Surprisingly good time. The history: Had stopped into local bar where I couldn't get a table or a beer. Walked out in the snow just up the street to Fins. Had never been there but I went in and the place was half empty. There were Uber Eats people at front desk waiting. A young man, clearly overwhelmed asked if I wanted a table. I said ok. Waiting for two friends. I had a soft drink. They were very short staffed. The young man had a good attitude and was reason I stayed. Once my friends got there we quickly put in a sushi order. We were in a rush to go to sporting event. It was still hectic but we had a couple drinks and relaxed a little when food came out. Honestly we were happy. It was good, clean, very fresh and frankly a surprise. I will go back again. I would recommend this place if you're up around chestnut hill. Good quality food, nice drinks, efficient staff. We had a good time. read more

Ordered take out from here she got the sushi and sashimi combo. It was fresh and a great portion, will definitely eat again. The sashimi especially was delicious! Tofu agedashi had a less than flavorful sauce but other than that it was good. read more

Fin's Sushi and Grill - Sushi and Sushi & Sashimi Combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Let me preface this review with... I don't care for sushi. I always keep trying it though... tonight my mind was blown tonight. Fire Maki, shrimp tempura and cucumber covered with spicy tuna on top eel sauce and spicy mayo. Also great deal on the edamame. Buy one get one free. After 10 years together , I can now order sushi with my spouse!!!! read more

First 2 times ordering out was good, but the 3rd time was a disaster making me very sick. Have been eating sushi all over the world including Japan, but this has never happened to me. The sushi and sashimi combo was very good except for 1 piece that made me violently ill for 24 hours. Did not taste right, but was too late. Never again with this place for me. read more

I've always walked by Fin's in Cleveland Circle and after 5 years I decided to try it out. I think that the quality of fish is the same as the Yamatos nearby or any regular AYCE sushi place, so it wasn't the best but also not the worst. I think that it was pricey for what it was but if you are just hungry and want sushi fast, then I would just say get it! I was more surprised than anything because the quality wasn't as bad as I was expecting it, and they give you a cool tin for your sauces which was really cute! I also couldn't finish this by myself and it was $40 so I had leftovers the next day (the cuts were pretty thick). Considering that I picked it up, the prep was really fast and the place inside did look roomy inside with a lot of seats! read more

Don't let the somewhat hole in the wall location fool you, this place has excellent food and wonderful service!

I've been testing the menu here lately and I have yet to be let down. My top favorite so far is the Crispy Duck Breast (but have an appetite!). Their sushi phenomenal too, and my family loved their Chicken Katsu and Teriyaki. Overall a great place, give it a go. read more

A nice local take out sushi shop around Cleveland circle! I've tried a couple of things here and I would say my top two favs are their seafood roll and poke bowls. I like how you can do salad for their poke bowl and they use a good wasabi dressing and put lots of sashimi cubed pieces and fruit. Such a refreshing meal! Service is quick. read more

The sushi here is edible. I got a three-roll lunch deal for takeout, and there was zero flavor. The tuna and yellowtail could have been any fish, and the salmon gave its best effort. All I tasted was old defrosted fish that had never seen a cure. Same thing with the rice - if there was mirin and vinegar, I did not taste it. The rice was on the slightly mushier side too. If you like your sushi rolls doused in mayo and eel sauce you'd probably be fine though. read more

The best sushi in the area. We have to drive 20 minutes to get it, but well worth it. Yum!

I ordered food from fins it came quickly and was well packaged I got the scallion pancake that was tasty and crispy and soft in the middle good. The snow mountain marki which is with sno grab was good. and the seafood tempore had a good a amount of seafood and was good read more

I ordered sushi and sashimi combo. The fish was not super fresh, but tasted ok. The rice part was bad. The rices tasted like leftover from a few days ago (more than 2 days). It's also my first time to eat sushi with a spoon so I don't have to use chopsticks to pick up rices piece by piece after sushi fall apart. read more

I ordered takeout because I wanted to try a new Japanese restaurant. I ordered the fresh spring rolls and the salmon and soybean pods fried rice. My problem with the rice is that there was barely any salmon in it and I also hated that there was lettuce in it as I do not eat lettuce. This dish is quite starchy, heavy, dry, and lacks flavor...it wasn't enjoyable in the slightest. However, I did enjoy the fresh spring rolls. I would cautiously give Fin's another chance. read more

Quality sushi at a great price. I've been eating here for nearly a decade and they never miss a beat.

