    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. 😊🍣

    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 :(

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
