Where to Eat and Drink in Allston | Eater Boston

"If you didn’t think Allston has excellent sushi, think again. Oppa Sushi is a bit of a hidden gem in the neighborhood, but they’ve been serving top-notch sushi for a decade. The spot features inventive maki rolls, sushi, sashimi, as well as entrees like bibimbap." - Lala Thaddeus

A literally hidden gem on the busy Harvard Street. Nestled in the basement level of a red building, this seemingly suspicious looking place is actually packed with a friendly environment, good food, and good service. I came in with low expectations and was very much surprised. From my photos, I ordered the patriot roll, black dragon roll, tornado maki, and fried softshell crab. It all tasted delicious. VERY delicious. The sauces that came with the special sushi rolls are supreme and they were packed with ingredients. Pricing was as expected and for some strange reason their canned Coca-Cola tasted really good too. Only caveat is that this restaurant only accepts cash but they have an ATM.

Sushi is great, prices are better, and the owners are the sweetest hosts! Just picked up an order today and felt like the prodigal son returning home the way the owners greeted me with smiles and joy. Me and my girlfriend’s new spot for good, cheap sushi.

Always the absolute best! Been coming here for about a decade both for nights out and for special occasions (the party boats are BOMB). Love the chef who makes truly phenomenal sushi and is just so personable/delightful. It's worth becoming a regular here for sure!

I've tried almost every other sushi place around allston but I keep going back to oppa. Fresh fish and a great fish-to-rice ratio at a fair price. And the people who work there are all wonderful! Pictured are black dragon maki and allston maki (not exactly sure what's on it and the menu doesn't say, but it's tasty as heck).

One of my favorite sushi places in the Allston area. It’s almost underground and they’ve recently expanded so it’s not tight and uncomfortable. Staff is always very friendly and it’s a great place to go as a group. You can try multiple rolls Without breaking the bank. Also, if you do go alone the rolls are reasonably priced as well. I’ve tried most of their menu and they never disappoint. Checkout the photos below and ask for the flaming sushi, it’s great for show! Fresh fish and hot sake = great time and happy bellies

The best sushi spot we have found near us. The fish is fresh especially the tuna which is my favorite but can be very hit or miss at other places. The appetizers are also great and the miso soup is delicious with plenty of flavor, tofu, and seaweed! Also, the people are kind and welcoming at the restaurant. There is good reason that Oppa has a great rating!

My friend and I came here looking for some Korean style sushi. While their menu was limited than I initially expected, we were able to find the spicy fish bowl soup which is a popular dish in Korea during the summer. The bowl came with an icy cold broth and vegetables that enhanced the refreshing aftertaste. The classic combination of thinly sliced squid and the sweet and spicy broth was nice, but the broth was too sweet for my taste. We also had the regular sushi and the scallop yaki, but both were unfortunately mediocre at best. Without AC, the restaurant was extremely hot and humid. The servers tried their best to provide us with a table closest to a fan, but it was pointless. Humidity and temperature are also critical factors in maintaining the quality of the sushi, so it was a bit concerning. We were also hugely disappointed when we found out that some items on the menu were more expensive than what was indicated. The fish bowl soup ended up being $10 more expensive, and we didn’t realize this until we got out. Although I would love to give a higher rating for their superb service, the overall experience wasn’t worth what I paid for.

Best place for sushi in Alston, maybe all of Boston. Owners are super kind, chef is very talented, and all around good, welcoming vibes

Have been wanting to try this restaurant for ages. Oh man, the wait was worth it! Cutest space, and friendliest staff. Had a definite Japan vibe, and heard Japanese customers thanking the staff respectfully while I was waiting for my takeout. Cash only! Got one of the special rolls- the Celtics roll. It had shrimp tempura inside and cucumber, and torched salmon and avocado on top. Also got some inari, which is one of my go-to rolls at any sushi place- sweet tofu skin roll. Comes with miso soup and a can of soda. Felt warm inside, like a neighborhood place. I snapped some photos of some of the specials I noticed- which must make it fun, and shake things up day to day.

Cute spot for lunch. It's pretty dated, but cozy and the owner was by himself when we came for lunch. The sushi is great price to ratio and very filling. Ofc we went for the flaming bruins maki, the baked scallop maki, and the red dragon maki. Now i must say majority of the maki have shrimp tempura in it as a base with various tuna and salmon etc on top. Great flavors and he's generous with the portions. The sashimi was fresh and large slices! The agedashi tofu needed to be heated more but the owner made that right real fast! Thank you for that! Overall this isn't a super fancy, super high end priced spot. If you want good flavors fresh fish and at a good price, come support him! Will be back! (3.5/5 overall score imo) On side note there was a "sewer-y" smell down there which was a bit off putting but not sure if it was the space, the old building or the street somewhere.

