Always consistent. Love the Okdal Bimbimbop, Beantown Roll, Hamachi Cileno, Oyster Katsu, Seafood Udon Noodle Soup and many others. Cheers!

Customer service very poor. Front desk is very rude and unprofessional when you request assistance. read more

I was really craving some simple salmon over rice and decided to order delivery from here. The salmon was fresh and tasty. The rice was over seasoned but the texture was great. Followed this up with dessert, strawberry mochi ice cream. You get two pieces in an order. Chewy, sweet, a perfect end to the meal. Keep in mind that prices on delivery apps (we used DoorDash) are almost 1.5x the price in the restaurant. Of course, their delivery fees are also quite high irrespective of distance so it evens out. Basically, if you want to pay standard price, it's best to eat in or pick up the meal yourself! read more

Misono is consistently excellent. The food is fresh, and the menu is wide ranging. From sushi to soup and pad thai, everything I've eaten at Misono has been delicious and reasonably priced. My family and friends love Misono too. Don't miss out on enjoying this gem! read more

Misono is one of my favorite local spots for good comfort Asian food. They have a mix of Korean, Japanese and Thai options. Service is always great and attentive and the place is always a quaint place to sit and eat. I always enjoy their tofu pad Thai, salmon or tuna bibimbap bowl, and duk mandu guk (soup in photo). They're basically my go to orders. Some sushi appetizers like tuna croquettes are quite pricey but really tasty. Whenever I'm in the area, I tend to always want to stop by! read more

I have loved this place for years. Their sushi is so good. They have wonderful specialty rolls. I love that the rice on the rolls is not to thick. Some other favorites include the dragon ball, spicy udon noodle soup and their lunch bento boxes. You can't go wrong! read more

Recently some friends took me to dinner at Misono for my birthday, and I was impressed. So I decided to try ordering dinner through their delivery service. I was charged #60.95 for the food, delivery, and a tip for the driver, but the food never arrived. I got a phone call from the driver, saying that he couldn't find my number. Since I just moved in a few weeks ago, I thought he couldn't find me in the building entry system. So I said I was coming down, and I went down to the lobby, but he wasn't there. He called me again and said he couldn't find my rather large apartment building. I kept telling him it was at 201 Sherman Road, but he finally said he was at 200 and was leaving the food there. He texted me a picture of the food left in front of a door numbered 200, and I got a text from Grubhub saying that my order was delivered. But it wasn't delivered. Not to me anyway. Then I got an email from Misono asking for a review of my experience. I replied with a thumbs down and described my experience. I thought I'd hear from them by now, but that was Saturday night, and it's now Tuesday, and I've heard nothing. Since I see no way to rate grubhub or Toast, their "delivery partner," and the Toast website provides no way to follow up, I'm posting this review of Misono. I loved their food when I got to try it, but I'm not ordering delivery from them again. read more

Awesome spot for Asian cuisine. Great sushi and a variety of food from all over Asia including Thai and Korean. The pad Thai was fantastic. The spicy tuna was great. The house special spicy fried shrimp was really tasty. High class, expensive, but worth every penny. I will certainly be back; this is my 4th time: Love this spot. read more

We get the kalbi stone pot rice all the time. It take a little bit of time but definitely worth the wait.

Don't get me wrong, I am still a huge fan of misono and always will hold it close to my heart - however, I have one request: PLEASE STOP USING EXTREMELY BROWN AVOCADOS. I am tired of trying to figure out wether the vegetable is rotten or oxidized- and quite frankly, I shouldn't be spending time doing so. Had to discard almost every roll last time because of this. Regardless of wether it is safe to eat, it is simply unappetizing. read more

Very difficult ordering for lunch takeout. Phones don't open till 1130. Told food was going to be ready at 12. 30 minutes late. Bad attitude from the woman working the takeout. Not a single person eating lunch inside but still an extreme wait. Won't come back. read more

GET THE TORNADO ROLL TO GO! It's soooo yum. They put all the toppings on the side and it's like a bowl of the most delicious tasting stuff I've ever had. Plenty to put on the roll and then a bunch to jsuy eat plain it's sooo good. They are nice good service and cool place but I always get to go to be honest. The miso soup is also good and so is the seaweed salad I like that they put some crab on it read more

SUSHI SUPREME I've been coming to Misono for over 10 years and I can say the service is always consistently been amazing. I have gone to other Japanese and Asian restaurants where they serve sushi and none of them compete in my book. I have never done take out with them because I never really believed in ordering Sushi or food takeout because it's not the same experience. But I was blown away, it was virtually the same experience taste-wise. The food is always delicious and has never changed. They use quality ingredients and this place is definitely affordable. You can choose to have a luxurious sushi roll or stick with something casual for a more affordable price. But either way you will not be disappointed. I will be coming here for my Sushi fix regularly. read more

