Spanish Mackerel Sawara (1pc)
Shaun L.

Been in search for a great sushi spot in the north shore and finally found one. Alan is really passionate and took great pride and care in the quality of the fish he served. We did the omakase, which is best to make reservations so he can prepare. The omakase is served one piece at a time with time slots of 1:30.330 and 830. It's $110 per person and it's 15 courses. Our favorites were the Spanish mackerel, and the giant eye red snapper. Everything else was really good, but those two stood out as our favorites. You can also order the omakase à la carte, but best to give it some time to prepare because each piece is intricate. We look forward to trying if everything on the menu!

Celebrating 6 years of being together. We heard the sushi was good quality for the price. Here is what we ordered: 1Trio: Bluefin Tuna Belly, Torch Salmon Belly, Hamachi Belly 2Sea Urchin Uni 3A5 Wagyu 4 Scallop Hotate 5Eel Unagi 6Fatty Tuna Toro 7Sea Bream Madai 8 Amberjack Kanpachi 9Threadfin Bream Itoyorida 10 Rainbow Ceviche: Mixed Sashimi with spicy sauce 11Green Tea Tiramisu  12Green Tea Cheesecake The quality was great.The Fatty Tuna Torro was to fatty for me. The Uni, Eel Unagi, & Scallop Hotate were my favorites. The taste reminded me of something that I would get in Japan. The Green Tea Cheesecake was delicious. The Green Tea Tiramisu was still frozen. It was better after a few minutes. Overall, it would come back if it was closer. The pricing was reasonable for the quality of sushi that you get. Service was decent.

Given the number of reviews and the rating, I came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, Mojo did not deliver. Walking up there is a small dining patio and two doors. The door with the hours listed apparently isn't the one you enter through. There's a side door. You enter a room with a could of tables.... and... just stand there. Until you figure out there's a tiny room with a sushi bar. I get it, the place is small... but zero thought went into greeting and seating. Fortunately it wasn't busy but I wouldn't want a crowd of people hovering over my table waiting to find anyone to greet them. Service was OK. Fish was decent quality. It's more on the expensive side, which is fine, but this visit i didn't feel was worth the price. Sushico in Newton is leagues above, especially at this price point. The stand out pieces were the scallop and uni. These are hard to find at every sushi place. I was disappointed over all.

No longer new to Wakefield, Mojo shines in the area for offering the highest quality sushi available in Metro Boston. The co-owner/sushi chef is purchasing from the same exact suppliers and purchases the highest quality fish that the top tier omakase restaurants in Boston purchase. Mojo Sushi is not your run of the mill suburban low quality sushi restaurant which you can find in every town and city across the state. In fact, we have one of those places around the corner from Mojo. This restaurant focuses on providing the absolute best sushi available to customers. Do note, it is a tiny family owned/run restaurant, sometimes it is only the sushi chef / owner there, which limits the service they can provide. If you are looking for white glove service, this isn't what they are able to provide as a small restaurant. While there are plenty of quiet off hours to eat, sometimes they do get slammed from people who all want to eat at the same exact time, so you will need to be patient if you're choosing to dine when everyone else wants to. You will have a much better experience if you come during a slower day or less busy time to eat. If you want to place a larger order, call ahead with plenty of notice so you aren't waiting. The head sushi chef (co-owner) Allen comes most recently from Oishii in Boston and is always interested in any tweaks to make on the menu. He has a funny sense of humor and likes to joke around. If you don't like dad jokes or don't have a sense of humor, you may not understand (I saw a couple of negative reviews from people who clearly don't have sense of humors). The restaurant is cozy/tiny. It has some seating right at the sushi bar and less than a handful of tables (inside) in a small room next door. Definitely sit at the sushi bar if there is room. During nice weather, outside tables are also available, but if the Owner/Chef is all alone working, as is often the case during lunch hours, you may need to go inside to order. Both omakase style sushi and traditional sushi are available. Nigiri and sashimi are omaskase style by default. If you do not want certain nigiri lightly torched or with the chef's special toppings, you need to let him know when ordering, he is glad to accommodate however you want your sushi made, whether you want traditional sushi with no toppings, or omakase style as is, which will involve his special toppings and sometimes a light torch. Personally I order my nigiri or sashimi with his toppings but without a torch, because that is how I prefer my sushi. Don't miss trying the oshizushi (oshi sushi) pressed sushi, one of my favorite Japanese sushi dishes. Available with your choice fish (salmon / hamachi are my recommendation) or vegetarian (vegan friendly) - the vegetarian/vegan option isn't on the menu anymore, but he will gladly accommodate the vegan/vegetarians in your party. I have updated my review since I have now come to eat here endless many dozens of times since they opened. You will not find a sushi chef around more dedicated to providing the best possible sushi available. Prices will be more than your run of the mill corner suburban sushi shop, but there is no comparison when you taste what he is serving in comparison. Some of my favorites are the Sake/Salmon, Bluefin Tuna (different and much better than typical Yellowfin Tuna), Hamachi/Yellow Tail, Ocean Trout, and Saba (Pickled Mackerel). He makes an excellent poke bowl as well. If you're on a tight budget, the poke bowls, oshizushi (pressed sushi), and handrolls are the most budget friendly sushi options on the menu.

