Good sushi and apps and some cocktails are only $7 and they had a lot of alcohol, so pretty good bang for your buck!

Table for 2 on a Saturday night. The service was quick and attentive. The food was decent. Nothing too exciting that we tried. The chicken katsu and the chicken thigh stick were good. The teriyaki beef was a little over cooked. They offer a 10% discount for cash, we had to ask a second time to get the check adjusted. They were generally kind and helpful.

So bad. ate $150 and feel upset. Waste my appetite and time :( poor Boston people, should go to New York City for any Japanese food.The beef is well done and dry. Crab meat is premade-product and they use it everywhere with the sweet mayo sause, okra and chicken wings are over cooked. And the server took away my chopsticks by accident.The only good thing is their sashimi is thick cut and the toro is on point.

We were deciding what to eat for our anniversary dinner. One kid wants sushi, another wanted ramen or chicken katsu, wife wanted sashimi and I wanted Yakitori. We landed on Omori Izakaya.Parking was easy right on the same street and plenty of spots available at dinner time on a Saturday.We got there earlier than our reservation. We were seated immediately with maybe few more tables open. We order some Yakitori and appetizers to start. The pork belly, chicken gizzards and chicken hearts were extremely flavorful. The chicken skin was crunchy perfection. The octopus was grilled to perfection with a little of mixed spices on top. Hotate Kaiyaki came out on a little warmer with a little flame and very cool presentation. Tako Yaki was good as well.For main courses we order chicken katsu dinner and dragon roll and caterpillar and sashimi combo. The kids love the chicken katsu. They also loved the maki rolls. Sashimi also fresh.Overall we had a great time. The food were very good. The stars were the Yakitori skewers.Parking: Plenty of meter parking on the same street as the restaurant.

The comfycozy salty/savory stop of your dreams. Absolutely loved how they made the simple into so much more— the shumai was so fresh, not just the random assortment of blended up shrimp you usually get at restaurants. The soft shell crab is so incredibly concentrated, we were thinking they must use some kind of crab seasoning to get...more crab per crab? I'd suggest those two and maybe a drink and the unagi don, since the ramen I ordered was quite plain, and the beef was pretty tough (but great marinade!) The agedashi tofu is out of this world, definitely the best I've ever had, beating the ones I've tasted in Tokyo. Love how much marinade they place in the bowl with the tofu. Really made it special. Would love to hear less American music over the speakers and have full view of the bar (that would make it a full 5 star experience in my opinion! Alongside their entrees needing some work) But definitely a great place for apps.

Went here on a sunday afternoon and wasn't busy at all. Ordered the omakase for two and bot green tea. Tea wasn't too flavorful, but it has free refills. The sashimi was fresh and very good. The fatty tuna was especially full of flavor. The service was very good, and they checked up on us periodically to make sure we were good.

I really enjoyed my lunch here!We ordered the Agedashi Tofu, Eggplant, and Soft Shell Crab for appetizers, and every one of them were flavorful and well-presented. We opted for their selection of yakitori and were very pleased with the chicken, meatballs, and especially the shishito pepper. To wrap everything up, we had the Miyazaki roll, which has avocado, cooked shrimp, and mayo covered with seared wagyu with unagi sauce--this was absolutely fantastic, layers of incredible flavor with melt-in-your-mouth A5 grade beef. I'll be coming back again, especially since they actually have hot sake!