I've been to Oppa Sushi a few times now and there's a reason for that! The food is great and fresh! Prices are fair and is not something I would complain about. The atmosphere could be better. The restaurant is literally like in a basement. The tables and chairs felt cheap and there wasn't a whole lot of seating available so plan ahead if you have a big group. We tried a variety of rolls, one of which came out flaming which was definitely cool! FOOD: 8.5/10 SERVICE: 7.5/10 (nothing exceptional)

Over the years, I have heard great things about Oppa Sushi in Allston. Oppa Sushi is the epitome of "hole in the wall". Located in a basement setting, it has a little bit of a run down aesthetic, but exceptional sushi for can't be beat prices. One time a few years ago, one of my friends and I were planning to try this place out, however, I did not make it down the stairs because I could not get over this sewer-like smell. Fast forward two years later... I finally decided to visit (there is still that sewer like smell but I really wanted to try the fire bruins maki). We were greeted by the owner upon walking in and we were served miso soup right after being seated ;) For food, we ordered the sashimi appetizer, agedashi tofu, fire bruins maki, red dragon maki, & the patriots maki. **the rolls are super generous & filling! I enjoyed the rolls & sashimi appetizer. My favorite was the one with the imitation crab & scallops. I do not believe that one is "baked" because it did come cold, which is all right, but an observation. Most of the rolls here have tempura included with the exception of a couple. The agedashi tofu we ordered unfortunately was served cold. We notified the owner and he was able to heat it up for us, no problem. Our experience here is really a 3.5/5, but the owner was very nice & kind ;) This is a good place to go for fairly priced sushi; very generous portions, the rolls are huge !

i adore oppa sushi. this is my favorite take-out sushi place, a reliable good. they have great specialty rolls and they come at a good deal. i've actually never sat in and ordered food here, only take out and this is the thing i look forward to the most after a long week. i pretty much always get the crazy maki, and mix it up with other special rolls.

Our experience: We have been excited to try this place for a while!!! Entered down the stairs of a dark restaurant that looks run down and slightly dirty. Very much in need of a makeover. We are seated at the back in the corner going up another random uneven step again. We are served water only after we ask and the cups are face down at the table. We pour into what turns out to be a dirty greasy cup smelling like peanuts. We ask to order, and about their toro nigiri, we are how much and end up being charged double what originally told.. We ordered tea that never came and ended up asking for our order to go just to be able to go home to eat it. The food: very mediocre. I've had comparable sushi at an all-you-can-eat buffet. The toro was some of the worst I've had, poorly cut and not the greatest taste. I personally wouldn't recommend this place until they get their food, service, and ambiance in order.

Got takeout from here and it was excellent! It was quick and very fairly priced. The inside was cute and I defiantly want to come back and dine in. I was greeted when I came in to pickup my order and I got the red dragon maki and soup and both were phenomenal.

Favorite sushi spot! Have no idea why it took me so long to try it. I've had takeout and dine in, both equally great. Scallop roll is my go to! Large pieces of scallops perfectly torched. I've ordered a variety of rolls and apps and haven't had any complaints. All around delicious. Nice date night spot. Parking may be difficult on weekend nights but doable.

Ordered delivery. Maybe it was just an off night since this place is so highly rated, but it was genuinely the worst sushi I've ever had from an actual sushi restaurant. I got the three spicy fish rolls combo and a patriot's roll. The rice was hard and they skimped on the fish, stuffing additional rice inside the center of the rolls. It's nice that they included miso soup - and I've never not enjoyed a miso soup, even grocery store packets - but this just didn't taste good. Still two stars because it didn't seem unsafe to eat or anything.

