    My birthday was on a Saturday this year and so my husband and I came here a little before the peak dinner rush. We wrote our names down and were told it would be a 30min wait, so I set a 20min timer and crossed the street to get a drink at the Independent in the meantime. Kid you not, as we got our drink at the bar we got the call that the table was ready. This was all within 10mins of setting my timer. It took a while for someone to attend to us while we were seated but as soon as I started looking around for a server quickly took notice and came right over came to take our order. She was nice. We order some of our usuals - tiger roll, boston roll, eel roll and squid roll,- and a few new items - Everything was so fresh and yummy. It was a good dining experience. They'll be moving across the street soon and I'm glad I got to experience the ambience of the restaurant post renovations and pre-relocating

    i have been here multiple times, and it is my favorite sushi in the area. I love their nigiri, and we tried a soba dish this most recent time that was really yummy. We sat at the bar and it was fun to watch them make everything. Our server was helpful and attentive. Has a chill, late-night ambiance that is enjoyable and just right!

    Torched salmon belly

    Celebratory lunch date. Was packed on a weekday because it was a public holiday and we waited a long time for the staff to clear a table for us. They were very busy. Service was slow that day. The food was great at usual. Melt in the mouth torched salmon belly and the tasty salmon ninniku. We also enjoyed the Smoky lemon hamachi and the scallop nigiri - both the truffle and the honey pecorino. Ordering off the nigiri menu is always a treat!

    Solid sushi place, the quality of nigiri is good quality and overall a great value. I got the 20 piece combo with 14 piece nigiri. It came with miso soup that was absolutely delicious. I tried the tiger roll which has shrimp tempura and has a spicy crab mix on top that is torched. My favorite was the yellowtail nigiri that I normally don't get. Torched salmon belly was good but it would have been better if it was warm. Overall good service and good food. The asthetics are cute too! They have a parking lot next to the restaurant which you have to pay for.

    Agedashi Tofu
    Erin O.

    My partner and I had a lovely dinner at Ebi Sushi! The ambiance here is great and it's conveniently located as well. The staff were also very accommodating and friendly. We started things off with the agedashi tofu, which honestly turned out to be my favorite thing we ordered. The broth and fried tofu skin truly is unbeatable. We then ordered two rolls (one spicy maki and another basic salmon roll) as well as some sashimi. It was a bit pricey but the portions felt pretty fair to me. The flavors and freshness of the fish were great and everything really complemented each other well. We ended our meal with a butter cake (and some vanilla ice cream) which was very tasty and the perfect sweet treat. I'd definitely love to come back or even order takeout from here again.

    Parking is paid to park, restaurant has a nice groovy vibe to it. Good for group/double date or even kids. However the wait is terrible long even when it's not during rush hour or crowded. The food is okay, not standout, just standard. Has a bar section with lot of drinks option for you to try

    Miso Soup
    Elizabeth Y.

    So delicious! They have a lot of combo options available, but we chose to build this plate instead with individual orders of sushi (as well as a roll ofc). I appreciated the flexibility of ordering this way, especially if there are any dietary restrictions or preferences to work with! The miso soup was a comforting addition. I would definitely come here again

    Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any sushi joint in Boston. For someone who was born and raised in TX where we did not have good access to fresh seafood.. Boston was crazy good. Came here without a reservation for a small snack and drinks.. however ended up ordering more because it was THAT good. NOTHING smelled fishy. everything was super fresh. I believe the restaurant had a sign stating they are moving to a new location so hopefully its a bigger space because it was a little tight here. I did see they also do catering. Did not order it myself but saw someone take huge trays of beautifully made rolls.

    First time here, noticed they are moving to new location soon. Parking was a bit tough when we went but we parked on the side that was city parking during certain times in that particular lot and walked around the corner. We had a short wait and was seated and greeted quickly. Everything we ordered was tasty. So we chose a sushi combo, which means you get X number of pieces for your choice. For example, if you get a 12 pc combo, you'd choose 6 pieces of nigiri let's say, and 1 sushi roll (6-8pc dependent on the roll). The server had to explain it to us haha because we initially just chose all nigiri. We also grabbed the agedashi tofu (so umami and yummy!) big pieces of tofu too! Always have to get the fried chicken (their karage) it was good overall but a bit thin so it was on the dryer side for us, but tasty and a nice chew. The hokkaiyaki was superb! Scallop shell appetizer, nice flavor profile, lots of scallop bits in there with imitation crab meat and spicy mayo. etc. Miso soup had plenty of flavor, tofu, and seaweed! They didn't skimp on the miso flavor base. The fish was fresh, had clean chew and my favorite is usually always the tuna belly. I enjoyed our torched salmon roll as well, but it definitely is very filling. Great experience, will be back to check out new location!

