A shocking find! Was curious about their sushi burritos and ended up getting the Salmon one. Really good stuff--a delicious, filling pairing of fresh salmon and stellar ingredients. The only detriment was the mango, which I found out-of-place. Got a side order of Scallion Pancake, solid as well! Beautiful packaging too like others have mentioned. Easily worth a trip! read more

Poke bowl was amazing might be the best I've had! Tasty excellent fresh fish! Will return and highly recommend.

These poke bowls are THEEEE BEST. We have ordered poke bowls from a handful of places and legit Sunny Cafe is miles above the rest. I also really love their chicken yakisoba and gyoza. The food is always fresh, carefully packed and beautifully prepared. We have not dined in so I can't speak to the ambiance, but the delivery is always perfection. read more

BEST POKE BOWLS I EVER HAD. FRESH, TASTY, AND AFFORDABLE. I got double salmon in my bowl and the portions here is way better than anywhere else. They don't try to overfill the bowl with all the other toppings and they really just focus on the protein, which is how it should be! Home to the best poke bowls I ever had in Boston. I hate to share this because I don't want other people to find out about this place but it needs to be done. They also have an expansive menu and creative items like a burrito out of scallion pancake which sounds really good, that I have to try next time! It is a small cafe with very limited seating but it is a very pleasant and quiet cafe. This is a great find! read more

The service was quick, and the sushi/fish was very fresh. It's a cute little spot on the corner, so I'd recommend if you need a quick bite or want to pick up some food to go! read more

The place is small but this place is quite popular. I ordered everything for takeout. Tuna and Salmon Bowl--there is generous amount of food. They definitely didn't skimp out on the fish which I love. There is a lot going on in the bowl but I didn't think the flavor meshed that well. Overall this was okay. I'm interested in making my own bowl next time. Salmon Burrito--Packaged beautifully. This burrito was really good. I would order this again. Perfect ratio of ingredients to rice. Teriyaki Chicken Bowl--This taste homemade, big chunks of chicken. If you had Sakura Japan before this is different. I thought it was okay the teriyaki sauce was a little off for me. read more

I thought this would be a sunny, happy experience, but it wasn't really like that. I stood at the door, waiting to be seated for over 10 minutes, looking at empty tables. A man had seated a group ahead of me, then walked away without acknowledging me. Finally a woman came from behind the espresso machine to give me a table. The menu selections were standard, nothing amazing. All the food and drinks came out in dingy, plastic plates and cups. Not impressive. Service was spotty by the 1 man waiting on tables. Not sure I would go back. read more

Felt so refreshing, greeted at the door. I was given space to look at the menu, didn't feel rushed or intimidated by cashier. Answered my questions and the food was prep at a good pace. If you love edamame You must try their spicy kind. The shrimp tempura was so fresh and NOT oily at all. Washed all this down with a bubble tea. Absolutely my new favorite place in East Boston. Forgot to take pictures of the food too delicious to not enjoy freshly made. read more

This is a hot spot for takeout orders, and I understand why. It's not easy to get a parking spot in the area on a weekday night, but we snagged one and placed our order in person. The spicy edamame definitely has a kick, and my husband loved the sushi burrito. The ramen was just ok for me, but with a menu this big, you're definitely sure to find something you love. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered takeout for dinner via door dash. Our meal came an hour earlier than expected! I ordered a sushi burrito with tuna, salmon, edamame, seaweed salad, carrots, and eel sauce! The packaging was adorable and the burrito, itself, was DELICIOUS! The fish tasted very fresh and it satisfied my sushi craving perfectly! The burrito didn't hold together well, though. It fell apart right after I took my first bite, so it turned into more of a sushi salad. I had a great experience and would definitely order from here again - probably not a burrito next time. read more

The food here is good ! It's a great place to stop by quickly to get a bite to eat , their staff is very friendly . Totally recommended !

