Spicy fusion maki combo
Brian W.

Stopped by here for a quick takeout lunch on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised at the quality. I've walked through Washington square week after week and hardly noticed this little restaurant off the main square, but I will certainly be returning again and again. I got the Spicy Fusion Maki Combo and I will happily return here again and again because of how great it was. Spicy Fusion Maki Combo - $15.95 (spicy tuna roll or spicy salmon roll, shrimp tempura roll, California roll) - First, $15.95 for three rolls AND miso soup is unheard of in this day and age - what a great price. And while you don't get to choose the three rolls, the ones that this combo comes with were really great. I'm normally not a huge California roll or Shrimp Tempura roll person, but both of these were above average. The California roll had a good ratio of ingredients, the avocado was fresh, and it had nice crunchy fish eggs on the outside layer, which isn't always something sushi places do. The Shrimp Tempura had the same fish roe, and the tempura was crispy and fresh - there was hardly any greasiness and it feels like this restaurant changes their oil frequently. And then the spicy tuna was delicious - it had large chunks of tuna mixed with the spicy mayo and tempura flakes. Some places give you a mush of everything mixed together, but you can really see the individual chunks of tuna in this one. The family who owns the place was really friendly, the food came out quickly, everything was absolutely delicious, and the price is so so so good. They also have a 3 spicy roll combo for a good price as well. 5/5 I will definitely be back!

We went here for lunch (around 12-1) on a Sunday Holiday weekend. Street parking is available nearby. Sundays were free, but for weekdays download the "Passport" parking app and get the zone and space number off of the meter for the easiest way to pay. Look for the red awning on Washington to find the restaurant easier (see uploaded pic for storefront.). This is a mom-and-pop style local restaurant with very limited seating and a casual atmosphere. There are about three tables plus sushi counter seating (see pic). Consequently, do not come with a big group or else order take out. The in-store menu was different from that posted online on our visit (see menu pics). They have a pretty traditional Japanese menu for sushi and bento box/platter style items. Bento boxes may only be available on weekdays, call to check with them. On our visit we got: (1) salmon, tuna, and yellow tail sashimi, (2) tamago and unagi sushi, (3) seaweed salad (see pic), (4) teriyaki chicken, and (5) shrimp yakisoba. The sashimi was outstanding and better than many expensive upscale restaurants in terms of quantity and quality of the pieces of sashimi that they served. The sushi and seaweed salad were of very good quality. The shrimp yakisoba was just ok. The teriyaki chicken had a small portion, the quality of chicken was good, but overall, this dish was not very good and we would recommend not getting it. Like happens many times, we were hungry and forgot to take pics of most of our food. The service was excellent in terms of how nice the people are who work here and how responsive they were. However, the lady who took our order did not write our order down and either did not hear or forgot put in our order for seaweed salad. Once we let them know about this, they were very apologetic and got it out to us right away. Overall, we would highly recommend this place for sashimi and sushi, but the platter, bento, and other items may be hit and miss. So, if you are in the area and want sushi/sashimi, then definitely give this place a try.

Spicy Maki mix (salmon, tuna, yellowtail), shrimp tempura maki
Apex S.

Consistently good! That's how I would describe Super Fusion. It's a no frills joint. You think of takeout sushi, and this place comes to mind. Fifteen minutes and your order is ready. We've ordered multiple times now. I don't believe they have an online ordering system, but it's super easy to call and place your order, takes a minute at the most. We've had the spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and a couple other rolls - they've all been tasty. A special mention of their vegetarian roll, the Hawaii one, which has mango, banana, avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese. Don't knock it till you've tried it! And thanks to the many many Yelp reviews recommending the Beni Toro Banana, we ordered it and enjoyed it. I never thought salmon and banana fried in a ball, drizzled with sauce could be so good - and especially that sauce, yum. The next time you want a quiet night in, watching a movie, and you wonder "sushi night?", Super Fusion is your place!

Rolls
Hebe L.

Th food was nice! There are lots of food to pick!! We were very full!! The rolls are very creative!! I enjoy the pepper beef tataki, very well seasoned! The chef let us know that the Uni is not fresh so they need to cancel our Uni order. (That's good, I tasted bad Uni at other restaurants before, it was an awful experience) It's very small inside, can only fit a few people. The bathroom is quite hmmm interesting lol.

Green Monster Maki
Nicolai B.

