This place is top tier all around. The sushi is extremely fresh and masterfully executed. The restaurant feels modern and inviting and staff is so welcoming, including the owner who stopped by to chat. Easily one of my new favorite sushi spots. The nigiri felt like you were having omakase - each piece had unique flavors and toppings added. The rolls were delicious - the samurai roll was good but the basil flavor was slightly overpowering. The absolute best was the boomer roll.. MUST try if you are a fan of mushrooms. Unlike any roll I've had before. read more

My sweet lady brought home dinner for me from sushico! Spicy tiger roll - smacks, has the hot oil crunchy garlic drizzled on top. Chutoro tuna w/ chives - clean and simple showcasing the Chutoro overall. Otoro nigiri - texturally had a bit of like tendon type chew in the pieces I had, which i didn't expect from Otoro. Otoro is usually my favorite! Will have to eat at the restaurant with her next time. read more

SushiCo is now one of my new favorite sushi spots! I'll be honest, the sushi restaurants in Boston & in areas surrounding aren't that good BUT SushiCo is pretty top notch. Came here for dinner the other day with a friend & we did walk-in. We were able to get seated at the bar immediately. Though the restaurant was essentially empty at the time & there looked like many tables available, I guess they block them off for reservations only? Ended up being a full house by the time we finished our meal! There were so many unique options to choose from but we ended up getting the following: -tuna tacos -6 nigiris (2 otoro, 2 yellowtail, & 2 black bass) -phoenix roll -southside roll -lychee martini -"I trust the nanny" drink Take out order (after our meal): -nor'easter roll -spicy tiger roll -chutoro tuna w/ chives roll -4 otoro nigiris The fish tasted super fresh! Rolls were all very flavorful too! All of the rolls we ordered all had hints of spice & microgreens, which normally I wouldn't care for in my rolls but they managed to make it work well! My favorites from the dinner were the otoro nigiri & the phoenix roll! I love otoro & I love a torched salmon moment hehe, so though I enjoyed everything we ordered, those two were my personal favorites. I wish I had known about SushiCo sooner but I'm happy I was able to visit! Will definitely be back again for more sushi... much better than many of the "high-end" sushi restaurants in Boston (i.e. O ya, Oishii, Zuma, etc) in my opinion! Prices are higher than your typical neighborhood sushi joint BUT the quality is amazing & worth the coin! Parking: street parking read more

Simply delicious, fresh & beautifully presented in a calm, spacious setting. Exceptionally fresh fish. Friendly service. We ordered 5 rolls and the 20 piece Nigiri ($100) which in hindsight, I would have preferred a bunch of different rolls instead of the Nigiri.. This is a treat, as it does add up and of course the gratuity adds to that add up ! But what a lovely night out for the 3 of us. I think I had read some comments about service or size of the restaurant..both exceeded my expectations. A really large space, comfortably lit and nicely designed. And the service was personal & friendly. The owner stood talking to our neighboring table for a huge amount of time, maybe 20 plus minutes, but did not seem to engage other tables. It's funny, you spend time with regulars or those you might already know, however a new customer may become a regular with a little bit of "hey" from the owner. read more

Some of the freshest fish I've ever had! As you can tell from the photos we are big salmon fans- and they did not disappoint. This place was gorgeous and spotless all around; we enjoyed our meal thoroughly. The fish was fresh and tasty, the service was immaculate and we were attended to frequently even though it was extremely busy. The atmosphere on a Saturday night can't be matched, it was so lively here! Cute place for a date night/special event, and you can walk around afterwards as well. Parking is on street so you'll have to look around for a bit. read more

Really great quality fish! Tried the Ora King Salmon Tacos (5/5 my favorite thing we ordered), Kabayaki Chicken Wings (5/5 just well done), Spicy Avocado and Shrimp Salad (5/5), Twenty Piece Sashimi (5/5 great quality), Phoenix Roll, Northside Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll, all of which were great! I will say it is a pretty pricey place though, so I'm not sure if it's really worth the high prices. It is good quality though. read more

I can't recommend SushiCo more. My Fiance and I have been going here over the past few years and it is easily our favorite Sushi spot in the Boston Area. We find ourselves coming back anytime we have an excuse to celebrate! The food is always so fresh and the specialty maki are always so creative. Some of our favorites include the South Side Roll, Citrus Summer Roll and Mambo Roll. You also can't go wrong with any of the standard maki. The staff is also always so kind, attentive and informative, which only enhances the experience every time! read more

Okay. White, New Englander named Alex opens a sushi restaurant in a random suburb of Boston. Recipe for mediocrity. But SushiCo is far from it. The sushi here is very fresh (Alex told me he got an order of snow crab that he sent back to the distributor because it didn't meet his quality standards). I love that he is creative. Doesn't cross the line to "fusion" per se, but definitely a good blend of Japanese (authentic to freshness, taste, presentation vs. what I've experienced in Japan) and American (thiccccc slices of fish). My tummy thanks you for opening in such a convenient location, while my bank account curses you Alex. What a neighborhood gem. A+ for service, quality, taste. read more

I'd give our dinner 10 stars if I could. Visiting my mom while in town and brought my 8 month old baby to dinner tonight.

