This place has really good sushi. My favorites ate the Fantastic roll, the Tuna Sandwich, and the Yellow Dragon roll. I was really surprised, honestly, given that it's next to a Papa Gino's, but this place is definitely worth it. It has become our "go to" for sushi in the area. read more

I've been here three times, and the food has been consistently good. Excellent sushi, which we've gotten twice, and very prettily presented (we got the Edamame Love Platter). We've also gotten the bento box, which was great. Service is good, with friendly, attentive staff. Atmosphere in the non-hibachi area could be more comfortable; one wall is basically a frosted window, but that is not really a huge deal. I've never gotten hibachi here, but my husband has and says it's really good. Cocktails are good too! I hope they do well, considering they're tucked into a plaza with a Stop and Shop; they deserve to stay here for a good long time. read more

Their hibachi is decent, with the prices on the average to higher side. For the amount of food I got, it wasn't really that worth it. Their sushi is consistently fresh though! read more

I Went to Edamame with the Groupon offer. Had two special sushi rolls, one had mango, I forget what it was called, and the other was the Pink Lady. The mango special roll was excellent, the pink lady was not so good. In general the sushi was fresh and tasted good. The atmosphere wasn't great; it was empty on a monday night and the server was brusque. read more

This place is beyond terrifying. I'm pretty sure I was given rat meat instead of chicken. When I brought this up to the manager, he didn't seem too shocked and immediately offered to give me shrimp and steak instead. I completely lost my appetite and decided not to go back to this establishment. Eat with caution! Yikes! read more

Have ordered delivery from them several times. Pros: Hibachi isn't too bad Generous portions Good value Cons: Service depends on tips. If you don't include a tip (I tipped with cash on delivery), they will take forever to deliver and won't come go into an apartment building. read more

The hibachi here was terrific. I heartily recommend the Shogun Special (steak and scallops). The shrimp is also great, but you already get that as an appetizer. The chicken was not as great, but still pretty good. The lobster looked great - I'll have to try it next time. The meal starts with a nice miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. Don't wear your best clothes, because the hibachi chef is none for squirting sake in your mouth is you are so inclined! The hibachi chef put on a great show. Highly recommended. read more

Tried the new Japanese place in Watertown with a friend tonight. Service was very good and the sushi was very fresh. Got hot saki and the sushi/ sashimi bento box which was excellent. I would definitely go back. read more

It was amazing as always. I went here for my girlfriends and her sisters birthday. The food was fantastic we all got the hibachi and we mentioned to the hibachi Chef that it was their birthday and they remembered it and gave them a free birthday desert. read more

Wow! I can't speak for the Hibachi, but the sushi, sashimi, miso soup, salad, drinks, and service were all EXCELLENT !!! I will be back.

I came here for sushi one night with my girlfriend, the food was great, the hostess was really nice, but one thing really just ruined the entire experience. My girlfriend and I are generally very polite and friendly to waiters at the restaurants we go to, but the waitress that we had was just not on the same page. She rushed us on ordering while we were looking at the menu trying to decide what we wanted and gave us attitude at every possible opportunity for no reason. Later that night she spilled a cup of water onto our table, which isn't a big deal because it's only water, but she didn't apologize or say anything. If it wasn't for the hostess being really friendly I would have given a 2 star rating because of the service.d read more

My favorite place to enjoy sushi and hibachi. Kind of pricy if you miss the lunch menu but great quality food. The service is wonderful, my favorite bartender is Kevin. Highly recommend this place for a lunch stop or a night out with fun hibachi! read more

Been here several times and the sushi is always amazing!!!! Love this place. Busy place but never a long wait for a table. Would recommend!

I am a sushi/sashimi snob. This is the best of the best; I have never found salmon this tender and deliciously flavored. All of the sushi rolls are top notch as well. My menu favorites are the "salmon girl" and "tuna boy" but I will enjoy anything these guys make. The staff is always friendly and the rest of the menu is also delicious. Haven't stopped at the bar but I'm sure that would be a nice time too. read more

First time and won't be the last. Best hibachi I had in a while. Plus buy one get one free!! Yes please! Friendly staff and so much parking. Already planning on coming back. @edamamenewton read more

See all

We usually order to take out. The food is really good. Rated 4 stars because service is not really "restaurant level".