Yelp
Let me start by saying the service is great, and the reason I'm giving a 3 star review is purely due to personal preference. Service is great - servers are always so friendly and welcoming. They give good recommendations. Ambience - great ambience. Cute decor inside. Cute hole in wall setting. Lots of seating too. Food - good sushi if you're into sushi rolls that are on the "heavier" or "denser" side (more sauce, more condiments, more flavoring) and less on the fish side (personally, I feel like the sushi fish flavors get overwhelmed or covered by certain sauces like their spicy mayo, eel sauce etc). This is not to say that all the rolls are like this! If you get for example a rainbow roll or a roll without all the sauces or flavorings on top, it probably tastes on the "lighter" side of things. Again, this is purely a personal preference but I still think it's good sushi at the end of the day. I just left feeling super full and felt like they go heavy on the sauce (eg spicy mayo)

I was skeptical based on the aging exterior of the restaurant, and the homey interior of wooden tables and two separate rooms didn't change my first impression. On the other hand, my guest and I had first-rate sushi rolls and enjoyed every bite. We ordered the Patriots Maki, Red Dragon Maki, and California Maki. It was fresh, it was tasty, it was colorful, and every roll held together well. The complimentary miso soup sang with umami and soy. I would've ordered more but it was only lunchtime and we had a big dinner planned. If I had to note some negatives - yes, the rice is juuuuuust slightly less starchy than you might want, and more vinegar might bring things into balance. But these in my book are not enough to warrant taking off one star. Moreover I'm just no fan of using QR codes for menus on my phone. There is a 5% surcharge for credit cards (definitely on the high end!), so bring cash.

I ordered sushi here for my family...I don't eat sushi, however. As such, I can only tell you this little hole in the wall offers great service and has a pretty broad menu with cooked/raw foods. I ordered the sashimi deluxe and its about $40 and came with 2 very small miso soups. The family seemed to enjoy it. We've been here before a few times, so that must mean we enjoy it.

I was desperate to have fresh sushi without having to interrupt binge watching season 3 of The Witcher. My wife reluctantly agreed and made a run to OPPA on Harvard Ave in Allston Ma. While I hadn't been there before we ordered from Yelp and didn't have to wait at all. The California Roll with Maki, Gyoza (steamed dumplings) and other sides were all tasty and fresh. The price was low for the quality of food and service but I'm not complaining! If you are near Allston you will want to give this place a try!

Had the mango salmon harmony maki for takeout. The roll was okay. Nothing special. The rice was the weakest part of the roll. It was a bit mushy and made the roll lack some structural integrity. Can't comment on service or ambiance.

The sake-don bowls are $27.50 for 15 pieces of salmon. Pretty good price for fresh-tasting salmon. Their sushi rice is a little underwhelming, which docks them a point to 4. Other than that, I have no complaints. We ordered takeout and the pickup process was very smooth. I would definitely come back! Even though we only got sake-don bowls, their a la carte sushi prices also look fair. I hope to try their sushi sometime!

It's taken me a long time to find my favorite sushi in Boston, and this is it! It's so good I had it twice in the span of four days. We first came here on a Saturday night, with the wait being about half an hour. You can enjoy some boba from the nearby Tiger Sugar while you wait outside. The restaurant is partially underground and cozy. You know you're going to eat some authentic Asian food when they have you sitting essentially in their storage supply area. Our server had initially forgotten about us, but the heart-shaped sushi that they brought out to us made up for it. We ordered the Oppa maki, red dragon maki, and super crunch maki. They were all incredible! Super flavorful, with the perfect ratio of toppings. You can tell that the fish is good quality too. For the three maki, it was about $45 pre-tip, which is a great price for how full the two of us were! I'm super picky about sushi, because I often feel like the price isn't worth how hungry I am afterwards. At Oppa, I can assure you you're getting your money's worth!!

I love this spot! If you're looking for an aesthetic interior, do not go here. It's meant to serve people who was high quality food and don't mind how it's in a basement. I LOVE ALL THE SUSHI and they're so nice!! Real foodies eat at Oppa

Whenever I'm craving special sushi rolls and am looking to be so full I can barely walk, I order the five special roll deal for about $60 something to share for 2 people with some leftovers. HITS. THE. SPOT. Their beef kimbap is also so delicious! Basically, I'm always craving this place. Great value and taste for the price point!

Oppa is a hole in a wall sushi spot (which is how you know it's going to be good). The ambiance is very simple and reminds me of a classic sushi takeout spot. The prices are amazing for Boston and we ended up getting 4 rolls and an appetizer for less than $50. Sushi was really good, my only thing is I wish they had more options for their signature rolls that aren't shrimp.

