LoLa 42

When a local foodie, who I really respect, tells you that LoLa 42 serves Boston's best sushi, you follow up. Can't say if it's the best, but it made for a most satisfying lunch on a Saturday.Our server who was also the bartender, mixes up some very creative craft cocktails.For starters, time for sushi. The Hola Sake and Snowy Mountainn rolls were delish.Since I was on a sushi mission, I ordered the Sushi Bistro Box. With its small containers for different entrees, it packs lots of flavors and textures. This and the Bistro Bemto allow you to sample many items on the menu.As I shared before, they serve great cocktails, but at $20 a piece, that adds up, even at lunch. Our lunch for three before tip was $276.

I had a reservation at Lola 42 on a Friday night during graduation season, we walked through the curtains in the front to an expansive dining room with a great view of the water. Our party of 2 was seated at the sushi bar and after several minutes we noticed an off-putting odor, similar to that of a public restroom. It wasn't bad enough to ask for a change of seating but it did hinder our experience slightly. Our waiter introduced herself and took our drink order, I settled on a refreshing craft beer from Japan that was light and crisp. There was a wide variety of pan-asian dishes, elevated American classics and sushi options but we decided on sharing a few appetizers and sushi rolls. The first things that appeared was the toro tartare, which was served in a sesame cannoli shell and it was a great bite. Next came the poke nachos, which was four large wonton chips that was topped with tuna, avocado crema, eel sauce and greens. Both appetizers were tasty but we felt that the value wasn't there for either. Lastly we ordered two of their speciality rolls, which was good but unremarkable compared to other sushi restaurants in Boston.

One of my favorite spaces in seaport for sushi and cocktails! Highly suggest!I also suggest sitting outside as the view of seaport is awesome

Food was FABULOUS 10/10, service was great form the moment we sat down we felt cared for and welcomed. Ambiance was awesome with loud fun music in the evening and lots of interesting art work on the walls (PG13 if you catch my drift). The menu was personalized for our engagement which was super fun!! Started out with truffle fries, you can't go wrong!! Crab Rangoon was DELICIOUS, perfectly hot and filled with delicious bites of crab. The sushi was amazing, my favorite was the eel roll- if you like eel DEFINITELY get this one. The tabiko with quail egg was also fun! Miso soup came with a lot of tofu which I liked!! Fried rice was INCREDIBLE- surprisingly a generous amount of crab and shrimp!! I liked our view as well- next to the windows and a nice view of the harbor. Would definitely come back! Sort of reminds me of Toca Modera with the loud music and the fun vibe!

Parking: street and lotDecor: very clean and crispStaff: very friendly and on pointFood: one work...AMAZING Overall: will 100% be going back

This spot is such a vibe! Right near the water and tons of other places, this was the perfect spot for dinner.We had originally made reservations for 9 pm because that's all they had. But, they called us the day of the reservation and said they had some openings so we moved up the reservation. I loved this! Made us think that they cared about us and our reservation.We sat at a high top in the bar area, which was right up my alley. The music was on point, lights were dimmed, trendy restaurant and menu looked delicious right off the bat. I started with a margarita and my friend got the hibiscus blueberry margarita. Both were very strong. They came out fast, so props to the waitress and bartender on this.For dinner, I got the rainbow roll. It was pricey, but it was very good. Also, service came out very fast. It tasted very fresh, which I always appreciate. I wish the rolls was a little bigger, but again, it was good so of course I ate it all.Totally a spot you need to check out!

Clown sushi restaurant -looks and feels moreLike an Italian !The food was decent Service was pretty good for a 10-top But when you're spending bull market prices for off-brand decor and janky atmosphere you have to do betterCase in point : sake served in wine glasses

Lola 42 in Boston Seaport is undeniably a local gem that has become my go-to spot for the perfect hangout/dining experience. This is one of the premier spots for a weekend date night. But, you really can't go wrong with stopping by here any time of day. The vibrant atmosphere and chic decor create the perfect setting for any occasion.The bar, has an extensive selection of cocktails and attentive bartenders, which adds a lively energy to the place. The staff at Lola 42 are not just service providers; they elevate the entire dining experience with their warmth and professionalism.Now, let's talk about the mac and cheese--it's phenomenal. Cheesy, nutty, buttery, indulgent, and loaded with flavor, the pasta has the perfect consistency with a crispy breadcrumb like topping. It's a must-try that keeps me coming back for more.Lola 42 serves a wide array of Asian fusion food options, and everything on the menu is pretty darn good. Love this spot!

Lola 42 was outright amazing. We had a wonderful server I think his name was Sebastian who made our dinning experience wonderful. We had a little bit of everything. All the food is extremely fresh and has a wonderful twist. The otoro had to of been cut fresh that day it was buttery and tasted so well. The chicken lettuce wraps were my favorite a garlicky sweet soy sauce with the juicy not dry chicken and fresh peppers made it an amazingly refreshing taste. Sushi is top notch but don't sleep on the entrees! Ribs were absolutely delicious the hoisin sauce was a great touch but would have liked to see the ribs a little bit more tender.

Very over priced, and left feeling cheated. Food quality good but not superior, and small portions. Service attentive but not special. Very good location. Never a good customer experience leaving thinking you've been taken. 6 people, limited alcohol and an $800 check. My local sushi restaurant is far superior. Beware.