Great place. Nice decor. Good sushi. Friendly staff. The hibachi food was excellent plus the show put on by the chef was excellent. This place is a little hidden where the old blockbuster used to be but well worth the visit. I will be returning and I hope more find this place. read more

Ordered delivery. Miso soup was watery and bland. Sushi was blah. I don't understand how y'all rated this place so high. Venture off and try other sushi places. read more

Best. Sushi. Ever. I always find something to fault at a restaurant (usually many things) - terrible service, fishy taste (even one small bite turns me off), sub-par cocktails etc. Went there yesterday and the experience was flawless, e.g. atmosphere and decor(!), service, prices and the presentation of the food was beautiful. First was miso soup (the best I've ever had) and salad. The dressing was divine and I meant to ask if they sold it in bottles to go. We shared the Edamame Love Platter (tons of sushi, 2 rolls, sashimi). Every bite was delicious. I had the Headhunter cocktail and my dining partner could not stop stealing sips. All in, I think I paid $42, which included a generous tip and a to-go box with leftovers. The capacity looked large, which to me means hopefully getting a seat fairly easily on a Saturday night - yay!! I am in a state of shock that a place this amazing is around the corner in Watertown! I always say "Watertown is 20 minutes from everything but there's nothing here". Boy, how that has changed! I am tempted to tone down this review because it doesn't sound believable. All I can say is, check it out. Oh, and the hibachi scene looked incredible - people were laughing, huge flames... I am definitely checking that out next time. read more

Best sushi take-out around!! Fresh and so tasty. I will be doing many take out orders from them as they are right up the street from me! Yum! read more

Good food, good staff and their hibachi is one of the best ones around. Most importantly TONS OF PARKING

A group of us decided to get dinner from here one night. BEST DECISION EVER! We had gotten the Bento box as well as some of their special rolls and some apps. Everything was so fresh and soooo good. The only thing that we all kinda felt was a little lacking was the crispy calamari, it was ok but a little flat and didn't seem as described. Huge rolls and portions, we were awesomely surprised and will definitely eat there again! read more

When this restaurant first opened it was great. It wasn't long, however, before things went down hill. Several months ago, I stopped going here. Last week, I decided to give it another try. I was horribly disappointed. The grill was dirty with pieces of food left from the previous time it was used. The salad dressing was like water, and the service was horrible. I asked several times for no rice and extra vegetables. The waitress insisted I could just refuse the rice, but I wanted a bit more vegetable in place of the rice. She finally gave in and said okay, but she wrote the order up as hibachi with white rice and no extra veggies. The hibachi chef was entertaining, although I witnessed another grill where there was no interaction between the chef and customers. This restaurant seems to be cutting corners where they shouldn't. The portions are much smaller than they use to be and the quality is awful. I called a few other places in the area to make a reservation. There was a 45min.-1 hour wait everywhere...except Edamame. We were able to walk right in and be seated as there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. That should have been the clue to RUN! It cost over $80 for two adults and 1 child with only 1 cocktail. Edamame is way overpriced and the food is less than average. I will never return. read more

So this is totally my favorite restaurant for sushi. Not because of the service, but because of the sushi which is absolutely brilliant! No seriousely it not that expensive (normal price) but so delicious! The only negative experience I had was when I went there with my friends for dinner and we wanted to use groupon discount coupons. They said it's fine before we went to our table but never mentioned we can use only one coupon on one table so we ordered food without knowing that. Afterwards they told us that we can use only one.. the staff told us we should have ask that before etc so at the end we had to pay a lot more than we expected.. As we could have read it at groupon (policy) they were right but we were still disappointed.. But they told us we can use our second coupon another time so it's okay. It's still my fav place to go for sushi so 4 stars.. But the service is really not the best read more

Edamame - This was our farewell dinner - so yummy - Steakhouses Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

This place is fine. They close at 10pm i went there at 9am on the week night a couple of times... the cook was attended another large group and came to us 30 mins later. The worst part is they started cleaning up using chemicals like clorox right in front of us as we were eating immediately after the cook finished... i completely lost my appetite and the fumes made me nauseous. It was absolutely disgusting. The food at other hibachi tastes a lot better. read more

Great prices, great portions, amazing food, I've only gotten the hibachi here however everything I get off of the hibachi menu is delicious, steak, chicken, lobster, shrimp, amazing fried rice, attentive staff, cheap drinks, literally can't ask for more, visited often with friends and they all think the same, keep it up. read more

I am unhappy with the service, happy with the food. I had an expired Living Social and when I walked in I told him I had it. They told me the paid value of it would be accepted. I ate the meal which was very good. But then the server refused to take my Living Social. I explained her that the gentleman had already told me he would take it but she refused to. I would not go back because I did not feel they were very honorable business people. Is nothing more important to me than honest people. read more

The hibachi performance is really great! Chef does his job perfect! Food is pretty good and interior is nice. Definitely will recommend this place! read more

