    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 !

    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)

    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.

    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.

    Got takeout from here and it was excellent! It was quick and very fairly priced. The inside was cute and I defiantly want to come back and dine in. I was greeted when I came in to pickup my order and I got the red dragon maki and soup and both were phenomenal.

    i adore oppa sushi. this is my favorite take-out sushi place, a reliable good. they have great specialty rolls and they come at a good deal. i've actually never sat in and ordered food here, only take out and this is the thing i look forward to the most after a long week. i pretty much always get the crazy maki, and mix it up with other special rolls.

    Sashimi deluxe
    John Y.

    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.

    Sake Don
    Eugene W.

    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!

    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

    Pink lady roll
    Della S.

    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.

    Has anyone made a reservation here recently? I tried to call earlier but the number didn't go through for me.

    Hi ,We have an interest in dining at your place tomorrow for dinner. We have two questions: one is there parking and another, do we need a reservation before we get there? Thanks!

    I am so sorry for the late response, but we only have street parking nothing we own. Reservations are recommended especially on the weekends!

    Do you still offer live uni from the shell?

    Unfortunately not at the moment. That is a seasonal item available around March-May. We have boxed uni at the moment from Chile.

    There are meals you remember because they taste good, and then there are experiences that change…read morethe way you think about food. Three 1 One Omakase was one of those experiences. It introduced me to new textures, flavors, aromas, and, most importantly, a deeper appreciation for the culture behind the food. From the moment we arrived, Chef Wei, his wife Carrie, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere felt intimate, as though we had been invited into someone's home rather than a restaurant. Every detail felt intentional, from the minimalist design and calming ambiance to the subtle aromas throughout the space. Learning that Three 1 One was originally a one-bedroom apartment made the experience even more meaningful. The evening reminded me of a trip to Phu Quoc, Vietnam, where local islanders welcomed my fiancé and eight friends into their home to share a meal prepared from that day's catch. Coincidentally, there were ten guests gathered around the counter at Three 1 One, just as there had been ten of us in Vietnam. In both places, strangers came together over exceptional food and genuine hospitality. That feeling stayed with me throughout the evening. My fiancé and I celebrated our 11th anniversary here as we began exploring Michelin-starred restaurants together. After traveling throughout North and South Vietnam, where his family is from, we returned with a renewed appreciation for food and the stories it tells. We were excited to discover such a thoughtful Michelin-starred restaurant so close to home. The 19-course omakase felt like a journey. The opening truffle sea bream with mizuna and sudachi sauce awakened the palate with bright citrus and earthy richness. The Kegani Hokkaido hairy crab with dashi jelly and tomato dashi mousse became my fiancé's favorite. Once mixed together, it was creamy, savory, delicate, and refreshing. His reaction said it all: "Wow." The tako (octopus) with house-made sweet soy sauce highlighted the natural flavor of the seafood beautifully, while the Tokobushi somen with abalone, wheat noodles, yam, okra, and cold dashi became one of my favorite courses. It was refined yet bold, layered with umami, and unexpectedly reminded me of the haenyeo women of Jeju Island, whose tradition of free-diving for seafood gave me an even greater appreciation for the ingredients. Another standout was the Amadai Uroko Yaki (crispy-scale tilefish). The contrast between the crisp scales and tender fish created a texture I'd never experienced before. Along with the abalone course, it was one of the highlights of the evening. The Aji horse mackerel with ginger, chives, sesame, and nori provided a refreshing transition before the sushi. The sushi alone deserves its own review. Every piece reflected remarkable craftsmanship and precision. Watching Chef Wei prepare each bite was part of the experience itself. The rice was beautifully seasoned, and every ingredient felt balanced. My favorite piece was the uni (sea urchin). It was incredibly smooth, rich, and almost buttery. My second favorite was the Hokkaido hotate (scallop), with its delicate smokiness, sweetness, and juicy texture that left me wanting another bite immediately. We also tried selections from the additional menu, along with a pear-toned sake that paired beautifully with the meal. More than anything, what stayed with me wasn't just the food, but the feeling of the evening. It was an experience built around craftsmanship, hospitality, culture, and sharing a meal with others. Thank you to Chef Wei, Carrie, and the entire team for making our 11th anniversary unforgettable and for giving us such a memorable first Michelin-star dining experience. We look forward to returning.

    This was my first Omakase experience, and I honestly don't know how anything will ever top it! From…read morethe moment you walk in, the atmosphere is personalized and incredibly welcoming. We went through 18 courses of the freshest, highest-quality fish. Chef Wei's precision is amazing to watch, and the progression of the meal was perfectly paced. He is truly an artist! If you have allergies, they are exceptionally accommodating. I have a crab allergy, and they didn't just skip the course, instead they prepared a thoughtful, high-end substitution so I never felt like I was missing out on the full experience. While it is a splurge, Chef Wei ensures you get your money's worth through the quality of the ingredients and the flawless service. An absolute 10/10 for a special occasion!

I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!
