    Nigiri Dinner Platter! (Total of 16 pieces)
    Ava W.

    Really overpriced for the small portions! Friends and I were craving sushi and we lived around the area so we thought we'd pop in and try this place out. However, when we ordered we though a platter worth $25 would fill us up, that was not the case. The platter, though was very pretty, came with 16 pieces, coming down to almost $2 a piece! (the pieces were also very small!) We ended up ordering some more sushi but we were all still just as hungry as we were when we walked in AND we had paid much more than we anticipated. Definitely a place to try if you're into fancy cuisine but if you're trying to find a sushi place that's affordable and wont leave you hungry this is NOT the place.

    We stopped in on a Sunday evening and were seated right away. Place was clean and nice atmosphere. Tasty sushi. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. Service was great.

    Great sushi restaurant. The sake flights are fun. Great sushi, and lots of veggie rolls and appetizers/salads, if you're a veggie person.

We did the omakase, which is best to make reservations so he can prepare. The omakase is served one piece at a time with time slots of 1:30.330 and 830. It's $110 per person and it's 15 courses. Our favorites were the Spanish mackerel, and the giant eye red snapper. Everything else was really good, but those two stood out as our favorites. You can also order the omakase à la carte, but best to give it some time to prepare because each piece is intricate. We look forward to trying if everything on the menu!

It was better after a few minutes. Overall, it would come back if it was closer. The pricing was reasonable for the quality of sushi that you get. Service was decent.

    Food (1.5/2): Unfortunately, since this was quite a while…read moreago, I had forgotten what I've ordered. One that I remember is the Wafu Steak. What I can remember is that all the food had great visual appeal. Additionally, the flavors from the main ingredient, sauce, and condiments were artfully balanced. I felt that none of the ingredients in the dishes I ordered were decorative. My only minor disappointment is the small portion (though I get that US portions are typically giant...). Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): Great service even if there was only 1-2 waiters. Wait-time is decent. Cleanliness is impeccable. One minor negative is the positioning of some of the table that sees the fan above them--the fan sits just below the light bulb and creates a "strobe-light" effect at night. This was incredibly disturbing for me and I had to face diagonally downwards most of the time to avoid the flickering at the top-corner of my eyes. Price (0.5/1): As much as I love what they've created, I just feel the price for the portion we receive is on the expensive side. Rounded to 4 because I love the place.

There generally is a wait but I wouldn't let that deter you as it is worth the wait. The sushi is always freshly prepared, they have some unique side dishes and sushi/maki offerings too. Ordered pick up on a Saturday. I called 10 mins after they opened and they informed me it was an hours wait. I was a bit surprised by wait time but food was ready exactly when they said it woul be. When I got there place was packed with a few groups waiting for tables. Ordered the crunchy maki, tempura maki and softshell crab maki - everything was delicious as expected. Highly recommend!

    It's Christmas Day and we were tasked with bringing Sushi to the family gathering at 5pm. Our usual…read morego-to spot, Super Fusion in Watertown, was on a "break" and reopening at 5pm. This prompted us to look for alternatives...Fins in Waltham was open and taking orders and allowed us to get the Sushi on time. We tried it. We ordered the large boat raw and maki raw. $160 worth of sushi. The order was prepared quickly for pick up. There is a bunch of off street parking. The restaurant has about 8 various sized tables in side and a bar that seats probably another 6 or 7. The place looks clean and modern. The lone worker was pleasant and friendly. The order was correct and packaged well. Compared to Super Fusion in Watertown: 1. We usually order the party platter from Super Fusion as well, but it does cost like $20-$30 more at Super Fusion. However, they do give you more sushi...but no miso soup included anymore. 2. The family agrees that Super Fusion tastes better. I also noticed the sashimi was larger from Super Fusion. 3. One family member spat out a small piece of bone in their sushi from Fin's. This never happened at the other place, and we've gone to them for many years. 4. Fin's is more generous with providing enough wasabi and soy sauce when we asked for extra. 5. Fin's looks a lot more modern and fancy...they are in fact a newer establishment in the area. The free off street parking matters as well, as you only get street meters for Super Fusion. While we're glad to give a new place a try, and the sushi is not bad, we think Super Fusion is better. My kid and her friends frequently go to Fin's due to convenience and thats perfectly fine. I hope they stay around for a long time, as having options and competition is good. I'm thankful they were open and taking orders on Christmas Day, and I was served with a smile. Thank you!
