The 36 Essential Indianapolis Restaurants

"This sushi and cocktail bar on Mass Avenue sits at a 45-degree angle, with large glass windows overlooking the street and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, making for excellent people-watching, both inside and out. There are a large variety of specialty rolls on the broad menu, including the popular Playboy Roll, made with spicy tuna, asparagus, jalapeño, and shrimp tempura, topped with salmon, shrimp, and three sauces — and then lit on fire. You can also get all the traditional rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Stop by on Sunday for half-priced sushi." - Mike Gillis

They have 1/2 price Sushi rolls on Sunday and that’s why the place was fully packed. We had to wait at least 30 minutes for the waiter to take our order and another 20 minutes for the food to come. But I must say the Sushi rolls were totally worth the wait. Will definitely try again.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet This is some of the best Japanese food I've had ever. The customer service was amazing We came here unexpectedly because everything was closed and we were like the only two people in their eating. The tuna nachos were amazing. We had some dish that was sushi wrapped in foil that they had to set on fire so that it can be cooked right in front of us and when I tell you it was the best sushi ever Oh my God! To the kitchen personally to thank the chef. Everything was right on time and fresh. This is definitely our new go-to spot! I still can't get over how amazing this food was. The orange chicken was really good The rice just seemed a little to sweet. What a preferred a dryer Jasmine rice or even a basmati. But again you see I gave this completely five stars even with that. Bless this place is really a gem. And this isn't a computer-generated AI review this is the real deal 😂

I have had a really hard time finding a good sushi restaurant in Indianapolis that wasn't a cookie cutter of every other around. I have to say that I was completely surprised by this restaurant. The service was beyond exceptional. Our waiter explained everything on the menu, offered his own personal favorites and had the best personality. The sushi itself was everything I have been looking for. I had the Shogun Shooters to start and I was blown away by the tenderness and taste of the sushi. It did even taste like I was eating fish which is a plus in my book. We also had the Hawaiian and Salmon Diablo that was wrapped in the soy paper which has been the best additions to these rolls. Much better than the traditional seaweed wraps. We walked out of there with 3 rolls and 2 drinks for under $50 which by far is a great deal for how well this food was. They could almost charge more per roll and still have some of the best sushi in town. This is definitely a highly recommend and I will be coming back here from now on!!

Okay the sushi here was amazing and our waiter was so nice and awesome. Really knew the menu and gave great suggestions. Will definitely come back!!!! I recommend the Shogun Shooters if you like red snapper and a kick of heat.

We ate lunch here: Boston Rolls, Cajun Ahi Rolls, Corona Rolls, and Shogun Shooters. The guys raved about the food. I felt like the flavor of the crab in the Boston Roll was completely overwhelmed by the cucumber and cream cheese. We waited a long time for our order. Turns out, it was sitting on the counter, forgotten. Oops. Otherwise, the service was great.

I was shocked to see this place with available tables on a Tuesday night as the quality of the food was beyond perfection. I can't wait to go back and eat there again. I am on a diet where I can't have rice, I asked the server to make some rolls without the rice which they were very generous with accommodating my request. My food was extremely good.

Ordered a lot of sushi for half price sushi Sunday! (4p-10p w/ drink purchase) The sushi here is always good. The service can be pretty slow on Sundays though, so don’t be in a rush.

Great service recommended the corona roll which was amazing! The rest of the rolls were good, except the playboy. It was an overall nice experience for an affordable Sunday lunch when sushi was half-off.

I love the presentation of their sushi! It's so pretty. Half off on Sunday sushi too! Great deal! I take work friends here when they are in town. It's an easy walk for them from bottle works hotel. Parking can be difficult so you may need to walk a block. The servers are good and some are absolutely hilarious! Looking forward to going today actually!!

I am from Hawaii. The sushi there 4 inches in diameter. The sushi here? I could NOT TASTE the rice win vinegar in the rice. The rice was bland with some type of fish on it, which tasted very fishy. Then there was a slice of lime thrown on it there they called it a Colada? YUCK! This is what it tasted like to me... bland rice with fishy tasting fish and I could see the lime but couldn't taste it. I stomached 3 but couldn't take it anymore. I seriously was sick. I returned the item. My fiancé had shrimp alfredo I think? What it tasted like to me... bland beef soup and was very greasy, th8n and runny. It had 3 pieces of shrimp in it & for the price? Heavens no! We will not go back there. Shaen mentioned this to the Manager and he told is every business establishment makes alfredo sauce differently and that is the way they make theirs. I was shocked. Also, the size of the sushi? It was 1 1/2" in diameter compared to the sushi in China Town, Oahu, 4". Nope NOT going here again. Management was nice when the meal was late and my fiancé got 2 additional drinks on the house per the Management because our food took so long BUT when we returned our meals, we were changed for the 2 additional drinks. Very rude!!! The atmosphere was beautiful but I noticed an Middle Eastern Indian couple with their daughter, had been waiting for a long time for their food. We were getting ready to leave when the manager said our meal was ready. So wait time was much too long. Approximately 20 minutes and my fiancé ordered a drink, which he never got before our meal arrived. One would think he would've gotten it first but nope. It came out with the meal. This was sad service.

