I ordered through a delivery app and I loved the big sushi platter. I order sushi quite a bit and I'd say this was fairly on par with the other sushi places I've ordered from. I would get it again, but I think I'd prefer all you can eat sushi elsewhere compared to the platter.

I was already probably not going to order from here again because the quality of the tuna in my order of tuna don was so poor (very "fishy" tasting and smelling; really no tuna taste came through), but then I found a hair in my rice. And you can tell it's not mine because it's visibly embedded in a clump of rice. I eat a LOT of sushi in the area and literally everywhere has been better than this. You pay for what you get

Ordered for pick up with grub hub/yelp. They prefer you to call in house for pick up. I was not notified that my order was ready, but grub hub said it would take about 40-50 min so I set a timer. When i went to the restaurant it seemed like they had been waiting awhile for me to pick up so maybe calling in helps get a better, accurate time to pick up. I ordered the lunch special with the station and boston roll. Both tasted fresh! They also gave me a serving of miso soup which I was surprised to get! Bonus points for the cute little soy sauce bays they include for pick up orders

Came in a on a quiet Monday evening. This place was definitely really intimate. Not really the place to bring a large group but definitely a good spot for date night with the lady friend. We ordered 5 different rolls (Philly, Cali, Dragon, Caterpillar and Alligator). They were all super delicious and the presentation was delightful on this small, wooden bridge (pictured). We would happily come here again!

This is my new go to for sushi delivery. Fish is always fresh, rice the right text texture and rolled to perfection. The price isn't that bad either

Bruins Maki Roll without the eel sauce (usually comes with eel sauce). Simple and delicious, all my fav ingredients in one!

Tried a different sushi place for my birthday recently and it did not sit well with me, but my experience with Sushi Today was thankfully a good one. I aimed for something simpler and what I'm used to, and they did not disappoint. I'm a huge salmon lover and I loved EVERYTHING I tried here. The Bruins Maki roll is salmon and avocado with shrimp tempura, all my favorite ingredients in one delicious roll. The food items I got were simple and basic, but delicious and made up for the fancier, double-the-price sushi I tried elsewhere. Will definitely come back again, might be my go-to from now on.

The best sushi I never had! The server is very nice to give the free soup~ The price is cheap same as 6 years ago. The sashimi is really fresh, I saw they handmade the sushi, it is looks very clean and healthy.

The gentleman friend and I came here for dinner when I requested a sushi date. My goodness did the place deliver. Reasonably priced for the market, good service and attention. Small and manageable. We ordered 5 rolls to share and I could have eaten twice that. So good. Also they delivered the rolls on this fancy bridge thing and I felt very cool. It even lit up.

Hadn't been here in a few years and got the chance to stop by. Everything was just as great as it had been before! Service was quick and polite. I had the maki combo and got tuna maki and salmon maki, which came with miso soup. Food was great! Perfect stop for a late lunch on a chilly Boston day! Just as a heads up to anyone who is disabled, it is up a flight of stairs, so it's not the most easily accessible place. I was able to make it up with a little help, but I wanted to let other handicapped people know. read more

Was in the Boston area recently and ordered Sushi Today via DoorDash. The food arrived approximately 45 minutes after ordering. The sushi was nicely packed and the bag was secured by staples. It included a few pairs of wooden chopsticks and soy sauce packets. Unfortunately, no napkins though. Ordered their Spicy salmon maki, spicy tuna maki, and california maki "maki special" for about $15.50. This was a good value for three different maki's consisting of about 24 pieces. Also, ordered a HakoTuna signature maki which contained spicy tuna, tempura flakes, tuna, avocado, and spicy mayo. This was made without seaweed so it was more of a sushi sandwich. See my picture. It wasn't bad but I expected the tuna to be spicy. We also ordered another California maki. The crab was just sticks of fake crab meat. I personally prefer the California rolls made with chopped up imitation crab mixed with mayo. A Togo menu was also included in the bag. read more

I ordered an order for delivery from here on DoorDash. The food took about 45 mins to get to me so not bad. I ordered the sushi & sashimi combo, which came with a miso soup. The miso was pretty disappointing with no flavor in the broth at all. I ended up not drinking it. The combo came with 5 pieces of sushi, 5 sashimi and a tuna roll. Again, everything was just okay. Not the best quality but not bad for randomly ordering delivery! I liked that I wasn't overwhelmed with how much rice was used in the roll or sushi. Overall just fine. I didn't love that there was pretty little variety in the fish that I got. I also got the spicy seafood salad. Nice flavor, just a little spice and creamy. Portion size was small and would've expected it to come with a little lettuce or something under the seafood mix but overall - pretty good. read more

Late night cravings, more like late night disappointment. Would not recommend, poor quality, small portions, it took about 45 minutes via DoorDash. I ordered: Maki Combo One - the spicy tuna filling was very dry with tempura filling, the tuna didn't seem fresh and overall it was so dry. The salmon mediocre, and the California roll was standard. The miso soup tasted different compared to other places, it was a little odd. Seaweed salad - alright, your typical seaweed salad Spicy Kani Salad - it was good, crisp cucumbers. Very mayo-y. Shrimp tempura maki - do not recommend, the rice was overly smooshy read more

For Boston - decent sushi and a tad on the smaller end for portions (or maybe we should have ordered more!). Quality was good but nothing mind-blowing - which is pretty normal for my experience in the city We got: - lemon tree (mango, shrimp, salmon, maki with avo wasabi sauce); this is a really nice roll if you want something light on the sauce! - spicy salmon hand roll (salmon, cucumber, spicy mayo, tempura flake) - I would get a roll instead of this next time - sashimi deluxe (12 pcs) - delish Probably would order again if I wanted something light for dinner but not my go-to if starving :) read more

Recently though I've been having a lot of problems with them forgetting parts of my order, so if you pick up, be sure to check your bag to make sure you have everything before you go.