    Absolutely loveeeee this place. Cocktails are well crafted. Sushi rolls and omakase are absolutely fresh and savory. If you are a true fish/sushi lover. This is the place to go. My kids are so picky when it comes to sushi and coming here, I know they will always leave full! I absolutely am all about supporting local and this restaurant is owned by a couple that walked their way up the industry. This place is absolutely cozy but I honestly hesitate bringing my girls as it's cozy but maybe too cozy that I worry my kids are too close to the table next to us who may be enjoying a quiet date. But because the sushi is so good here we try to come for lunch!! I hear they are moving across the street to a larger space and extending a ramen place next to it. I'm excited!!!

    Ebi Sushi has been a favorite of mine for years as they've been around for many years. Happy to see they're still growing strong all the while serving an extensive menu of sushi & other favorites in informal environs. It had been a while since my last visit & to my amazement they had done some renovations and I must say I love the new look and ambience. Pair that with great service and their usual exquisite menu & it's all a big win. We came, we smiled, we ate some delicious sushi Pork Buns 8-hour Pork Belly w/sweet sauce scallions, lettuce & mayo. Absolutely love Bao Buns and the pork just melts in your mouth like butter. A perfect appetizer to kick things off Volcano Roll Spicy Tuna roll with fried Sriracha A very nice & lite spicy kick to this roll. Absolutely loved it House Roll Shrimp Tempura, masago & cucumber with avocado, spicy mayo & sweet sauce on top This specialty roll was one of the best shrimp rolls I've ever had Ali Unagi - Nigiri Eel is my absolute favorite. Had to order just two of these rolls. Fresh water eel, white truffle oil, rosemary salt. Butter Cake with Ice Cream A nice airy dessert to conclude our evening.

    10 piece Omakase
    Eric H.

    I used to work in the area and would come here for lunch sometimes. Once I also came for dinner. I also tried ordering takeout from them before. They are small. They do get busy. Because they get busy, they also deem it ok to refuse omakase nigiri orders. It's weird. Honestly, they should list their policy on their menu--not during lunch, and only early during dinner--a limited time slot. Or take it off the menu. Because if you order too late, it'll get too busy for them, and it'll interrupt their flow. For some reason. The only reason I come here is for some nigiri. I order only their 10 piece omakase. And maybe an appetizer. The only one I've had was their ankimono (monkfish liver). However, it seems whenever they are jam packed, they refuse to serve omakase, since in their own words, it "takes them too much time to prepare" when they are slammed. It's a shame. This means if you want their 10 piece variety pack, you have to come during lunch (as it's generally less busy than dinner), and come super early during dinner. Maybe. I did get lucky before though. I did order the 10 piece omakase during lunch, perhaps before they caught on. And I did order their 10 piece omakase during an early dinner hour. But for takeout? Around 6 pm? Nah, they definitely won't do that for you, whether you dine in or take out. Food wise, I have no complaints, except when they copped out on the omakase lunch request, and then later on when they started to deny omakase orders. As for the interior, I like the mural adorning the wall. The wooden tables and seating are neat. It's cozy. There's also a Dunkin' Donuts next door.

    Miso Salmon Roll, Volcano Roll, Blizzard Roll, Sweet Potato Roll
    Amy L.

    I was very curious about Ebi Sushi since it was recommended to me multiple times but tried to temper my expectations going in. From the very beginning once we walked in, the service was top notch and super friendly. We ordered 4 rolls: miso salmon, volcano, blizzard, and sweet tempura and were wow'd by nearly all of them! The blizzard roll and sweet tempura were my personal favorites followed by the volcano roll and then the miso salmon. Others in my party liked the blizzard and volcano roll the most. We walked away with bellies full, absolutely stuffed and extremely satisfied with a delicious meal and great service.

I still fully recommend this place for the taste and quality, but the amount you get for the price is pure heartache. Can't comment on the ambiance cuz I always UberEats this, but for the service, it's always very quick and exactly how we order it.

    My friend and I came here one weekday evening for dinner and were able to be seated right away…read moredespite not having a reservation and also the overall size of the restaurant being relatively small. We were quite lucky as I noticed more people standing by the wall waiting around as the night went on. Few things make me as happy as seeing a gluten-free sushi menu, so I'm super grateful that this restaurant is able to accommodate my allergy! Our server was very welcoming and patiently went through all the different rolls that could be made gluten-free and brought out tamari sauce without me even needing to request it. My friend had been here several times before and told me that she's really enjoyed Sakana's specialty rolls, especially the ones with truffle oil. I'm not the biggest fan of truffle oil, but I also thought all of their specialty rolls looked really enticing. It was a bit of a bummer that the ones that I wanted to try the most couldn't be made into a gluten-free version... I ended up going with a roll that had tuna on the inside and scallop on the outside, as well as an extra Philadelphia roll. The specialty rolls are about ~$18 or so and the more regular rolls (that come with 6 pieces instead of 8) are about $8. As other people have noted before, the portion sizes were a bit smaller than I expected, especially for the specialty rolls. However, other than that, we had a wonderful dining experience. Our food was brought out super quickly and they continuously checked on us throughout the evening. Overall, I can see why this place gets quite busy around Harvard Square, definitely a solid local option if you're in the mood for sushi!