We come to Misono a few times a month because it's close by, but last night, I got some severe FOOD POISONING and that was the last straw. Officially never coming back again. Ordered the firecracker roll and the fish on top did look fairly gray and suspicious, but I have had sushi here so many times that I didn't think much about it. I ate 2-3 pieces before realizing it tasted strange too and started picking it off. Woke up suddenly in the middle of the night 10 hours after the meal in a cold sweat with every food poisoning symptom under the sun. My husband's food poisoning kicked in about 12 hours later. Neither of us could even get out of bed today. It absolutely destroyed us. What kind of experienced sushi chefs would serve that kind of fish?! And honestly, the service here is some of the slowest I've ever seen. Most of the waitresses are nice, but there's a big stone wall in the back that they all hide behind and ignore their tables. Besides pouring water, it takes at least 15-20 min before they come check on you to order. And the way they deliver food to the tables is so inefficient. Most of the time, the sushi orders are just sitting on top of the sushi bar being ignored for way too long. (That probably doesn't help with keeping them fresh...) All of this really just stems back to poor management. The lady and guy who seem like the managers/owners also play hostess, so they're busy dealing with take out orders and seating people. One of the waitresses should really do that job, so the managers can actually manage what's happening on the floor and make sure the employees aren't just hanging out in the back. read more

Misono - The Food Poisoning Roll... get it while it's not fresh! - Japanese Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Lets keep yelp reviews about the food, service, and ambiance. No matter how wrong customers may seem, theres no place for angry reactions targeting their character. I was reconsidering a gathering amongst my Korean friends here for an upcoming celebration since the ambiance is warm, but the managers response below (and to those of other reviewers) provided me with a clearer understanding of the decision I need to make for my party. read more

I never really got in. I went in and I looked at a menu. She told me to go outside. I told her it would only take a second since I wanted just a appetizer. She said no, I needed to read it outside and I must call order in. Well, I never tasted their food cuz I was treated so coldly. There was nothing on the door saying stay outside to make a order. I'll be going back to JP Seafood for my Japanese food. read more

Excelent food. The fish is fresh, well prepared and tasty. The rice is perfect. The portions are abundant. The proportion of rice to fish is perfect. I am very pleased, being new to the area. The service is also excellent. The second time we went back, the waitress recognized us... i wish i could have said the same, but with these damned masks , i can hardly recognize my mother. Anyways, great place. read more

Sushi is always very fresh! Love the interior design - small but cozy traditional but modern wood panels & and an indoor fish pond! read more

Consistently good sushi and other Japanese main dishes. Service is friendly, and it is fun to sit at the sushi bar and watch the chefs work. Take-out pick up time is often later than they say it will be when you place an order. Fortunately, the waiting is worth it. read more

The food is amazing, but the service is extremely upsetting. I have been going here for YEARS and order takeout weekly. I get off of work at 8, so I order then. Their website states they close at 9pm as they have been for years. Lately, the hostess is making up closing times every week when I order. She will say "Oh we close at 8:30 today" and the next week it will be 8:40 or even 8:20, all in an attempt to not wait on customers to pick their food up close to closing time. If the restaurant wants to close earlier, they can update they hours on their website. I just placed and order at 8pm and I got a CALL from the restaurant at 8:30 saying that I'm late to come pick it up and that they are closing in a few minutes.... When I know full well they close at 9. It's extremely unprofessional, rude, and off putting to customers who order every single week. read more

Greeted nicely at the front, but things quickly took a downturn. Upon being seated at the sushi bar, I began to give my order to the "sushi chefs", but they only responded with a confused look. My party was then informed by the gentle-spoken waitress that all sushi orders are done on paper. This struck me as awkward, especially since the whole point of sushi bar seating is to interact with the people who slice your fish. There should be no reason why customers sat at the bar shouldn't be able to order directly. It is understandable for customers sat at tables away from the bar to order by paper. Another thing that struck me was the amount of online orders and dishes on top of the sushi bar. Online orders were piled 3 high all along the bar. Dishes of sushi and sashimi sat for 5-15 minutes undisturbed atop the bar. If I were at a table and saw my food just sat there unattended to, that would drive me mad! No reason for these not to be delivered to tables in a timely manner. The back was hectic. Communication was done primarily in Mandarin. Staff occasionally talked among themselves in Cantonese. Online orders, as I overheard, took up to an hour to get out. For 5+ chefs at the sushi bar, the pace that they made the sushi was unacceptably slow. My boyfriend ordered beef+shrimp teriyaki. The beef was very much overdone, tough and chewy. The sauce itself was singular in flavor, not much else but sweet. Insanely overpriced for what you get. The cut of beef was poor. This came with miso soup. I also got a miso soup on the house for having to wait so long for simple nigiri. Nothing fancy. Mainly seaweed/dashi flavor with not enough miso. The miso separated from the broth. Overall, mediocre. My nigiri finally arrived after around a 30 minute wait. Unacceptable! I ordered saba and hamachi. Saba was bland. Hamachi was bland. The cuts were subpar in quality but at least of decent size. Not worth it at all. Terrible! Would never return! read more

