“Parking: Food is pretty good, slightly more on the expensive side for AYCE. Most dishes come fairly quickly. Depending on the wait staff they may or may not offer to get you a new grill. On average the waitstaff are very quick to changing them regardless of a busy night or not. If you love BBQ, you don't want to miss out on the opportunities here, especially with Japanese Quality bites.“
“We got the salmon cups, which was very hearty and yummy! We also got the Botan Ebi Ikura and the Miso Butter Cod and another handroll which I forgot but all were so fresh and delicious in their own ways. We did have to wait 20 minutes to be seated since it is a small space, but it was totally worth it!“
“I have been to Japonaise for nearly 3 decades and all other locations they used to own. This little gem is operated by Takeo and his mom. Pure labor of love. Takeo works as primary baker. Everything here are delicious from breads, pastries, cakes, and some savory - Japanese delicacies. Takeo works very very long hours everyday making all of these. Wonderful folks. Asuki cream is my all time favorite.“
“My dining experience at Fuji at Newton was nothing short of spectacular! Right from the moment we walked in, the ambiance set a high expectation with its sleek, modern decor that felt both inviting and upscale. The lighting and music were perfectly set to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both romantic dinners and family gatherings.The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that were spot on. It's rare to find a place where the staff is genuinely enthusiastic about their offerings, and this enthusiasm was infectious!Now, onto the star of the show - the food. Fuji at Newton offers an extensive menu that explores the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine with innovative twists that are both creative and delicious. We started with the Gyoza, which were perfectly pan-fried to a delightful crisp on the outside while remaining succulent on the inside. But the real game-changer was the sushi - each piece was a work of art, fresh and flavorful, with the sushi rice seasoned to perfection. The Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll were particularly memorable, each bite bursting with freshness and complex flavors that danced on the palate.“
“TL;DR: Udon place with lots of variety of cold and hot noodles, and so good!Stopped by here for a quick bite for dinner and was very impressed. I had never had cold udon noodles before, and it was great!Interior is cute with some nice decor and plenty of seating. Service was nice, quick, and attentive.FOOD:~Cold Uni Udon (5/5): Cold dish! I love uni and ikura, so this hit the spot. The broth/sauce was a dashi flavor. Mixed it all up and was the perfect balance of umami and salty. The coldness of the dish really ensured the integrity of the udon noodles, and they were so perfectly chewy~Sukiyaki Udon (5/5): Hot dish! Tasted like hot pot! The beef was very tender and had a decent amount of cabbaged that was perfectly braised. I loved this dish.This is definitely a must try!“
“The truffle Mac and cheese and No 9 Truffle salt ramen were delicious! I ordered these online to be delivered to my hotel room and it came right to my door and in sustainable mostly paper packaging (no styrofoam!). Would eat here again!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Vegan“
“This high-end sushi restaurant offers exceptionally fresh fish and top-notch service. Our party of six opted for the family-style dining experience, and we were all delighted by the incredible dishes served. Each dish was truly amazing, showcasing the chef's skill and the quality of the ingredients.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with outstanding sushi.“
“Exceptional meal...so focused on the food and conversation I forgot to take any pictures. Would definitely recommend. All the sushi/sashimi we had was fresh and very nicely done. We did the gyoza which were nice...but the Chiharu pancakes were amazing..would go back just for those.“
“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!“
“I was in the mood for sushi for dinner and normally I go somewhere else but I thought I give this one a chance and I definitely will be back . The staff is so nice and friendly and greeted me when I walked in . And the food is soo good I had different kind of sushi and it is the best one I had so far.I highly recommend and I definitely will be back .“
“Hands down the best sushi in Boston! UNI has quickly earned its place as my go-to for celebratory dinners with my partner. Fantastic place to impress a date or family with a cool and fun atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming service ties this delicious experience together. We can't wait to go back!“