It comes with 2 bowls of miso soup, which were perfect on a cold winter night. The boat also includes a martini glass with seaweed salad, providing a refreshing, upscale palate cleanser when you need a moment's break from the fish. I was very impressed with the thick cuts for the sashimi, and the toppings on the nigiri also gave a tiny twist to the meal - while yuzu and jalapaeño are common pairings with raw fish, for example, the strawberry-on-salmon was a novel combo for me! The rolls also add appeal for any eating partners who enjoy their fish in another form. There isn't a lot of natural light/windows in the main seating area, so the lighting is dim and gives off an intimate ambiance that's perfect for a date night - no complaints about the service!

It's the perfect spot for a date night or grabbing drinks and dinner with friends. For appetizers, I highly recommend getting the 3 sampler of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail dumpling to try them all. While called dumpling, it's more like a delicious fish rice ball with special sauce. The house special udon with shrimp, scallop, and fish cake was also really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken hibachi! It's good for being hungry because it comes with soup, veggies, rice, and some shrimp. It comes with yum yum sauce which goes well with everything and a sauce for the vegetables. The service was good, we did ask our questions about appetizers and she gave good recommendations. We didn't wait too long for the food. The ambiance here is great! They have Japanese decor on all the walls including paintings of cherry blossom, koi fish, Mt. Fuji, and even flowers on the roof. Overall, the food here is really good and this is a staple restaurant that I'll keep coming back to!

    Very cute little place between Harvard Square and Central Square but would definitely recommend…read moremaking a reservation as it's relatively small (probably on the harder side for larger parties of 6+). My wife (vegetarian) and I came on a Wednesday night and we were able to be seated 15min early ahead of our 615pm reservation. The service was amazing, our server Ivy was very knowledgeable about both the sake and food menus. We started with the edamame w curry salt (an interesting and fun spin), cabbage (my wife LOVED it), and the maiitake tempura. Alright, I love mushrooms y'all and this dish was fried perfectly and didn't leave a greasy aftertaste, but there was a lot of batter so it mostly tasted of batter and the mushroom itself was in the passenger seat. Also the yuzu aioli was fine but i would've preferred a traditional tempura dipping sauce. For our mains my wife got the seared avocado sushi (her favorite of the night), tomato zuke sushi (it came out and I legitimately thought it was akami tuna but it blew my mind that it was a cured tomato), and the veggie maki roll of the week (also delicious). Vegetarians you are seen here and there are many options! I got the shrimply the best maki - I mostly got it for the name and was expecting a big shrimp flavor but looking at a cross section of the roll, the shrimp itself was rather small and was a little let down Toro maki - treated myself to some fatty Toro but I feel like there was too much pickled veggie which helped cut the overall fattiness of the tuna but became the main flavor Otoro sushi - my favorite dish of the night by far! An expensive two bites but the flavor of the fatty tuna with a speck of wasabi and the flavorful sushi rice (no soy sauce) . Next time I come back I will probably just splurge on multiple of these or try the hand rolls Expensive but delicious sushi with excellent service, will definitely be coming back!

    Grabbed a table here for dinner one night and had a lovely experience. This place does get crowded…read moreso I would recommend reservations. Luckily the restaurant is split for a dine in and takeout area making it easier to wait for a table if needed. We ordered several items from the menu and found all had an air of freshness to them. I especially like the chicken karaage which came with a spicy mayo sauce. The chicken was fried well giving it nice crisp without feeling heavy on the oil. The dipping sauce was also a nice added touch complementing the flavors of the chicken. For rolls I ordered the tomato zuke, seared avocado, shiitake, and tuna taku. Interestingly, the tomato was my favorite. What an innovative way to use tomato that felt flavorful and mimicked the texture of a tuna based roll. I also liked how the avocado was seared with some sea salt - it gave it a nice balance of roasted and salty with just a little rice. For the shiitake, I enjoyed how the mushrooms were prepared the most and would have likely been more ok to eat those on their own rather than in a sushi roll. While I was the most excited about the tuna take, it felt a little more basic to me after having the more innovative vegetarian sushi first. The combo of crunchy and soft from the roll was a bit confusing. The takuan felt more minced and so you'd have a soft bite of the tuna mixed with more crunchy bits of the takuan, but since it didnt seem balanced it felt off from a texture perspective. However, this is also a personal preference and the ingredients individually were all super fresh. Our server was also super friendly and very on top of our ask to let us know which items had shellfish. She consistently checked in with us and on the kitchen to ensure there weren't any issues with my food allergy. I very much enjoyed coming here and would definitely come again. While it was busy, the food still came out quickly and it was still quiet enough that you could have a conversation with your table. In general this place makes a great date spot or place to come with friends.
