Dont come to this place. I ordered salmon bosso signature roll which was $28. It was 6 rolls of cucumber roll, not salmon, and spoonful of diced low quality salmon on top. I dont think i ever had such a dissatisfying dinner in boston and this will be my first experience actually getting mad having to pay for this trash. Place like this should not survive on newbury street. Never coming back
This was such a disappointment. They offer AYCE sushi only on Sunday afternoons (1 PM-6 PM), and I absolutely would not recommend. It's $49 per person and several items are at additional cost, such as an extra $3 per piece of unagi (eel). There are other sushi spots that are much more worth your time. When new customers arrive, the staff loudly announce their entrance. It feels like an attempt to replicate Yume Wo Katare's signature moves, but ends up creating an incredibly disruptive ambiance because customers aren't all seated together. It definitely cuts into your enjoyment of your meal and feels out of place. The AYCE menu is mostly nigiri with a handful of maki options, and it shows - the quality of the fish would never stand on its own as sashimi. In fact, most of the cuts of fish are less than ideal. My top preferences were the salmon and yellowtail, but the tuna was mediocre enough to be unconvincing to someone who really loves tuna cuts. Even more intriguing was the rice in the nigiri - while tasty, it was poorly formed, often falling apart as soon as you lift the nigiri from the plate. For someone who frequently eats sushi/nigiri, I was shocked that the quality of the preparation was consistently so poor, across multiple orders. The one redeeming quality was the service. For a restaurant that limits you to ordering only 6 pieces per round (probably to limit how much you can eat in one seating that is limited to 70 minutes), our server was pretty good at staying accessible so you could put in the order for your next round. I highly recommend either spending a little more for an omakase experience (Akami), or getting AYCE for cheaper (Yamato II).
Ambiance is very clean, dim, and classy. Staff is friendly and efficient. We got the bosso signature maki with tuna, the nigiri sampler, and the uni udon. The bosso signature maki was great! Lots of flavor and very yummy. Overall a bit pricey for what it is, but still an enjoyable meal.
People need to stop sleeping on this spot and give it a go. I've been to Japan a few times and have had some of the best sushi omakase meals but around Boston...nothing great. This spot is incredible and I'd love to come back. We had: Bosso's Omakase Nigiri (such good variety) Standard Tokyo Nigiri ( great!) Chicken karaage (good) Black cod with miso (so good)
Sushi by Bosso did not come to play. The 13 piece Bosso's Omakase Nigiri had me questioning all my life choices (in a good way). Every piece felt like the chef was personally trying to ruin all other sushi for me. From buttery toro to briny uni to that perfectly torched eel; each bite hit like a plot twist I didn't see coming nor want to end. The Black Cod with Miso? Cod bless this sushi joint, the dish was absolutely unreal. Sweet, caramelized glaze on the outside, and inside it was fall-apart tender, buttery, and straight up addictive. Like if dessert and dinner had a baby and it went to culinary school. We went at 5pm in the middle of the week, so it was easy for us to grab a patio table without any reservation. The vibe changes towards night time from chill to a more fun and intimate environment. This is a sign for you to go try them out! TL;DR: I'm emotionally attached to this meal.
We came in on Mother's Day , trying to spend quality time with my children, good ambition environment, fresh food ingredients, friendly service, just a little pricy . I would come back for special occasions.
This place opened around the same time as sakabayashi, another sushi spot in Newbury/Copley. It would be easy to pass by with the shops stacked on top of each other along Newbury. The inside is dim like a lantern lit experience. The menu is handwritten, which I've never seen before, so it gave a personal touch to it. I was here for sushi and sushi only so I went with one of the sushi sets. Sadly, the quality of the fish did not align with what I was expecting. A lot of the places put wasabi between the rice and fish but the amount they put in my option overpowered the flavor of the sushi. I was very curious about the dark miso soup so I got it and that was extremely salty, I couldn't finish it. We also got the potato salad which looked like a goofy goober sundae and had some curry on top. They were nice enough to give us sushi and dessert free of charge which was a kind gesture on their part as they saw I was taking pictures of my food. They were also very accommodating for my friend who had a shellfish allergy in working on how they can tweak the sushi set she ordered. My favorite thing was the ice cream. You put a hojicha sauce on top which just felt like putting oil on it so I was confused but it gave an extra flavor to the ice cream which was already very rich. Not sure if the mochi was made in house but that was really delicious. Also random but I love a nice bathroom and their bathroom was small and petite but has a sliding door which I loved.Interesting new spot in Newbury but the food didn't hit like I thought it would.

