“ Really nice ambiance and great food! Very fun decor! Service is good. Both the Thai and Japanese food here is delicious! ”
“ This place is fantastic! Sushi was reasonably priced and very fresh. I recommend coming here with family and friends. There's something for every one. Our server was amazing and food came out very fast. ”
“ Some of the best food I've had in awhile. The only crappy part was the parking situation but that's Boston for ya lol. The service was on point and drinks were filled fast and food came out at a great pace. Inside this restaurant was colorful paintings and decor from Japan . I really enjoyed it.. now let's talk about the food: Fatty Tuna Don: Don't you love when your tuna just melts in your mouth..??? Well let me tell ya this one sure does and well worth it. Huge slices on toro which is the fatty part of the tuna and it's amazing. If you're into it, then be sure to order it. Bluefin tuna Don: This tuna was amazing.. so soft and was really good. Salmon Tower: I enjoyed this appetizer due to the avocado and seaweed salad meshing with the salmon. It was really tasty. Maguro Omakase Set B: This bad boy was the highlight of the night. Comes with 10 pieces of sashimi of otoro which is the fatty tuna that melts in your mouth, akami, 10 pieces of sushi with otoro, 5 pieces of sushi akami, negitoro roll, aburi toro roll and maguro roll. This place rocks and we will definitely be back again. Everything was on point!!! ”
“ I came here for lunch on a weekday with friends and we were seated right away since it wasn't busy. It does have plenty of seating too! I love how they have such a big menu with so many options to choose from! We got the torched beef tongue, ika karaage (fried squid), torched salmon toro, aburi toro roll, maguro roll, and the lobster fried rice. Everything was so good especially their sushi!! I always love their sushi options and it's also fresh! Their fried squid was so crispy and the beef tongue was tender and flavorful! Their lobster fried rice came with more lobster pieces than I thought it would! But it was lacking some flavor though. They also offer a lunch special combo too! I would definitely come back here to try their other items! ”
“ This place serves both Japanese and Thai food so you get the best of both worlds. We got the Maguro roll which I highly recommend!! The donburi bowls were hefty - Maguro bowl was flavorful and delicious, and the Hokkaido bowl was alright where I didn't think the quality of the sashimi was that great, their uni was rough and left a bitter after taste which was not pleasant. Overall, I enjoyed my time there, the interior had Japanese decorations and the staff were friendly and service was moderate. Food: 8/10 Value: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Experience: 8/10 ”
“ First time in for me today. We tried to stop in another day but they were closed for vacation last time. Glad we got to catch them open this time around! First their menu is definitely got a lot going on. Sushi ramen Thai, kind of overwhelming at first. Pricing is on the higher side for rolls and dishes imo. The chicken skins. : fried well, crispy, but fried unseasoned. Asked server for some dipping sauce and salt and it was good; server quickly got me something for it. Probably wouldn't start with that again next time. The Hokkaido don was what the lady ordered she said it was fresh and yummy comparable to Tora's bowls. They ran out of sea urchin and let us sub it out for otoro. That was cool of them. I got the spicy basil with crispy chicken. Flavor was good! As i was expecting for the dish. The portion of chicken was a whole cutlet cut up into strips, a lot of onions, peppers and basil leaves. Rice doesn't come with the dish so added a side of white rice. I would note, the sauce was super watery, I'm used to having a bit thicker of a sauce for this type of dish but again, flavor was good! The Thai ice tea came in a nice glass, definitely on the creamy side flavor wise, a bit watered down but enjoyable nonetheless! Probably will be back to try some other dishes. The space is open, plenty of seating! ”
