    Mai Special Salmon Maki
    Mark H.

    When visiting the Boston area, we have found that sushi restaurants outside Boston pale in comparison to the restaurants in the city. We visited Mai place a few weeks ago and it did not change our opinion. Although the sushi roll options were creative (we may come by again to try some of the other rolls), our party enjoyed the Chinese entrees over the sushi rolls. I played it safe with a Sushi Appetizer and the Mai Special Salmon Maki, and experimented with the Torch Salmon. All were appetizing and of decent quality. The venue itself was quaint and not busy, although we did find the orange hue of the lighting dark and a bit disorienting.

    Great service and great food. If I'm ever in Canton, I will be back for the food. I went there for the lunch and it was packed. The portion is really good. Got me full. I got the bento box and when the bill came for two lunch orders was not even $20. The cucumbers that came with the salad is the best I had. I love how thinly sliced it is. I got the chicken teriyaki bento box and it really is so ^*~' good! Even the shrimp lobster sauce is so tasty. Judging from a Chinese patron. Will be back. Highly recommended. Even the washrooms are clean.

    So the conversation between my friend and I went down like this: Friend: "I'm having my birthday dinner at Mai Place". Me: "Oh, okay, at your house?" Friend: "Noooo it's an actual place in Canton!" Me: "oooooooooooooooh" Despite this little confusion, there were a group of about 7-8 of us gathered for a friend's 21st birthday. I decided to go family style with the friend to be able to try a little bit of everything, and see what Mai Place has to offer. We ended up ordering Singapore Noodles, Mango Chicken and Shrimp, and a Spider Maki. It all turned out to be just okay. The mango chicken and shrimp was probably the best out of what we ordered. Everyone else seemed to enjoy what they ordered, which is a plus. The Midori Sours (Drink of choice!) were yummy and never seems to do me wrong. And, my friend seemed to enjoy her birthday, which made it all even better. Would I come back? Sure, why not!

    This restaurant is located in an unassuming place, in a small strip mall along route 138. Upon walking in we were greeted by a very friendly hostess. Our server was one of the most entertaining and friendly servers we have ever encountered! He joked around with us, was patient, and told us that if we did not like something to let him know and he would take care of it. We started with some sushi: unagi (eel), maguro (tuna), and the sweet potato (idaho maki). All of the sushi was fresh and delicious and served very nicely. My wife stuck with the sushi, but I had to try an actual meal! So, I went with the boneless duck with ginger and scallions. I am not claiming to be a duck expert, but I will say that this was one of the greatest duck dishes I have ever experienced. The duck was tender, the skin was crispy, and the sauce was delicious. Everything about this dish was very high quality. While we ate, we actually perused the take-out menu to figure out what we'd like to order the next time we visit (yes, there will be a next time)! The only reason I am giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 is because of their dessert which is clearly not homemade. Obviously Chinese/Japanese restaurants are not know for their desserts, but we decided to try one anyway for fun. We had a mango/raspberry sorbet which was served with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Clearly, everything on their dessert menu is packaged food. At the conclusion of our meal, our fun server came by with hand wipes and he even opened the packages for us! Aside from the dessert experience, this restaurant is fantastic. The service and quality are some of the best we've seen, and we look forward to many future visits!

    Was last visit just a bad day? This time around, the sushi was fresh. I had Ika with tobiko topped with Quail egg. I also had this special roll with seafood salad shrimp wrapped with salmon then topped with seaweed salad. That was a very interesting taste. I also had their buffalo wings which I did not think was spicy at all. It was rather sweet. From this visit, I learned why their bar is small - they don't have a full liquor license! So I created a cocktail from what they had which tasted pretty darn good - Smirnoff Cranberry, Pama, Cranberry Juice and Pineapple Juice.

    It was the fortune is our cookie when we got the bill. It seemed appropriate for our experience.

    I came here on my sister-in-laws recommendation. She gets take out here for Christmas, so when my husband and I were in the area we decided to stop in for dine-in service. I really wasn't that impressed. I should start my saying that I am a "sushi newbie" (which isn't their fault of course). We ordered the chicken fingers first and they were greasy, flavorless, and there wasn't much chicken in them. Then we decided to split a sushi entree. We kept asking the waitress what the difference between maki (which is what we get on a regular basis) and tamaki which was what the entree we wanted had. She just kept saying " you get tamaki". There was a clear communication barrier so after 5 minutes of saying we jut wanted to know the difference, we figured we'd be adventurous and just give it a go. It didn't take long to come out which was nice; but when it did it was in a cone. That's fine (we knew there was a difference, we just wasn't sure what the difference was). She asked if we were all set, and we just asked how do we eat it. She brought out chopsticks but it wasn't cut so we weren't sure. She actually laughed at us and walked away. We eventually decided to use knives and cut it in pieces but I couldn't believe that she was laughing at us the whole time! It was a really bad experience! That being said the sushi was fresh and the spicy tuna was good. The yellowfin was gross. All I could taste was mayonnaise! Overall if I lived locally I may do sushi takeout here; but that's as far as I'd go.

