Great mom/pop restaurant. Food was excellent, a staple in the community! I got the hamachi kama, wings, and a few rolls. All were very tasty. read more

This spot has a cool, underground vibe that makes it feel a little hidden and unique. The service is impressively quick -- you're in and out without much wait. The food is decent, but compared to other sushi restaurants I've tried, there are definitely higher-quality options. The Bruins Fire Maki (pictured below) was visually striking and definitely brought the heat -- something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to spicy food. read more

Oppa Sushi - Fire Bruins Maki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was one of my single favorite experiences in Boston. Me and my friend came two nights in a row and ate our weight in sashimi. They were so kind and didn't make fun of us when we struggled to open the door, and he remembered us when we came in the next day and was excited to see us. Truly so sad we could not make it work to go a third night. I would go every night if I lived here. Please give them your business so that they will be thriving when I visit next. I only got the one picture but it was perfect read more

Oppa Sushi - Sashimi Deluxe Red Dragon Maki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Takeout was great, super fast, got a California roll here last week. Owners were so kind!

I've walked by this place for years when I was attending college, and we finally decided to check it out because of a sushi craving. We got a chirashi and a hwedupbap to go and both were pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of eel but their eel was done well. It is a little bit run down looking inside, but service is friendly. It's definitely not a high end fancy shop, very Korean mom and pop feels. read more

Have been wanting to try this restaurant for ages. Oh man, the wait was worth it! Cutest space, and friendliest staff. Had a definite Japan vibe, and heard Japanese customers thanking the staff respectfully while I was waiting for my takeout. Cash only! Got one of the special rolls- the Celtics roll. It had shrimp tempura inside and cucumber, and torched salmon and avocado on top. Also got some inari, which is one of my go-to rolls at any sushi place- sweet tofu skin roll. Comes with miso soup and a can of soda. Felt warm inside, like a neighborhood place. I snapped some photos of some of the specials I noticed- which must make it fun, and shake things up day to day. read more

Cute spot for lunch. It's pretty dated, but cozy and the owner was by himself when we came for lunch. The sushi is great price to ratio and very filling. Ofc we went for the flaming bruins maki, the baked scallop maki, and the red dragon maki. Now i must say majority of the maki have shrimp tempura in it as a base with various tuna and salmon etc on top. Great flavors and he's generous with the portions. The sashimi was fresh and large slices! The agedashi tofu needed to be heated more but the owner made that right real fast! Thank you for that! Overall this isn't a super fancy, super high end priced spot. If you want good flavors fresh fish and at a good price, come support him! Will be back! (3.5/5 overall score imo) On side note there was a "sewer-y" smell down there which was a bit off putting but not sure if it was the space, the old building or the street somewhere. read more

Over the years, I have heard great things about Oppa Sushi in Allston. Oppa Sushi is the epitome of "hole in the wall". Located in a basement setting, it has a little bit of a run down aesthetic, but exceptional sushi for can't be beat prices. One time a few years ago, one of my friends and I were planning to try this place out, however, I did not make it down the stairs because I could not get over this sewer-like smell. Fast forward two years later... I finally decided to visit (there is still that sewer like smell but I really wanted to try the fire bruins maki). We were greeted by the owner upon walking in and we were served miso soup right after being seated ;) For food, we ordered the sashimi appetizer, agedashi tofu, fire bruins maki, red dragon maki, & the patriots maki. **the rolls are super generous & filling! I enjoyed the rolls & sashimi appetizer. My favorite was the one with the imitation crab & scallops. I do not believe that one is "baked" because it did come cold, which is all right, but an observation. Most of the rolls here have tempura included with the exception of a couple. The agedashi tofu we ordered unfortunately was served cold. We notified the owner and he was able to heat it up for us, no problem. Our experience here is really a 3.5/5, but the owner was very nice & kind ;) This is a good place to go for fairly priced sushi; very generous portions, the rolls are huge ! read more

I've been to Oppa Sushi a few times now and there's a reason for that! The food is great and fresh! Prices are fair and is not something I would complain about. The atmosphere could be better. The restaurant is literally like in a basement. The tables and chairs felt cheap and there wasn't a whole lot of seating available so plan ahead if you have a big group. We tried a variety of rolls, one of which came out flaming which was definitely cool! FOOD: 8.5/10 SERVICE: 7.5/10 (nothing exceptional) read more

