    Had the the Bass, Hamachi (yellowtail amberjack), and Mackerel, all decent compared to other places in Boston. Large variety of sharable dishes, can't go wrong with the Beef Short Rib Moo Shu.

    Great atmosphere. Bartenders treat you well. Same DJ both Saturday and Friday but will make you think you think you are experiencing 2 different dj. I love this spot.

    Can't go wrong here. I've done the sushi, lobster rangoons, and dumplings. All have been phenomenal.

    The only thing decent here is the Red Dragon sushi roll .. delish. The bartenders are easy on the eye's other than that, the place is a flop.

    Lobster Rangoon and Tempura Rock Shrimp Roll are the best! For desert, nothing better than the Chocolate Tart. ;) Check that out!

    If you sit at the sushi bar, the sushi chefs might give you some free sushi like they did for me! :)

    Dear Empire-you were delicious but get real chopsticks! Also, any single serving fried rice dish could easily feed 4 people-be warned.

    If you like a bit of heat to your cocktail, One Night in Bangkok comes highly recommended! Bring on the Sriracha!

    Salt and pepper calamari is the star of the show. I'd consider getting it as an entree.

    Drinks were good, food was ok, not a bad time, except for that our server never smiled or seemed like she was happy to help, which made it a little uncomfortable, until we had enough alcohol

    Be aware about the dress code, folks. No flip flops, sleeveless t-shirt and hats for the guys. Girls, avoid the athletic wear!

    Their sushi is terrible; very Americanized. I would say people go there for the club atmosphere and to be seen. Certainly not because they want to eat quality food. Clientele is rude. Too loud & dark.

    After all the hype, was very disappointed. It took a half hour to bring our bottle of wine. Service terrible and food was only decent. Fun bar scene though
