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)

Sushi & Sashimi Combo
Masha S.

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.

California Maki with Tobiko, Patriots Maki, and Red Dragon Maki
Dan D.

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.

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.

Red Dragon Maki
Gloria M.

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.

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

Oppa Maki, Red Dragon Maki, super crunch maki
Emma E.

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!!

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.

I have friends in Boston who have insisted that I get over to The Daily Catch in the North End…read more Oh. My. Word! This is one of those places that you remember forever. There are maybe five tables in the entire place, and you feel like you're sitting in the kitchen with the chef. A pro tip I've discovered is to arrive early for dinner--maybe around 4pm--to beat the long line that will grow outside. I cannot say enough about the freshness and quality of the food. Our group had a few small appetizers which were excellent, but the real treat was their daily swordfish special. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, other than "wow." So much flavor packed in this dish. Wine is served in regular plastic drink cups alongside fresh bread. You really do feel like you're sitting right in the middle of a great Italian kitchen. It should be noted that this is a cash-only establishment; so plan ahead. This spot is a Must Visit if you find yourself in Boston's North End.

This location was easy to find parking along Harvard street at a meter. We arrived at their 4pm dinner open time and they said give them 10 minutes so we ended up at the new blank street location right next door. Once in and seated, our waitress was great! Marathon Monday vibes all around town. We took a seat in the window nook. My lady loves squid ink pasta and it's different than Japanese style (doesn't stain your teeth haha). We ordered + fried calamari + mussels siciliano + aglio olio We started with the complimentary bread, with olive oil, crushed red peppers and Parmesan! The calamari was next (my must order anywhere i go to taste). Light batter fried (didn't just fall apart thankfully) nice light and crispy. The squid was fresh, not cooked rubbery and tasted great with the marinara sauce (nice hint of spice). Now i wish the portion was a tad bigger but it was yummy. The mussels is the ladies go to, for an appetizer. It came out HOT, with a lemon white wine garlic sauce. Super tasty, mussels definite shine through without the sauce/broth overpowering the natural flavor of the mussel. She finished that up quick and i had a taste myself and agree with her assessment haha. And finally the Aglio Olio, squid ink pasta with minced squid and garlic. This was a perfectly balanced dish, came out HOT be careful of the pan. The pasta and squid just melted together so well. The caramelized butter/garlic with bits of minced squid just had you scraping the pan at the end to make sure you inhale them. Great meal for two. Very satisfied. (Give us another couple ounces of fried calamari and it'd be perfect!)

Honestly, everything was so tasty and flavorful, plus the portions were huge for a terrific price! I was so excited for my leftovers the next day. They were super accommodating and provided great recommendations as well. The pasta sauces were incredible -- my friend ate the bread with the sauce and said it was heavenly. Major shoutout for the great service provided by Jimmy as well, he was so friendly and caring! It made this meal feel extra homey. (He even packaged my pasta to go for me to make sure I didn't spill on my dress I was wearing). Definitely recommend giving this spot a try and supporting a small business!
