    Azuki Anpan
    Srinithi R.

    I have heard great things about this place and I wanted to check it out. I got the azuki anpan which is filled with red bean paste. It was very good and mildly sweet. The staff were really friendly. The cafe is mainly grab and go. I didn't see any tables or seats. I would definitely come back to check out the matcha and the salt and butter rolls.

    Matcha sunrise

    I went on a morning run and stopped by Komugi to check out some of the breads and pastries. Immediately I was greeted by the sweetest woman at the cashier and she explained what was in each of the buns I inquired about. Unfortunately, when I got there the curry pan was out and I had to come back in 40mins for the next batch. It was totally worth the wait though and I also got a matcha sunrise (essential a matcha melon pan). Both were soooo delicious and fluffy and not too sweet. Against my better judgement I inhaled both of them when I got home. Something about that Hokkaido flour made them super light and I didn't feel bloated or groggy even after eating both

    Exciting new bakery in Somerville that's a definite must try! I recently went to Komugi after hearing great reviews and it did not disappoint.There are so many delicious pastry options and I had a hard time picking which ones I wanted to try first. I got the curry pan, which was delicious and flavorful, and the matcha sunrise, which was light and crispy. You can also order from several different coffee options. The latte I ordered was perfect. Everyone is so nice and friendly in the store. It's a small space with no seating so be prepared to take your items to go. Even with no seating this place has such a bright and cheery vibe. Can't wait to visit again!

    I saw the news about Komugi and it's been a bakery I've been meaning to try and it didn't disappoint! When you first enter, the space is very clean and you're greeted by the owner. It's a very small space and there's no tables or seating inside. The pastries that they sell are displayed near the register as well. Food: these are Japanese style breads and pastries so the bread is soft and the pastries are not too sweet. I bought a couple items and they were all very good. I also got a latte and it was a strong coffee. Personally, I like the chocolate emoji bread. The bread was very soft and fluffy and the filling had the right amount of sweetness. Location: there's no metered parking outside the bakery and if you're quick, the residential parking might be an option where you can double park quickly. Union station is very convenient and only a couple minutes away.

    The only mistake I made when visiting was eating beforehand. I walked in for a delicious vanilla latte, but was tempted by the milk bread pastries like French toast and other goodies. We sampled a few and vowed to come back.

    Custard bun and Matcha sunrise
    Tianna D.

    My friend got me treats from here for my birthday and it was my first time trying them. I love custard buns and I love matcha. I liked both of them, I warmed them up at home to eat. The matcha sunrise is more like roll with the matcha sugar on top and the consistency of that topping makes it balanced since there's nothing in the middle. I will be visiting them myself soon!

    Super excited to try Komugi and they didn't disappoint. The bread is soft, pillowy and everything you'd want in Japanese bread. They're continuously baking so there's always fresh items coming out and they have a good mix of classic and unique items that we don't see in Boston yet. The space is small and is best for take out. I came in a bit later (11:30am) and they were sold out of their donuts, cinnamon roll and filled buns so come early for a larger selection. The line moved on the slower side but they opened quite recently and are super busy so this wasn't too surprising. I waited about 20 minutes. The matcha sunrise was fantastic and I keep telling people about it because you can really taste the matcha. I also tried the everything salt and butter roll as I am so excited to see salt bread here in Boston. Good, buttery flavor that isn't too salty. I will definitely come back to try more, it's worth it!

    Sat morning selection
    Lena L.

    Came in around 9 on Sat hoping to beat the crowd and get a full selection and I was right! They are located right on a corner of a 5way intersection so it was hard to park in front of the store. My bf dropped me off and I went in to grab the goods. The bakery smelled amazing with fresh baked goods and they had a sample of everything salt butter roll at the counter. It was amazing!! I ended up getting a red bean salt butter roll and curry pan. I was warned that the curry pan is fresh out of the oven so very hot. Both were delicious and I will definitely come back for more bread!

    Interior/Inside: About the Bakery

    I stopped by Komugi and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and warm service as soon as you enter. All the employees were extremely gracious and kind. This was definitely the highlight of the visit. I tried the cookie salt and butter roll and the matcha donut. Both were unique, fresh, and tasty. The cookie salt and butter roll had an excellent texture and flavor. I recommend trying it. The matcha donut was not too sweet and airy. FYI there is no seating inside.

    I found myself in the area and figured I'd pop by. The shop is small without any tables but I saw two girls sitting on the one of the many window ledges so that's an option. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and two pastries, the matcha sunrise and the cube anpan. I ate the matcha sunrise before I could take a good photo, but it was nice and light with a subtle matcha taste. The latte was excellent and had a strong matcha flavor, which I enjoyed. The matcha was a little pricey ($8.50 plus extra for alternative milk) but I'd definitely come back!

    The love boat ($69) for 2 was EXCELLENT. We both left dinner completely stuffed to the brim, and I…read morewas thrilled with both the value and the quality of the meal. 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!

    Extremely fresh fish with generous portions in a casual, underground space…read more I think this is a reasonably priced establishment for the level of fish (phenomenal) and service (reasonable and attentive, but not like a fancier sit down restaurant) that you get. I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

    Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

    I thought their signature shio broth was the best: creamy and porky. It tasted like it has been…read moresimmering for hours. As some of the other reviewers mentioned, it was greasy. The miso broth was not bad, but the miso flavor dominated the rich pork broth, so I got less of the pork flavor. The noodles were firm, but I was disappointed with the scant toppings. My bowl only had 1 thin fish cake, 3 bamboo strips, and few wood ear mushroom strings (1 star off). Even the pork piece was small, about the size of 3 bamboo strips. Most other ramen places I have been to include an abundance of toppings or even a soft-boiled egg. I guess the ramen bowl here could fill a craving, but not one I would go out of my way for. One annoying thing that happened with us is that our waiter gave us the runaround to get an advertised $1 discount with a student ID (1 star off). My son showed his student ID and then the waiter said we have to download their app too. I downloaded it, but then he said the app account needs to be in my son's name. I then changed the account to my son's name and showed him. Then the waiter said the email needs to be his school email address. Eh, nowhere on Earth does a *restaurant* marketing app requires a student's school email address. Then he started asking if my son goes to college or high school, and that he needs to clear with his manager if a high school ID is okay. At this point, it just seems like he was trying to make things extra difficult for us. He eventually said he got "permission" from his manager to apply the $1 discount for my son's high school ID. Good Lord -- this is not worth it at this point and left a negative impression about the establishment.
