The sushi was sloppy not appetizing. I ordered 2 orders of uni with quail egg. Each uni should have had quail egg. All I saw was white egg (see pics) on 2 pieces and none on the other two. On top of that no yolks which looked like gross. The nigiris chutoro Saba didn't look fresh. The only fresh one is hamachi sashimi. Agedashi was horrible. I can tell this is not Japanese owned. The soy sauce is Chinese brand and there were no chopsticks and napkins. Horrible experienc

We visited a little after lunch and they had plenty of seats available. Service was great - friendly staff, attentive as well. The menu was quite big and I honestly wasn't able to go through all of the items. There was also a very strong cleaning chemical scent where we sat but I'm sure this doesn't happen often. The sushi was okay, it had too much rice in my opinion. The Chirashi bowl was good, especially with the uni on top. Overall, it's a decent spot but I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to visit this place again. It's not bad but nothing really stood out in my opinion.

Maki Lunch Combo
Erin S.

Their lunch special is an insane deal. Miso soup, a small salad, edamame, a spring roll, and 3 maki rolls for $19!!! The food was so delicious, I added on a seaweed salad on and it was so much food! It was fresh delicious and the staff was so kind.

Shrimp and chicken fried rice
Annilyn T.

Food is pretty good. They have been around for a while now and the business is still up. Services is pretty reasonable it depends on what time of the day you come. It's not very spacious inside and it can get crowded but I think it's not too bad since some people just do pick up and the also have a sushi booth you can sit instead of the table

Fins Sushi and Grill is my go-to place to order food for lunch from, in the Beacon Hill area! To be honest, I almost never bring lunch to work & I definitely come here a lil more often than I'd like to admit haha. At one point, I ordered from here every day. Fins has an AMAZING deal for lunch specials. I know a lot of people love to get their bento boxes, but I LOVE to get their pick 3 maki lunch special the most! The three maki rolls I usually go with are the Philly maki, salmon avocado, and the tuna avocado. Like the bento boxes, it also comes with miso soup and a salad! The salmon teriyaki bento box is very good, as well, and I order this every so often. Some dishes I really enjoy/order often: Lunch special items: -pick any 3 maki rolls sushi lunch combo; comes w/ miso soup + salad -salmon teriyaki bento box; comes w/ miso soup + salad Regular menu: -chirashi don -spicy kimchi seafood ramen -Hawaii maki -double match maki -crunchy roll -hanabi roll -fins volcano -torched toro maki -sushi pizza Overall, you cannot go wrong with anything from Fins! When I order take out, I like to order off their website and you can schedule the time of when you want to pick up your order! They are quick and always have the order ready by the expected time. Highly recommend if you are in the area! Parking: Can be tricky to find parking. Sometimes you can luck out with a spot by Blank Street or if not, can try looking for spots on Blossom St. Also, walking distance to MBTA Red line Charles/MGH.

"Sushi to die for", overheard while dining and I must agree. What a treasure of tastes profiles and the FRESHest of fish. Every morsel a delight! Perhaps it was the perfect of nights, light rain, modest early dining crowd, whatever the reason the experience was truly special. Chewy, yummy rice, exploding roe, sweet crunchy ginger and the most attentive team of waiter and Sushi Chef professionals. I am Thankful for the many foodie giifts @Fins Sushi and Grill in Boston.

Food, service, ambiance, and price were all amazing. 10/10. best sushi in boston! Nam was our server and she was great. definitely recommend the tuna tataki and yellowtail serrano. will definitely be back!

Chicken katsu bento box
Dan L.

We love this place, and eat here at least once a week. There are a couple of dishes I'm not a huge fan of, but while we were disappointed a couple of times the dishes we get are reliably great. So what do we eat when we come? Chicken katsu! It's awesome - always, ALWAYS fresh. I love the curry even though I find it a bit too spicy (which is why my family doesn't eat it, but more for me). Sushi varieties never disappoint! Philadelphia roll (I request without cucumber and with avocado) is delicious. Chashu ramen or udon is delicious, and when we have gotten it for pickup it's also packed well. Lunch specials are a great deal (and include the katsu we love) with free refills on salad, rice, miso, and tea. Oh, and they have a frequent customer thing (not unique I know but still nice when I remember to use it). All in all, highly recommend it. And we will continue coming here at least once a week. :)

Unagi Bento Tuna Bento

Really great lunch deals for bento boxes. Portions are large, service is quick, and everyone is very friendly. Also extremely accessible for a quick lunch across the street. Would highly recommend!