“Polite and fast service. Nice Moody atmosphere with open sushi bar so you can watch the chefs at work. Was busy but not too busy when I went on a Saturday night, perfect place to sit down and catch up with a friend. Prices are a little high, but food was very good.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“This is my go to coffee/tea shop. The atmosphere is always comfortable, welcoming and chill. I love getting the brewed tea lattes, I recommend trying the Paris blend! The staff is extremely nice and super helpful. You can also order food, I really liked the 3 cheese gyudon, 10/10 will be getting it all the time. They have great portions for both drinks and food. The price is appropriate with the quality and portions.“
“We love Tama. My family orders take out here once a week, and they are consistently delicious. The pork pan fried dumpling, edamame, spicy salmon roll and classic and spicy ramen are our go to. But we have tried some other items, and everything is delicious. We are so happy Tama opened close to our house. There really aren't any decent restaurants in the Milton area, so we lucked out with this one. I highly recommend eating in, or getting take out. It's very clean and always friendly.“
“Our favorite family restaurant. Everything is delicious and atmosphere is lovely. Everyone is really nice and friendly. Our family and friends love it and we’ve been going there for more than 10 years whether we eat at a regular table or in a tatami, we always enjoy the meal and the “
“Possibly the best hotpot place in the boston area. I’ve been to many and each offer a unique style and value. Shabu Zen is all all around win with excellent quality, great value, many choices and a wide appeal where anyone can find something they will like.“
“Cozy atmosphere, decent prices, free miso soup no matter what you order.Server kept forgetting items in our order but we would ask and he would say they're on their way.. I assure you, the tea coming after the sushi boat was made and eaten was definitely a forgotten tea.They have gluten free soy sauce and as a vegetarian I was able to eat a cucumber avocado roll.Vegetarian options: Not labeled on menu but you could ask.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free soy sauce.“
“Great Wok Wellesley is a culinary treasure tucked away in the heart of the town. With its inviting atmosphere and attentive staff, it promises a memorable dining experience. From classic Chinese dishes to innovative creations, every bite is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Great Wok Wellesley delivers exceptional Chinese cuisine that keeps customers coming back for more.“
“This is my all time favorite restaurant for Chinese food I'll get it everytime. Never have been disappointed with their food. I recommend trying their salad it has this amazing dressing on top that can't be beat. I also believe that they have the best phad thai in my opinion compared to all others I have tried.“
“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.“
“I have been coming to Hardy teriyaki for quite a while now and I am addicted to the supreme teriyaki chicken bowl. The chicken is always so fresh and tender and flavorful. I usually get it on top of the delicious fried rice. And that egg on top just brings it to another level of goodness. Not only is the food consistently delicious, the people who work there are so friendly and kind. My food is always ready when I get there and is given to me with a huge beautiful smile! love this place.“
“I stumbled upon this place on my way home from work and wow. The sushi is some of the best I've had. Everything tasted fresh and great quality. Got the spicy tuna and yellow tail, tuna and salmon nigiri, and crunchy tuna maki. Absolutely would recommend anything on this menu.“
“Celebrated family birthday lunch at Masa. Chef put on a fun performance cooking our orders (Hibachi Deluxe and Sea of Japan). At the end of the course, the waitress put on the mini-mouse costume, played birthday music and brought a complimentary ice cream Sunday for our birthday guy. It was a great experience.“
“Stopped here for an early dinner while picking my brother up from Boston(4/9). This is the type of place I tend to enjoy. Casual spot, quick service and affordable food. Mostly students when we went.I had the chicken donburi while my brother had the poke and sushi. The chicken donburi was crispy and delicious. Lightly fried and not too greasy. Teriyaki sauce was sweet and not too overpowering. My brother enjoyed his poke and sushi as well but said the poke was just alright for the price. Nothing special.If you’re looking for a quick bite that won’t break the bank, this is a good spot. Will have to try the sushi burrito if I ever come back here.“
“We love this place. I think it has slipped a little in the last few years. I would have rated it 5 stars 4 years ago. Be careful - a 10 piece sushi dinner "Market Price" was $66. They need to b more transparent with their prices or some diners like my family will never return.Parking: All good.“
“The sushi was delicious and they were very respectful of my food allergies. Not pictured but we also got the eel rice plate and the chicken udon, which we all enjoyed! Servings were very generous and all the employees were friendly and accommodating.“