Was in the area and decided to stop by. I was the only customer at the time and was helped immediately. I started off with ordering the crab Rangoons and miso soup. The miso soup was good. The Rangoons have their own special take on them and we're absolutely amazing and would definitely recommend. Huge portion for what you pay. I also ordered the green monster maki after it was recommended to me. It's a spicy tuna roll and was a super fresh and great roll. Will definitely be back in the future.

Assortment of salmon and tuna rolls!
Michelle C.

This is a spot that me and my husband frequent as a "go to" for our sushi fix. The quality is always fresh and the rolls are always adequate in quantity (there's nothing I hate more than skimpy sushi rolls!) The restaurant itself, however, is very small, consisting of possibly 4 or 5 two-top tables and a bar seating 3 or 4 people so if you're coming here on a Friday or Saturday night you are far better off ordering takeout. Nonetheless, high quality sushi, good service, priced right--come to sate your sushi cravings!

Sushi lunch special - very sad
Jin C.

Pretty decent sushi but also nothing to shout about, despite the sad and faded accolades from 2013 on their storefront window. I had their sushi lunch special and it was three pieces of nigiri and a California roll. They only do takeout and delivery now.

Brown belt

Really great sushi. I got the Brown Belt combo - very fresh fish in all. Tiny, unsuspecting place but very worth the try. Great service.

Top 2 rows: Unaavo Maki (eel, avacado) Bottom 2 rows: Fusion Maki (shrimp, eel, fried sweet potato)
NIkky G.

Service: no smile, below average. Cost: Comparable to JP seafood, the two rolls came out to under $15 with tax. Interior/decor: below average Sushi: The rolls were prepared fresh. It's better than getting it from Wegmans but not as good as JP SeaFood Café. The fusion Maki had way too much sweet potato. And you can't taste any eel in either maki. Would possibly get takeout again if we are driving past it and hangry but wouldn't make a special trip for it.

tuna ball
Michelle C.

this place is TINY...there are only 4 tables in the whole restaurant + bar seats, so thankfully, I was there so early that it wasn't a problem. The place has hole-in-wall feeling and definitely needs a face lift. I've eat at the Watertown location and loved it...Brookline location has a smaller menu but the food was pretty much the same. I had the tuna ball which was good, but compared to Watertown....Watertown won. The rolls were fresh and good, but as my friend pointed out, they weren't rolled tight enough.

Sashimi lunch special. "2 biter " pieces
Shaun L.

This is my new go to sushi place! I hace had my fair share of sushi joints and this one met my needs. The prices are fair and the sushi is great. My buddy and I just finished our workout and decided to get a healthyish lunch, but wanted to try a new spot. It was a saturday and they still had their lunch special running so we took advantage. My friend ordered the salmon teriyaki, I got the sashimi lunch, and we split 2 rolls. The 690a Maki and a newer Maki that had salmon tuna and yellow tail with tobiko. My friends salmon looked alright, was a fair size for a lunch special but didn't look anything special. My sashimi lunch was excellent. They were what I call "2 biters" and the quality of the sushi was quite fresh. The lunch special was 12 bucks and you get 7 pieces of salmon tuna and yellow tail. I judge places on the quality of their salmon and it passed the test with flying colors. The rolls were stuffed with big cuts of fish and enough rice to hold it together but not too much where you feel like you're eating a ball of rice with some fish. The 690a had scorched salmon on top of a spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna roll is made fresh to order, I was impressed. Alot of places premake spicy tuna, they assemble it to order. If you are looking for a good date spot, this is not your place. The ambiance is comparable to a Chinese takeout restaurant with 4 tables a 4 high top chairs and the sushi bar. If you're looking for good sushi at a fair price, this place is for you. You can get the same quality sushi as fugakyu down the street but at a better price point.