This was our first time trying a new sushi place by our new home and when we arrived there was a sign on the door saying they are closed from 3-4 for a break. After the great reviews and yummy sounding sushi options we waited it out nearby and thankfully so, we were beyond impressed. As soon as they opened back up the staff was immediately welcoming, quick to seat us, and we were served all our dishes fairly quick. The sushi is worth every penny and very affordable menu items range for every budget and there's something for everyone on the menu. We ordered 4 rolls to share, the spicy salmon ball as an appetizer and it came with miso soup which was a nice surprise! Already can't wait for our next visit!

I ordered their spicy roll combo ($18) which came with 8 pieces each of spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, and spicy salmon. Whereas the other sushi places I order from will mix the fish with spicy mayo, the rolls here were plain but topped with spicy mayo instead. The rolls tasted nice but were small. I also got the mango madness combo ($35) which came with 3 rolls: pink lady, french kiss, and salmon mango harmony. The pink lady roll is a soy paper roll with salmon, avocado, cream cheese, mango, and tobiko. I personally prefer nori rolls instead of soy paper rolls. The combination of avocado and cream cheese in the roll made it have a very creamy texture-- this could be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. I wasn't too big of a fan. The french kiss roll had cream cheese, avocado, and mango inside, then was topped with thick cuts of salmon and tuna. The fish was fresh and thick. This roll was pretty similar to the pink lady but I preferred this one because it had nori and the fish-to-everything else ratio was much higher. The salmon mango harmony roll had salmon and mango, topped with more salmon and mango. Probably the best of the three rolls in terms of flavor (maybe I just like simple rolls?), but the rice was very thick on this one. The rolls were barely filled. The mango in all the rolls was on the crunchier side. It was sweet, but was fibrous rather than soft. The combos came with miso soup as well. I know things get complicated with delivery and sometimes food cools down but this miso soup was so cold I wouldn't be surprised if it had been sitting on the countertop for an hour. I liked their spicy rolls but I wouldn't recommend the mango rolls (unless you're just a really big fan of mango). The prices are good for what you get, but the rolls are on the skinny side. While everything tasted good, I was disappointed by the cold miso soup.

I have been here 2x and can confirm that I am in love. This place has some of the best quality and best tasting sushi that I've ever had. Also, the prices are reasonable. This place is quite small, but I did not have an issue getting seated right away the first time. The second time I ordered take out. My first visit was with 2 friends. We tried the French Kiss maki, Mango Harmony maki, spider maki and sashimi plate. Highly highly recommend the sashimi. It was melt in your mouth delicious and so fresh. The rolls were also delicious. My favorite was the French kiss, then mango, and spider roll being the least favorite. Our sushi came with miso soup which was yummy too. My second time was via take out. I ordered 3 spicy maki rolls, mango harmony and fresh kiss again since they were delicious. We ate all 5 rolls. We never eat all of our sushi. 10/10 highly recommend this place to everyone I talk to.

Yelp
This is my go to for sushi delivery. It's a good price and always reliable. They include miso soup even if you don't order it. I recommend the tuna avocado and salmon avocado rolls. The only reason it's not five stars is because every "spicy" option is DOUSED in their spicy mayo sauce, to the point where mayo is a main flavor. So I don't recommend those options, which are usually my favorite at other places.

Oppa Sushi has fresh and generous servings of sushi & Korean dishes. But the most unique thing that Oppa has going is Korean style sashimi and family style meals. The latter requires a minimum of 4 people and it's course after course of delicious delicacies from salmon and tuna sashimi to squid salad (also available as a separate order - they have conch salad too!) to trays of fresh of whole white fish sashimi (available to order separately and comes with cucumbers, seaweed, lettuce, sauces & jalapeños to make delicious ssam wraps), ankimo (monkfish liver), hamachi collar, shrimp tempura, flaming roll, takoyaki, spicy ramen, & spicy fish stew. At the end of the day, great sushi but also so many delicacies you won't find anywhere else in Boston.

A standout for Boston sushi, ticks all the boxes: fresh, top quality, and flavorful. Some of our favorites: Appetizers *Fried oysters (super juicy with a perfect shell) *Takoyaki Maki (=6 pieces, w/ avocado=8 pieces) *Eel (unagi) *Yellowtail (negihama) *Salmon Special rolls *Spider roll or Soft shell crab Sushi * Mackerel (Saba) * Salmon *Toro I would personally choose these above the Tuna, Spicy crunchy salmon, and Patriot maki--all delicious but just like the above better. I think that's a really personal preference though. One last thing: based on all the great reviews, we'd like to try the shrimp tempura or shrimp tempura maki next.

