles. The Pork Gyoza came with sizzling hot oil, but was otherwise unremarkable. The spicy chickens wontons were very bland and the oil made them feel too greasy. Both appetizers were a let down.

The Tonkotsu ramen was quite tasty. The noodles were cooked well and the broth was properly seasoned and did not feel too salty or heavy. Our issue was the kakuni braised pork belly, which was rather bland and either very chewy or too fatty. It was not the best ramen we have had, but still very good.

The spicy Dan Dan noodles were also very tasty and probably seasoned. The noodles were perfectly cooked but we had the same issues with the kakuni braised pork belly as in the Tankotsu ramen.

Parking: The restaurant is located on North Station / TD Garden so there is a parking garage, but I would not recommend driving here just to eat.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor with no obstructions for wheelchairs.“

“This is my go to for quick lunch with a friend or a solo sushi trip. Service is fast, food is fresh and the lunch pricing is literally unbelievable. Sushi for 2 with appetizers and drinks under $60??? Hell yeah. The store is always clean and the staff has been friendly every time I’ve gone.

Vegetarian options: They have an entire Vegetarian platter and tons of options!“

“It's almost the only Mazesoba restaurant in downtown Boston, and the rolls and Mazesoba are delicious!! However, the inside of the store is small and there is a long line on weekend evenings, so you have to wait outside and it is very cold in the winter.“

“The best in Boston.“

“Recently changed owners hence the name change from Sushi Time to Umami Sushi. My go to was the Spicy Salmon Don from Sushi Time at an incredibly affordable price. To my surprise, I learned that Sushi Time has changed to Umami Sushi and the price had gone significantly up! I tried my go to meal anyways, but unfortunately did not taste the same. :( Friendly workers though. Maybe I'll try something else but I miss Sushi Time!“

“The food is amazing and the service was outstanding. Very friendly and quick.“

“If you’re looking for the ultimate sashimi experience, this place is pure perfection. Every slice of sashimi is unbelievably fresh, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that showcases the highest quality seafood. The presentation is like a work of art—each piece carefully arranged to highlight its natural beauty. From buttery otoro to delicately sweet scallops, every bite is an explosion of pure umami.

Beyond the food, the service is on another level. Attentive yet unobtrusive, the staff anticipates your needs before you even ask. They explain each dish with expertise and serve with grace, making you feel like a VIP from start to finish. The ambiance is nothing short of luxurious—elegant decor, soft lighting, and a sophisticated atmosphere that elevates the entire dining experience.

If you want world-class sashimi with five-star service in an ultra-luxurious setting, this is the place to be. A true masterpiece of Japanese culinary excellence!“

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

“This restaurant is so good, it is my first time here and I am impressed. The flavor is very authentic Asian, my favorite was the mango crispy duck and the pai thai. The pai tai tastes sweet and sour, the flavor is clean and refreshing. The duck is tender, the skin is crispy, and the sauce is similar to curry, and there is only a hint of spicy. I also like the fried chicken, it is crispy and juicy, and the sweet and spicy sauce just add a perfect layer of the taste. The curry were also really good, we had red curry with beef and green curry with seafood. I didn’t try the red curry but my friend love it. And my green curry is a definite recommendation, the seafood with curry taste perfect, there is a hint of spicy although it was mild. We had Ice Thai tea, both regular and green tea ones. And I love the green tea one, it is new. The service was really good, love it.“

“The food is good, very tasty. But the service unfortunately has a lot to improve. The atmosphere is also basic, not very much thematic, it’s just like “you come, eat and leave”, not very much like a place that I would take photos to show friends or anything. But overall the food is great for the price.“

“My partner and I came here on Valentine’s Day with pretty high expectations based on the great reviews and how new/trendy it looked. While the food and service overall were good, there is plenty of room for improvement. The menu is pretty small and limited which I was not expecting based on it being an Asian fusion place. We ordered the Pork Egg Rolls, Shishito Peppers, Pork Gyoza Dumplings, Garlic Edamame, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Chef’s House Fried Rice to share. When we gave the order, our waitress said those were amazing choices and we wouldn’t be disappointed. The pork egg rolls were solid, nothing special and lacking flavor in my opinion. Especially for the price, I wouldn’t order them again. The shishito peppers were good, with a nice salty citrusy flavor, but no dipping sauce. I would recommend them. The pork gyoza dumplings were similar to the egg rolls in that they were solid but lacked flavor. I felt like I could make better ones at home, no sauce with these either other than the sauce on top. The edamame was very disappointing. I am not picky at all, but they were overcooked and soggy, and completely wet from the sauce. They were literally hard to eat because when you put them in your mouth they fall apart and you can’t separate the beans from the shell, causing you to have to pull out the shell from your mouth. Not pleasant. We ate some but gave up on finishing them. DO NOT RECOMMEND. The spicy tuna roll was OUTSTANDING. We eat a lot of sushi and we HIGHLY recommend the tuna roll. The pork fried rice was good, a lot of ingredients which I liked but it also could have used more flavor. It felt like it was missing something. It also weirdly came with a sauce which was good, but why do you need sauce for fried rice? For drinks we ordered the Japanese sour (solid), the lychee mojito (good), the yuzu martini (I loved it, my partner was meh) and the valentine drink special which was also good. The service was good, the waitress checked in on us like 5 times while our food was coming out but then when we actually wanted to order the second drink round, it took her a while to come back. The water-filler-upper was on his game, filling up our water the second it got halfway empty 😂. They gave us chocolate covered strawberries on the house for Valentine’s Day which was nice. I wish they had more sushi options, as I would like to come back to try those and the other items on the menu we didn’t order. Also, the vibe was great. The interior is very cool!“

“An amazing sushi restaurant with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a wide variety of options. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the service is quick and efficient. Every time I dine here, it’s a fantastic experience. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful, and the flavors are consistently outstanding. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi or is looking for a great dining experience!“

“Got this place for the first time when I was craving some terriyaki chicken and milk tea!!! Was so delicious. I love the cabbage and broccoli they were steamed and seasoned perfectly over the white rice. Definitely ask for extra sauce it was so, so good. Quality ingredients, tummy felt so happy and satisfied after. Love that they're open late too!! Will be coming back many times“

“Good hot , service was quick, price was fair.“

“I did not think they had the biggest selection but it was good and love the strawberry lemonade refresher with boba. And it was also a bit pricey. I liked the atmosphere and it was really clean and a pretty nice building and it’s around a good area with a bus stop right outside. I recommend building your own poke bowl and getting a drink because they are all good. Also the vegetables are very fresh.

Kid-friendliness: They were nice“

“Came here to try the new bubble tea line. The new favors were brown sugar, ube milk, Thai milk and matcha milk . We also grabbed the Fenway special and spicy Hawaiian. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The drinks were all Delicious. They came with matcha boba balls and brown sugar boba balls. My favorite definitely the ube milk. The Fenway Special was so spectacular. All the ingredients just went well together. The spicy mayo was definitely clutch on it. The spicy Hawaiian was a well balance of flavors and textures. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny for the quality. Definitely, will be back to get my poke bowl fix.“