Have been hearing about their Mon & Tue AYCE, so went on to try it a month or so ago. With what…read moreseems to be a recent price increase, now $50++ allows access to a good variety of sushi/sashimi, on top of apps, ramen, poke bowls, and cooked rice/noodle dishes. Whereas $80++ offers diners a set of amount of uni, plus unlimited amount of everything else, wagyu included. Sounds like a good deal, especially when one can eat a lot. Even as we are no longer Team Eat Till You Burst, we went for the premium, mainly for the nicer cuts such as toro and wagyu, and because uni!! Jumping in shortly after 5pm, we were promptly seated, marked a bunch of stuff on paper, and soon after submission, we got food brought to our table. It was a decent meal overall, so why 3 stars? Let's recap. Menu variety is fantastic, though of course we didn't get "one of everything", coz that's simply impossible. While the premium did cover a lot of grounds, it would have been nice if they also included anago (sea eel) which is currently only available on the a la cart menu, and maybe even offer couple lesser-known items such as monk fish liver app, sea grapes, off-the-beaten-path fish cuts, what have you. Would be happy even if we only get an allotment of those like we do with the uni. Now, service - great overall. Servers circulated around and were alert of customers' needs. Approached at appropriate times to take our order sheets, refill water, provide new order sheets, and ask if we wanted more food. So kudos on that. Their denotation of serving "regular portion" of cooked food had us hesitant in ordering, since we didn't want to be wasteful (or use our limited stomach space for dishes we can easily get elsewhere). But from other tables' orders as well as the one noodle dish that we ended up getting, it seems that the portion size was what I would like to see at AYCE places -- about 50-60% of regular Asian dish size, where 3-4 people can each have a couple bites "just to try". However, to think if that is what they call "regular portion", then it is definitely "Brookline pricing" on a la carte, which I would not recommend one to do such things on these items. Food is fantastic in general; we got a variety of stuff, and everything was really of top quality and taste. The meal would have been a "highly recommended" if they didn't serve the uni that we got. Out of the 12 pcs of uni sushi, all of them were... while not "foul" to a point where one cannot safely consume, they were definitely more sub-par than "ok but not great". Colors aside (which I understand there can be a range depending on origins and such), the uni was a "splat" of yellow stuff on rice, without distinct shape of the flesh. On top of the fishy smell (I'm talking about slightly ammonia-ish), the presentation and taste-texture upon them hitting our tongues... really left the ENTIRE room to be desired. In retrospect, we should have sent them back even if they weren't going to replace them. But instead, we stupidly forced ourselves to shove them all down in cowardly silence, then ordered another round of wagyu just to make us feel a little better about it. Yes, we weren't smart as customers. But if the restaurant is going to charge $100++ per person (after tax and tip), someone from the kitchen should have known better than pushing this thing out for customers to deal with. In their defense, yes, the uni itself was still "edible" in a sense that it didn't make us sick, but I'd maintain that better judgment should have been made. Once the shell was cracked open and you see this pale-gray yellow mush, it should have been decided that it is better repurposed, than be served straight to your customers as your star/featured product. As seen in other diners' experiences, it could just have been a one-off mishap, so I'm not knocking them entirely. But I do hope the restaurant would improve on their QC accordingly. It was such a disappointing low point in an otherwise wonderful meal.

I've ordered delivery from here so many times, and my first dine-in experience did not disappoint…read more We got here on a Friday evening without a reservation and were seated with no wait. The menu is so large and varied (sushi, izakaya, noodles, Thai food, etc) and yet every item is done so well! We got the teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu, yaki ika, and unagi and cucumber roll, and every item was fresh and delicious. Our orders were taken and served quickly, our waters were refilled regularly, and prices were normal for the area. I would definitely come back to try even more of their menu items!

Miraku Boston is a ramen-focused Japanese restaurant in Brookline that centers its menu around rich…read morebroths, carefully prepared noodles, and a small selection of appetizers and sides. We walked into a cozy, understated space that often filled up quickly, giving it a lively but still relatively calm dining atmosphere once we were seated. The room was warm and functional, with a layout that kept the focus on the food rather than the décor, and the steady hum of conversation added to the comfortable energy. The main draw here is the ramen itself, especially the broth-forward bowls like shoyu and miso variations. We ordered a few different styles and found the Yaki Shoyu and spicy miso standing out the most, with deep umami flavors and a layered richness that built as we ate. The sesame ramen was also a popular option for its nutty, aromatic profile. When everything was hitting well, the broth was the clear highlight and felt like the reason to come. The noodles were a bit more divisive depending on preference. Some bowls landed perfectly, while others felt more standard or less fresh compared to the broth, which could slightly affect the overall balance of the dish. Because of that, the experience tended to be strongest when we stuck to the core ramen offerings rather than branching out too far into appetizers or rice dishes. Service was generally friendly and efficient, but the restaurant could get busy during peak hours, which might lead to a short wait before seating. Once inside, the pacing of the meal was smooth, and the atmosphere stayed comfortable enough for a relaxed lunch or dinner, even when the dining room was full. The staff moved through the room with ease, and the food came out without much delay. Overall, Miraku Boston is a solid ramen spot in the Brookline area that does best when focusing on its strengths: rich, flavorful broth-based ramen bowls. It is not overly experimental, but when the kitchen is on point, it delivers a satisfying and comforting ramen experience worth returning for.