This place never disappoints - sushi is always fresh and tasty. I've also gotten the tasting menu by calling in advance and it's so much delicious food. Oppa (the owner/sushi maker) is so friendly and welcoming. I always order the ankimo (monkfish liver) which is seasoned deliciously. They serve beer and soju. They also have korean sushi here too - a large amount of white fish sashimi with gochuchang for dipping. You go downstairs to the restaurant which is in a basement. Highly recommend trying this place!

This hidden gem is serving up some of the freshest sushi in Boston! We got the Party Boat for 2 and it was divine. My favorite roll was definitely the dragon maki. The tuna sashimi was delicious as well. The service was very fast and friendly and I really loved the presentation of the rolls!

Fantastic sushi spot in Allston! I got take out to celebrate the end of 2020 and it was just the perfect way to end the year. We ordered the 5 roll special which included: Crazy Maki, Super Crunch Maki, Rainbow Roll, Frenchkiss Maki, and Patriots Maki. All 5 rolls were fantastic and packed with fishy and shrimp goodness. I love fried oysters so had to get the kaki fry and it was just SO good! It was a 20 min drive back home so I expected the outside to be a little soggy but the fried oysters was still crunchy! You can't go wrong with any rolls here! Every one of them is so creative and yummy. The staff is friendly and it's easy to order online.

Tonight was one of the best nights of this month. Oppa Sushi has satiated my craving for good Japanese food. The sushi was beautifully garnished, the rolls were creative and simply delectable. The Black Sea bass is my recommendation. It was fresh, deep and charred well. The soft shell crab appetizer and Shishamo was well done as well! The shishamo were all female fishies, packed with eggs! As the Late flame hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, would say, UMAI Love, Koh

Basement level restaurant that started off in the first room and eventually expanded out to the other side of the building not long before Covid 19. I really hope they make it through Covid, its a great non-descript korean sushi restaurant with a very friendly staff. Their special rolls are delicious and price fairly and their sushi entrées are worth the price. Post-covid, I am looking forward to having the Korean omakase. You need 4 people because there is just way too much food. Just pace yourself. What makes Korean omakase unique is the whole flounder sashimi. The first time I tried it in Korea, I was not a fan but when I tried it again at Oppa, I thought it was great! Also enjoy it with some soju.

My friends and I came here for the first time because of a Thanksgiving special offered from their Instagram page. It consisted of 7 makis, 2 edamame's and 5 miso soups (they kindly gave 6 so each person could have one) for $100! All of the sushi's tasted delicious and fresh! Barely even needed the soy sauce on the side. The makis offered was patriots, Celtics, super crunch, baked spicy scallop, spider, red dragon, and rainbow French kiss. My favorites we're definitely the Celtics, super crunch, baked spicy scallop, and spider. The rainbow French kiss was probably my least favorite. Miso soup was slightly watered down but still a nice started prior to sushi. We also ordered fried soft shell crab, fried calamari, and takoyaki for more appetizers. Both the soft shell crab and calamari had a satisfying layer of tempera batter on it, tasting great! The takoyakis were served hot and fresh. For additional entrees we shared the beef bulgogi noodle soup and spicy seafood noodle soup. Both portions were huge and enough for our party of 6 to share both. The bulgogi beef tasted sweet and smokey with a flavorful broth. The spicy broth was definitely manageable in heat level. Loved the ramen offered in both dishes. Overall, great experience from a locally owned restaurant. Definitely will come back and support their business. An incredibly friendly and accommodating staff.

Really wanted to like this place but I thought everything was just ok - nothing super special except good prices for sushi! Maybe it was just that day, but none of the sushi that I ordered really screamed out to me that I needed to come back again for it. Might try it one more time to see if I had just missed the hype that day.

Such a cute hidden gem!! It's located underground, but the sign is pretty clear so you can't miss it. A charming, cozy spot for your Japanese and Korean craves. They also play old school Korean music so you're getting that chill vibe as you eat- so cute!! I asked our waiter which sushi roll he preferred of the two options I gave him and he went with the FIRE BRUINS. It was packed with flavor I didn't even really need soy sauce, but I love dipping just a little bit out of habit. We got a mix of their special rolls and other makis too! Amazing quality and taste. I rec trying the ALLSTON MAKI- it wasn't shaped like your average maki roll, it was almost like a mini pizza. I'm really excited to go back next time to try the other fun makis. We also ordered CHEESE CORN for the table and it was GOOD. Love the smoky flavor from it, definitely try this combo if you haven't yet. It's always a staple for me! This is THE place for your Korean and Japanese cravings!! I love that they carry both cuisines and offer numerous different options. I almost didn't know what to order because it all sounded soooo good. Definitely going to start being a go-to place!