Sushi Deluxe (16 Pcs)

Had a fantastic experience here! The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh and high. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Great ambiance too--relaxed but refined. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sushi in Beacon Hill. The Beacon Hill Don Buri was amazing and had some of my favorites with Ikura and Salmon.

Curry Chicken Katsu Bento Lunch

Went for a bento box at lunch time. Got the katsu curry box. So fresh and so much food, a filling but healthy lunch! Would recommend for a decent lunch that won't break the bank and keep you full until dinner!

I was recommended this place by one of my friends, and I really loved it! Definitely appreciated…read morethe wide variety of the menu as well as the kindness of the staff, especially the hostess! I'm not sure how many there are, but she was Asian with long black hair. Unfortunately, I was having a pretty bad day before heading over, so my attitude was not what it should have been. To my surprise, the hostess didn't retaliate or display any bad attitude toward me, which in turn motivated me to be kinder :) It definitely costs nothing to be kind, and I was definitely grateful that she provided such impeccable service! Great casual spot; prices are fairly reasonable. I'd definitely recommend!

My friend and I ended up here spontaneously while we were both running errands on Newbury St. I was…read morein the mood for something Asian, we decided on sushi, and we vaguely remembered that one of our colleagues, who is from Japan, had said something about this place. That sealed the deal for Sakabayashi. I have to admit, though: we both got a little sticker shock when we opened the menu. The menu was extensive and everything sounded good, but it took us a while to figure out what we actually wanted to spend. At one point I told my friend, "If you want to leave, it's okay. I won't mind. We can just go." He said, "I'm fine if you're fine." I said, "I'm fine if you're fine." And then we basically just stared at each other and continued struggling with the menu. Eventually, we accepted that dinner was going to be more than $30 and shared the chicken karaage ($10), then each ordered the chef's pick nigiri ($30). The karaage was solid: crispy, yummy, nicely presented, and good with the mayo dipping sauce. But the nigiri made my eyes POP. MAN OH MAN was it FRESH. It was so good. That was basically all I could think about while eating it. I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life, although I still have the palate of a college student...and sometimes the wallet, too. I've definitely had sushi where I've thought, "This tastes like nothing," or "Why isn't the rice seasoned?" or, worse, "This doesn't taste right...I don't think this is very fresh." This was the opposite. The fish actually had flavor. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and the rice and fish worked together the way good nigiri should. I wish I had slowed down and appreciated each piece more instead of inhaling it. I will absolutely be coming back. Now I know where to go when I'm craving genuinely good-quality sushi and am willing to spend a little more for it. The restaurant itself is classy, bright, neat, and polished without feeling stuffy. It would be a great place to catch up with a friend or for a date night. Although for a date, maybe don't feel bad about splitting the bill. It's the modern era anyway.

