    Spicy Naruto (No Rice) and Salmon Lover
    Casey A.

    I had a sushi craving and just wanted something quick/not a million dollars. That's exactly what this is. Is it the best sushi in Boston? No of course not. But it's affordable and does the job. The delivery also came really fast. Everything was as expected. I don't love when spicy salmon rolls have the tempura in it but it was fine, not too mushy. The one thing I found off was the spicy mayo was a little sweet.

    The food is absolutely delicious. Fast service. The workers are very nice people. Very enjoyable experience. Would come again.

    Is it the best sushi you'll ever have? No. But can you get a PLATTER of sushi for a reasonable price and love every second of eating it? Absolutely. I live pretty close by, so this is my go to for when I have friends over and we're looking for a dinner to go with a movie. It's reasonably priced, but pretty standard middle-of-the-road sushi. The inside of the restaurant is relatively small, and the staff is pretty aloof (usually there isn't anyone at the front), so it's not the most amazing dining experience. But hey, you get what you pay for and I can't complain. If it weren't so close, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to go to this spot, but it's consistent and reliable. If you're in the area, it's a solid choice. But don't make it a destination. It delivers well, so definitely a good option if you're looking for a night in.

    The food here is really good and quite cheap. The waiters are really nice. The location is perfect and there's not a lot of noise despite the restaurant being in downtown Boston.

    BBQ eel (Poke Bowl) - $13.95 as of 11/20

    Not a bad place and very comparable to Avana Sushi 1 (in Chinatown). Parking (like Chinatown) is difficult so it's best to do pick up or to eat in (after COVID anyways). Items ordered (prices as of 11/20) - Eel Avocado Cucumber - $5.95 : Not bad but nothing I haven't had before. - Torch Salmon (Chef's Special Maki) - $13.95: Actually surprisingly good. It's a warm (cooked) roll and the flavors mesh together pretty well. - BBQ eel (Poke Bowl) - $13.95: For the price I'd say this was acceptable. Eel was tasty and cooked well and the sauce was good. Unfortunately I wish there was more Eel as the mounds of rice it sat upon made it so that I had to portion the eel out properly so I didn't end up with a bowl full of rice and vegetables. - Salmon, Tuna & Yellowtail (Poke Bowl) - $15.95: Overall this was probably the least impactful of the previous items we ordered. There was a lot more rice compared to the fish and the fish itself wasn't really flavorful which kind of defeated the purpose of getting the bowl. In the end the quality is comparable to the original Avana Sushi. I would probably stick to the sushi as you can find better pokebowls at restaurants that specialize in them. If you live closer to this location definitely giving it a recommendation!

    I tried both Avana's Avocado Salad $4.95 and Kani Salad $5.95 to go and found them both fresh and refreshing, but that the Kani salad was inaccurately portrayed on some online ordering options, including the one found on Avana Sushi 2's own website. The Kani salad is described as Crabstick, cucumber, avocado, mango in a dressing. There was no avocado for sure, and probably no cucumber. The mango was sparse. It was mainly dressed shredded kani on a bed of lettuce.

    TAKEOUT/DELIVERY REVIEW I've known about Avana since I moved to Boston 7 years ago, but really only explored it during the pandemic to satisfy my sushi cravings. We now order from them at least once a month. I honestly think Avana has the best rolls I've ever had, with a perfect ratio of rice to fish to sauce. They also do something interesting where some of the rolls have mango in it, which definitely was weird to me in the beginning, but is actually very refreshing. Prices for rolls are also pretty cheap in Boston considering the amount of fish that is in each piece, around $11-$13 for a special roll. Their sushi holds up really well with delivery and is always perfectly secured in the container so it's like its fresh from the sushi bar when I get it at home. The four rolls my partner and I always get now are Winter Maki, Super Man Maki, Black Pearl Maki, and Torch Salmon Maki.

    Sadly I had to deduct this place by two stars I came here at 2:45pm and I wanted the lunch special. I asked to be seated and the waiter was very much rude and she stood around and I was ready to order. Then I asked her if it's too late to order the lunch special and she said yes. I'm more upset because this is not even rush hour anymore and ther is nobody here. I'm surprised at the unfriendly customer service and that's a major turn off when you're a customer. Yes the food is great but you need to also be able to treat people with respect. I sure will be fining a new quick lunch spot.

    Take out sushi that I ordered online and arrived on time to pick up. Ready to go when I got there, it was packed nicely and had all the appropriate side items including soy sauce packets, one pair of chopsticks for each maki roll and plenty of napkins. The sushi was assembled nicely and presented well. It held together, had plenty of flavor and looked great. Fresh tasting, too. I will definitely be ordering from Avana Sushi 2 again.

    After walking around the downtown crossing area, I wanted a quick place to eat lunch. Avana Sushi has lunch specials every day from 11 am - 3 pm, so it was the perfect place to stop. The restaurant is small inside, and there wasn't anyone there when I first arrived, which was a bit concerning. However, while I was waiting and eating, many people dropped in to order items to go and pick up orders, so it seems like a popular spot for locals. I ordered the lunch special with 3 rolls (the eel avo cucumber, the salmon mango avo, and the spicy tuna avo) and miso soup. To be honest, it was a bit too much food, and I would have been fine with just two. All the rolls were prepared super quickly and were delicious.

Now let's talk food -- because Zaku lets you choose your own experience. If you want to keep it simple, grab some sushi. If you want to take it up a notch, go for sushi and combo plates. If you're in the mood for something hearty, the entrée options deliver. They also offer wine, beer, and other spirits, so you really get to decide how you want to take flight. We ordered a variety: orange chicken with rice, a combo platter filled with everything from edamame to octopus, and I enjoyed shrimp tempura maki with bibimbap (they kindly removed the beef for me), plus miso soup and a Sprite. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The space is cozy yet lively, giving you room to relax and enjoy your meal. The menu is robust -- so many choices my guests had trouble deciding! Zaku gave great food, great service, and a great experience. I'll absolutely be back.

    Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!