We came here for my cousin's birthday the Saturday before Mother's Day! It was not busy and we were grateful. Our service in the server was amazing. She was super sweet. I was a little disappointed in the lettuce wraps... I feel like I could've made it at home! It was lettuce and chicken only... No pineapples, no carrots, or no other added vegetable to make it more of a wrap feel. The environment, however, was nicer, it looks like some remodeling has been done. I was looking for a picture on yelp of the lettuce wraps and did not see it so I hope my picture can help someone else in the future.

good sushi for a good price. service was unfortunately very slow and usually i'm forgiving since i'm a server as well. no refills, no checking on us for nearly an hour, and had to wait ten minutes after asking for the check to receive it. the food was great though and the restaurant is very nice inside and clean and looks great

Had the perfect Friday night with friends drinking cocktails and having sushi!! The whole restaurant was alive and moving, despite the rainy weather outside. There was a bourbon to handing out samples and the bar was full and loud!! The sushi was amazing and fresh, you could taste every flavor described in the rolls. I can't wait to go back again!

We were greeted at the door. Friendly staff. The bathrooms were clean. I get the same thing everytime, which is the ultimate veggie roll/tempura. My mocktail was too sweet. But overall, I had a great experience.

Food was great. Our server was on it, within a couple seconds of our food being ready it was on our table (we were next to the service counter). I like that the tables weren't too close together and they also have lots of outdoor seating. We went on a Sunday around 430pm (half price sushi time). We got 5 rolls (black widow, fire dragon, Godzilla, zen, corona) as well as yellow tail sashimi, scallop nigiri, and eel nigiri. My stand outs were the black widow #1 then the Godzilla roll. My spouse really enjoyed the corona roll as well as their yellow tail sashimi and scallop nigiri. They said it was really fresh raw fish. They also said it was the best scallop they've ever had. The yellow tail pieces were a good size too. All and all good and we will be coming back next time we're in Indy. Bonus: it was my birthday so they offered a free dessert. I was recommended the dessert roll and it did not disappoint. It was gorgeous and I think they make their own whipped cream. We also ended up getting the creme brulee cheesecake, also good.

I wish could give half points as this to me is 3.5 not just a 3 which isn't bad imo as it's a nice choice for sushi especially on Sundays for their half price sushi. Nothing special yet nothing bad to say. The sushi was fresh and the service was great. Love this little spot when looking to get out for a quick dinner or lunch.

After exploring the Bottleworks District, we swung into Forty Five Degrees and were immediately drawn to their open-air patio--such a great spot to relax and people-watch! The vibe is slightly upscale but approachable, offering a mix of Americanized dishes and a decent-sized sushi menu. We ordered a few chef's specialty rolls along with some sake, and everything was well-executed. The rolls were nicely balanced in flavor and texture, and I appreciated that they were cut proportionally--none of those awkward oversized pieces. Overall, it was a pleasant experience sitting on the patio and enjoying a quick bite. It's a solid choice if you're in the area and craving sushi in a casual yet polished atmosphere!

Went for devour Indy. I was not impressed. They had nice mixed drinks- Blueberry lemon drop Pomegranet Margarita Titos vodka and soda 45 degree special The chicken egg rolls were dry in my opinion. The miso soup had a very strong seaweed taste. Maybe it's supposed to be like that I just didn't prefer it. The Teriyaki chicken entree was the best part. I like the taste especially with some wasabi

Ordered over the phone for pickup. Girl who I was transferred to took great care with my order offering up suggestions and substitutions. When I arrived she had lovingly packed it and included everything for me to eat as my dinner on the airplane. The male bartender jumped in and rung me up as she prepared other to-go orders. Real team work. And pleasant. No great picks since I jostled it a bit in a cross-Chicago airport sprint between connecting flights. Close up on leftovers that survived.

