    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.

    Sushi is very good although inconsistently. However the service is terrible and no matter how good the sushi can be it's just not worth it.

    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!

The layout of the restaurant is similar to the Brookline location, with the private booths on the right and special booths on the left, main seating area in the middle, and the bar seating towards the back. Only difference is the Brookline location has those cool matcha whisk structures, while this location has cool honeycomb structures. I would've loved to experience sitting in one of those. I always like to eat spicy so of course I got the Kyushu Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. As always, broth is so flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. The ramen texture is my favorite, good amount of softness and waviness. The boiled egg is marinated just right, not too salty or sweet. The chashu pork is tender. I wanted to try their version of the spicy cucumbers. It's REALLY spicy. But also very good. The flavor reminds me of the Chinese chili oil sweet potato noodles, very spicy, kind of salty, and a strong taste of vinegar. I love snacking on it. The takoyaki is the best of course, perfectly soft and tender, with thin bonito shavings and great sauce. The fries are essentially seasoned the same way. Salted fries with the takoyaki sauces and bonito. The combo works very well together. Thai tea was good and service was great. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll stop by for another bowl.

    Yum!! We went back to Kyuramen, very hungry and eager to try a variety of menu items. We thought…read moreabout trying one of the combo options, but I ended up ordering the curry ramen, and upgrading it for $7 to include a Thai tea and bao bun. The bun was delicious, with tender pork and a flavorful sauce and I loved having the Thai tea to sip on. We also ordered the cucumber salad to share and it was nice and fresh and spicy. My curry ramen was delicious and hearty. My partner ordered the #2 and I really liked the pork in his bowl, I preferred it over the tonkatsu in mine. We ended our meal with matcha tiramisu and during the current promotion, we won an order of popcorn chicken to redeem on our next visit. The restaurant is cozy and they make use of the small space with their honeycomb wall. There are lots of employees working, so service is quick and we were able to call our sever to the table with a button when we wanted to order and pay.

For about $25 you can pick from common rolls and sushi, like bbq eel, tuna, salmon and more. It's a pretty sizeable menu and you can do rolls or hand wraps even. There are some hot kitchen items too like gyoza, miso soup, chicken teriyaki and much more. If you upgrade to the deluxe menu, it's about $35. You're able to include some more items but I think a few you only could do 1 round for. Overall I didn't see the benefit of the deluxe for this night, as the basic menu had everything. Also knowing the quality would just be OK, I didn't bother upgrading. It's small inside and the outside looks pretty beat up. There is parking though. Service was solid. The food comes out fast. The menu says they will charge $1 for any left over pieces but I saw another table get the check while eating and didn't end up finishing a few. I guess it's more of a deterrent. That's fair. I honestly would go back. If you're a big eater and want to get a good deal on sushi, this spot is solid.
