Nick HolroydAugust 2, 2015I had a really great meal here. Split a sushi boat with a friend, had a phenomenal pork bun, and crushed a delicious Scorpion bowl , complete with a flaming shot of sambuca in the center.Upvote1Downvote- BU TodayAugust 19, 2014Basho's superb sushi list includes plenty of inventive signature rolls, and fresh ingredients flown in daily giving the restaurant claim to some of the best sushi in Boston.UpvoteDownvote
Tainah M.December 6, 2015Excellent service. I can't remember our server's name, but she was so nice and accommodating. Decent food, but they stopped serving wagyu beef about two months ago. Good option in the Fenway area.UpvoteDownvote
Vanessa GatlinFebruary 17, 2014(Best of Boston 2013-PRE/POST-FENWAY DINING) Improper Bostonian says, "When you're looking for something less likely to sink you into a sluggish haze in the sixth inning, walk a couple of blocks. "UpvoteDownvote
Jeremy KrantzSeptember 24, 2014Izakaya-style pub food with a modern approach and a sleek decor. A tad pricey but definitely a welcomed addition to the areaUpvote1Downvote
Melinda GreenOctober 10, 2011Happy Hour! 1/2 off great selection of awesome apps (Get: Tuna Kimchi Sashimi) & sushi (incl. Crazy and Fenway Rolls!) Sunday-Thursday 10-11:30pm and Monday-Friday 3-6pm.UpvoteDownvote- Boston PhoenixJune 29, 2010Try the miso black cod, served here with a little sweet citrus accent in the glaze. The Japanese method brings out even more richness to the white fish, always in a small portion, deeply satisfying. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
- Rue La LaSeptember 5, 2012Get the ginger edamame for a spicy kick to start your meal, then indulge in a savory variety of sushi, sashimi, and Robata grill items.UpvoteDownvote
- Kárenly NievesJune 27, 2014There's nothing better than a good crunchy signature roll and a window seat...so refreshing!

Get their spicy tuna, Boston or Spider roll! Great place to have dinner and then head over to Citizen Public House next door for some unique cocktails!UpvoteDownvote- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Claire highly recommends Basho for their amazing sushi selection.

Maria SánchezMarch 6, 2017Great gyozas! Crazy roll and Seasonal fruit bowl are good too!UpvoteDownvote- Boston PhoenixJuly 30, 2010Our critic was knocked out by the flavored sashimi platter, the kurobuta pork noodle soup, and the bellweather phoenix roll. The novelty is actually robata — neat little charcoal-grilled skewers. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
if you order noodles in soup, be sure to ask for the spicy broth; it tastes of togarashi, but makes all the difference. #ramenquestUpvoteDownvote
The tuna tataki is amazing, as is the kayaki....ask for lite cheese though. Scallop Kiwi roll I'd my favoriteUpvoteDownvote

Amelia DixonJanuary 2, 2012We loved the avalanche roll and the green monster roll. Everything here is fresh and delicious. :-)UpvoteDownvote- Jeremy KrantzAugust 18, 2014Get some Shishito peppers to start off your meal. Great for sharing.UpvoteDownvote
ThrillistAugust 18, 2010Head here for a free "Red Sox" roll during any home/away game or pop in from 3:30-6:30pm (or after 10:30pm) for $6 bar bites.UpvoteDownvote
Hot new place down by Fenway. Great Ramen and Sushi. If Fried Oysters are on the menu, THEY ARE A MUST!UpvoteDownvote
Alyssa ChristiansonJanuary 27, 2011Miso black cod is delicious but sometimes they overdo it with the sesame oil. Sashimi is always extremely fresh as well.UpvoteDownvote- Quick service, large menu, friendly staff. Spicy tuna still my favorite!UpvoteDownvote
Erwin ChukNovember 18, 2012Try the Steamed Bun Sandwich - with pork and pickled cucumberUpvoteDownvote
The only spicy tuna rolls as good as Douzo!UpvoteDownvote
Brian NixonJune 7, 2010This is where I work, aside from the management this place is great. Super chill vibe and fantastic food, not just sushiUpvoteDownvote
Duke BravisDecember 10, 2011Sexy atmosphere, sexy music, sexy sushi. If you take a date here you're going to have sex.UpvoteDownvote
The duck soup with Ramen is the best. It costs only $8.00 with four pieces of duck.UpvoteDownvote
Bomb-ass sushi. I had my birthday here once. It was unforgettably forgettable.Upvote2Downvote
UserMay 4, 2011Wheel chair accesible, but the tables are very tight, if you have a lift, aim for the bar height tables on the far left.UpvoteDownvote