Good sushi, not just for Boston (an annoying but sometimes necessary qualifier). When it comes to sushi, I can be a bit of a purist, not a fan of garnishes and toppings, which to me feels like too much bells and whistles when you should let the quality of the fish shine on its own. The sushi here does have a lot going on, but there's attention paid to detail and making sure the flavors and textures work together, everything comes together really well. We came on the early side so were able to snag a table without a reservation, but recommend making one for Friday/weekend. Beautiful space - I couldn't stop staring at the giant mural of a fish. For starters, highly recommend the sesame noodles. They use a thin soba and not too much dressing, which I appreciate. Light, flavorful, a nice palette opener for all the fish you'll consume. Octopus salad was good (just wish there were more of it), with beautiful knife work in the cucumber on the side. Super impressive when chefs take such pride in the presentation. For my main, I got the 6-piece sashimi and the spicy tiger roll, but what I should have done was order more from the nigiri menu to try more pieces. We went with the special black cod and it was torched to perfection. Staff, including owner Alex, were all super nice! Lots of regulars, always a good sign. On a side note: love the staff t-shirts (do they sell those? There were neat stacks by our table), especially the one that had "More sushi, less drama," or something to that effect, on the back. Convenient location in Newton Centre, big metered parking lot close by (parking is free after 6). read more

Excellent dinner at Sushico. A few points: * freshness is exceptional * flavors are outstanding especially the prepared foods or flavored sushi items but don't overlook the edamame with truffle oil * truly premium cut of fish available * very ample/large sushi portion sizes/cuts of fish * good vibe/ambience All in all and exceptional experience and look forward to returning and highly recommend read more

This is our second time returning! It's a 30 minute drive from us but we don't mind at all. The food is exceptionally fresh, and the fish is visibly vibrant as a result of it. Everything is tasty and remarkable quality. It's an intimate experience. You communicate with the chef for a reservation and chef Alex waits on your order. We ordered the Chef's Choice for two option 2 and it was amazing as anticipated. Some say the prices are high, I'd like to say they are pretty standard, considering a price for a special maki roll falls just under 20 dollars. 10/10! Will be back for more. Give it a try! read more

After some Yelp sleuthing for dinner in Newton, we settled on Sushico. The restaurant has a modern and elegant ambiance and friendly service. We got to try a variety of their dishes and I had some really tasty items. Must get - Yellowtail jalapeno - super fresh and tender melt-in-your-mouth fish, crunchy jalapeno, tasty sauce. Definitely one of my favorite crudos I've had in the past year. - Unnamed roll - I can't figure out what this roll was called (they might not sell it anymore), but it had tuna, chili crunch, and microgreens on top. It was my favorite roll that we tried! Flavors, textures, and fish were all on point. Good - Tuna with shiso - very tender tuna, fragrant shiso - Salmon avocado roll - fresh and tasty - King roll - very interesting combination of ingredients (salmon, avocado, mango, veggies) Meh - Sushi tacos - I was really looking forward to these after seeing them in reviews, but I wasn't a fan. The ceviche taco was sweet and didn't have much savory flavor, and the tuna taco didn't have much flavor. These could be okay dipped in soy sauce, but I think the other dishes we had were better. Overall, I loved the yellowtail jalapeno and the roll I can't remember the name of. The items are not cheap -- $8 for a miso soup? what's in it? -- but they clearly put a lot of care into sourcing their ingredients and are passionate about fish and sushi. Everything was fresh, yummy, and inventive. And it was more filling than I expected! I would love to come back and try more rolls and raw appetizers in the future. read more

We have been planning to eat here for quite a while, and we're excited when we finally decided to go. I was super disappointed with the portion size. To add to that the prices are outrageous. We spent $200 on dinner for three people and left hungry. We paid $65 for a salmon platter and it turned out to be a dish that would've cost maybe $30 on the high end anywhere else. The food quality was good and so was the service. I can't see myself going back here under any circumstances. read more