Half price sushi on Sundays is must! The ambiance has a nice modern upscale atmosphere. Rock n Roll sushi rolls is a option.

This was my second time dinning at forty-five degrees. I had the orange glazed chicken. The meal comes with a bed of rice, broccoli and orange chicken garnished with an orange slice. Our server was amazing and patient and gave us some amazing recommendations on what we should order from drinks to food and dessert. favorite options on what

We came here on a Thursday night because I have had sushi on my tastebuds and we also wanted to enjoy some cocktails too. The plus side of Thursday's is they have $5 off of their drinks on Thursdays which roughly makes them about half price. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could substitute out the meats I wanted in the sushi which worked great for me since I don't eat crab or shrimp. The place was not busy at all and pretty quiet which I'm not sure if that is a typical Thursday or if it was because it's Halloween; either way you might want to try a Thursday night to have the place to yourself. Because it was empty it was quiet and our waitress was on top of it! For my first drink I ordered something off of the seasonal menu, it was a peach mule. It as disgusting. I can't even give a good description of the flavor because it was so bad, and I was very disappointed. Mi Amor ordered a bourbon cherry drink of some sort and while it was terrible he was not thrilled about it either. For my next drink I went with a classic Lemon Drop Martini and it definitely was a lot better than the seasonal drinks. For sushi we ordered different versions of them and substituted in salmon. One of them was an orange something and I honestly can't remember the others. The playing was funny as our first ones came out looking great but nothing extra. We were both still a little hungry so we ordered more sushi and this one came out with flowers on it! It was so cute!! This place is great for an affordable way to try different types of sushi and I would come again.

I came in thinking I'd grab the lunch special but ended up getting a specialty roll. The lunch special only offers the basic rolls with a soup or salad. I can tell the food is made to order because when it came out, it was fresh. Service was amazing. The staff is so friendly and very attentive. Was able to walk in and take a seat. Lots of windows so very light and bright with nice music playing. If it's your first time, like mine, lunch is a great time to try. Mass Ave gets busy at night and on the weekends so parking could probably be a headache. I would definitely come back and try some more rolls.

I came here for dinner and had the shrimp scampi with a blueberry lemon drop, and everything was amazing! The scampi was super filling--plenty of shrimp and perfectly cooked pasta--and the drink was strong but really tasty (definitely recommend if you like fruity cocktails with a little kick--and a yummy sugary rim). i also had the french 45 and that was super strong and on the brut side if you like that kind of thing. The vibe was cute and modern but got nice and cozy once the lights dimmed later in the evening. It felt just right for a first date--relaxed but still a little fancy. My date said they enjoyed their food and drinks too, so that's a win! And the service was low key, and attentive which is what i prefer If you're looking for a spot with good food, great drinks, and a chill but romantic atmosphere, this is definitely worth checking out

This place is okay. The service is friendly, but the sushi is subpar unless you order one of the more expensive rolls. For instance, with the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and california rolls, the filling is lacking and the rolls are always wrapped quite sloppy. If I had to choose, the best rolls on the menu are the Mount Fuji and Thai Kiss. The Thai Kiss is pretty unique with red snapper tempura, asparagus, scallions, avocado, cheesy spicy crab mix, seared ahi tuna, pineapple mango salsa, and thai chili sauce. That one was quite flavorful!

Despite passing 45 degrees every time I go to Mass Ave, it had been years since I'd visited. As I looked for parking, I noticed how busy they were. A great evening and busy restaurant. Always good to see in Indy now days. We opted for an inside seat and ended up just outside the kitchen. It felt odd at first, but was totally fine! Thursday is half price cocktails and martinis and I was immediately glad my partner picked here. I'm a sucker for someone who likes a good deal. I started with the blueberry lemon drop martini and veggie rolls. Everything was great! I was even able to successfully use my chopsticks (it's the small things at times). I'll be back soon!

I like the sushi here. It's off mass ave so it's a prime location. They do have non sushi food operations, so it's a good place for groups who want a variety. Great ambiance. Good service. A bit expensive, but sushi isn't cheap. The outside dining area is great! Dog friendly.

Finally day of Devour Winter fest had to come here. They had 2 for $45 -3 course meals. This is an outstanding sushi restaurant. Not only is the food remarkable but the presentation is stellar. It's in a great location on Mass Ave. we came on Sunday and meter parking is free, a nice bonus. They have a stuffed pepper appetizer I'll definitely be back for. It's filled with rice scallops and shrimp. The egg-rolls were really good along with the ginger salad. The specialty sushi was my favorite. They have an Indy roll and Mass Ave and others. Cant wait to try a few others.

