Great clean food, salmon teriyaki, steam veggies and friendly service with Kim (nice smoky face from Central America, hope I’m righ…) at the Reguster… great price for a well balanced plate, to eat in or to take out.Vegetarian options: You can always ask, vegetarian sushi, steam veggies, tofu…Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp.
First time going;; I got the beef bento box and it wasn't great. My partner got the chicken teriyaki which was better, and the salmon teriyaki looked interesting but there were just better options in the area.

Very disappointing. ordered online and received low quality food and lousy sushi. Rice was not fully cooked and the Redbull sushi roll construction was amateur. The beef bento was not good either.

The location is nice, as it is surrounded by many other food spots and is close to Newbury Street, so you can shop afterward. The food is cheap, and the quality is average (it’s a “you-get-what-you-pay-for” situation).

Actually really really good for the price and convenience. Definitely exceeded my expectations for sure. Things seem to be made fresh, and I'm honestly quite happy with the chicken-beef bento box I ordered.
My go to place for comfort food. Food always arrives hot. I usually get a chicken bento with noodles with California roll or tempura!

(TAKE OUT) Absolutely atrocious, took forever to make my food, and when I finally got it they didn't give me any utensils or soy sauce cups... just packets shoved into the sushi containers. There was also a small black hair on 1 piece of sushi. The sushi was extremely soft (way more than normal) and was extremely fishy (way more than normal), as well as random black flecks of god knows what scattered on random pieces, also the rice was some how hard as hell. I will definitely never get food from this place ever again. 0/10 one of the worst food experiences I have ever had.

Very solid spot. Open late, perfect for a craving. The food presentation was neat, staff was friendly.

Good value bento and sushi rolls.So far I’ve tried their salmon bento, beef shrimp bento, and some sushi rolls. The quality was exactly what I expected from a value bento box. Salmon and beef were a tad dry, but the teriyaki seasoning elevated the flavors. The real surprise was the quality of the sushi rolls, which were unexpectedly good, rivaling or even surpassing pricier options like those at Whole Foods. Both the Salmon Avocado Roll and the Eel Avocado Roll were generously filled, making them a steal at their price point. Overall, a worthwhile visit for budget-friendly Japanese fare.
