Get a few rolls each with friends and try them all. Also, they are excellent about allergies and have items containing shellfish clearly marked as such on their menu.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Some of the best sushi in Boston. Black Tiger Maki and Green Tea Creme Brulee was bomb!! Top-notch service and super pretty ambience. I would go every day if I could! My now #1 fav

Miso soup was spot on and the sushi is certainly above par. The seating arrangement is a little underwhelming but the service more than makes up for it. 😊🍣

The Spider Roll is a wonderful classic here — along with the Volcano Roll and Ladybug Roll

My favorite makis are: Spicy Tuna, Ebi Mango, Baked Salmon, Fugakyu Maki & Shrimp Tempura.. but their all amazing! The sushi is very fresh and makes an unforgettable impression on your palette.

Very place for sushi and very crowded during the weeknights and weekends. Also, it's VERY EXPENSIVE so watch out how much you eat! Decent selection of saki, too, though pricey as well!

Seafood kayaki (in the picture) is delicious. Sushi and hamachi carpaccio ok. Stay away from cocktails so sweet without alcohol :(

Everything was amazing! The black tiger maki was wonderful. The spicy tuna melts in your mouth. The ambiance is great. The edemame we perfect. Overall, best sushi i've had in boston.

Seaweed Salad, Toro Sashimi, BJ maki, Louisiana Maki. Cucumber Saketini followed by a glass of Oroya with the sushi. Green Tea Tempura and a Truffeltini for dessert. You're welcome.

Voted "Best Japanese Restaurant" by @BostonPhoenix readers in 2012! To really impress your date, shell out for the kobe beef sashimi. Nothing says love like actual gold garnish on an appetizer. Read more

A bit expensive, but totally worth it. I love unagi don and mini kaiseki. Mango smoothie is also good.
Bonnie TuballaNovember 27, 2011
The smoked salmon mango maki is great! Order anything with spicy mayo or tempura. The BJ maki has everything you want (tho not healthy). Get hot sake!

Very accommodating to food allergies. 3 vegans had no trouble funding good food here. Just tell them your food allergy/dietary preference and they will look out for you!

Mini kaiseki is nice and filling. Donburi was microwaved I think? It was a bit mushy. Fresh salmon and tuna. Quick delivery.
Kim SandersJuly 18, 2011
Seriously amazing vegetarian sushi. If you like sweet potato get the "pine-tato" the flavor combo of the potato and pineapple is to die for.

Our favorite roll Sake Papaya Maki is the most delicious and creative roll excellent flavor combination
Neil HirschNovember 10, 2013
Ask for a table on the third floor. Super nice digs.
Diana TranDecember 23, 2014
Smoked salmon mango maki and the Louisiana maki are sooo good
Namhee ChoDecember 20, 2012
Come here for lunch and order katsu don! Best katsu don!!

Maki combo is a good deal for 3 rolls, miso soup and a salad.

They no longer accept exchange requests. I many times requested to exchange tuna for salmon on my mini kaiseki dinner set but they ignored and do not honor such requests... but still good sushi.

Expensive but delicious! Love the rainbow roll.

Ask for the off menu Bukkake roll. It's like a party in your mouth!
Carol ZMOctober 20, 2013
Best food and huge variety. Really authentic ambiance.
Karen FrasconaAugust 16, 2014
Caterpillar roll is delicious and love the banana dessert
Steve PolandJuly 1, 2010
The booths are really neat! Sushi was delicious. The recommended beer is typical of japanese beers- light, 5%, kinda tastes like budweiser- not special, save your $13.
Stephen SheppardMay 14, 2012
Miso lobster soup and spicy tuna maki are world class!
@BostonAttitudeOctober 18, 2013
Baked Salmon Maki at the Bar in the lounge is my spot

Best place everr
A SJanuary 9, 2017
Tried the salmon skin roll and the amai ocean maki - did not enjoy the taste of either and only 6 tiny pieces per roll. Not worth it.

Open late, last call on sushi is around 1:30am!
JaimDecember 26, 2013
Miso yaki and chawanmushi here aren't bad. Dragon roll was filled with sweet potato which was weird.. Everything else is just gourmet priced for below average jap food.