The food was alright but I ordered through yelp and it took them 40 minutes to get the order ready even though I went to pick it up. Not to mention, I had gone up to pick up and the woman told me to wait five more minutes. I go up again about 10 minutes later and she told me she gave my order to someone else thinking it was me?? And the other person was a man??? It took them another 15-20 minutes to remake my food. I'm rather disappointed. read more

I have had really good experiences ordering from this restaurant. Their maki rolls and miso soup are good and not very expensive. Their poké bowl was also delicious, and they don't charge extra for a bunch of the ingredients that many poké places do charge extra for.

Probably the worst sushi place I have ever gone to. Ordered the sashimi lunch special and ended up with a few pieces of imitation crab, sad cooked shrimp, and a few pieces of pretty smelly salmon. How is that a sashimi lunch at all? What a waste of money. The luke warm miso soup that obviously came out of a packet (dehydrated tofu cubes and still hard and dry seaweed were a giveaway) and lack of real sashimi on the plate (not counting the salmon, which was really not fresh) is appalling. Doesn't even come with rice. Don't come here. read more

I came in for lunch today. It was pretty quiet but welcoming. The owner, who served me is super sweet! I live near by so I usually come here quite often/ order Togo. The sushi is always phenomenal and fresh! I had the Manhattan today which consisted of crab meat in the roll and baked scallops on top. Although I was expecting actual scallops on top it was more of a seafood salad but it was still delicious. I have never run into any problems while ordering from here and the owner is super sweet and even greets me on the street (not only in his restaurant) haha. read more

When we arrived, there were two groups ahead of us in line, but we were still seated quite quickly. I'm not always the biggest sushi person, but I am a big fan of mangoes and thought the butterfly maki was absolutely delicious. My partner and my other friend both got the beef udon which was delicious as well, so there are certainly some good options for anyone not in the mood for sushi.

We ordered the sashimi platter, several crudo dishes, tempura shrimp, miso cod, skirt steak, tuna tartare, calamari, rock shrimp, and finished with two desserts. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The standout for me was how consistently good everything was. It is rare to order so many items and not have a single disappointment.

Highly recommend and would definitely come here again if I'm ever back in the area!

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!

We were in town this weekend dropping off our big kid back to campus and strolled in for a quick bite to eat after and we left the place a little speechless -- in the best way. The best highlight of our meal was their 6-course special for $44 -- what a steal! We ordered with the ika wasabi, spicy tuna avocado salad, chicken yaktori, saba naban, Buddha Dragon roll, and mochi as dessert, and paired it with a sashimi combo entree, beef takati and an order of Ikura and Hotate nigiri. We loved this option since it gave us a little of everything, and absolutely EVERYTHING was 5 stars. Dishes were beautifully plated, fresh, and tasted heavenly. Even our 2-year-old ate a hefty helping of chicken yaktori and grilled saba. Waitstaff was professional, friendly, and super efficient. Ambience is great for a date night and not as casual as other izakayas. There are also semi-private booths available so I made sure to make a mental note for the future as a larger party option.

This place was unique because they leveled up their lobster rolls by using different sauces. In the warm one, they use beurre blanc, and in the cold one, they use a seasoned kewpie mayo. You can definitely tell the difference. The Saltie Girl branded chips were a nice touch. We shared a bag and took one on the road. Fun vibes too seeing all the seafood towers get built!

I started with the Golden Tide, which was a delicious combination of pineapple and orgeat flavors. Refreshing, tropical, and a great way to kick things off. For appetizers, I ordered fresh raw oysters and the scallop ceviche, I honestly don't know much about choosing oysters, so my waitress basically gave me a mini oyster class and I was impressed by how knowledgeable she was! She explained the differences between oysters, including how some are creamy and briny while others are much saltier, almost like taking a bite straight out of the ocean. Such a cool experience and something I genuinely appreciated. And that scallop ceviche? Hands down, the BEST ceviche I've ever had. The scallops were incredible, and I loved that they served it with root vegetable chips instead of the typical tortilla chips. Sweet potato chips added such a unique flavor and texture. Absolutely delicious! For dinner, I had the sumac-crusted tuna with haricots and assorted vegetables, and it was fantastic. The tuna was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and paired perfectly with the vegetables. Between the food, the atmosphere, the energy, and especially the knowledgeable and attentive service, Row 34 delivered a dining experience that I'll definitely remember. This is exactly the kind of restaurant that makes dining out feel like an experience rather than just a meal.

I've been coming here for the past year and I love this place is very clean, very cozy. The sushi chef is very friendly. I always feel very welcoming coming here and sushi always prepared nicely. Some of the sushi I order is so pretty and it's like an art. The prices seem pretty reasonable portions seem pretty reasonable too. It's nice that it's close to my hospital. My family and I go to Beth Israel a lot and it's nice that every time we go there we have this nice little place we can go to for sushi after a long day in the hospital. I definitely recommend their lunch specials and they are traffic light maki is to die for. They serve sushi on a wooden Bridge. So cool. I don't see this a lot in other Restaurant. The environment feels very relaxing. Also love their Red Sox roll, spicy girl and alligator roll. Highly recommend ! I will definitely come back soon. Cannot wait ! read more

I returned many hours later at the end of the day before closing and they had my purse Safelite put away the asked me to ck make sure everything was in there before I left in effect all was there I offered 100$ for safely putting it away and they strongly refused. They are 10 stars in my book. read more
