Running late and really hungry upon leaving an appointment I quickly went to help to see what restaurants with good reviews were in walking distance and Tori Japan was one that caught my eye. Upon walking in I was greeted and asked if I had any questions. The restaurant did not have many dine in people but there were a a bit of drivers waiting for delivery orders. I ordered the chicken teriyaki with shrimp and white rice with steamed vegetables. It was cooked pretty quickly and I did like that I could see what was being done to the food before it was packed. It was very clean and the food did not take long to be made! I'll def be back next time I'm in the area and want something quickly. Great customer service!

Wasn't great. Didn't compare to sarku Japan - it was just okay. Wouldn't go back due to the chicken being a little chewy.

Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

absolutely adore tora! one of the few places i'd always recommend in boston! fish quality is pretty…read moregood and they have a good variety on the menu! i'd recommend the aburi waygu don but also something more interesting is the kani-yaki tama don however that's a bit more if u like imitation crab! resturant inside is pretty casual and service once seated is usually good and quick however resturant itself is very small so wait times on weekends are ALWAYS long but again it's a given for how popular the resturant is! (p.s. i've been here soooo many times times so i'd also say quality has always been consistent)

Best udon I've ever had. I didn't do any prior research for this spot and I ended up absolutely…read morepleased with the food quality and ambience. I got the Hot Niku Udon! The broth was so rich and balanced that I could taste every ingredient listed. The noodles weren't too soft like most places, they were perfect! My boyfriend and I loved the open-kitchen concept that made the food feel so much more authentic. I craved this meal the second we stepped out of the restaurant! I'd recommend this to everyone!

I felt like Yume Ga Arukara didn't stand out to me. Not sure if I just ordered the wrong item? I…read moregot the hot spicy nikutama udon soup. Nikutama just basically comes with meat. I also added the onsen egg. My first initial thought: it's warm, soothing and heartwarming. But the more I ate it, it didn't really have much flavor and I don't know if it's because it's chicken based broth. The spiciness also didn't really have much of a kick. And in some bites, I bit into a Szechuan pepper. Not sure what kind of theme they're going for but definitely didn't expect it to have a Szechuan twist. I will say, I very much liked their udon noodles! It was really chewy and soft. I also felt that the onsen egg was slightly too undercooked. I love eggs and I can eat them cooked, runny, etc. but felt like the yolk was so runny it mixed into the soup and didn't really resurface after that. It's a really small shop with bar seating and a few small tables. Expect a wait if you're a big party or quite possibly coming around rush hour. Despite my review, it seems very popular. Service was quick and fast!

What a great omakase dinner. They offer service 3 times. The staff and sushi chefs offer great…read moreservice and are very friendly. It's a small restaurant that has a L-shape sushi counter service. It's an 18-course meal and you have the ability to add more before dessert is served. They offer alcohol. Please note that a 20% service fee is included in your bill. Reservations get booked quickly. My advice is to check Resy at 12pm and nab a seating before it's gone! Def will be back.

Definitely check out Wa Shin for a special celebration, but make sure you book in advance when the reservations come out because they are a hot ticket! We loved every course. They start out with some appetizers and move onto raw fish and finish with some hand rolls and dessert. They can easily accommodate diary free with sorbet for dessert (that was not just boring sorbet). The appetizers were unique and flavorful, and the fish were unique and fresh. We honestly loved every bite. We did get one sake pairing as well and really enjoyed that. They described the flavor profiles perfectly and the quality of the sake was excellent. The chef was also really kind. He noticed someone in our group was not eating much at the very end due to getting full and he offered to use less/no rice to offer a lighter option. At the end of the dinner they also have buy options of unique things to try, or a seconds of some of the other courses. Depending on the time of year they will have different offerings, but we really enjoyed the uniqueness of this. Wa Shin is amazing and we really loved our meal!

So i was staying in a hotel right down the street and didn't want to drive. I love sushi so I…read morefigured i would give this place a try. This is a fast food take out place. There are seats to sit in and eat there. So it would have been 5 stars but the amount of time I had to wait for my food. Which was 20+ minutes. It seems they do a very good business with takeaway. Food was good I got the steak and shrimp Bento box. I ordered extra shrimp and never received extra shrimp. The size of the shrimp was very small. The noodles i ordered was spaghetti not chow main noodles. Veggies slightly over cooked. But the meal was satisfying and for the price was a good value. I also ordered shrimp tempura roll which was outstanding.

So - So chicken teriyaki, small portions, wrong orders... ordered online the chicken/ shrimp…read moreteriyaki with extra chicken. Didn't notice till I got back to my hotel that there was no shrimp and the amount of chicken didn't look like they added any either. Went back to the Tori to get shrimp, which they made me a whole new one but think they still forgot my extra chicken. Saw them put 1 scoop of chicken and then the shrimp on top followed by sauce. The guy behind the register was going to throw out my old order and I'm big on food waste; I asked him if I could just take the old one too if he was just going. Buddy responds with, " Sure, no problem." And proceeds to toss it in the trash . Just pondering at this moment if anyone that works here even understands English cause he literally responded with sure... Only in town visiting, wouldn't recommend to anyone who was looking for a teriyaki place. Don't get any addons cause I'm sure they're not adding it.

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!

By far the best food you'll get in Seaport by a mile. Everything I've had in Seaport has been…read moregrossly overpriced and mediocre in taste, par for the course for the neighborhood, and Mai, located right outside the Alamo, was a very pleasant, unexpected exception. We popped in here for a post-movie snack. Even though we came at a pretty inconvenient time for the staff (right before last call and half an hour before closing for lunch), our waitress was super sweet and checked in on us when we were done to see what our favorite roll was. The food came out very quickly, maybe because of the off-hour. We got the seaweed salad (not bad, very cucumber heavy); and an assortment of handrolls (toro, spicy blue crab, spicy scallop, and California lobster roll). Everything about each roll was sublime, from the delicate crispy nori, the slightly above room temperature rice, and the generous cuts of seafood laid on top. My favorite was the toro with caviar. You almost don't need to dip any of these in the accompanying soy sauce, though they do provide that, along with ginger and wasabi. Extensive drink menu too. Loved the offer of a complimentary Lactaid to go with the matchatini that includes cheese foam - this place knows some of their customers suffer from dairy! Dinner has a few more options, though lunch offers slightly discounted sets of three handrolls. There's a description on the back of the menu for how to eat these. I'd love to try their sister restaurant, Matsunori. Parking is tough for this area: if you can swing dinner and a movie, that might be the best deal, as Alamo offers validated parking for I believe up to four hours.