Our experience: We have been excited to try this place for a while!!! Entered down the stairs of a dark restaurant that looks run down and slightly dirty. Very much in need of a makeover. We are seated at the back in the corner going up another random uneven step again. We are served water only after we ask and the cups are face down at the table. We pour into what turns out to be a dirty greasy cup smelling like peanuts. We ask to order, and about their toro nigiri, we are how much and end up being charged double what originally told.. We ordered tea that never came and ended up asking for our order to go just to be able to go home to eat it. The food: very mediocre. I've had comparable sushi at an all-you-can-eat buffet. The toro was some of the worst I've had, poorly cut and not the greatest taste. I personally wouldn't recommend this place until they get their food, service, and ambiance in order. read more

This was such a cute hidden gem! The service was great and the owner was precious! The prices weren't too bad either, I recommend checking out their combo menu! read more

I was skeptical based on the aging exterior of the restaurant, and the homey interior of wooden tables and two separate rooms didn't change my first impression. On the other hand, my guest and I had first-rate sushi rolls and enjoyed every bite. We ordered the Patriots Maki, Red Dragon Maki, and California Maki. It was fresh, it was tasty, it was colorful, and every roll held together well. The complimentary miso soup sang with umami and soy. I would've ordered more but it was only lunchtime and we had a big dinner planned. If I had to note some negatives - yes, the rice is juuuuuust slightly less starchy than you might want, and more vinegar might bring things into balance. But these in my book are not enough to warrant taking off one star. Moreover I'm just no fan of using QR codes for menus on my phone. There is a 5% surcharge for credit cards (definitely on the high end!), so bring cash. read more

I ordered sushi here for my family...I don't eat sushi, however. As such, I can only tell you this little hole in the wall offers great service and has a pretty broad menu with cooked/raw foods. I ordered the sashimi deluxe and its about $40 and came with 2 very small miso soups. The family seemed to enjoy it. We've been here before a few times, so that must mean we enjoy it. read more

I was desperate to have fresh sushi without having to interrupt binge watching season 3 of The Witcher. My wife reluctantly agreed and made a run to OPPA on Harvard Ave in Allston Ma. While I hadn't been there before we ordered from Yelp and didn't have to wait at all. The California Roll with Maki, Gyoza (steamed dumplings) and other sides were all tasty and fresh. The price was low for the quality of food and service but I'm not complaining! If you are near Allston you will want to give this place a try! read more

The sake-don bowls are $27.50 for 15 pieces of salmon. Pretty good price for fresh-tasting salmon. Their sushi rice is a little underwhelming, which docks them a point to 4. Other than that, I have no complaints. We ordered takeout and the pickup process was very smooth. I would definitely come back! Even though we only got sake-don bowls, their a la carte sushi prices also look fair. I hope to try their sushi sometime! read more

Oppa Sushi - Sake Don - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Just tried delivery again, forgetting that I had actually tried it before. This time I'm making a note to make sure I don't do it again. They packaged raw fish rolls in metal to-go containers next to multiple hot miso soups. The spicy mayo sauce on one roll tasted like grocery store thousand island dressing. I really don't write a lot of reviews but just yikes. All this on top of just being not very good quality to begin with. read more

So cute! Reasonably priced and I had a great tempura roll with tuna on top, will definitely bring my boyfriend back here

Service was friendly Food was nice Rolls tasted amazing with right amount of sauce Forgot the name but sth that's with scallop and shrimp read more

I ordered their spicy roll combo ($18) which came with 8 pieces each of spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, and spicy salmon. Whereas the other sushi places I order from will mix the fish with spicy mayo, the rolls here were plain but topped with spicy mayo instead. The rolls tasted nice but were small. I also got the mango madness combo ($35) which came with 3 rolls: pink lady, french kiss, and salmon mango harmony. The pink lady roll is a soy paper roll with salmon, avocado, cream cheese, mango, and tobiko. I personally prefer nori rolls instead of soy paper rolls. The combination of avocado and cream cheese in the roll made it have a very creamy texture-- this could be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. I wasn't too big of a fan. The french kiss roll had cream cheese, avocado, and mango inside, then was topped with thick cuts of salmon and tuna. The fish was fresh and thick. This roll was pretty similar to the pink lady but I preferred this one because it had nori and the fish-to-everything else ratio was much higher. The salmon mango harmony roll had salmon and mango, topped with more salmon and mango. Probably the best of the three rolls in terms of flavor (maybe I just like simple rolls?), but the rice was very thick on this one. The rolls were barely filled. The mango in all the rolls was on the crunchier side. It was sweet, but was fibrous rather than soft. The combos came with miso soup as well. I know things get complicated with delivery and sometimes food cools down but this miso soup was so cold I wouldn't be surprised if it had been sitting on the countertop for an hour. I liked their spicy rolls but I wouldn't recommend the mango rolls (unless you're just a really big fan of mango). The prices are good for what you get, but the rolls are on the skinny side. While everything tasted good, I was disappointed by the cold miso soup. read more

