Sushi?

What are your favorite places in Boston for reasonably priced and tasty sushi?

[identity profile] bikergeek.livejournal.com 2004-09-07 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
does it have to be Boston?

Two favorites of mine:
Bluefin, in the Porter Exchange building, Porter Sq., Cambridge
Yoshi's, Powderhouse Circle, Somerville

bluefin in the porter exchange, as mentioned above, is good and cheap without being worrisome.

south of the river, shino express in copley square - if anybody ever tells you you can't have something good, fast *and* cheap all at the same time? point 'em here.

if you're looking for a place to sit and relax and chat a little, though, you're better off either with bluefin or with umi in the fenway.

if you have a car, sake in saugus.

Bluefin. Haven't tried Yoshi's yet.

if you have a car and you're willing to drive FOREVER, oishii in sudbury (which is, yes, kind of far >.< ) has the best sushi ever ever. however, it's a. in SUDBURY, and b. not exactly cheap. (probably about average price for really good suburban sushi, tho.) it's so, so good.

but if you don't want to drive to sudbury (and really, who could blame you), bluefin is yummy. and i second shino express.

Just wanted to add to the acclaim for bluefin. If you want to really optimize your spending, get the "N pieces for M$" special, make that order entirely nigiri, and add maki at the regular price. (And make sure to try tatsuta-age.)

My favorite place in the area for good sushi on the inexpensive side is Takeshima, on Harvard Street in Brookline just a little bit up from the Coolidge Corner Theater - it's near the Arcade mall, where Grand Opening is.

For really great sushi, there's Ginza x2, Fugakyu, Oishii, and a few others, but they're all more expensive.

Hana Sushi, on Mass. Ave north of Porter Square (across from the bus barn, near where the bike path crosses.)

Not quite "cheap", but definitely "reasonably priced" -- Asai, in Belmont Center. The husband and I typically get the sushi special, an appetizer or two, and some extra miso soup (the special comes with one, but we are two :), and it comes to around $30. You can get there by commuter rail if transportation is an issue (or, like us, by bike!).

I used to like Bluefin, but then I started going to Asai, and, well...I can tell why Bluefin's cheaper.

Bluefin...it's cheap, and decent. But even though they slice their fish thinly, it's well-made and fresh.

I really enjoyed Roka between Central and Harvard. Also, a Korean Place in Union in Somerville is yummy, and cheap.
