Nagomi Izakaya

This sushi spot is in the heart of Boston right on beacon as you are headed down to the Fenway / BU area.Been here for multiple occasions.Good for date night too :)We started off with agedashi tofu, karage chicken and uni oysters and takoyaki.Then we ordered o-toro sashimi (my go to) Ramen, konbachi chili (fire) has jalepenos on top of hamachi yummmm, torched toro maki (yesss) charashi maki and nagomi don subtitles with squid for salmon.For desert we had green tea ice cream and we actually got a second from our server because she overheard it was someone's birthday!Overall always good dining here, haven't tried their omakase but we know what we like there. Weeknight parking in the area is pretty easy, just keep your eyes peeled for street spots within a block or two.

Got the salmon donburi and the strawberry mojito, pretty good meal. The salmon was nice and fresh, there was plenty of rice underneath. Wasabi isn't super spicy, soy sauce was rich. The drink was the right level of sweet but not strong, but it tasted good! My friends passion fruit drink was a great combo of sour and bitter yuzu and was slightly stronger in taste!The interior was cozy but sleek and had lots of nice decor.Service was very friendly and attentive.Overall solid experience but a bit pricey for what you get.

Nagomi Izakaya is a cute sushi restaurant by Kenmore station/BU area serving high quality specialty sushi. I had been here a year or two ago and had a wonderful experience but haven't returned since it is a bit pricey. I went around late dinner time the other day and was one of the few tables there which was surprising. They have $12 sake cocktails which is a pretty good price even though it isn't made with liquor. The yuzu marg, lychee martini, and yuzu rose martini were perfect cocktails (although not super strong). They have the best karaage so we got an order of that, the crispy rice, the mango tuna roll, and a shrimp tempura roll. The crispy rice was good but I have had better. The mango roll was the best roll and it tasted so fresh! I would say their speciality maki are probably the best and best value for nagomi since some of the pricier items like the crispy rice aren't totally worth it. If you come get the karaage and some of their speciality maki!The prices are a bit on the steep side especially given the location (kind of hole in the wall area by Kenmore) but the quality is excellent and it's a nice and clean atmosphere inside.

No "Irasshaimase!" welcome here because it's not truly Japanese. Then again, I didn't get a "Ni hao" either. Not sure I would characterize this as Izakaya, more sushi bar. Still, the food was well done if small portioned. I enjoyed the "premium omekase" I ordered. Boston prices did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly. The sushi bar vibe was right.

Easy to make reservation on yelp just one day early for a party of four. Chill and ambient vibes and the servers were friendly.The martinis my friend and I ordered were very bad - they just tasted like fruit punch and a very strong sweet flavor without the taste of alcohol.Omakase set was pretty good and fresh. My only complaint would be how the rice was a little overpowering. The two rice bowls we share were decent as well. An okay place to go to if you just want an affordable omakase set. They also have makis and many other different options on the menu to try out.-6.8/10

I loved this place so much, I decided to come back again the next week! This time, I decided to try their omakase. It was delicious and it was different from other omakases I have tried. They served all of the sashimi in one boat rather than course after another course. Nonetheless, it was still good and worth it for the price, especially if you like raw fish. The foie gras was my favorite, as well as the otoro. The service here is amazing, every time. Definitely give Nagomi Izakaya a try if you're in the area and have not yet tried!

Excellent food!! Such high quality food for such an affordable price, truly a gem and a rarity nowadays. The service was excellent, I came in slightly after lunch on MLK, so it wasn't busy. The vibe of the place is casual during the day, but I'm sure as the sun sets, the ambiance is more intimate and warm. Nagomi don (10/10): so fresh. I didn't even know I liked raw squid until I had this bowl. They do not skimp on the high-quality seafood in this bowl. I loved this, every bite was beautifully savory, buttery, and memorable.Miso soup (10/10): it was freezing the day I went, and this was just what I needed to warm me up. Rich broth that was not sour like other miso soups I had, and the tofu was so soft. Simple but amazing when done right.Will definitely be coming back again to try their other dishes!

A hidden gem in the big city of Boston! Calm and intimate sushi place right off Kenmore Square. It was such a delight coming here!! The servers are sweet and attentive and everyone is super friendly here.Very beautiful presentation of some of the most tasteful cuts of sushi I've had. The wagyu beef scallop just melts in your mouth, with the small hint of the juicy uni (sea urchin) on top to make it perfect. The scallop on the Ocean maki was delicious, and their nigiri was eaten so fast I barely got a photo! Definitely a higher-end price menu, so it's definitely a special event type place for me, but your tastebuds will thank you for this place! Worth every dollar spent here, especially for Boston.

This place is really cute! For appetizers, we got the spicy edamame (which lives up to its name), takoyaki and grilled shishito peppers. The takoyaki was pretty good. We also got the eight-piece $30 omakase set, which is a pretty good value. The sushi was decent. You can make a reservation, which requires a $10 deposit per person, but we went on a Wednesday night and it wasn't very crowded, so we probably didn't need to.

Very nice, classy sushi restaurant. Excellent service. Ordered a bottle of Josh Cellars Cabernet and at $40, it was good value.