“I really like this Japanese restaurant! I was in a hurry today so I just ordered takeout. Eel and beef tongue Don is very delicious and authentic. This makes me miss the eel rice and beef tongue that I had in Kyoto and Shanghai many years ago. They were tender and juicy, absolutely fresh and delicious! Volcano Maki is also amazing. The prawn tempura is crispy, tender and delicious, mixed with the rice, tobiko and tuna wrapped around it, making it unforgettable. The environment in the store is also very elegant. Next time I will definitely invite my relatives and friends to the store to enjoy the delicious food.“
“What can I say… we drive to this place from Cambridge and the service is just at the top! Those girl’s waiters are just fantastic. Efficient, kind and very very fast! The food is just amazing. They cook everything in a minutes. They truly respect your time and everything you ask for is right there with a smile and welcoming faces! Great family place! We love this place a lot!“
“We had our anniversary dinner here as it was one of our first date spot dinner places as the restaurant opened in 2019. The experience and food did not disappoint.We had the signature omasake, with some cocktails. Each plate was prepared with care and attention and we loved every single bite.Thank you all for the service!“
“HIDDEN GEM!! If you have a sushi craving and want BANG for your buck, this is the place. The service was quick and the people that work here are immensely kind. To say the food was incredible is an understatement. The Spider Tempura is a great starter. Same with the Maki combo. I got the Baked Salmon Maki and I couldn’t speak of it more highly. This place should have a line running down the block, i couldn’t recommend it more!“
“This place is the best!!! It has been a sweet second home for me and my best friend since we moved here for college. The sushi always tastes fresh and so flavorful. Not to mention their great desserts. And the amazing waitress that always greets us is a plus!!! Definitely would “
“The sushi is good here. They put a lot of large pieces of fish on their rolls and the ingredients like the rice and what not are usually fresh. I usually just stick to 2 or 3 of my go to rolls there. Rainbow roll, spicy tuna and the torched roll. Usually 1 waitress handles all the tables during a lunch or dinner service and food comes out fast.“
“I recommend for a party of 3+ and order Gamjatng. The soup is tasty, the pork bone with meat is very very soft. Pancake was the MVP for this meal. The spicy pork feet we ordered has a smell, avoid to eat skin, but the meat and taste recommend to order.“
“Overall solid food. Service was relatively fast, and I would definitely come back! I love their creative spin on a classic sushi roll- sushi tacos! Amazing! We ordered the salmon and hamachi tacos. The salmon one is slightly sweet while the hamachi has a smokier more umami taste. I am quite picky about rice but their sushi rice they used was excellent. Perfectly vinegary and a good amount of stickiness. The taco shell is made out of lightly fried nori which added a wonderful crunchy component to the texture! Overall I think I liked the salmon one slightly better... I couldn't really taste the truffled jalapeño butter in the hamachi one.“
“Came here recommended by a friend. The place was not crowded around lunchtime on the weekend so we got seated right away. The foie gras and wagyu beef tartare were tasty but the sizes were too tiny for each piece. Korokke was freshly made and very crunchy.However, the uni fried rice was quite disappointing. The uni from the dish had a strong raw taste that didn’t taste fresh.Overall, the ambiance was not bad and service was quite efficient. It’s a nice place for small groups of people.“
“I went with a group of people on St. Patrick's Day, of all days, in Boston, (the fact that it was St. Patrick's Day was an unfortunate coincidence) but it wasn't too crazy! The food was amazing, the udon bowls were gigantic, and my sushi was so fresh and flavorful! In spite of it being a very busy night, the service was quick, efficient, and friendly! Four stars for the atmosphere because it was pretty loud, but considering the circumstances I'm sure that at other times it is a lot more chill. I want to go back, downstairs there is all-you-can-eat hot pot, it smelled so good!!!Highly, highly recommend this place!“
“Went here in a group of 4. We got the miso ramen, kimchi ramen, 2 chicken katsu, shrimp tempura, & cheesecakes & fried ice cream. The food was really good all around. We had some mishaps with the cheesecakes but the manager was really kind & fixed it for us free of charge. It took us a while to get checked out, but they were understandably very busy. I would come back for the food & atmosphere.“
“I ordered some rolls for my son while waiting for his appointment to finish. The woman whom I spoke with when picking up the order was lovely. It's a well located restaurant in downtown Needham. My son loved his rolls! We will definitely go for dine in service in future.“
“My favorite sushi spot in Oak Square. It's nothing crazy special tbh but it always just simply fresh and good. Best reliable, affordable sushi place. I like how they keep the salmon in a big piece in their spicy salmon rolls. And their rice is flavorful and just right. The black capillary is also a good specialty roll. They do cash deals. I wouldn't say I love their sides, so I recommend stick with sushi, edamame, and miso. Definitely not a sit down spot, get it to go.“
