Kappo Sushi and Ramen

Stopped here for an early dinner while picking my brother up from Boston(4/9). This is the type of place I tend to enjoy. Casual spot, quick service and affordable food. Mostly students when we went. I had the chicken donburi while my brother had the poke and sushi. The chicken donburi was crispy and delicious. Lightly fried and not too greasy. Teriyaki sauce was sweet and not too overpowering. My brother enjoyed his poke and sushi as well but said the poke was just alright for the price. Nothing special. If you’re looking for a quick bite that won’t break the bank, this is a good spot. Will have to try the sushi burrito if I ever come back here.

Casual, counter-serve kitchen that serves sushi rolls and ramen. Stumbled upon this place while strolling around Fenway. During a busy Saturday lunch hour, the dining room was completely empty, so I initially didn’t have high expectations. Along with some shumai, I got two of their specialty rolls. The shumai tasted like it came straight out of a microwave from a frozen packet, but it was still decent. Thankfully, the specialty sushi rolls were satisfying. Between the Blizzard and the Crazy Maki, my favorite was the Crazy Maki, which came with a surprisingly thick layer of sesame tuna tartare on top. Similarly, the Blizzard rolls came with a generous layer of crab stick, and a light drizzle of sriracha sauce added a nice flavor boost. Since they’re also on Fooda, I got to try their poke for lunch as well. Despite its relatively high price, the Poke bowl was somewhat of a letdown in terms of both size and quality. With just seaweed salad, avocado, and tobiko, it lacked complexity and refinement, and it was one of the most basic poke I had in a while. Overall, a solid budget option for sushi rolls. While some of their offerings may be a miss, the quality and value of their specialty rolls make it a worthy contender.

Update 2/28/2024: After a second visit, I'm upgrading to 5/5 stars. On this visit I ordered one of their specialty rolls, the "Rainbow Roll" and the spicy tuna roll again. Both were better than on my first visit, and I'm glad I went back. Original: I think this was a solid 4/5 stars experience. It was better than just okay, but not like "wow, I'm in love." Admittedly, I've only started to appreciate sushi in the past couple of years, but I have a clue. I got the salmon roll and the spicy tuna roll, and I thought they were good but not great. The salmon had a nice texture but a bit of a fishy taste. The spicy tuna was better -- not very spicy though, which is fine for my Midwest palate. I'm glad I got two rolls, because the rolls were pretty small. I thought this was good, but slightly less tasty than the pre-packed sushi rolls I get at the supermarket sushi counter -- and I'm not talking about Whole Foods here -- I'm talking about Meijer, our supermarket chain in Michigan. The sushi rolls we make at home are way better. I went there with a co-worker from California, and she thought it was pretty good, if that helps. Still...good, not great. Four stars.

I got the mango sushi roll and it was fantastic, some of the best shrimp tempura and juiciest mango I have had! What a wonderful pairing, perfectly sized and very fresh shrimp! The tempura coating was light so the shrimp really shone through

I had a spicy eel and cucumber and also had the pork buns and I really liked everything. Good amount of seating and food was out pretty quick.

Nice, clean place with friendly, efficient servers. Food is alright - notably, shumai had that classic taste and the eel nigiri was flavorful and pretty. However, rolls can be a bit hit-or-miss; some pieces were way more rice and filler than fish, and the fish itself wasn’t always particularly anything to rave about. But a good choice for a nicely priced sushi dinner.

The lunch deals are where you get your money's worth! For dinner the price point is OK for takeout but beware, prices online for takeout are higher than if you would call to order pickup. Quality of the fish is good especially for the price and the sushi rolls are a good portion. Really disliked the ramen I thought it was tasteless and a weird combo for the price. The rice bowls do not have a lot of meat so stick to sushi if you come here!

Was advertised online that there is a “ Happy Hour! 10% off all items!” Upon driving 30 minutes to get to the location, the worker first claimed that it was no a thing anymore (despite the website dating it June 2). After talking the worker then said I needed to order online to get the discount, which was also not true. Lastly she claimed that the things I ordered was not eligible. Feels like a scam.
