Post work one winter afternoon, I stepped into this cute and quaint sushi bar in Porter Square,…read moreCambridge and ordered some of my usuals including, a salmon sushi roll, miso soup and this pristine presentation of an avocado salad. . Like most of the Japanese food I've had the pleasure to eat in my lifetime, the taste was cool and refreshing. I love contrasting warm and cold foods while I eat so I would eat a piece of sushi and then usher it down with a spoonful of miso. The small portions always fill me up without making me feel heavy. I think it's a silent art of Japanese cuisine; being satisfied without over indulging. . It was quiet and mostly empty when I came to dine so service was efficient. This place is great for a first date or a quick lunch.

Why this restaurant? Because it's the only Japanese restaurant near Harvard Yard (not really that…read moreclose) that's open before noon... so the decent food was a pleasant surprise. The Raw Fish Mix (Soy Pepper) : Madai真鯛 (sea bream), Buri鰤 (yellow tail fish), and avocado on the inside, and salmonサーモン, maguro鮪 (tuna), tobikoとびっこ (flying fish roe), eel sauce, and spicy mayonnaise on the outside. If the thickness isn't enough, the variety makes up for it; eating four kinds of fish in one bite was quite satisfying. You can clearly feel the different sashimi刺身 pieces rubbing together in your mouth, and the rich, oily flavors bursting forth. The spicy mayonnaise wasn't actually spicy; more importantly, it was more sour than regular mayonnaise, not cloyingly sweet, and it actually cut through the greasiness when paired with the avocado. The tobiko and eel sauce were less noticeable. It's worth mentioning that the restaurant even provided hand-ground wasabi山葵 with their sushi takeout! So thoughtful!

Their cocktail is also also yummy and better price than a lot of bar. Don't forget to try their dessert. The place can get quite busy with a long wait. So true to make reservation or join the waitlist. I have been following Ittoku from Allston to Cambridge as it's the only one authentic izakaya in Boston so far.

It looked pretty run down and like the owner didn't care to give too much attention to the space. If you're looking for an authentic omakase restaurant, this isn't it. Respectfully, I realized they learned their craft locally, rather than in Japan or from a Japanese sushi chef. From experience, I personally prefer the contrary because it does in fact taste different. Most of their fish are not sourced from Japan, but locally. Whenever served miso soup as the first course, I immediately know this will not be the experience I was hoping for. All the fish courses were more on the tangy side and it didn't seem to pair well with the fish. The best thing I had was probably the dessert, which was a matcha panna cotta. The service provided by one of the sushi chefs was excellent though. I don't remember his name, but it was the Chinese guy. I'm very expressive when I eat, even when I try to be discreet, it unfortunately shows on my face. He was very attentive and I believe he noticed I didn't enjoy the first few courses and over the 2 hours of our reservation, he tried to keep me as satisfied as possible by giving me more of what I did like. The 3 stars is because of him, or else I'd be giving it 1 if based solely on the food and ambiance. I guess for the price, you get what you pay for. 18 courses for $168-$178/pp is pretty decent considering most omakase restaurants are $250+. Still, I don't think it's worth it because my partner and I left feeling nauseous and hungry still (which is pretty normal for us lol). Unfortunately, taste wise, this is at the bottom of my list of "omakase" restaurants but service wise, it's good. So tread carefully if you're expecting an authentic experience/omakase.

I got two rolls for just under $20 and the fish was fresh and paired well with just wasabi. Only comment is the spicy tuna wasn't what i was expecting just because there were tempura bits which isn't necessarily bad it was just different. Their unagi roll was also good but it was nothing special. Seating is any open table in the building. Sometimes they staff are in the back so I'd just try to get their attention before ordering. You just use the kiosk to order so this is a very food court like set up. Worth a try if you're in the area and craving sushi and want to get some food from a local spot.