    Two special rolls, the one in the back was softshell crab, which was hot and fresh.

The food was top quality and the atmosphere was on point. Genuinely one of the nicest experiences I have had with Hibachi in the state since moving here from Chicago. 10/10 would come again despite the 30 minute drive.

There was plenty of parking, and upon walking in the restaurant looked very clean. Since it was close to closing and I had called ahead, we were seated right away at a hibachi table with just the two of us. There was an extremely loud birthday party seated next to us, but that's not the restaurant's fault. While ordering, I wanted to get appetizers and sushi before our hibachi meal, but I felt a little rushed by our server. On a previous visit I remembered there being a Tuesday appetizer special (I thought it was half off), but when I asked, I was told they had never offered that promotion. Food: * Rock & Roll Roll - 8/10: Fresh and tasty, although the crab had a slightly stronger smell than I'd prefer. * Shrimp Tempura Roll - 9/10: Very good, but I asked for extra eel sauce and was given barely a tablespoon. * Steak & Shrimp Hibachi - 5/10: The flavor was excellent and everything was cooked exactly as requested, but the portions were surprisingly small for the price. * Chicken & Steak Hibachi - 5/10: Again, the flavor was great, but the portions were disappointing. We ordered extra chicken, which ended up being a good decision because the regular portion was very small. Each plate had less than a cup of rice, and although I requested extra mushrooms instead of zucchini and carrots, that substitution wasn't made. * Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - 10/10: Easily one of the best items we ordered. Perfectly crispy with great seasoning and just the right amount of spice. * Scallion Pancakes - 9/10: Crispy and flavorful, but they could have used more scallions and a larger portion of dipping sauce. Drinks: I ordered a lemon drop martini made with tequila, but it tasted like it was made with vodka. I asked if it could be replaced, but that request was declined. They brought me pineapple juice to try to make it more drinkable, but it didn't help, and the drink still remained on the bill. That was definitely a 0/10 experience. Our hibachi chef was fantastic. He was engaging, acknowledged my fiancé's birthday, and honestly made up for the lackluster service we received from our waiter. One thing diners should be aware of is that an 18% service charge is automatically added to the bill, but it isn't verbally mentioned. It's listed as a "service charge" on the receipt, so it's easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. I asked about it to confirm, then tipped our hibachi chef separately because he deserved it. The receipt also includes wording encouraging additional gratuity, which could easily lead guests to tip twice if they don't notice the automatic charge. Overall, the food quality and flavors were still good, and the hibachi chef made the experience enjoyable. However, the rushed service, disappointing portion sizes, drink issue, and lack of transparency about the automatic service charge kept this visit from living up to our previous experiences.

Staff here was rather neutral, with nobody really going above and beyond (kind of to be expected at these fast casual style restaurants), but nobody was bad or rude at all. For dinner, I started with a side order of their seaweed salad, which was fantastic, and actually one of the better seafood salads I've had recently. After that, I ordered both a salmon combo and an eel combo, which comes with a maki roll and nigiri. The portions were about what I expected, nothing huge but certainly not small, and it tasted of good quality. While it wasn't my absolute favorite sushi's I've had during my time in the area, I'd certainly stop back for a quick and reasonably priced roll or two!

Location is great, there were able 2 employees working the front. Not really sociable with us but very chatty with each other. Pricing is a bit on the higher end for the quality for sure, out of 7 dishes between a group of 4 and 2 were for sure pre-made items only 2 dishes were ok. As for the food itself, I can say it's more on a "cleaner" side vs the extra flavor and oily texture you'd get from a fast food chain. The ramen broth was subtle, the noodle perfect, but the flavor wasn't there. The Chef special roll was way over priced for what you get, especially only having 1 piece being the best out of the "assorted" fish. The hibachi wasn't good in my opinion, good portion though. Would not order that again. The chicken teriyaki flavor was great, chicken texture was more like grilled on a pan vs over flame. Loved the veggies though. The gyoza and takoyaki were good as well as the strawberry mochi icecream. Wish they were more friendly though, making us feel like we were inconvenient for them was a major turn off.

The food quality is above average, the execution is high, and the service is attentive. The space is clean and efficient, but lacks warmth. We visited the day after a large 1-2 foot snowstorm, and Ochi was one of the only restaurants open in town. I've eaten at Ochi 4x since it opened in 2023, although there's a lot more to explore on its expansive and prolific menu. On this visit, we tried a Tuna Poke Bowl, a Salmon Pome Bowl, a Katsu Ramen, a Mango Salad, and a Mochi desert. Regarding the Tuna Poke Bowl, Ochi took the liberty of substituting more expensive fatty tuna (Toro), for regular tuna (Maguro), a generous and appreciated gift as a thanks for dining on a very slow night due to the storm. Hence, I would recommend everything we tried: the Mango Salad, any of the Sushi, Sashimi and Maki choices, the Poke bowls and Ramen (especially the Spicy Miso Ramen, the chicken Katsu Ramen, and any of the traditional pork or beef Ramen choices). In addition, the deserts are especially worth trying, and are all well orchestrated. You can't really go wrong at Ochi.
