    The food was fantastic! The steamed Shumai and the spicy tuna Crispy Rice are a must. They were so good we ordered a second one of both. The service was great and the staff very friendly. Will definitely go again when in Boston

    I have had amazing sushi and sashimi there which did no disappoint. This time tried the spicy seafood ramen which was awesome! The service - Adan! - was pure perfection! He was friendly, offered great advice, took a photo of us with such care, brought us a happy anniversary dessert, but mostly just cared so much about every little detail and was warm and friendly and a total pro! Go Adan! Hope we get you next time too!!

    We had the chef’s choice Nigiri. There were a lot of pieces, all delicious. Also had the gyoza, which are the best anywhere, very tender wrappers with great filling. Very nice people, too.
