    Marinated short ribs
    Kevin L.

    This place is so underrated. We started off with the fried oysters as our appetizer and it was nicely fried on the outside and plump and juicy on the inside. For our entrees, we ordered a combo for 2 which comes with your choice of 2 meats for BBQ and 2 side dishes. We chose pork belly and marinated short ribs with a side of silky steam eggs (good for kids) and soybean soup. The KBbq experience also comes with 10 side dishes. All of them were well-fermented, which pairs nicely to clean your palate between bites of meat. The customer service was friendly and attentive. Our waitress cooked all our meats to perfection. Kid-approved. My 3 year old eats well here. We will definitely be back

    I've been coming to Kayuga for many years. They've been through many iterations and now they offer KBBQ where you grill your own food. I'm not someone who likes or can cook but it's a fun and interactive dining experience with friends. Honestly, there's not many grill your own food KBBQ restaurants in Boston so this is great. The portions were generous and the meats were not overly flavored so that I can dip it into their homemade sauces. If I want a certain piece of meat saltier, sweeter, or as is, I have that choice. They also have the tofu stew, silky steamed eggs and I can never get enough of their mini juicy dumplings! The ambiance is magically and service superb as always. The owners always walk around and check to make sure that you're having a fantastic dining experience there! Love Kayuga and if you're in the area, check them out!

    Nothing beats 2am sushi in bed

    I just ordered Kayuga for the second time during coronavirus. They are very quick and open very late to boot. Nothing beats 2am sushi. The maki is simple but tastes very good. For the special rolls in particular, they are usually neat (not falling apart, tightly rolled). I have an allergy to sesame and when I noted that on Uber Eats, a woman at Kayuga called me to say that the spicy mayo in the spicy tuna roll I ordered had sesame in it. So many Japanese restaurants will serve you things with sesame oil even if you tell them you are allergic, so it was great that they did this (although it should be the norm everywhere!).

    Korean Hae-Dup-Bap (Sliced Raw Fish on Rice)
    Joseph L.

    This is my favorite place because of three reasons: an incredible variety of cuisine (Japanese and Korean), the only place in Boston to get decent food late in the night, after midnight, and the extremely nice owners and staff. You can get either Japanese fresh sushi or Korean traditional food, from soups and stews, to bbq meat. My personal favorites: Sake ikura don (sliced salmon sashimi and salmon roe over a bed of rice) and Haedupbap, a Korean version of Japanese sushi, a variety of chopped raw fish over a bed of lettuce and rice, topped with a spicy chili sauce. Also, the owner, Sue, is incredibly nice and wonderful.

    Shumai (steamed shrimp dumpling)
    Karen X.

    The food I got here (Shumai) was delicious, though a bit overpriced for the portion size. Great care was taken to make sure that the food was served fresh and warm. Taken to go, the food was thoughtfully packaged and ready for pick up on time. The ambiance inside the restaurant itself was nice and had a bit of an upscale vibe to it.

    seafood tofu soup
    Christine B.

    This place is good. I wouldn't say the food is particularly remarkable, but I do appreciate that their menu reflects a wide range of cuisines from Korean, Japanese, to even Thai food. Thus, this place is perfect for a group of hungry customers who are all craving different things! I ended up ordering the seafood tofu soup and found it to be pretty tasty! It was definitely less tofu than what's typical for this dish, but the serving of seafood was VERY generous. It comes with a serving of rice and three small side dishes so it is an overall very satisfying and filling meal. This place is a pretty solid choice. Though the food is not extraordinary, I appreciate a lot of things about it--in addition to their wide range of cuisines, I like the fact that their numerous TVs make it the perfect place to enjoy a sports games over some food and drinks!

    Good service and a nice dinner, arriving close to 8pm on a weeknight. I chose the drunken noodles and they were tasty and very hot, perhaps a little bit too much sauce. But the veggies mixed through were properly tender and there was plenty of chicken. With it, a unique rice-based beer I've never had before. Nothing out of the ordinary. It was A-OK.

    Specialty Maki - 8 Pieces Double Tuna Maki
    Rebecca K.