Welcome to what is arguably the best sushi place in all of Boston. I know, you'll say, what about Fuji, Umami, Zuma, O Ya, Pabu, No Relation, etc. They're all good, but let me tell you why I like SushiCo best of all. There is absolutely nothing pretentious about this place, and I love that! The price is higher than your average quick hit sushi place, but you're paying for the excellent food. You can taste the difference in how it's carefully prepared. The owner, Alex, is out on the floor, going table to table and making conversation. You can tell this place is his baby. He told me a story about how they even refused to accept a fish that was packaged fresh but bent. The bending of the fish would impact the quality of the cuts. That's attention to detail! If you find things not available that night, it's typically because the fish/seafood did not meet the standard that Alex has for his ingredients. He also has a ridiculously good Spotify playlist, personally curated, that's piped into the restaurant. This is perhaps one of my favorite things about the place. It's fine dining quality in a bit more casual environment. They have paper menus for you to check-off your selections. That's really cool for a more upscale place, because it still sends a more casual signal. I love it. The place is super busy, but it's not crammed with people. They are very selective on the number of reservations they take. You will see empty tables that are waiting for reservations to show up. They're not stacking people in there and so the experience feels so much less rushed. You're not ushered to leave for the next reservation right on your heels. On to the food: When you order from the Nigiri menu, you're getting omakase style food. This isn't just a piece of fish slapped on rice, like your average place. You are getting a curated recipe, in which even the rice is done to Alex's standards, and the fish is brushed with sauce and/or topped with some element. This not only bolsters the presentation, but it definitely makes it taste so good. You are essentially picking your omakase... which I know goes against what the word means, but it's really cool to be able to do it. I highly suggest just going down that Nigiri list and ordering one of everything to make your own omakase experience, as the pieces are that quality level. The specialty rolls are incredible also. Again, you're getting high quality fish and varied flavors that give each one depth. Although they take great care with the soy sauce recipe, you will mostly find yourself not needing it. For some rolls I used it, but you don't need it for the Nigiri style fish. Of course there are more basic rolls. You can get your spicy tuna or salmon and avo rolls. I tend to avoid those, only because I fill up on the other great items in the menu. The menu also features a great selection of appetizers. I highly recommend the tuna or salmon tacos. The Tuna Sashimi appetizer was also incredible. I've been here 4 times already and still haven't tried everything, but it's so hard to stray from my favorites. OVERALL: This is a high quality experience with a casual undertone, but you can you tell Alex takes pride in his vision. He made the place what he wants, and I am a huge fan of it. This is a gem outside of Boston and my new favorite sushi place. read more

So good! I've had take out from there before, which is OK. We went in for an early dinner on Friday night, and we had amazing dishes! The Boomer Roll is AMAZING. It's tempura mushrooms, and it is soooo good. We also had two other house special makis that were also very good. (I forget which ones, but both were raw). My 5 year old loved her simple salmon roll. The edamame portion was huge and good, but I like mine with a bit more salt. We will definitely be back! read more

Wow - what a find! Definitely stop by if you're in the area and wanting sushi. I was so impressed from start to finish. First: the FOOD! Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. No regrets on any order. I went with two other people and we ordered the following: - edamame - salty, plump, and perfectly steamed - spicy avocado shrimp salad - like nothing i've ever had! the flavors were so incredible! the best way i can describe it is like a tennis ball size amount of a shrimp-slaw surrounded by thinly sliced avocado. beautiful mix of creamy and acidic flavors - spicy tuna roll - the added touch of green onions was yummy - tempura shrimp roll - love that crispy texture - sweet potato roll - much more substantial than a typical version of this roll - king roll - incredible combo with the salmon on top and a mix of mango and veggies inside the rice - def my personal favorite of our selection - another tuna special roll i cannot recall the name of Secondly, the ambiance. Simply gorgeous! The restaurant has high ceilings, sexy bar seating around a U-shaped bar in the center of the restaurant, and cozy booths around the perimeter. Lots of warm gold tones and natural wood. Tasteful and classy! Thirdly, and so importantly: the service. This was especially important because one of the people who joined me is a close friend with a very severe tree nut allergy. Sushi is often a safe bet for her in terms of her allergy, but I made sure to call and ask about it when I made my reservation. Chef Alex happened to take my call and immediately addressed my concerns, assuring me that the kitchen can guarantee no cross contamination and is very careful about allergens. He even mentioned how he has two people close to him who have serious allergies as well, so it's a topic close to his heart. He added a note to our reservation and said he would personally visit our table. Fast forward to our visit, and he did personally stop by to reiterate the kitchen policies to reassure my friend. Even aside from his visit, his wife (I regretfully cannot remember her name) was so accommodating while serving us our meal. As Sushico does not have dessert, she very thoughtfully recommended nearby dessert places with allergy considerations in mind. My only request to Sushico: please add dessert!!! To Yelpers: this place is incredible! read more