This restaurant is my favorite restaurant in Massachusetts. I love the steak,chicken,fried rice and shrimp. The waiters and waitresses were also very good read more

Oh my goodness, this place had the worst service I have ever experienced while paying a three-digit tab. First, a member of our party has a food allergy which truly annoyed the waitress who rolled her eyes and kind of stomped away to get the manager for help. Another waitress doled out chopsticks to one side of the table but forgot the rest and was truly annoyed to have to come back for the rest of us. No offers for second drinks. We had to get the host to get dessert menus. And the best part -- I could not believe my eyes -- they were mopping the floors around us while we were still eating. It was 9:30 and they weren't due to close until 10:00. The food was ok and the hibachi show was fun, but the service was just too awful to justify returning here. read more

Awful. We waited 30 minutes for drinks, and a little over an hour had passed before the chef came to prepare the hibachi. The miso soup was okay, but the salad was just iceberg lettuce drenched in sauce. Then the chef accidentally gave all the wrong people fried rice, and had to make more. This left half the table with free fried rice even though they ordered white, some with the fried rice they ordered, and some with white rice (half my party got friend rice for free, those who did not were not so pleased). Not very inviting, and the staff offered nothing while we sat and waited, not even an apology or an explanation. read more

I live super close so I was excited to try this place! Both experiences were very good, last time I went about a year ago, then this past weekend. I only gave 4 stars because of the service from everyone but the chef. We walked in around 9:30pm, which I didn't think was a big deal as they close at 11pm. We were the only one's in there, and the hostess seemed obviously annoyed that we were coming in and wanted to do hibachi. The waitress was even worse, never cracked a smile, came over as soon as we were seated and said "you know what you want?" ah nope we need a minute. She just walked away, without saying anything haha. I was on a date so we just laughed about it, but she was painful the whole time. The rest of the staff was cleaning around us, which was a little annoying. I can see cleaning at 10:30pm if no one is there but 9:30pm? Well luckily the hibachi chef was AMAZING and the food was just as good as I remember it. We had a blast with him, he said it was his first night there, but you'd never know it. So he definitely saved the day, if it wasn't from him I would have never gone back, I cannot tolerate bad service when you are paying for it. PLEASE hire kinder waitresses/hostesses because this could be a regular spot for me and my roommate :) read more

I am unsatisfied with the quality of the food. The steak was little to dry and they promoted buy one get one free at the door and when u sit down and order they deny it and apologize. Then don't say it then... give more quantity and quality peoples! read more

Walked in with two people in the restaurant. Was handed dirty menus and was forced to sit next to the two people in the restaurant after trying to move. Needless to say I was not impressed. read more

My boyfriend and I went last night and had a great time. We were the only ones at the table so we thought we wouldn't get a great show but it was awesome. Kevin Kevin is the BEST! We had a great laugh the whole time! Sake! I recommend Kevin if you can get him! read more

My review is for the hibachi as I haven't tried their sushi. I've tried lots and I've found it's hard to find a really good hibachi place around here these days. The food isn't very flavorful, there doesn't seem to be much use of garlic and other things you usually see. Everything was kind of bland. I was bummed out cause I work nearby. They have a 2 for the price of 1 during the week, forget what days. This may be worth you $$ but full price isn't. read more

I ordered for delivery. The food was good (Bento box) but the delivery driver was terrible! He kept saying I needed to go outside to meet him, claiming that is the norm for deliveries. I asked him to ring the door so I could let him in my apartment building and he just kept saying there was no where to park. We live in a building with a huge parking lot and it is never an issue, he just didn't want to come up. Very annoying! read more

Sushi was excellent. Not too much rice (which to me is a sign of a quality place). Hibachi tables in the back, but not obnoxiously loud, instead contributed to a fun and inviting atmosphere. I am not one for hibachi, but it was clearly a little girl's birthday (with her parents) and the chef went out of his way to be sure she had fun and was totally age appropriate. I sat at the bar and had the crunchy spicy tuna roll, shrimp and avocado roll, and volcano roll (light sauce). All excellent and not too filling as they were mostly fish. Would definitely recommend!! read more

This review is based on the Hibachi. We have been to a few other Hibachi restuarants around Boston as my kids love the fun chef's have in preparing the meal. We were so disappointed in our chef at Edamame. He just could not be bothered. He did not try to engage at all. Added to the disappointment the food was not all that great. We have certainly enjoyed the food better in other Hibachi restuarants so don't think we will be returning to Edamame. read more

I love this place! The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious! I have not yet done the hibachi but they have really great sushi.