    I came in on a weekday afternoon after an appointment in the area. I'm not too familiar with the area other than knowing that it's BU country so I figured most places are you geared towards students. This restaurant attracted my attention because not only was I craving some sushi but the exterior was clean and had a stainless steel finished back lit sign which was inviting to me. I was immediately greeted and showed to the bar, as I was alone. The bar runs the length of the left side of the restaurant with a good dozen seats or so and 2 TVs with sports on. I hear this is a good spot to watch Boston teams games. The rest of the restaurant is filled with big comfy booths! It's dark inside with moderate lighting to create a nice dinner atmosphere. I enjoyed that.... relaxing and cozy yet not too casual. Because I came in for a "snack" I had the Double Tuna Specialty maki. Delish! Satisfied with the size, sushi quality and speediness of it being made at the sushi bar towards the back where you can watch him make it. I do say I would have appreciated if the roll was a little bigger and a bit more saucy (more teriyaki sauce on top)! The prices are are affordable and what I would expect (for an area with students and simply reasonable for anyone) $8-13/roll depending if it's speciality or not. They have a good thing going over here! OH yeah, big Sapporo's and a full bar to top it off. Cheers.

    This restaurant was a quick stop for us before a concert. We came in with no expectations and left hankering for more. We ordered the soft shell crab app, the beef bulgogi, and the yakisoba-- all SO flavorful and beautifully prepared. Service was quick and pleasant. This is a true gem!!

    Spicy pork Bulgogi
    In K.

    Kayuga just changed management. They don't serve sushi anymore, they going korean food. We tried croquettes and gyoza they both really good my fave is actually croquettes. bimbimbap was great. The stone pot keep long till the end of our visit, keep my dish warm for a long time. The veggies comes with it tastes all good together although I was hoping for more green on my bimbimbop. Spicy pork Bulgogi great as well, we just hope for more caramelized onion like Bulgogi typically comes with but overall really good! We are happy. They only thing that keeping it from 5stars is the soup that my nephew got. Don't know the name of the dish, its a big bowl of soup of rice cake, meat veggies and the color was cloudy white? We don't really liked it and I don't even want to take picture of it coz it doesn't look appetizing at all.

    I came as a party of 13 on a Friday night and I still stand true to my belief that the service here is excellent. Despite our large group, they were great in handling our orders and accommodating my reservation over the phone. Appetizer wise, I highly recommend the Hotate Hokkaiyaki (Baked large scallop on shell with crab stick, mushroom, flying fish roe, and spicy mayo). Forget the seafood pancake...too doughy. After trying many of their house specialty makis, I highly recommend the MIT maki (crab stick, avocado maki with torched salmon on top, spicy mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce) and the College maki (crab salad, cucumber, tempura flakes with torched salmon on top, spicy mayonnaise, and teriyaki sauce). The torched salmon taste was delightful! Drinks wise, you gotta get the Lychee soju. It comes in a classy, narrow pitcher with real canned lychees. You get a long spoon to scoop them out so you can munch on them with your shot. Pleasantly lychee-syrup flavored with a faint hint of soju. This place does sake bombs! :D As long as you don't bang on the tables, it's alright with them :) Added bonus: Their bathroom is really clean and smells pleasant. None of that public bathroom stench! Definitely a permanent favorite place of mine in Boston now.

    First time here and it was great! We did the AYCE all-you-can-eat on a Monday (they only do it…read moreMonday and Tuesdays) - got there around 7:30p and even though it was very full, we got seated quickly with a table for 3. It's $50 for the regular AYCE or $80 for the Premium AYCE. We opted for the former, and it was plenty great. We have done lots of AYCE sushi and I will say this is the BEST of them - I think it's because it's the same grade sushi as they would normally do Ala carte on other nights. The $50 menu had plenty of sashimi and regular nigiri (sushi with rice) options and some Thai too. We had mostly the sashimi Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Octopus, a few rolls, some edamame, gyoza, shumai. My favorites were the salmon, as the cuts were large, thick and amazing silky, and the gyoza, as it was perfectly crispy. The Pad Thai was bit way too sweet for my taste - a skip for me next time. The decor is very nice - reminded me of a dive Tokyo bar. Service was quick and very attentive. We will be back!