It's taken me a long time to find my favorite sushi in Boston, and this is it! It's so good I had it twice in the span of four days. We first came here on a Saturday night, with the wait being about half an hour. You can enjoy some boba from the nearby Tiger Sugar while you wait outside. The restaurant is partially underground and cozy. You know you're going to eat some authentic Asian food when they have you sitting essentially in their storage supply area. Our server had initially forgotten about us, but the heart-shaped sushi that they brought out to us made up for it. We ordered the Oppa maki, red dragon maki, and super crunch maki. They were all incredible! Super flavorful, with the perfect ratio of toppings. You can tell that the fish is good quality too. For the three maki, it was about $45 pre-tip, which is a great price for how full the two of us were! I'm super picky about sushi, because I often feel like the price isn't worth how hungry I am afterwards. At Oppa, I can assure you you're getting your money's worth!! read more

Oppa Sushi - Oppa Maki, Red Dragon Maki, super crunch maki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Let me start by saying the service is great, and the reason I'm giving a 3 star review is purely due to personal preference. Service is great - servers are always so friendly and welcoming. They give good recommendations. Ambience - great ambience. Cute decor inside. Cute hole in wall setting. Lots of seating too. Food - good sushi if you're into sushi rolls that are on the "heavier" or "denser" side (more sauce, more condiments, more flavoring) and less on the fish side (personally, I feel like the sushi fish flavors get overwhelmed or covered by certain sauces like their spicy mayo, eel sauce etc). This is not to say that all the rolls are like this! If you get for example a rainbow roll or a roll without all the sauces or flavorings on top, it probably tastes on the "lighter" side of things. Again, this is purely a personal preference but I still think it's good sushi at the end of the day. I just left feeling super full and felt like they go heavy on the sauce (eg spicy mayo) read more

Whenever I'm craving special sushi rolls and am looking to be so full I can barely walk, I order the five special roll deal for about $60 something to share for 2 people with some leftovers. HITS.

Fantastic sushi spot in Allston! I got take out to celebrate the end of 2020 and it was just the perfect way to end the year. We ordered the 5 roll special which included: Crazy Maki, Super Crunch Maki, Rainbow Roll, Frenchkiss Maki, and Patriots Maki. All 5 rolls were fantastic and packed with fishy and shrimp goodness. I love fried oysters so had to get the kaki fry and it was just SO good! It was a 20 min drive back home so I expected the outside to be a little soggy but the fried oysters was still crunchy! You can't go wrong with any rolls here! Every one of them is so creative and yummy. The staff is friendly and it's easy to order online. read more

Basement level restaurant that started off in the first room and eventually expanded out to the other side of the building not long before Covid 19. I really hope they make it through Covid, its a great non-descript korean sushi restaurant with a very friendly staff. Their special rolls are delicious and price fairly and their sushi entrées are worth the price. Post-covid, I am looking forward to having the Korean omakase. You need 4 people because there is just way too much food. Just pace yourself. What makes Korean omakase unique is the whole flounder sashimi. The first time I tried it in Korea, I was not a fan but when I tried it again at Oppa, I thought it was great! Also enjoy it with some soju. read more

Oppa Sushi - Big party boat. Feeds 4 maybe five (but a stretch). A wide variety of sushi and a big ball of seaweed salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My friends and I came here for the first time because of a Thanksgiving special offered from their Instagram page. It consisted of 7 makis, 2 edamame's and 5 miso soups (they kindly gave 6 so each person could have one) for $100! All of the sushi's tasted delicious and fresh! Barely even needed the soy sauce on the side. The makis offered was patriots, Celtics, super crunch, baked spicy scallop, spider, red dragon, and rainbow French kiss. My favorites we're definitely the Celtics, super crunch, baked spicy scallop, and spider. The rainbow French kiss was probably my least favorite. Miso soup was slightly watered down but still a nice started prior to sushi. We also ordered fried soft shell crab, fried calamari, and takoyaki for more appetizers. Both the soft shell crab and calamari had a satisfying layer of tempera batter on it, tasting great! The takoyakis were served hot and fresh. For additional entrees we shared the beef bulgogi noodle soup and spicy seafood noodle soup. Both portions were huge and enough for our party of 6 to share both. The bulgogi beef tasted sweet and smokey with a flavorful broth. The spicy broth was definitely manageable in heat level. Loved the ramen offered in both dishes. Overall, great experience from a locally owned restaurant. Definitely will come back and support their business. An incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. read more