What a rare and incredible sushi experience on Newbury! I love the focus on nigiri's and sashimi's because it really brings out the quality of the fish! The miso salmon was top tier, but the wagyu skewers were sadly overcooked. I loved that we got to sit in the patio (go before it gets cold!!) This is such a staple sushi restaurant and I definitely will be back
The restaurant location is unassuming on Newbury Street, but I love the blend of coziness and chaos once you step through the doors. The service was excellent, and our waiter was friendly and funny. This might not be the best place for a work meal (at least not during the Friday dinner rush), but it is a great place to catch up with the girlies! When it came to the food, I can't say I was impressed by everything we ordered. I was not impressed by the nigiri I tried from the omakase set--it felt mushy and slightly too fishy. That said, I thought the consistency of the rice was great, and it was the perfect amount. I found that the black cod got very heavy very quickly, so you may want to split it with others. I see why the potato salad is the staff recommendation--it was a perfect mix of creaminess and crunchiness, and it was definitely my favorite item we tried that night! Otherwise, it's hard to go wrong with the chicken karaage. For drinks, my friends ordered an Aviation (which they described as lemon-forward and refreshing) and a matcha drink (which they described as tasting like an espresso martini with chocolate and a sprinkle of matcha on top).
One of our fav sushi places in Boston! Service was very polite and the place felt very homey yet upscale. My favorite was their mackerel pressed sushi -- seriously addicting! Their omakase set was also a good way to try each type of nigiri. Really great high quality fish. Their dessert was also amazing! Definitely will be coming back again.
This was a really good experience! The restaurant is dark. The servers/waiters are super sweet and nice. They were super helpful with the menu. We had a reservation for 8:15pm, but they were accommodating with seating us earlier at the bar. There were 4 of us. We ordered the daimyo jumbo maki, fatty tuna maki, bosso's nigiri and signature sashimi plate. The miso soup was a dark brown rather than the typical lighter miso color. The fish was all fresh and of high quality. Everything was tasty. The makis were the best part of the meal!
I've been to this restaurant twice now and tried their omakase menu as well as their Sunday all you can eat nigiri deal. Both times I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish as well as the generous fish to rice ratio of their nigiri. Many all you can eat sushi places like to pack a lot of rice in their nigiri but Bosso does not do that and they make sure to present the fish as the main star of the show. We also ordered their matcha espresso martini which was very delicious! The staff are very friendly and accommodating and welcome every single customer that walks in. Would definitely go back again especially for their Sunday all you can eat menu!
Beautiful interior with sake bottles adorning the shelves and relatively quiet when we went. Our server was friendly and, in true Japanese fashion, announced our arrival to the kitchen who shouted in acknowledgment. Although we stuck to the safer basics on the menu, including the sushi and black miso cod, each dish was done well and for a reasonable price. The sushi was fresh and flavorful and we ordered hot sake to pair with our meal. I recommend the mackerel pressed sushi which was satisfying, and reasonably priced as an appetizer. One thing I disliked was the fact that they charge $5 for a bowl of white rice (which we ordered to pair with the black miso cod). That is an unreasonably high price, and was a glaringly stark difference compared to the other menu prices. I hope they consider adjusting that to $3.50 or $4.00 (at most) moving forward.
Food was amazing, the potato salad was done so well, the sushi and sashimi were all generous portions and incredibly fresh, and the staff were all very kind. It's a small cozy restaurant on Newbury with all hand written menus and a very authentic feel. Recommend going for their all you can eat or à la carte, some of the freshest and best sushi in Boston! read more
Not impressed. There is an all you can eat sushi experience on Sundays. Quite a few items have an upcharge. The fish was OK. It had me wondering if they run this deal on Sundays when the fish is ready to be discarded soon. I won't be returning. For a spot on Newbury street it was surprising. It felt more like something you would find next to a college where students are seeking a cheap and easy sushi meal. $200 for two people with tip. It was not worth it. Not coming back. So many other great spots for sushi and at this price point I want better quality read more

Wanted some good Japanese food during our trip to Boston and it was surprisingly not that available near us. They have a bosso ramen tavern in Cambridge which we wanted to check out but saw this sister place was closer to us. Ordered: - wagyu sushi (9/10) - nigiri combo (7/10) - karaage (9/10) - edamame (4/10) - miso soup (4/10) - matcha warabi mochi (7/10) My fav was definitely the karaage! It comes with a sake mayo which paired perfectly read more
Was craving sushi and passed by this "hot and new" gem. So happy I went in because I'll be back for sure!! Sat at the bar area and ordered an Aviation cocktail and Bosso omakase nigiri 13pc. I wanted something light for dinner and this hit the spot. For someone who dislikes eel, uni and ikura, I still wanted to try the set anyway and wow, I was surprised that the uni wasn't as fishy as I thought it would be. The uni was good here!! Normally I hate it so I'm glad this place surprised me! I told the owner(?) and he was saying something about it that now I forgot heh oop. Fruit-fly memory. Drink is strong enough but not too strong where you drunk you know what I mean? Lol Only thing Ill say is the drink menu is hard to read when the letters are vertical but I get you were trying to go for the japanese style of writing vibe maybe? Lol The vibes are here for sure. Date night or solo or with friends, you'll be guaranteed a cool vibe. Service is great here too. Friendly people. They greet you when you come in and leave. So cute! I'll be back!!! For another round of omakase and maybe a dessert next time! read more