    Have been hearing about their Mon & Tue AYCE, so went on to try it a month or so ago. With what…read moreseems to be a recent price increase, now $50++ allows access to a good variety of sushi/sashimi, on top of apps, ramen, poke bowls, and cooked rice/noodle dishes. Whereas $80++ offers diners a set of amount of uni, plus unlimited amount of everything else, wagyu included. Sounds like a good deal, especially when one can eat a lot. Even as we are no longer Team Eat Till You Burst, we went for the premium, mainly for the nicer cuts such as toro and wagyu, and because uni!! Jumping in shortly after 5pm, we were promptly seated, marked a bunch of stuff on paper, and soon after submission, we got food brought to our table. It was a decent meal overall, so why 3 stars? Let's recap. Menu variety is fantastic, though of course we didn't get "one of everything", coz that's simply impossible. While the premium did cover a lot of grounds, it would have been nice if they also included anago (sea eel) which is currently only available on the a la cart menu, and maybe even offer couple lesser-known items such as monk fish liver app, sea grapes, off-the-beaten-path fish cuts, what have you. Would be happy even if we only get an allotment of those like we do with the uni. Now, service - great overall. Servers circulated around and were alert of customers' needs. Approached at appropriate times to take our order sheets, refill water, provide new order sheets, and ask if we wanted more food. So kudos on that. Their denotation of serving "regular portion" of cooked food had us hesitant in ordering, since we didn't want to be wasteful (or use our limited stomach space for dishes we can easily get elsewhere). But from other tables' orders as well as the one noodle dish that we ended up getting, it seems that the portion size was what I would like to see at AYCE places -- about 50-60% of regular Asian dish size, where 3-4 people can each have a couple bites "just to try". However, to think if that is what they call "regular portion", then it is definitely "Brookline pricing" on a la carte, which I would not recommend one to do such things on these items. Food is fantastic in general; we got a variety of stuff, and everything was really of top quality and taste. The meal would have been a "highly recommended" if they didn't serve the uni that we got. Out of the 12 pcs of uni sushi, all of them were... while not "foul" to a point where one cannot safely consume, they were definitely more sub-par than "ok but not great". Colors aside (which I understand there can be a range depending on origins and such), the uni was a "splat" of yellow stuff on rice, without distinct shape of the flesh. On top of the fishy smell (I'm talking about slightly ammonia-ish), the presentation and taste-texture upon them hitting our tongues... really left the ENTIRE room to be desired. In retrospect, we should have sent them back even if they weren't going to replace them. But instead, we stupidly forced ourselves to shove them all down in cowardly silence, then ordered another round of wagyu just to make us feel a little better about it. Yes, we weren't smart as customers. But if the restaurant is going to charge $100++ per person (after tax and tip), someone from the kitchen should have known better than pushing this thing out for customers to deal with. In their defense, yes, the uni itself was still "edible" in a sense that it didn't make us sick, but I'd maintain that better judgment should have been made. Once the shell was cracked open and you see this pale-gray yellow mush, it should have been decided that it is better repurposed, than be served straight to your customers as your star/featured product. As seen in other diners' experiences, it could just have been a one-off mishap, so I'm not knocking them entirely. But I do hope the restaurant would improve on their QC accordingly. It was such a disappointing low point in an otherwise wonderful meal.

We got two of the special rolls, Kiss of Fire and (I think) Torched Yellowtail, which were both tasty. No complaints there! For our appetizer we got sashimi salad, composed of strips of several kinds of raw fish (salmon, tuna, white tuna, yellowtail) and some surimi and avocado on top of a bed of greens. There was a ponzu like sauce on the side. Although fresh and not bad tasting, I think this was a bit plain. Overall though, the prices and vibes were good and I'd come back!

The spicy tuna this time brought the heat and balanced well with the sweet crazy maki roll. The miso soup was not as flavorful as I remembered but everything else was perfect.
