I decided to try this place because it seemed to always have a lively vibe.

Food I've tried:

  • Salty salty salty. Everything I had was salty.
  • WINGS (MAGIC TERIYAKI) ($10): the chicken itself was nicely fried, and had a crisp texture. It came covered in teriyaki sauce that made it extremely salty.
  • CHIRASHI ($22): it came with shrimp, tuna, salmon, yellowtail over rice. The sushi itself was decently fresh, but again the rice was very salty.

Atmosphere:

  • I visited during COVID times, so I ate outdoors. I thought the seating was a bit closer than for comfort especially this was during mid COVID.
  • While it was empty when I visited, I have seen this place with a lot of people when passing by so I imagine a reservation would be a good idea during peak hours.

Service:

  • The staff was friendly, service speed was average.

Overall:

  • The price for the food is pretty standard ($~35 per person, with entree + app), considering it's sushi and it is in Central Square. Considering the sodium levels though ... I would probably not return.