The spicy tuna maki came discolored and fell apart when I picked it up as it was sloppily made. The tuna was a dark brown color instead of a reddish color and seemed like it was left out for days... It was most likely not fresh. I had previously read a review about somebody getting food poisoning from also having this restaurants tuna sashimi. Additionally, when we called we were treated with an unprofessional attitude from the host. This was not the first time the same host has been impolite to his customers. read more

Delicious sushi and great chicken or salmon teriyaki- always a go to for great Japanese food

If your server tells you that the sushi bar is slightly backed up, it's probably an understatement cuz I've been waiting 20-30 mins. The good thing though, is that while you sit on your fancy minimalist bamboo chair, you can smell all the wonderful sesame oil and tempura flakes smell waft out the kitchen. By the way, they certainly don't cheap out on their sashimi. Cool temperature, THICK slices (thickest I've seen anywhere)..and VERY fresh! I didn't try their bimbimbop (korean rice dish) but they looked and smelled fantastic. Definitely going back just to try them. read more

The owner and the hostesses are very rude. But sushi's are good. It's all depends what you want.

I frequently take out the different types/flavors of the udon noodle bowls. These are quality and reasonably priced. A large amount of ingredients are included depending on your order. Once I sat at the Sushi bar and had the most amazing spicy tuna roll I ever had. I ordered a Bento box another time and the miso soup , salad and teriyaki rice bowl thing was awesome! I apologize for not remembering the exact name. As I type this I am heading there now with my friend for lunch to introduce her to this hidden gem!! read more

This place has been a regular spot for me for almost 20 years. Consistently really good food. The okdol bibimbab is my favorite but have had lots of sushi, noodles, katsu, bulgogi, miso, etc., over the years and has never missed on quality. They are not super friendly here but not at all unfriendly. They are always busy but manage it well. Oddly, I have only eaten in maybe 5 times in all those years. The place is very nice for a strip mall location. read more

I have been going to Misona for over five years and have always enjoyed the great service, beautiful atmosphere and solid sushi but tonight was a disappointment. I ordered the super crab roll which is my favorite and one I eat on my monthly visit there. Unforfinately, it seems that Misona is trying to save money by adding filler to this $15.95 roll. Tonights roll, which is normally stacked with a blend of fake crab and real crab and mayo had only small flakes of FAKE crab and was mostly tempura crubs. At $16 for one roll I expected that there would be some REAL crab. Cheap! You are not fooling your long time customers and quit trying to skim a buck. Its bad enough that your menu advertizes this as a crab roll, never mentioning that it is a blend of fake and real crab but now there isnt even any real crab in the crab salad on top. That is called false advertising. May never come here again. Ps. I just tried the lobster roll again and what used to involve real pieces of lobster for 14.95 is now lobster mush. (See photo). Again they are trying to save money and you are going to lose your customers in the process. I expect real crab and lobster for 14.95. Cheap! read more

This place is amazing. I have gone dozens of times. The okdol bibimbap is always a crowd pleaser with any of the meat options available. I love it so much. It is comforting, filling and has plenty of yummy vegetables mixed in. The sauce is an incredible addition. As someone who had a bad experience with sushi once, I was hesitant to try it. Misono completely changed my mind on sushi. Their rolls are so fresh and interesting. I have been craving literally any roll from Misono for days now. The udon soup and yaki udon are also very good. I cannot wait to go back and try even more items on their menu. A testament to how incredible this place is: last week there was over an hour wait for food, and people were still placing orders! People know how good this place is and are willing to wait that long for pick-up. read more

Visited Misono this evening after finally feeling comfortable enough to dine in after Boston's implementation of the Covid vaccine mandate for restaurant dining. The hostess promptly checked our vaccine cards and brought us to our table. Let's just say I left this meal feeling extremely pleased with my decision to visit Misono for my first real meal in a restaurant for a long time. Everything was delicious - the fish was fresh and flavorful. Everything was cooked to perfection. Even though there only appeared to be one server working the whole restaurant, the service was exceptional. Can't wait until my next visit to Misono for some delicious eats! read more

First time there, last time there. Shortsighted business model. Walked in solo at 2:35, sat at the bar to order quickly, was informed by the front desk that they were closed for lunch. I asked what time they closed as one of the three pairs of diners in the restaurant were just being served their food. The response was that the dining room was closed for dining but I did have the option of ordering expensive sushi as take out until 2:45 on this 94 degree day. Business must really be booming that customers can be turned away. I'm all set, thanks. read more
