Hi Everyone,
I just moved here and have a few questions about the neighborhood.
I noticed there are a few sushi restaurants in Davis Square, would anyone care to give me a recommendation?
I have been a nanny for the last 3 years in Portland for two small children under 5. Is there an agency for nannies in Somerville or is anyone looking for help?
My references and English are excellent and I can start right away.
Thank you,
Yi

Date: 2009-10-10 02:53 am (UTC)(When my sushi snob friend from San Francisco was in town and he wanted some, we walked into Snappy and the fishy smell was overwhelming (though that isn't always the case). He took a look at the goods behind the counter and said we weren't eating there, so I took him to Hana which he really enjoyed. Plus you can have a drink with your meal.)

Date: 2009-10-10 03:37 am (UTC)Snappy sushi is all brown rice?!? so I personally hate them
i've never been to Yoshi, but I have heard good things
Hana hasn't been the same since the ownership change 2 years ago
New Ginza in watertown (bike or drive) is quite good; especially for rolls.
Getting on the T to coolidge corner in Brookline brings you near Fugakyu (great rolls, ok Nigiri). There is also Haru, Tsunami and another that are all decent.
blue fin in porter square (T ride) is ok. They do decent cooked and they do have a wasabi root roll that is nice.
if you bike to lexington (on the bike path)http://calendar.boston.com/lexington-ma/venues/show/589028-daikanyama-japanese-cuisine is really good. The owner took a few of the best chefs from Fugakyu.
Oishii is still good, they are in the south end - though they seem to have gotten a little bit full on winning awards year after year. If you drive, their chestnut hill location is still the best and the Sudbury location is good too.

Date: 2009-10-10 02:03 pm (UTC)O ya is pretty special and I have had 2 very good meals there but, for the cost, omakasi at oishii on a Tuesday or Thursday (non busy night) still can't be beat.

Date: 2009-10-10 05:56 pm (UTC)Fugakyu is great. There is this fancy-ish place in Beacon hill that is expensive but worth it (the name escapes me).
I'm not too fussy in general. There is a sushi counter in the porter exchange which is fairly OK and very cheap, so I end up there usually by default (it's the closest to me as well :)
Oh, right.... That sushi counter In Porter Sq is not bad...

There was recently a groupon for the Beacon Hill location, I already forgot the name too because it didn't sound worth the money. Fugakyu and Oishii are worthy of the cost! except that the latter charged us a "cake cutting" fee of $5 per person when we went there with our own birthday dessert my friend was enamored with- turned into a $50 Whole Foods cake, wtf :(
I'm not a fan of the snappy or the hana, I'd rather go cheap at the Porter Exchange which has all kinds of places inside it. Or, of probable interest to the poster- check out the Super 88 in Allston for all your asian-inspired grocery and eating needs, it has a free parking lot and a Lollicup tea shop!
Chopsticks down, my favorite affordable sushi place has got to be the Genki Ya on Harvard Ave in Brookline. It's all organic! Small place and usually packed, but awesome service and huge portions of quality. Lots of different rolls, veggie and cooked too :)
Thanks again!
Date: 2009-10-11 11:06 pm (UTC)I keep hearing about O Ya so I will check that place out after I get a job :)
