Ebi Sushi, a cozy neighborhood gem in Union Square, serves up fresh and creative sushi delights in a relaxed atmosphere perfect for date nights or casual bites.
"Beloved Ebi Sushi has been drawing neighborhood fans since 2011, and it came back better than ever after an impressive renovation in 2021. The main menu features grilled fish, chirashi bowls, and other classic Japanese dishes, while a rotating selection of sushi specials may include the likes of uni or an absolutely unbeatable torched tuna belly." - Nathan Tavares, Valerie Li Stack
"Along with a hardware store that sells plungers at 1am, everyone should have a reliable sushi restaurant in their neighborhood. That’s exactly what Ebi is in Sommerville. It’s very good, very casual, and cheap enough that you could pop in once a week without having to eat trail mix for dinner for the next month. Sit at the bar for a miso salmon and blue dragon roll, or order 10 courses of nigiri for just $54, or five for $26. You won’t get caviar, otoro, or detailed descriptions of each course like you will at O Ya and Umami, but the fish is excellent and comes topped with things like smoked lemon and honey." - tanya edwards
"When you consider the high stakes of sushi freshness, “cheap” is a relative term. And when you’re talking about sushi that’s not only fresh, but really good and served omakase-style, it seems impossible to find for less than the price of a plane ticket (even on Spirit). That makes Ebi Sushi in Union Square, which serves an excellent 10-course omakase for just $52, incredibly rare and incredibly valuable. Come here when you need some casual sushi and proof that unicorns exist (in restaurant form, at least)." - dan secatore

"Open since 2011, Ebi Sushi is a neighborhood favorite in Somerville’s Union Square, and it got a really snazzy remodel in 2021, making it a great spot for a date night. Order any of the day’s specials, especially if there’s torched salmon belly. The owners are longtime alums of the now-defunct Blue Fin in Cambridge’s Porter Exchange." - Valerie Li Stack, Eater Staff
