Always a great experience at Basho and today was no different! Also went here a couple weeks back with friends who had never been.Today with the great weather we sat outside - perfect evening on Boylston street. We ordered the pork gyoza dumplings - perfect - crispy on the outside and soft and delicate tasty on the inside. I got the miso soup which comes in a large clear mug that looks like a measuring cup - it's quite a good portion and lots of tofu and seaweed.I ordered the yellowtail hamachi fish which is a fried fish appetizer. I ordered a side of rice to make it like an entree. It was good - crispy skin and outer layer and tender flaky inside- well cooked. The hubs ordered two sushi rolls the jalapeño salmon and the 1338 - salmon and tuna with spicy mayo. He enjoyed it - he says "tickled his tastebuds, fresh, a bit spicy"!I think they expanded their menu or maybe they added pictures of everything in the menu so it's a lot more pages now. Service was efficient although the sushi took a while to come out.All in all a very good experience as always!

We came here on 4th of July. The restaurant was empty (only 2 other tables besides ours) and it still took a while for service and food to come up. The food itself was so blah YIKES! It was our fault for going out on the 4th expecting to find decent food not to mention that the reviews on Yelp were already less than favorable. That Shrimp dish was nasty and my Chicken Satay wasn't any good either nor was the peanut Thai sauce. With as much as food costs these days I get a bit miffed when the bill is expensive and you barely touch ANY of the dishes and have no desire to take any of it home... to me (as a foodie) that says A LOT. BTW we sat outside it was the afternoon but the interior was rather dark. Respectfully Reviewed.

Food is nasty. Fried rice had no flavor and beef was inedible. Sushi was not bad but not memorable.

Ordinary food that is neither great nor terrible, but overly glamorized and overpriced with no real reason.

This is a great place to get sushi in the Fenway. Quick service and rapid seating got us off to a foot start. This place has a reasonable craft beer selection on tap, augmented by a full bar and cans and bottles. I ordered the sushi and the selection was broad, the fish fresh, and the prices were reasonable.

I loooove basho in Fenway! At first I wasn't willing to try their restaurant because I usually get their express sushi and it's not that good. However, the restaurant has a ton of options and delicious food. I got the Alaskan roll, seaweed salad and udon. It is freshly prepared and served quickly. The food is reasonably priced. All the waiters are kind and friendly. I usually go to Basho on weekdays for lunch and there's not too many people which is a huge plus. The restaurant is incredibly spacious with plenty of tables and it is located right next to Fenway park. Street parking may be hard to find but the restaurant is accessible by the green line. Overall rating: 9/10

We are from San Francisco and heard good things about this restaurant so decided to try. It was our first time dining at BASHO. Our friends and we had a very pleasant dining experience. The food was fresh, authentic and delicious! The restaurant was clean, neat and tidy. First, we'd like to thank the manager Forbes for his help in satisfying our seating arrangement requests. Second, we'd like to thank our server for taking our order so carefully. I have a lot of dietary restrictions and he was very informative and knowledgeable. Last, we wish BASHO success and we'll definitely be back next time we are in Boston.

Great food right next to fenway. Great service. Lots of selections. I went with the tasty roll. We also had edamame and the Tuna tempura mango salsa. The Phoenix roll was excellent as well. They have a great selection of drinks. I saw that they had a Japanese whiskey on tap. I need to come back and try that. We ended our culinary journey with banana Nutella gyoza. Just wow. It was served warm and the Nutella with banana tasted amazing.

A good place for sushi and other Asian cuisine. Basho is located pretty close to Fenway. It makes a good stop before or after a game. Has quite a lot of variety and makes it easier for everyone to find something they like. The prices are kind of high but they're not worse than most of these neighborhood places. I think it's a nice place for a quiet evening if the music isn't loud. Sometimes it's played really loud and you can't hear a thing. There's other times it's quieter and you can actually talk amongst yourselves. Has a bar which is good for smaller groups. Sushi is the main thing. Lots of specialty rolls to choose from. There's typical ones and more exotic ones. I like the Sweet Potato Roll the best. It's $7.50 for a good sized one. This is made with a sweet soy based sauce. Good place for Asian cuisine. If there's only a few in a group the bar is a good place to sit. The tools include many vegetarian choices with the sweet potatoes being the best of these.

I read the yelp reviews before trying this place and still decided to go. What a MISTAKE. To start, the service was incredibly slow, even with there being virtually no tables to wait on. Next the food was awful. We ordered appetizers such as edamame, gyoza, and the pork buns. The edamame and gyoza were actually not half bad but the pork bun was a complete waste of money. Totally overcooked, it was like eating sand. I had the Katsu Don as my main course as well as the snow mountain roll. The Katsu Don had the same problem as the pork buns, OVERCOOKED. It was not good and a waste of money. Getting to the sushi it was the definition of the word mid. Not absolutely terrible but also not good. The roll had tempura in it which was also overcooked and was like eating rubber. Atmosphere 0/10 hardly any one else in the building. On top of it all it was very expensive for a really disappointing experience. Would not recommend.