There are meals you remember because they taste good, and then there are experiences that change…read morethe way you think about food. Three 1 One Omakase was one of those experiences. It introduced me to new textures, flavors, aromas, and, most importantly, a deeper appreciation for the culture behind the food. From the moment we arrived, Chef Wei, his wife Carrie, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere felt intimate, as though we had been invited into someone's home rather than a restaurant. Every detail felt intentional, from the minimalist design and calming ambiance to the subtle aromas throughout the space. Learning that Three 1 One was originally a one-bedroom apartment made the experience even more meaningful. The evening reminded me of a trip to Phu Quoc, Vietnam, where local islanders welcomed my fiancé and eight friends into their home to share a meal prepared from that day's catch. Coincidentally, there were ten guests gathered around the counter at Three 1 One, just as there had been ten of us in Vietnam. In both places, strangers came together over exceptional food and genuine hospitality. That feeling stayed with me throughout the evening. My fiancé and I celebrated our 11th anniversary here as we began exploring Michelin-starred restaurants together. After traveling throughout North and South Vietnam, where his family is from, we returned with a renewed appreciation for food and the stories it tells. We were excited to discover such a thoughtful Michelin-starred restaurant so close to home. The 19-course omakase felt like a journey. The opening truffle sea bream with mizuna and sudachi sauce awakened the palate with bright citrus and earthy richness. The Kegani Hokkaido hairy crab with dashi jelly and tomato dashi mousse became my fiancé's favorite. Once mixed together, it was creamy, savory, delicate, and refreshing. His reaction said it all: "Wow." The tako (octopus) with house-made sweet soy sauce highlighted the natural flavor of the seafood beautifully, while the Tokobushi somen with abalone, wheat noodles, yam, okra, and cold dashi became one of my favorite courses. It was refined yet bold, layered with umami, and unexpectedly reminded me of the haenyeo women of Jeju Island, whose tradition of free-diving for seafood gave me an even greater appreciation for the ingredients. Another standout was the Amadai Uroko Yaki (crispy-scale tilefish). The contrast between the crisp scales and tender fish created a texture I'd never experienced before. Along with the abalone course, it was one of the highlights of the evening. The Aji horse mackerel with ginger, chives, sesame, and nori provided a refreshing transition before the sushi. The sushi alone deserves its own review. Every piece reflected remarkable craftsmanship and precision. Watching Chef Wei prepare each bite was part of the experience itself. The rice was beautifully seasoned, and every ingredient felt balanced. My favorite piece was the uni (sea urchin). It was incredibly smooth, rich, and almost buttery. My second favorite was the Hokkaido hotate (scallop), with its delicate smokiness, sweetness, and juicy texture that left me wanting another bite immediately. We also tried selections from the additional menu, along with a pear-toned sake that paired beautifully with the meal. More than anything, what stayed with me wasn't just the food, but the feeling of the evening. It was an experience built around craftsmanship, hospitality, culture, and sharing a meal with others. Thank you to Chef Wei, Carrie, and the entire team for making our 11th anniversary unforgettable and for giving us such a memorable first Michelin-star dining experience. We look forward to returning.

This was my first Omakase experience, and I honestly don't know how anything will ever top it! From…read morethe moment you walk in, the atmosphere is personalized and incredibly welcoming. We went through 18 courses of the freshest, highest-quality fish. Chef Wei's precision is amazing to watch, and the progression of the meal was perfectly paced. He is truly an artist! If you have allergies, they are exceptionally accommodating. I have a crab allergy, and they didn't just skip the course, instead they prepared a thoughtful, high-end substitution so I never felt like I was missing out on the full experience. While it is a splurge, Chef Wei ensures you get your money's worth through the quality of the ingredients and the flawless service. An absolute 10/10 for a special occasion!

The presentation of the dishes was great, and the food itself was fine. What put us off and left a bad taste from our experience is the service. We arrived a bit later than we expected, past 7:30pm as we spent too much time on parking (the lot adjacent to this restaurant is tiny and the rest of street parking is reserved for residents). Still, the restaurant advertises everywhere, including on yelp and its doors (!), that they close at 10pm so we intended to enjoy our meal and a lively conversation with our party. Our server was courteous for the first part of the meal, however, slightly before 9pm he began doing everything he could to kick us out, collecting unfinished dishes aggressively, pushing the bill in front of our noses and coming 5 seconds later with a machine so we pay and leave. The cherry on the top was when that server had the audacity to demand a higher tip (I was about to tip way more than that service deserved, but he said "the minimum amount has to be higher"). With so much great choices in the Boston area, I really don't see a reason to come back to this one...

And it is popular for a good reason. Service is quick, I'm sure they are trying to get people in and out. Very fresh kaisendon (fish bowls) with delicately cut, plump fish. A friend and I got the salmon and tuna don, which were appropriately priced under $20 if I remember correctly. Lots of different cuts of salmon and tuna, which were all covering fluffy white rice, and served with a side of miso soup and Japanese radish/pickled vegetable. If you were to compare this place with other casual Japanese spots serving sushi or sashimi, there is an easily discernable difference in quality. You can tell by the texture and appearance of the fish in your bowl! This is a classic in Chinatown for a reason, and I will never say no to a kaisendon from Tora.

I came for lunch with two friends, and they didn't have a table for three, but the hostess was able to quickly accommodate us by rearranging another party that just sat down, and we were able to get some seats at the bar. Service was really fast and friendly throughout our dining experience. I ordered the sake don from the lunch menu, which came with a good-sized portion of rice topped with salmon sashimi and a side of miso soup. Definitely a great spot for a quick and affordable lunch in Chinatown!