This was our first visit and we decided to come during Devour Indy. All I can say is WOW! We loved this place. We came for lunch and it wasn't overly crowded but it also wasn't a ghost town (which is always the best IMO). We were greeted immediately and offered our choice of tables. Our server, Autumn, was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and their offerings. Her excellent service continued throughout the meal, well paced check ins and brought the check expeditiously when appropriate. The food!!! It was soooo good. We started with the edamame and added the Tequila Blast. I am really glad we upgraded, it made the flavor unique. Edamame should always be warm, IMO, and this was. Lots of salt too (could be a negative for some but it was great for us). I also tried the Tomato Jalapeño soup and the tortilla croutons with the cheese garish was fantastic. My partner had the 45 Salad, and he ate every bite so it must have been pretty good. As for the main/rolls, I love that they offer soy paper. I love sushi but am not really a fan of nori. I got the 45 Roll and my partner got the amount Fuji roll. I loved mine and he loved his as well. Everything about our experience was great. We loved the music and that it wasn't too loud. Fantastic first experience here and we will definitely be back. Excited to plan a return visit.

My family and I met up at Forty Five Degrees to enjoy the Devour Winter Menu for lunch. There were 5 of us in our party and we were seated at one of the nice, round booths in front of the window facing Mass Ave. We really enjoyed the bright, open dining room and the raised seating. Audrey was our server and she was attentive while not being too eager or smothering. She was very approachable and made some good suggestions. I wanted to order a cocktail and wanted to decide between two options. She suggested the Strawberry Cooler and it was a nice detour from the types of drinks I usually order. I admit that I couldn't taste the alcohol, but I was able to sip it with my meal, which was nice! From the Devour Menu, my aunt and I ordered Potstickers as our first course (even though it was served 2nd, following our 2nd courses) and those were served hot & fresh! 10/10! My aunt didn't know what a potsticker was, but she is now a fan. For our second courses, I ordered Miso Soup (a favorite of mine) and my aunt ordered the Forty Five Degrees Salad. The Miso Soup was bland and tasted like water with seaweed and tofu floating in it. I was thoroughly disappointed. 0/10. My aunt really enjoyed her salad and I wished I'd ordered that instead. The majority of our food began arriving all at once, meaning that they were all fired at the same time and that was bad timing, in my opinion. I was also disappointed that our server didn't inquire about my full cup of soup. Aside from the taste, it was also cold when it came out. I would have liked if they offered to allow me to order something else in its place. I also order the Bangkok Shrimp which turned out to be the best item of the meal. It's not on the Devour Menu, but it is delicious. I deducted a point for the excessive amount of shredded cabbage/lettuce at the bottom of the cup. It presents as much more shrimp in the cup than there actually is. 9/10. Our main dishes were Chicken Teriyaki for me and Chicken Alfredo for my aunt. Both were suggestions from the server. I was told that the Chicken Teriyaki was the most popular item on the Devour Menu and it was underwhelming in flavor. It was very saucy, but somehow the chicken was still dry. My aunt was deciding between chicken and shrimp for her alfredo and was advised that you only get 4 shrimp, but with the chicken, you get a full breast. My aunt's chicken was also dry and she said the alfredo sauce needed more cheese. She took hers home to "doctor it up." In summary, everything that we had wasn't the best ever, but the service was good and the food came out fast. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere and presentation of the dishes. I'll return for the potstickers, Bangkok shrimp and to try some of the other menu items!

I love 45 degrees, it is a great place on mass Ave, however I ordered some take out because I was craving sushi! My order was very tasty, fresh and delicious, Decided to also order some crab Rangoon, it was also great, flavorful and the dipping sauce that came with it was the perfect addition! Check this place out if you are on mass Ave, you won't be disappointed!

I appreciate you trying to do sushi along with a list of other things. But when a person goes out to a "sushi restaurant" and orders tea I personally would have appreciated getting a heads up that you serve lipton tea in single serve tea bags. Just sayin

Forty Five overall was a good experience! Went on a Saturday night and the vibes were very fun. It was lively and there was fun music playing. They have fun drinks that were all pretty good. Our server was nice and attentive. Our friend didn't get his food until the rest of us were done eating. Overall it was a good experience. More of a party vibe rather than an intimate date night. Perfect place for Saturday night dinner and drinks!

Great service, great atmosphere!! Another great review for Forty Five Degrees! I got a ginger salad with a Corona Roll.