I was pleasantly surprised with this place! I ordered an avocado roll with tempura flake, a side of spicy mayo, and 2 boba thai teas for my boyfriend and I. Take-out service was quick and easy, although I definitely recommend ordering at least 20 minutes in advance. They package everything up neatly in a to-go bag, including drinks! My roll was so yummy-- the tempura flakes on top were a satisfying addition and their spicy mayo was perfect! Unfortunately the boba was sub-par to me, not very soft/sweet, but the actual thai tea was pretty good. They have a good amount of options for vegetarians when it comes to rolls. The only thing that would really impress me would be if they added tofu to their menu! A tofu appetizer or teriyaki bowl option would be amazing! I am definitely going to come here again for sushi the next time I want a quick and easy meal :) read more

Really good sushi! I got Missou soup and a sushi. Good portions and quality! Really good portions and fresh! Next time I'll go back for the Thai tea read more

Lunch today was AMAZING thanks to Sunny Cafe! I trekked all the way here from the end of the red line since I saw an article on Eater on this new sushi spot! This place is right next to the Orient Heights blue line T stop so it's not hard to find at all. There are tons of options to choose from: traditional nigiri / sashimi, rolls, poke bowls, sushi burritos, and even teriyaki items for those who want something hot. I got the make your own burrito and was pleasantly surprised to find toppings that aren't very common in the spots in Boston: spicy tuna, avocado with no upcharge, fresh mango, teriyaki chicken, bbq eel, honey wasabi sauce and more. The burrito (or poke) is $9.99 if you want to make your own, with some custom burritos that are more or less the same price ($9-$11) if you can't decide. I got my burrito with spicy tuna and eel and it was so tasty. I love that the spicy tuna is pure tuna and spicy sauce, because almost everywhere I go, the spicy tuna is mashed and loaded with tempura flake filler which is such a disappointment. Sunny Cafe does it right with awesome food, kind and friendly staff, and great prices! I will be back!!! read more

I order take out from here once a week for the past 3 years and they are amazing every single time!! Absolutely love this place and highlight recommend read more

This place was already an expensive meal to begin with due to it being a sushi / Poki bowl experience, so you are guaranteed to get a tasty snack, but have a get a second meal later in the evening. What I find annoying is that they recently changed the option of adding a side of Tobiko (little fish eggs) from being a garnish to a protein for $3. Ridiculous. read more

This is our go to spot if we're craving sushi burrito! Consistent quality and their fish is pretty fresh. It's usually pretty quick without a long wait as this is more of a take out spot. The best part is they don't charge extra for toppings such as mango and avocado as most other places do. They are generous with the protein and toppings. The best sauce combo is the spicy mayo and wasabi mayo. It may not look like a lot in the container/box, but it's enough for a post workout meal. They spend a lot on the packaging and nothing leaks out/through the boxes. They also have smoothies/shakes (using fresh ingredients vs powder) if you're craving something like an avocado shake. read more

Very yummy! I had the sushi burrito and it was enough for two meals. I got the seafood and had a mango green tea that was very sweet.

MUST TRY THE SUSHI BURRITOS. If you don't read any further that is what you need to know!! I love this local place because it offers affordable, fresh sushi. It is located at a busy intersection so it's easy to miss and there's limited street parking. Inside, there's limited seating so it's best to order to go. The employees there are always super pleasant and welcoming! Between my boyfriend and I, we ordered the salmon burrito, dragon roll & spicy grilled salmon roll with a strawberry banana smoothie and Thai iced tea. The sushi is made to order so it was super fresh! You also can't go wrong with any of the smoothies here. I love the Thai tea here because it doesn't taste too bitter or too sweet! ALSO, its better WITHOUT the bubbles, surprisingly. This is usually our go-to place for cheap sushi when we don't want to drive into Boston, so we definitely recommend!! read more

So glad to have discovered this little "cafe." The location is quite ideal for me as a commuter. A short block from the T, in a building connected to other establishments, facing directly in front of the main road... Definitely can't miss it. On my recent visit I opted for the chicken teriyaki dish along with a side of crab rangoons. I really enjoyed the crab rangoon. It was piping hot, right out the fryer, super crunchy, and the crab to cream cheese ratio was well proportionate. I even left it out on the counter for several hours and held it's crispiness. The chicken teriyaki was tasty as well. The dish came in box container that was approx 6x6, so just enough for one. One thing I observed was the cook. He prepared my meal to order, so I knew it was fresh. They do provide seating but is limited to a couple tables. There was even pop music playing on the loud speakers. Prices are very reasonable and quite affordable. Great for a quick bite! For those in a rush, I highly recommend you phone in your order ahead to minimize wait time. Much more efficient, as you could be waiting up to 15 minutes if physically placing one here.. read more

Great flavors and portions, best sushi in the area avoid the cooked stuff stick with sushi and bowls.