There is too much to say about my disappointment with Oppa Sushi in not only the food but also the service we have had. I have ordered takeout from Oppa Sushi in the past, but this was my first time dining in and would be my last. Coming in, we ordered the baked spicy scallop maki, caterpillar maki, Allston maki, spicy salmon maki, patriots maki, and don katsu. The server handed us water jugs but did not give us cups, which we had to request from her. Later when the sushi was served, we were not given plates, napkins, or chopsticks - all of which we had to individually remind our server to provide for us. I understand forgetting in the beginning if you were not prepared to seat us, but the restaurant was not overly busy, so I can not comprehend why she was not aware of what our table was missing. After eating the sushi, we noticed that we were not full, so we also added the Celtics maki and lion king maki. When the two additional maki orders came out, we noticed that it had been over 30 minutes since we had yet to receive our previously ordered don katsu. We reminded another server who kindly came to our table, and he found out that our previous server had neglected to put the order in properly. We decided to wait for the katsu, which ended up taking at least another half of an hour for it to come out. Our female server did not even acknowledge or apologize for her mistake. Despite this lack of service, they had automatically charged our table for an 18% gratuity, which I find absolutely shameless when we barely had decent service. None of the sushi were honestly that remarkable in taste. They were drowned in spicy mayo sauce, making it hard to differentiate the taste between each maki. The katsu was also pretty mediocre with the rice being the only saving grace of the dish. Needless to say, I will be going elsewhere for better sushi and service.

Drove by this place quite a few times and never thought to try it, but I noticed its positive Yelp status. Gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised. Thought the chirashi could've had slightly more volume given it's price but nevertheless it was a solid bowl. Can't go wrong with gyoza. Maki were clean and tasty. We had to take some of the katsu curry home, but that was a well-made dish too.

Went in with high expectations seeing the 4.5/5 star reviews on Google reviews and Yelp. Sadly the experience was quite disappointing. We were originally planning to dine in but the restaurant interior just wasn't particularly inviting and there was a musty smell in the atmosphere right after we entered the restaurant. We still wanted to try the sushi so we opted to get takeout instead. We ordered one salmon maki ($6) and one tuna maki ($6.50). Each maki came with six pieces of sushi. For around $1 per piece, the quality was mediocre at best. The salmon and tuna fish were just ok, and there was way too much rice. We also didn't like how they added a bunch of scallions in each piece of sushi. Really don't know why they are trying to be overly innovative with their makis as it did not mention there were scallions included in the makis. We won't be coming back here again.

I was craving bibimbap so I decided to stop in. The staff were super friendly and service was quick (it's just assembling vegetables anyway). Got the vegetable bibimbap, no egg, to make it vegan. They have a few other vegan options like avocado rolls and tofu skin rolls but they are all very basic and probably not worth the price. The meal came with free miso soup which was nice, not too salty. The bibimbap itself was very standard, normal banchan and everything but they added avocado so that was a non traditional but yummy touch. There are signs saying uni (sea urchin) is back so if you're interested, it's there lol. They played a BTS sing so that was fun. :) I think I'm gonna do a tour of bibimbaps in the area, so we'll see how this one ranks when I have something to compare it to.

This review is pick up only. Food was delicious! I ordered the party boat for 2ppl. Food was delicious! The fish tasted fresh and the little touches they did were nice (scallions and lemons). Food was presented well and didn't feel all crammed in. The only downside and why this isn't a 5 star is because after we did an order, the gentleman on the phone said 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, I was there and it looks like they completely forgot my order as it took 20 more mins to make. No apologies or any explanation. I would still recommend though as the food is good and I'm sure this was a one time fluke!

This place is all around good. I ordered hand roll special but substituted the tuna for extra salmon avocado due to dietary intolerance. Rolls were good. Recommend to eat in, while the nori got a little moist on way home. Flavour was good. Price is very good. Interior of restaurant wasn't horrible. Seems definitely divey. I just expect restaurants to be tidier. Two separate rooms are available for dining. Waited 15 mins for a couple of hand rolls on not a busy night. Friendly staff. I'd go there again for the good sushi deals!