Came here with a friend and I forgot how much I actually loved this place in college! I ordered a salmon roll and vegetable egg rolls and both items were delicious. The waiter was kind enough to give me an extra side of spicy mayo for my roll. In addition, he was super attentive and patient with us as we scanned the menu for drinks. Ultimately, I decided on a cucumber mojito which was so refreshing. I also enjoy the fact that they have a bar inside and plenty of seating. Overall a fun night and great food!

Went for an afternoon lunch with my friend. As it was not rush hour, me and friend occupied the center table. Food - 5/5 ordered a lunch special where we can get soup/ salad and rolls. tomato jalapeño soup - extremely extremely good. Had feta cheese and jalapeños in it. veggie roll - good sushi role. Ambience - go for afternoon lunch when it's less crowded. Service - our server was a nice lady. She was nice and considerate about everything.

Want sushi in the Midwest?? Definitely come here. The sushi is good and varied. (Pretty sure we ordered one of almost everything including rolls and sashimi). The odd part of the menu..... the random Americanish plates for those offended by the thought of some raw fish. I don't know I personally would roll out in a date with someone who ordered Alfredo or chicken tenders at a sushi place.... But maybe someone's grumpy uncle demanded it and on the menu it went. Anyway... the rolls and sashimi were fresh. The mighty veggie was a hit even among the vegetable speculative. The brownie dessert is amazing with the melty chips in the warm brownie.

Food is good, but service is subpar. Make sure you never order through DoorDash. I came to pick up and the host said they didn't have the order and offered no solution. Manager called me over and said they didn't have it and it was showing cancelled. I reached out to DoorDash support to ask if they could reorder when the host said they never received it (was a lie) and they cancelled. On the tabled it showed the cancellation time and it was one minute prior from current time, but manager said he couldn't t see when it was cancelled and quickly switched to another customers order. I asked if there was a reason it hadn't been started and the manager said he had no idea and I should order by calling because DoorDash takes 30%. No apology or urgency Sushi is pretty solid for downtown Indy. Gotta throw in a star for this and some great lunch specials!

This was a last minute decision, but this place was really nice. The staff was great, the food excellent & the ambiance was relaxing. Sydney & Lilah we're amazing & helped us decide what options were great to try as first timers. There were couples on dates, groups of friends & people who were there unwinding after work (it seemed). They also has entree options aside from sushi for those who don't like sushi.

Decided to step out of the office and enjoy the sun. I sat outside. Different points I felt like my server took a while to come to me or that it took a while for my food to come out (it was SUPER chill. Not busy at all). However, the nice weather helped. I did the orange chicken lunch special. LOVED the veggie egg rolls. I would have appreciated more sauce on my orange chicken as that held all the flavor. The rice was kind of mushy opposed to like sticky white rice. I also had a sushi roll. I believe it was the Diablo. I got the salmon cooked. Soooo yummy with the dipping sauce that came with it. My server gave a beautiful nice touch on BOTH of my to go boxes that was appreciated because she didn't have to write a small note. I left very pleased

We stopped by here on Friday night around 10 PM and were quickly seated. Fortunately, we didn't need to make any reservations, but I do recommend it if you come to normal service. Our server was kind and gave his own recommendations. We had our water refilled often as well. The drinks we received were a Mojito and Sex on the Ave (not pictured). We ended up getting a Dynamite and Playboy Roll. The experience for the Playboy Roll was pretty interesting being provided a foil-wrapped sushi log and then being lit on fire. The sushi was a little expensive and we were also informed that the crab was imitation crab, which I guess is to be expected. The sushi was pretty standard but still good. There were a nice variety of items. We ordered a brownie (no picture, unfortunately) for dessert as well. Being new to Indy, our server was gracious enough to provide us with recommendations of places to check out in the area. Overall, I'd still recommend trying this place out if you're interested in their cocktails.

I came here for a work lunch and really enjoyed the place! They have some fun options and the sushi was very tasty. Miso was not great though so I don't recommend that. Definitely get the sushi and the edamame (with tequila!). They look like they have good cocktails too.

Lunch special is a sushi Roll / Soup or Small House Salad for $10. I like getting the shrimp tempura (california is meh), but I typically add another sushi roll b/c one just isn't filling enough (and I'm not a big eater). Enjoyed a Sunday special where all sushi was half off. We had the Black widow, Pandora, & Mass Ave sushi rolls (but with all the spicy sauces on the side.). Delicious & would order again. DO NOT ORDER THE BURGER. We've gotten it twice & both times it was dry & a bit hard. Maybe that's on us for ordering a burger at a sushi place, but it seems like a simple burger shouldn't be that hard to manage. The teriyaki chicken is good. The egg roll is not at all a standard egg roll....if that's what you're looking for, don't order it. It leaves me feeling disappointed.