Take out is the key- get the enormous sushi burrito! Prices are reasonable and quality is excellent

What a nice surprise! In Eastie finding sushi or Indian is like finding the needle in the haystack. Sunny is actually the owner and chef at this little gem. She puts out delicious food and treated us with such warmth it was like visiting a friend who can really cook. I had the spicy tuna Poke bowl that was sensational! The rice was perfect, only a little sweet, perfect texture not too dry or too mushy. My wife tried her first sushi burrito. It came out in the most adorable box and was impeccably rolled and presented. She went with the salmon and ate as much as she possibly could. Another hit! My sons had a veggie caterpillar and a make your own bowl. My 10 year old found a way to eat an entire caterpillar by himself! And my 12 year old loved his bowl with teriyaki chicken and shrimp tempura. If you do a lot of lunch dates like I do you have got to check this place out. It is directly across the street from Orient Heights T stop. The price is cheap for the quality you get and the service will make you a regular customer. Mostly a take out place with only 6-8 seats but our seats in the window felt great sitting in the sun. Enjoy this Eastie gem. read more

As I was plotting to stop at this spot, after it randomly popped up on my Yelp feed while visiting Boston, it occurred to me that I am really, really perverse. Here I am living in a city that is arguably *the* arbiter of national food trends and I choose to try a Sushi Burrito for the first time hundreds of miles away. See, I told you I was perverse. No, not pervy, silly. Perverse: Anyway, am happy to report that my Sushi Burrito deflowering was an enjoyable experience (**wink, wink**). The $9.99 'Make your own Burrito.' that hubby and I decided to share, included, if memory serves, Spicy Tuna, Salmon, Cucumber, Red Onion, Seaweed Salad, Avocado and Edamame, plus Spicy Mayo and Honey Wasabi Sauce. And since I am a big fan of Poke, eating it enwrapped with a nori, aka seaweed, sheet wasn't a huge leap. This was definitely tasty, not to mention, gorgeously packaged. Fish was fresh too, though I wish there had been more of it and that the bottom had not leaked each time I took a bite. Though I don't have a point of comparison, I had no complaints about size (**wink, wink**) and feel like a whole Burrito would be plenty filling. A Word about the Space: It's small, so seating is VERY minimal. Hubby was convinced it wasn't being utilized to its fullest potential and that with a little ingenuity, more seating could be created. But I digress... A Word about Restrooms: Unless I missed it somehow, there is no restroom. You have been warned. A Word about Location: I am not at all familiar with this part of Boston, unless you count a long ago pilgrimage to Santarpio's for its amazing pizza, so you can take this with a grain of salt, but am not sure if I would travel out of my way to stop here. It was a schlep from where we were staying on the Arlington / Cambridge 'border,' and is located on a pretty desolate-seeming stretch, without a whole lot worth exploring nearby as far as I could tell. Oh yeah, the kid got an Avocado & Cucumber Roll, and a Bubble Tea. Though the $3.49 price was right on the Bubble Tea, it was overly sweet and dare I say, 'meh.' Surprisingly though, the Fries here, are great! Not entirely sure why they're even featured on the menu, but they are, and the very jovial owner (I think), brought an order out for us to try. Delicious. Bottom line: If I were a local and this place was easily accessible to me, I'd definitely come back. read more

I am lucky enough to live around the corner from Sunny Cafe. My partner and I order pick up most frequently although there are a few seats by the window. The place is extremely clean and the women who work there are some of the friendliest I've ever met (and I thought it was pretty cool seeing female sushi chefs! I have had almost everything on the menu including the bubble tea and YUM! Everything is so fresh and delicious. I love that their standard tuna and salmon rolls have avocado and cucumber. I also LOVE the shrimp roll. For an appetizer we usually get the gyoza steamed and they are perfectly sticky and flavorful. If you want something super fun try the sushi burrito! They are filling and delicious! Oh and wait until you see how they are packaged! You can pick from a few options or create your own which I usually do. If you are looking for fresh sushi from friendly people this is your spot! read more
