Good quick option for lunch. Centrally located so easy to walk over during the break for a conference. I was able to order in advance for pickup which also makes things easier. There are several seats and tables and the dine-in area looked nice. I got teriyaki tofu bento for lunch due to its ease of transport and eating in a quiet lecture hall and it worked on both counts. Ate too quickly and forgot a photo (a good sign), but it came with a bowl of miso soup (sealed well in reusable plastic container) rice side, 3 piece veggie sushi, a fried dough, dumpling, and about half block of marinated tofu, and a salad. Overall a good amount of food for ~$15. Flavor reasonable enough for all items, it is a veggie bento though so keep that in mind. Only confusing thing was hours were different in my online order vs. other listings, but as of now it does open at 11:30am weekdays. However, quite good. The lady at the front was very helpful and kind, got me a receipt for business purposes and had the food all ready to go. It looks like they received a Boston food award for Japanese cuisine too, so if you are a Collector of Food from Restaurants with Awards, then this should work for you.

We stopped in to grab some food after studying at the public library all day. This place is on Newbury street, a great location for business as there are always lots of hungry shoppers in that area. On this day, the restaurant wasn't busy at all and we were seated immediately. We sat in the window area which was very small but cute. Apps: We ordered the boneless fried chicken and edamame. While these were both okay in taste, the portion sizes were pretty small. When we order edamame at restaurants, we usually get a decently sized bowl overflowing with it. Here, we got a small plate with like 30 pieces. I Don't feel like the price reflects the amount you get. The chicken portion was also very small for the price. Entree: we ordered a Newbury maki which was delicious! The salmon on top was wonderful with the contents of the sushi.TL;DR: the food was good, but the portion sizes are rather small. There are many other Japanese restaurants in the area that serve larger portions for the same price range.

What a great little find in Back Bay. Little hole in the wall, maybe 50 tops. Cane here for lunch with "her" got sat by the bay window and pretty view of Newbury street below. I had the salmon bento box she had a salad. Super prompt service. Great fresh food and this day and age the price was reasonable. Definitely coming back when visiting Boston.

Came here after shopping at the prudential center! We ordered four rolls and two miso soups for two people and it was more than enough. Each roll is about $16. The restaurant is pretty small but lots of seating. The rolls were delicious and our favorite was the baked Alaskan roll! The sauce on top was delicious. We usually don't even like baked rolls.

Clean restaurant with friendly service but the food was mediocre at best. They nuked my miso soup and it came out lukewarm. The chirashi don was just mediocre, the tuna was chewy but didn't have any sinew in it which was very strange. Definitely not something I would recommend, I was expecting much better because of the location but I was definitely mislead.

this is my go to spot in newbury st! i have been here multiples times and enjoyed everything i've tried. i would recommend getting a bento box since it comes w/ a lot of different items--my favorite is the boneless fried chicken bento box. the maki and sushi are also sooo yummy! i have taken a lot people here and they all have enjoyed it. the service is great, the price is affordable, and the food is delicious. i would highly highly recommend going here if you're in the area!

The nigiri was good but by no means spectacular. Service was fast and good. The volcano roll was very good. I'm not usually a fan of specialty rolls but found the volcano roll delicious. The avocado seafood salad was delicious but was light on actual seafood. Overall not a bad spot in the area.

Good food. Located on Newbury at. Not much parking but easy to find. We ordered online and walked to Newbury st to pickup the food. We ordered shrimp tempura maki, pork gyoza, and chicken nuggets. Chicken was solid to almost really good. Gyoza was mid and shrimp tempura was ok. Would I go back. Probably not. It was ok though.

Unfortunately the quality has declined over time. I stopped in to do takeaway for lunch... spicy scallop handroll and salmon sashimi. The handroll was ok but every piece of salmon sashimi had bones in it. I hope this was just a one time oversight issue but will likely not return.
