Takeout was over 30 minutes late, and the almost 30 dollar sashimi dinner tasted fishy and not fresh. First and last time going here.

Delicious and fresh sushi and sashimi at a hidden spot! But as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Come on, store! We got the toro tataki and scallop uni tataki as well as the toro hand roll from the omakase menu, and the lunch special makimono. All amazingly tasty and we are hungry for more!

High quality fish and excellent service! For such a reasonable price, the fish is incredibly fresh. The staff are always friendly and there’s never a long wait for food. Would definitely recommend!

Picked up a sushi platter for lunch for four people, and it was super high quality and also prepared exactly on time. The owner also threw in an extra roll, which was very nice. Would definitely recommend!

Best sushi place by far!! Every-time i come here it’s a wonderful experience, you can feel the positive connection in the food as well as in the smiles of the workers. If the sushi wasn’t already good enough the atmosphere they have created makes it 10x better. Rainbows§Radiance .

I don't usually leave review, but their sushi is good! It seems a lot of people don't know about this place yet, or at least that it is good now, but I don't think there is better sushi in Coolidge Corner and I would hate to see them go out of business.
Great food, nice folks in the customer service, decent price! House salad with Katsu chicken is great, so is the rising sun, mango sushi thing , uno toro sashimi etc. mostly in that order.

I used to frequent this place during my grocery run to the nearby Stop&Shop every single weekend. At the time, I'd walk past it, place an order, and pick it up on my way home from the grocery store. I'd always order the lunch combo 3 maki rolls with soup and salad, and it was something around $15 for some pretty tasty sushi.In recent years, I believe ownership has changed and the prices have increased, but the quality of the sushi has gone up a good deal to compensate. The 3 maki roll lunch combo is now $18.95 with miso soup, but the cost is well worth it. And while I don't go here as frequently as I used to, I still make it a point to have at least every month or so. On the outside, Rainbow Sushi looks like an average normal sushi shop. There are a few tables inside and I never see the place too busy. However, I'd say that this is one of the best sushi options in Brookline and even all of Boston. It may not look like much, but the quality of the fish is really good and fresh. I've never had a bad piece of sushi from this place, and everything tastes incredibly flavorful and high quality. On this particular instance, I ordered 4 rolls:Spicy tuna roll: This roll (and all of the spicy rolls) is a bit different from other places - in a very good way. Instead of heavily minced tuna with tempura flakes, Rainbow Sushi uses chunks of red plump tuna with their tempura mix. The result is a nice flavorful, fresh, and tasty roll with really great texture. It isn't a paste like a lot of the other places - instead, you can actually feel and taste the individual gems of fish, and it's my favorite place for the spicy tuna.Salmon avocado roll: The salmon avocado roll is a basic salmon avocado roll, but the salmon is very fresh as well. The rice is also the perfect texture, and the ratio of filling to rice is perfect. No complaints on this one!Spicy salmon roll: Just like the spicy tuna, the spicy salmon roll has large chunks of diced salmon mixed in with their spicy mayo and tempura flakes. It really makes a huge difference in taste and texture, and I love it!Spicy yellowtail roll: I'd say the same thing here as the spicy tuna and spicy salmon, but even more so. The yellowtail chunks in this roll are large and plump. Taking a bite out of one of these is just an incredible feeling, and the flavor really explodes. I'd HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try if you are in the area, and I'd even suggest taking a trip out to Brookline specifically to try this restaurant. This is a mid-priced option with an extremely high quality of sushi. I've reviewed a good number of other sushi restaurants before, and Rainbow Sushi is really outstanding. I love that the quality matches that of the upper-priced restaurants in the area, but the price point and the atmosphere is much more affordable and approachable. We're truly lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood - 5/5!
