Miso was pretty standard and forgettable. The maki roll is big. Seven of the pieces came topped with the exact same scallion pepper sauce. It was mostly salt. That made all seven taste identical (for the price, they should have done more to make each piece unique). The three pieces with different toppings were delicious. Scallop was smoky, the eel was great, and the salmon belly topped with chili oil was the best bite. Bathroom: Single stall bathroom. It is an older building, but it still could have been cleaner. Decent spot if you prioritize leaving full, but not a place I am in a rush to revisit.

When we first walked in, we were pretty taken aback by the ambience and the way the restaurant…read morelooked. The set up didn't feel inviting and it was dark and not in a good way. 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 the Agedashi Tofu and Ginger Eggplant, and both absolutely blew my mind. Both of them for just me was way too much, ended up bringing fully half home (and i think the eggplant was even better the next day). And the cocktail I got, a pear martini, was one of the best I've had in a long time. Fresh, yummy, and very strong! It was very busy, so I'm glad we made a reservation. Even with only four of us, it was loud enough that it was hard to hear the conversation at times. I don't think it would have worked well for a larger group. Overall, highly recommend, and I will be back!

I ordered the spicy beef udon soup, and while the noodles were cooked really nicely with a great chewy texture, the soup itself wasn't very spicy. I also tried a few different rolls, but they were pretty average and nothing particularly stood out. Service was also a bit slow during this visit. Overall, it's a convenient spot with a great location and parking, but my latest experience was just okay compared to previous visits.

The best sushi I've had in Boston. Hands down. I am not exaggerating, my partner and I dream about…read morethis sushi all the time, and we've unfortunately started comparing our other sushi experiences to this one. Soba is also really good. Everything here is really good, but I highly recommend the nigiri - while it's a little pricy (standard pricing comparative to other restaurants), it is well worth it Service is quite fast and we felt like we were taken care of. One time, the server took the soy sauce bottle away from one table without warning and gave it to us, and then proceeded to do the same to us. However, in this rare case, the food quality and taste overpowered the service issues. Inside is lively, and cozy. They also have outdoor patio seating in the summer, which is lovely as well. This is a restaurant I wouldn't mind coming to over and over again.

Everyone was friendly and attentive, and overall we had a nice experience. Would come back when I'm craving ramen!

After a long day at HBS we went back over the river to dine at Bosso Ramen. Located across the…read morestreet from the Harvard Commons, Bosso is an izakaya-style restaurant featuring ramen. On a wet, rainy Boston evening we thought hot ramen would be just the thing. The menu is built around locally-sourced ingredients structured in three categories: sharable, sushi, and ramen. They also offer a slate of Japanese beers and Nihonshu. We started with hot Nihonshu but the only choice served warm is Gekkeikan. Now, Gekkeikan is a standard Nihonshu which is a good, if not great, rice wine. And while Gekkeikan started in Kyoto, anything served in the US with its label is actually brewed in California. We wanted the Nambu Bijin served warm but were told that was not an option. Nanbu Bijin is a great varietal from Iwate Prefecture which was our preference. It's odd that this is only offered chilled. We really urge the management to serve all of its Nihonshu warmed. For shareables we ordered the shishito, spicy salmon, and torotaku. The shishito were nicely roasted and served with a light ponzu. The quality of the peppers was eceptional and the serving was generous. The sushi is served as a hand held wrapped in nori and features tsukemono. The spicy salmon was an amply portioned but the torotaku was a bit lean in terms of quantity. Having said which, all three apps were tasty and of superior quality. Bosso offers a compelling number of Ramens that differentiate not on broth, which is customary, but on degree of spice and the choice of meats. The broth here is a superb tonkotsu that would pass muster in Sapporo. Bosso also offers just one size which, in the event, was a more than satisfactory serving. We both opted for the umami version which is generously portioned with scallions and kikurage. The boiled egg was done to perfection - that happy place between a hard and soft boiled yolk. The pok was tasty but was wanting in terms of quantity. Each bowl included two very thin slices. At the end of the day, a great ramen should have more pork - either chasu or kakuni - so we found this to be a disappointment. Our server is from Shizuoka and we enjoyed hearing of her journey from Japan to Cambridge. She was attentive without being obtrusive. The interior is dark and practical and somewhat reminiscent of some of the great hole in the wall ramen shops we frequented in Tokyo. Overall, despite some blemishes, Bosso was an enjoyable meal and we will definitely make our way back in the future. It is busy so we recommend making reservations.

The sake collection is excellent, and reason enough to go. The sushi is still very good but the nigiri is garnished with toppings like umami cherry and mint or house preserved yuzu. This is done beautifully but it causes the fish to be deemphasized. Little details like uneven cutting of a maki roll didn't impact the taste but lessen the beauty and the art that is sushi. For non-sushi the cabbage and the five-spice chicken were both amazing. The tomato zuke, a house cured hothouse tomato nigiri was very cool but make sure to use a little soy sauce. Final judgment - the space, the service, and the sake are all great. The sushi is very good but not as good as I remember and of course it's more expensive than it used to be.