WOW- an amazing dining experience!! I loved everything about this omakase experience. Chef Allen is a master sushi chef. The attention to detail while entertaining his customers made it an unforgettable experience. Your tastebuds will be satisfied at many levels! It is a small place and that adds to the appeal of the experience. We will definitely will be back in the future as I'd like to try his hand rolls and other things on the menu.

Had a wonderful and absolutely delicious omakase dinner here. The chef is so talented and detail-oriented. He made our meal so special and fun, and he's so funny! The interior is very simple, no frills, which I like. Better to pay for great food than fancy decor!

Tiny spot. INCREDIBLE SUSHI. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and had just missed the lunch rush. All counter seats had been occupied as well as the tables in the adjoining room, clearly a popular spot. The menu is extensive and there were some unique items like the tuna dumpling, which is a must try! We also ordered fried shumai, maki rolls and sushi. I was simply blown away by the freshness, quality and flavors of everything we tried. The chef clearly takes pride in every single item thats crafted. This truly is a hidden gem and I can't wait to come back. Its on the smaller side so if you are a larger party or here for omakase, would highly recommend calling in. Plenty of parking available.

I was really excited to try Mojo since it has such great reviews, but unfortunately I left feeling a bit dissatisfied with both the food and the service. I honestly don't like leaving negative reviews, especially for small restaurants, but I also believe in being truthful so they can improve. I understand that these days it's difficult to hire enough staff, but I also believe that treating employees with kindness is the key to building a strong team. I don't speak Japanese, so maybe I misunderstood the situation, but it wasn't pleasant seeing the chef scold the server harshly for accidentally delivering a plate to the wrong table. Considering there was only one chef and one server handling three tables plus delivery orders, I could understand the stress -- but still, the attitude came across as unnecessarily rude. As for the food, it was okay, but nothing that really stood out. The rice in the nigiri had an odd flavor, almost like it had absorbed smells from the fridge, which made it hard to enjoy. The dishes I was most excited for -- the wagyu and fatty tuna -- were also disappointing, as both were unexpectedly tough to chew. I truly believe this restaurant has potential, but it needs improvements. Hiring more staff would make a big difference, as two people simply can't handle busy service smoothly. I hope they take this feedback as constructive criticism, because with some adjustments, Mojo could really become the great place it has the potential to be.

My very first omakase experience and I had a great time! The restaurant is super cute, small, and cozy. The sushi bar is very small and limited spacing for omakase... and they have a couple tables inside. They have more seating outside. When I went there was also another party doing omakase so the chef was making rounds for all of us at the same time. It was a very busy day that day but everything was very fast and presentable. Every item was super unique and refreshing. Great quality sushi and nicely prepped. The chef was very nice and friendly. We had a great time here, but I did leave hungry and wanting more. It was too good!

I've had a number of different omakase experiences over the years in Boston (e.g Umami, No Relations, O Ya, Uni, Cafe Sushi, Zuma, Ruka, Laughing Monk, Momi Nonmi, Ebi, Purple Shell) and this is probably my overall favorite spot for omakase in the area when considering the balance of the price, the quality of the fish, the rice, and experience. The omakase is currently priced at $90 for 14 different courses (12 pieces of nigiri, 2 cold appetizer/refreshers, plus a free miso soup) in which the experience lasts about a little over 1 hour. I loved that a number of the fish that they served were directly imported from Japan and that I was able to taste the natural fresh cleanliness of the fish. This was very much appreciated and important to me given that i personally think that the fish itself should be the center of attention and not all the additional unnecessary glitzy jazzy add-ons which may sometimes overpower the fish itself. The Hokkaido sea urchin here was also very delicious! If you order this a la carte, they will only charge you $8 dollars for this which is an absolute steal considering the quality that you are getting. I love sea urchin and I've easily paid 2-3x more for this at other restaurants and they were nowhere as good. I left here very happy and will look forward to coming back!

Highly recommend with praise. Chef Allen and Yoki are friendly quirky and sweet. This hole in the wall is inviting and sophisticated serving elegant omakase! Everything on their menu was fresh and delicious!