Had dinner here for my friend's birthday. The waiter was excellent! She helped my indecisive self. She recommended a drink I forgot the name of it. But it was delicious and I got the play boy roll. My friend got the dynamite roll and neither of us cared for it. It was way too cheesy for me. We also got the Bangkok Shrimp which was like bang bang shrimp.

Came here on a Thursday around 5:30, so it wasn't too busy yet. Our server was great! The sushi was good - I thought it had an interesting spin to it. For example - the egg rolls weren't traditional egg rolls - they had chunks of green and red pepper, chunks of carrots and some cabbage. The crab rangoon was okay - small bites filled with mostly crab meat. The sushi was good. My husband loved the sashimi. What I didn't love was that our rolls and egg rolls were pretty slathered in sauce - I would have much rather controlled that on my own. The inside was bright, open and modern - you get to see all the action on Mass Ave!

This is a great sushi & cocktail spot! The patio is perfect for cocktails and apps in the summer. For the quality of food you get the prices are not bad especially compared to other sushi spots! The orange chicken entree is incredible and the fortyfive roll is as well! The crab Rangoon is delicious and actually is stuffed with lots of crab and not much of the cream filling!

Forty Five Degrees is a great stop for sushi. You will receive a card with a list of sushi you will check the box of which sushi you want and then give the card to your waiter to place your order. the sushi is delicious! We went on a Friday night with reservations and the restaurant was not packed at all so I say its safe not to call ahead to rsvp. Restaurant ambiance pretty chill, you can dress casual here.

The inside of the restaurant and the food itself were great. Cool place to come in and have a few drinks on Mass Ave, again the service is great. The food itself is just okay. I went expecting a true Asian-American fusion/experience, but the taste just wasn't there for me. I ordered several dishes between my friends and me, including the playboy roll, crab Rangoon, sushi with scallops, and spicy shrimp. No fish delivered the flavor I was expecting. It wasn't an expensive place, and again, I would recommend cocktails on Mass Ave, but I wouldn't have dinners or appetizers here again.

I am currently at 45 Degrees, and while the food is okay..the overall experience is not enjoyable. The service leaves much to be desired--my server is visibly picking her teeth while taking my order, which is really off-putting. It has been over 40 minutes, and I'm still waiting for my food to arrive. On top of that, the restaurant allows customers to smoke cigarettes on the patio area. The smoke is so overwhelming that I can't fully enjoy my time here. Due to these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.

First time at FourtyFive Degrees. Tonight was Dining Out For Life The food was excelent. I made reservations and that was a good thing. They got super busy. We were sat and the bartender came over and told us somone at the bar wanted to buy us a drink. We got a French Martini and a Mojito. We were able to thank the nice lady that did that. I ordered Crab Rangoons and a Ceasar Salad. The salad was ok. The Crab Rangoons were some of the best I've had. Entree was Beef and Broccoli. It was also really good. But a bit spicy. Husband got Ceasar Salad and Teriyaki Chicken. He was the same with the salad, just ok. He liked the Teriyaki Chicken. Dessert I ordered Tiramisu. Turned out they didn't have any but the server brought me out the new desert of the day. It looked like a Flourless Chocolate Cake. It wasn't thank goodness. It was so light and chocolaty but not heavy chocolate. It was super. Husband got the Brownie. It was also good but not as good as mine. Service was a bit slow at first but our server did a great job. The bartenders were nonstop moving. We were both very surprised how good everything was and why we've never been here.

I had heard a lot of about this sushi place Mass Ave so decided to give it a try. We got the vegetable tempura as an appetizer. It was crispy and tasted good with soy sauce! We did ask for some spicy mayo to spice it up a little . I also got the Mount Fuji roll. I prefer sushi rolls that are fully cooked so this didn't disappoint . It enjoyed the combination of shrimp tempura , avocados ,spicy mayo. (I am a fan of spicy mayo) Again it is not super spicy . When I claim it as not spicy that means it's not spicy as I'm someone whose spice tolerance levels are low. I wanted to go a Japanese beer so got the Asahi. It's a light beer so would recommend to give it try . The staff was very helpful and made suggestions based on what we asked . Also the place is decorated with rainbow colors for Pride month! This place is right on Mass Ave corner. Street parking is available but depending on the day it could be a little tricky .
