This is the most price efficient, mid tier sushi restaurant. Now, I am a lover of sushi but I am not a sushi connoisseur. I have had my taste of fresh seafood and can definitely tell the difference. I personally think that unless you go to a really high end omakaze place in Boston, most of the sushi quality you will eat is pretty much the same. Even more so if you eat it in a roll form, and the pure sushi flavors is masked by the rice, sauce, and other veggies. Is this a place to take a fancy date? No. But if you are looking for a truly no frill, standard Thursday night I don't want to cook and I am really craving sushi moment, this is the place for you.
Food I've tried:
- SPICY SCALLOP AVOCADO ($6 - 8 pieces): I mean look at that price! At any other place with fancier decoration it'll probably be $10+ dollars. Maybe even in the $15 range if they sprinkle some tempura flakes on top with cucumber slices. Flavor is exactly what you expect, and the rice is not overly salty. Scallop freshness is reasonable, and on par with other standardly priced sushi spots in the area.
- EEL AVOCADO CUCUMBER ($5 - 8 pieces): Refer to my previous point about the great price! Flavors are again, what you expect. Eel quality is reasonable.
- Presentation of the food definitely feels homey, even the plate is something that I would own at home. But I thought it just added more to the charm of the place.
Atmosphere:
- Definitely a hole in the wall vibe.
Service:
- Friendly staff, got our food relatively quick.
Overall:
- PRO: so much value.
- CON: yes not the fanciest, but we still appreciate these finds.
