Koro Ramen & Sushi

We had a wonderful time at Koro Ramen & Sushi. It's exciting to have a Japanese food option in East Boston. The food was delicious, fresh, and very flavorful. We tried the veggie and shrimp sushi, and we will definitely be coming back!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Koro Ramen & Sushi! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of cozy and stylish decor. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our meal. The food was outstanding — every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We tried the Short Rib Ramen and Koro, and it was cooked to perfection. The ingredients were clearly fresh, and you could tell a lot of care went into each plate. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a wonderful dining experience. I’ll definitely be back soon!

This is a great new food option in Eastie. Very clean inside and we were able to get seats right away around 6pm on a Thursday. I had the shrimp tempura roll and a build-your-own ramen. I thought the sushi was very good and a good size for the price. I love the option to pick all your own ramen components. The tonkotsu broth was delicious and the pork belly was super tender. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be back!

Koro is the new spot. From the moment you walk in, it's got that vibe – effortlessly chic, but still welcoming. You can tell there was thought and attention to detail about the whole experience. The sushi is so fresh, it's insane. You can really taste the quality, and tell that everything's made with so much care. Eastie has been needing a place like this, and Koro Ramen & Sushi is it. I'm so excited to have this restaurant in the neighborhood. It's not just a spot for food, it's a whole mood and so is Chef Harold.

I’ve been counting down the days until Koro opened & the ramen was even better than I expected! So many toppings to choose from and they FILLED the bowls 😋 - so worth it!! The staff is also amazing and very friendly. When I walked in, I was handed a menu and got served very quickly - really great first impression before I even tasted the food! I can’t wait to come back soon and try the sushi!

If you're looking for a good atmosphere, friendly customer service (at least, a smile), and authentic Japanese food, don't go to this place. I ordered a spicy crab roll, which took them about 25 minutes to prepare. I was pretty annoyed because my friends were eating while I just sat there watching them, and to make it worse, the spicy crab roll was just ok. Also, this place does not serve authentic Japanese food, and none of the kitchen staff are Japanese. I didn’t like the vibes at all. The girls taking my order and my friend’s order were not friendly; they looked stressed out and didn’t even smile.

As a sushi lover I was so excited to hear that this restaurant was opening in Eastie. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the expectation. The chicken karaage was good but the sushi was disappointing. I had the golden sunset and philly rolls. The fish did not taste very fresh, rice was not seasoned well, the mango was unripe, thin and leathery, and the roll quality was poor (see photos: not filled and pieces cut unevenly). Their specialty roll was so small, the same size as a basic maki despite being double in price. I do hope things improve so we can have some good Japanese food in East Boston.

Koro Ramen and Sushi fills a much-needed gap in the Jeffries Point neighborhood, offering fresh sushi, hearty ramen, and flavorful poke bowls. I am so glad they opened since there hasn’t really been any good, healthy, and Asian spots. This restaurant focuses primarily on takeout, making it a convenient option for locals seeking good food without the fuss. During my recent pickup order, I was impressed by both the value and quality. The poke bowl was generously portioned and well worth the price - clearly made with fresh ingredients that showcased the restaurant’s commitment to quality. The karaage chicken was a standout, featuring crispy, perfectly seasoned pieces paired with a creative chipotle mayo sauce that added a nice fusion twist to the traditional Japanese preparation. While I didn’t have the chance to experience the dine-in atmosphere, the takeout process was smooth and efficient. The variety on the menu - spanning sushi, ramen, and poke options - gives Koro an edge in a neighborhood where fresh, well-prepared Asian cuisine has been hard to come by. I hope to return soon and often!