“I LOVE SYMPHONY SUSHI. This is one of my go to spots to eat at and bring family/friends to. The food is always 10/10 and super reliable. The waiters are so nice and attentive. They also recognize their regular costumers. The space is very nice and they are always playing nice music. Even when they are busy the wait time is not long because they are very efficient.“
“Amazing sushi. I’ve been going here for years and the quality is always top-notch. It does get very busy, but when it isn’t the atmosphere is calm. The fish tank is pretty cool. The construction of the maki rolls is always great, and to be honest it all tastes amazing. I would recommend the maki named after the surrounding towns, for example the Wellesley roll. The other food is good too - the tempura and beef bibimbap are delicious. Best sushi around.“
“The most amazing ramen I have ever had! I loved it so much the broth was so rich bold and delicious. I went with family and we all loved our food. My mom lit up the moment she ate it. We had an amazing time. The waiters were very attentive and funny too. Had a delightful time.“
“Fin’s has been my go-to sushi place for 10 years!!! The quality of the sushi is great! My absolute favorite dish is the sushi pizza. Unfortunately the Cleveland Circle location never re-opened for dine-in service after the pandemic, but on the upside it makes their pickup and delivery times super fast.“
“Enjoyed the 갈비 비빔밥 (Galbi Bibimbap) which is essentially marinated beef short rib in a mixture of white rice and fresh vegetables and a fried egg. It was delicious and an enjoyable experience watching the food cook in the hot bowl right in front of me. The rice at the bottom crisped up and gave the dish that extra crunch I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise and I'd come again.“
“came here on a sunday evening with some friends. the restaurant seemed very empty and the workers greeted us with a bright smile when we walked in. i don't know why this place is empty! their sushi was fantastic. so fresh and delicious. i love salmon and theirs melted in my mouth with every bite. just delicious. miso soup was great too, perfect for cold weather. yummy takoyaki as well. will come here again.“
“sushi in Momento is one of the few sushi restaurants in Boston that I consider deliver next level sushi. The food is phenomenal. They have a snow crab roll, which is addictive. I love the crispy rice and the salmon and tuna sashimi is super fresh and delicious. They have some wonderful cook dishes as well and crispy shrimp in a slightly spicy sauce they offer you different versions of food on skewers. We got the scallop one and it was wonderful. Their drinks are also very good, the service is friendly and efficient“
“Food here is very good! We had the hot n' sour and wonton soups. Hot n' sour not all that spicy on this evening. I prefer spicier but it was delicious and packed with black mushrooms, etc. Egg rolls were good, boneless spare ribs were the strip type. They weren't bad but I like the meatier types. We also had the Ginjo fried rice which wasn't dark - I prefer a lighter style - and had big chunks of pork, shrimp and other ingredients. Fresh and good. Also we had the Singapore rice noodles. This was also very good. Light curry with snow peas, shrimp, etc. Overall a very good meal and we would definitely go back. They have an extensive sushi menu here but we didn't try it. Small but clean space.“
“We came across this quaint, stylish restaurant when seeking wonderful Japanese food with a hint of Asian flavor.Their curry beef and beef teriyaki are excellent. But the seafood noodle shocked us the most. It tasted great! Additionally, their boba tea made a fantastic aperitif.I am eager to return.“
“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.“
“I have always had great consistent food here. Small modern, casual Chinese and Japanese restaurant. Staff is always very friendly and you get service with a smile. I always start with their Hot and Sour Soup! They use a thick old school recipe that hits you with complex flavors, plenty of fillers like wood ear mushrooms, golden needle, pork and all the good stuff. It finishes with a strong kick that will clear your sinuses. Their Spareribs on the Bone are some of the best around. Definitely one of my favorites. Their Shrimp with Lobster Sauce has a delicious flavor to it. It has a little sweetness complemented with black beans. They switched to the smaller shrimp. I actually like this because you get one in every bite. Like a famous chocolate chip cookie. The shrimp are cooked perfectly are not rubbery at all. Love this dish! Wings are crispy and juicy! Beef Teriyaki is delicious! The Egg Rolls have a really nice flavor. The ingredients could be chopped a little finer. Their sushi is delicious! Today my daughter had a Sushi Taco! Very yummy! There's also conveniently an ice cream shop right next door if you have any room left. Highly recommend eating here!“