Oppa Sushi has fresh and generous servings of sushi & Korean dishes. But the most unique thing that Oppa has going is Korean style sashimi and family style meals. The latter requires a minimum of 4 people and it's course after course of delicious delicacies from salmon and tuna sashimi to squid salad (also available as a separate order - they have conch salad too!) to trays of fresh of whole white fish sashimi (available to order separately and comes with cucumbers, seaweed, lettuce, sauces & jalapeños to make delicious ssam wraps), ankimo (monkfish liver), hamachi collar, shrimp tempura, flaming roll, takoyaki, spicy ramen, & spicy fish stew. At the end of the day, great sushi but also so many delicacies you won't find anywhere else in Boston. read more

I have been here 2x and can confirm that I am in love. This place has some of the best quality and best tasting sushi that I've ever had. Also, the prices are reasonable. This place is quite small, but I did not have an issue getting seated right away the first time. The second time I ordered take out. My first visit was with 2 friends. We tried the French Kiss maki, Mango Harmony maki, spider maki and sashimi plate. Highly highly recommend the sashimi. It was melt in your mouth delicious and so fresh. The rolls were also delicious. My favorite was the French kiss, then mango, and spider roll being the least favorite. Our sushi came with miso soup which was yummy too. My second time was via take out. I ordered 3 spicy maki rolls, mango harmony and fresh kiss again since they were delicious. We ate all 5 rolls. We never eat all of our sushi. 10/10 highly recommend this place to everyone I talk to. read more

Favorite sushi spot! Have no idea why it took me so long to try it. I've had takeout and dine in, both equally great. Scallop roll is my go to! Large pieces of scallops perfectly torched.

A standout for Boston sushi, ticks all the boxes: fresh, top quality, and flavorful. Some of our favorites: Appetizers *Fried oysters (super juicy with a perfect shell) *Takoyaki Maki (=6 pieces, w/ avocado=8 pieces) *Eel (unagi) *Yellowtail (negihama) *Salmon Special rolls *Spider roll or Soft shell crab Sushi * Mackerel (Saba) * Salmon *Toro I would personally choose these above the Tuna, Spicy crunchy salmon, and Patriot maki--all delicious but just like the above better. I think that's a really personal preference though. One last thing: based on all the great reviews, we'd like to try the shrimp tempura or shrimp tempura maki next. read more

Such a cute hidden gem!! It's located underground, but the sign is pretty clear so you can't miss it. A charming, cozy spot for your Japanese and Korean craves. They also play old school Korean music so you're getting that chill vibe as you eat- so cute!! I asked our waiter which sushi roll he preferred of the two options I gave him and he went with the FIRE BRUINS. It was packed with flavor I didn't even really need soy sauce, but I love dipping just a little bit out of habit. We got a mix of their special rolls and other makis too! Amazing quality and taste. I rec trying the ALLSTON MAKI- it wasn't shaped like your average maki roll, it was almost like a mini pizza. I'm really excited to go back next time to try the other fun makis. We also ordered CHEESE CORN for the table and it was GOOD. Love the smoky flavor from it, definitely try this combo if you haven't yet. It's always a staple for me! This is THE place for your Korean and Japanese cravings!! I love that they carry both cuisines and offer numerous different options. I almost didn't know what to order because it all sounded soooo good. Definitely going to start being a go-to place! read more

Oppa is a hole in a wall sushi spot (which is how you know it's going to be good). The ambiance is very simple and reminds me of a classic sushi takeout spot.

The Black Sea bass is my recommendation. It was fresh, deep and charred well. The soft shell crab appetizer and Shishamo was well done as well! The shishamo were all female fishies, packed with eggs!

This place is all around good. I ordered hand roll special but substituted the tuna for extra salmon avocado due to dietary intolerance. Rolls were good. Recommend to eat in, while the nori got a little moist on way home. Flavour was good. Price is very good. Interior of restaurant wasn't horrible. Seems definitely divey. I just expect restaurants to be tidier. Two separate rooms are available for dining. Waited 15 mins for a couple of hand rolls on not a busy night. Friendly staff.