Just went here for the first time tonight with my dad and it blew us away! Employees were very friendly. Good vibes. Some standout things we ordered (although everything was great) were the octopus salad which was super fresh and had great flavors as well as the boomer roll which was one of the best things we got. It had a super strong umami flavor and had mushroom tempura on the inside and shiitake mushrooms on top. GET THIS. I also loved the tuna roll I got although I forgot the name. It is on the pricier side but completely worth it for the quality and taste. Definitely come here. read more

Unique. Genuine. Delicious. Fresh. Flavors - 4.9/5 Textures - 5/5 Presentation - 5/5 Value for Money - 4.5/5 Would return? Yes Must-try: Nigiri This might be the best sushi I've ever had! Sushico makes every single thing on your plate from scratch (even the soy sauce!) with high-quality ingredients, and it definitely comes through when you taste it. The food is extremely original and interesting. You don't come here to order a California roll, you come here to let yourself go and enjoy the ride. The Nigiris were particularly amazing. Every element was perfectly seasoned and together punch you in the face with flavor. Their rice plays a big role here because it's different (from regular sushi rice) - it has soooo much flavor ! Briny. Zesty. Each bite made me want more. I had a similar experience with their Maki - I felt every detail in the plate had a purpose that left me wondering "what the hell is in this roll that makes it taste so good?!" I wasn't paid for this review, I promise! Also, the service is amazing. read more

OMG! I cannot believe it took me this long to go to this fantastic sushi restaurant that everybody else seems to know but me. But all I can say is the quality of fish and the presentation and flavor and consistent was top notch! By far this restaurant is five star Michelin rated as far as I'm concerned. It is not the regular sushi like you see it in most sushi restaurants where you get a Caterpillar roll. They have their own originality and by far the best of the best flavors. It's almost like a French design haute couture picturesque sushi with Asian flavors! We ordered the salmon tacos, two black bass nigiri, the north side roll, spicy tiger roll and citrus summer roll so good!! I met Alex the owner and the chef and he was delightful had lots of fun talking to him. He was very personable and takes pride in his work I will definitely come back here again and just mad at myself for not coming sooner!! read more

This restaurant's manager/owner I believe he is a racist guy. 1. By treating his customers with different attitude by race, very obvious, making me as an Asian female feel extremely uncomfortable, sexiest and racist. 2. My husband pay the check ahead of time and when we finished dining walking out he yell at us, and the waitress who help us checked told me we already paid, but this guy didn't apologize or have any sense of awareness how inappropriate he is. 3. The food taste average and overpriced, I suggest any sushi lover can go to Zuma, way better than this place. Bad experience. read more

Warning: The lychee martini I had was sneaky strong! read more

Where do I begin... I guess at the fact that I walked in as a non-sushi person and left as a super fan! I haven't ever really been a big seafood lover, for no other reason than having been a picky child who never grew out of it :) While I love a good veggie based roll, I knew I had been missing out. I have heard so many rave reviews about SUSHICO, I was willing to step very far outside of my comfort zone and see what the buzz was about. Chef Alex went above and beyond to make my experience exceptional, and comfortable. He spent time at our table (on a busy Saturday night), talking about the flavors I like, where and how the ingredients his restaurant uses are sourced and the pride he takes in ensuring only the best in quality. I was blown away by the flavors, textures and overall deliciousness of everything we had. My husband, who is also an avid sushi fan, proclaimed it was the best he ever had and we could never go anywhere else! Chef Alex came back to check on us many times throughout the evening and couldn't have been a more gracious host. We look forward to many more visits in the (near) future and highly recommend SUSHICO to all! read more

Hands down the best sushi on the east coast and probably the world. The freshest fish is just the beginning...each piece is truly a work of art, stimulating the eyes and the palate. If there was a Michelin guide to Boston, this would be top billing. Take my advice and do the omakase and a spicy margarita. Also, this sushi needs no wasabi or soy sauce - it will only take away from the delicately balanced flavors in each piece of nigiri. I've visited 3 times since being introduced a couple months ago and I will be back for more. Thank you! The best! read more

One of the BEST sushi places in MA. Ambiance is casual. Highly recommend getting their miso soup and nigiris, delish! No complaints on service, waitress was very nice, attentive, and provided excellent service. Unfortunately, forgot her name. At first glance, the menu appears to be pricey, but food and quality makes up for it. As long as they're keeping their prices reasonable, I'll be coming here often for my sushi fix and willing to drive 20-30min to come here. read more