Best meal my girlfriend and I have had in a long time. The owner was our server and he was extremely kind & thoughtful with our whole experience! We were greeted with a complementary matcha green tea (the good stuff) while we looked over the menu and was topped off throughout the night. We proceeded to take all of his recommendations for a tasting of his favorite dishes! Fantastic night, amazing atmosphere, fairly priced, & authentic as it gets. Thank you!! read more
I came here for lunch with some friends on a Saturday and we got there at a good time with no wait because it got packed soon after! It is a small restaurant on Newbury St so there will probably be a wait if it's packed. I got the omakase nigiri set and I thought the price was so worth it! The fish was super fresh and a decent size nigiri! I was definitely full afterwards! One of my friends tried the signature sushi maki roll and they were huge! It was also good! We also liked their desserts! I especially liked the warabi mochi! Their alcoholic drinks are unique and pretty strong as well! This is definitely a good spot to stop by if you're shopping on Newbury St! read more

Really wanted to like this placed and was excited to try but execution fell very short. First starters the matcha espresso martini is simply an espresso martini with matcha powder on top not shaken or incorporated at all. Furthermore the sushi did not feel like it had been prepared recently, the fish was quite dry feeling. And worst of all many of my pieces had so much wasabi I was in pain. My friend had less but even he had 2 pieces that were caused his eyes to water. I'm a fan of wasabi but there was clearly an issue with maintaining the same amount on each piece. The octopus carpaccio was delicious but it simply wasn't carpaccio, it was chopped into octopus (in a tasty sauce) but carpaccio would be thinly sliced. The vibe was small but nice. Service was fine but not super attentive or knowledgeable. The drink menu could use work. Overall, pretty overrated and overpriced. read more

Great food on Newbury st! They serve Omakase nigiris 13pc for dinner, 11pc for lunch at $38 and $37 respectively. Dinner comes with miso soup and lunch comes with miso soup and salad. Both come with matcha mochi which were freshly made and so delicious! Fish pieces were not as vibrant in color compared most other good sushi restaurants but that might be because they choose fish without (much or any! coloring added. I'm not entirely sure. Fish options for the omakase dinner included sea bream, ikura, uni, squid (one of the best i've had!), unagi, salmon, fatty tuna, regular tuna, marinated tuna, yellowtail, jumbo shrimp, scallop and omelet. Rice was also not too much which I appreciate. Also ordered the potato salad which is one their signature. Comes in a bed of fried onion. Potato salad is made with boiled eggs, pickled vegetables. Not too salty or sweet. Service was wonderful. Our server was very kind and friendly. Tailored to our needs well! The interior is a mix of modern, class and Japanese styles. Very clean space and comforting yet upbeat music. read more

Very friendly staff with fresh ingredients. Assorted Sashimi plates: the variety of sashimi was very fresh. I really enjoyed salmon, scallop, and yellow tail. The only trouble I had was eating tuna belly (toro) as it was really tough - the fat and muscle part was not fully separated. Black cod with miso: very tender and savory. It was so soft and juicy, and want so well with miso sauce. Mandarin jelly with whipped cream: was labelled as signature so ordered but pretty disappointed as the combination did not work well. The mandarin pudding was too sweet with the cream being also sweet. I was hoping to try different desserts :/ Other than that, the staffs were very friendly and the overall vibe was great! read more

Stopped in for lunch, wonderful omakase nigiri plate for $38! Nice variety of fresh fish and uni. Would have preferred a little more rice under the fish but that's personal preference. Paired it with a glass of sake, just wonderful. They opened a month ago and have wine, beer, and sake. Limited rolls, seems to be more traditional sashimi and nigiri, proper sushi if you ask me ;) read more

Much lower quality fish than had hoped..don't be lured in by the handwritten menu or affordable (cheap) omakase special. The sea bream was bruised red and rubbery, and the fatty tuna was oxidized brown (upper left corner). The $5 slice of pizza across the street was better! Pretty horrendous overall. read more
Found this spot while walking down Newbury on a Saturday night. I was solo for dinner and easily got a seat at the bar. I thought the handwritten menu was charming. The service was quick and the fish was fresh. I thought the restaurant was nice and would make for a cute date spot. Would come back again. read more