As this was limited pop up, we did wait about 1-1.5 hours to be able to get inside and order the food, but it was a relatively organized experience. We got sat at the bar at the side where the waiters/waitresses entered/exited which was mildly annoying and flagging them to get more water was a little hard as well. I didn't order the limited bowl as that's not usually my choice of flavor for ramen broths but I got to try it. It was very mild and had a nice taste but still wouldn't be my go to order. For myself, I got the spicy miso which was nice and flavorful. My friends also ordered the Takoyaki and the Zangi Fried Chicken which were both good. For dessert we also ordered the Monako Ice Cream and Hojicha Chiffon Cake. The Hojicha Chiffon cake didn't have as much flavor as I would've liked and the ice cream that came with it, kind of just overpowered it, should get hojicha ice cream with this one to taste more hojicha.

I got the spicy chicken karaage onigiri and did not regret it. I also got the matcha latte, which was really good. And I respect that they serve Ogawa Coffee, a Japanese coffee. So based.

It was the Asian-American community's go-to spot for dine-in, take-out, or both! This was back when they had their location in the Lesley University food court too - people would be lining up for 30+ minutes to get a coveted seat at one of their humble seats.

I really enjoyed my visit to Gen sou en! I think it's relatively popular place to hangout and go on…read moredates, etc. they don't have wi fi so I guess it's not really a study spot.

The hojicha latte was very strong and tasted amazing. It wasn't sweetened much, so I guess you can really taste the hojicha! I think it was very skillfully made. Also tried one of their onigiri. You get the onigiri at the cashier when you order. Not sure what happened but the first person I talked to didn't give me one when I ordered. I had to go back and talk to them to get one. The braised pork and egg is quite good and almost tastes like fish roe as it's so rich and tasty. The interior is spacious. But can feel a little cramped or difficult to get around it.

I probably would have loved it in my 20s. They do have a room with tatami mats & exposed brick with the vibes I was hoping for, but a woman is talking and gesticulating animatedly in there, and at another table there's a toddler, whereas the tables on the floor are ironically much quieter. Maybe I'll check out that room next time? I get the establishment isn't responsible for patrons' volume or meltdowns. They have signs asking you not to stay more than 90 minutes...which I find fascinating, as the ambiance doesn't lend itself towards lingering. Nonetheless, 4 stars because I really enjoyed my first iced Houjicha Latte. In the future, I'll take my drink orders to go.

We were tired of sitting in traffic after leaving Boston Logan so we just picked a random exit and…read morea random restaurant for quick snacks and drinks! There was plenty of street parking when we arrived, however does look like it could get pretty busy. The restaurant was so pretty! I loved all the finishes and the design! It is a very clean establishment. There are private little dining areas which was my favorite! Inside the dining space is a call button you can press when you need service. The food was good! We weren't expecting much, just needed a snack and get back on the road to get to Worcester, I would recommend it for tourist like myself.

Awesome ambience! Bright and clean, great use of space with booths that are almost completely…read moreenclosed with a little curtain even so you can easily converse. There's a button on the wall when you're ready to order. We came for lunch after enjoying the Isabella Gardner museum, and didn't have a reservation but they had no problem seating us right away at about 1 p.m. today. We ordered the honeycomb appetizer plate, several spicy Sapporo miso ramens, a chicken shoyu, a beef shoyu ramen, and a Korean kimchi ramen. Our server was helpful and conscientious, making sure my brother's request for non-dairy was complied with, while still giving him options/alternatives. We're still not sure why the trend of adding butter to ramen broth became popular (although I do like butter). The Sapporo miso ramen was savory but didn't really taste like miso, it tasted like smoky chili. My kimchi ramen was wonderful, exactly what I expected. The chicken and beef shoyu ramen had delicious mellow broth, so they added the sauerkraut pepper provided on the table (plus shichimi and cayenne pepper) to taste. Overall, super satisfying!

Had a chance to dine here for dinner with a girlfriend. Reservation is a must otherwise you might…read morenot get a seat. It's a small restaurant with bar seating and 4 tables. Everyone is seated facing the sushi chefs. We were served 15 courses, one extra course for July 4th celebration. Normally it's $99 for 14 courses. I was impressed by some of the flavors of the dishes at the beginning. The nigiri's served the second half felt repetitive (similar fish and tastes). It's definitely a good dining experience. Dining time was from 6:45pm to 8:30pm. They have 2-3 dining times a night. Definitely a good place to try omakase!