The definition of mid. The price isn't great. The good isn't amazing. But it's not bad by any stretch. Good service. Ok food. Does the job of take-out sushi. read more

Unfortunately the one thing I had here wasn't great: a scorpion roll, with some shrimp on top that wasn't super tasty, a bit dry, and accompanying ingredients that weren't particularly tasty either. Portion size also somewhat underwhelming for price. read more

I always order fro Fin's when i want cheap sushi. I would always get from the cooked section and get two rolls or one roll and a salad for less than $14. I always do take out but I dined in for the first time recently. Got there on Friday evening around 7pm literally just in time before it got packed with more people. The ambience is nice and even though it was packed we got really good service. I ordered an avocado salad and a snow mountain maki both were good. My friend got the Maxi Deluxe which she enjoyed too except she's not a fan of sweet things in her sushi but "if people like that then I'd recommend it" Personal favourites to get: Avocado Crab Salad (Soups & Salads) Spicy Seafood Maki (Cooked Rolls) Rock N Roll Maki (Cooked Rolls) Grilled Salmon Roll (Cooked Rolls) Snow Mountain Maki (Signature) read more

My go-to sushi place in the Boston area. Really have not found anything that beats this place in terms of flavor, preparation, and quality of ingredients. Prices are a little high but worth it in my opinion. My favorite items are the Salmon Avocado Roll (melt in your mouth and actually has flavor!), the Fashion Roll (somehow eel and cream cheese works really well together), the Spicy Tuna, and the Crazy Maki. My fiancé all really likes the Kara Age, but his only complaint is that there are no Crab Rangoons, as those are his favorite! Maybe they will offer them in the future. Anyways, highly recommend this place. read more

Not a bad place to get sushi. I think it's a little pricey, but they have a good lunch special that's worth the money. I would recommend if you're in the area and want sushi. The atmosphere is also not bad. The place is clean the servers are nice. Would recommend for date nights haha. I remember the music selection being good, and it's quiet enough where you can still have conversation with others, without being drowned out. read more

I haven't physically eaten at the actual location, but this place has been a staple in my delivery rotation. I'm not sure if I've just been lucky, but all my orders from Fin's have been delivered SUPER fast. The food always arrives fresh and is delicious (you can tell by my lack of pictures that I scarf everything down too fast to snap a photo). It's hilarious to me that I can order and have the food delivered faster than I could make something at home. I think the prices are very reasonable and they have a variety of food options. If you want sushi, they certainly have you covered, but if you're craving something else, they have soups, noodles, rice dishes, etc. as well. If you're looking for suggestions my favorite items are the: veggie noodles in soup (perfect on a gloomy or chilly day), Idaho maki (great sushi option, especially for vegetarians), and the crazy roll. read more

So we ordered the uncooked Maki. Tuna roll, Alaskan Maki and Boston Roll. Very friendly service and the food was ready almost immediately. Probably because it wasn't made fresh. The three sushi chefs in front of us did not prepare it, it came from the kitchen behind where a man brought it pre-packaged in a box. The presentation is poor, the rolls are small, and the quality is mediocre. Once we ate it, it was evident that it had indeed been prepared previously and was served stone cold. In comparing this to JP seafood café, which we had last week, this is much inferior and costs more. I think a prepared box of Sushi from Wegmans or Whole Foods Is the best comparison. We will definitely not return. read more

i was going through my old reviews and came across this one. that's not who i want to be. i was so unnecessarily negative back then... fin's deserves a more positive, accurate review. eel & salmon are my 2 favorites to go in any dish, they're the yummiest! i enjoyed these at fin's: caterpillar maki, house dragon maki, & alaskan maki. i ordered the salmon teriyaki bento at least once, which i liked, but personally would've liked more teriyaki (that might be a me problem tho, cuz i just really like teriyaki.) i remember the tempura udon being a frequent order when i craved noodles. lastly, good location - bc shuttle stops nearby, walking distance from green line, could also walk from bc if you wanted. easy to find even if it's your first time in the area. tl;dr: please ignore my original review, i was projecting my issues everywhere even yelp reviews lol. i enjoyed the eel, salmon, & udon at fin's. the location is also convenient and easy to find. read more

Currently no dining in. But I ordered seaweed salad, miso soup, and summer non fried rolls. $16. All good. If you want the miso hot, tell them. read more

Loved the sushi! Service was good, the place is a little smaller, but the food was delivered quickly. I enjoyed Shrimp Tempura and Spicy Tuna Rolls and a cold beer. Reasonably priced and easy to walk to from the hotel. I recommend this place and will be back. read more

Good place to sate your sushi fix. No fuss if you know what you want. There's also the whiteboard for the deal of the day. My recommendations: the salmon combo works great every time; agedashi tofu is also a regular on my order,... and sake. 'Nuff said. PS If you are a vegetarian, there are options, too (just ask) read more

I really enjoy the salmon and sweet potato maki from Fin's. I wish the salad had a more traditional, ginger-y dressing but it was still ok. The tuna is not that great for the price so I opt for the salmon which is quite delicious. Their miso soup is also good. Cute atmosphere as well. I recommend. read more

This was the worst Sushi experience my wife and I had in this was the worst sushi experience my wife and I had in the Boston area from the Forgotten drinks Bland the offerings and flavorless appetizers it was likely the worst hundred dollar dinner at a sushi restaurant we've had in 10 years, the cuts of sushi we're barely sushi-grade if they were sushi grade at all but considering all the experience I've had at sushi restaurants you can certainly tell the difference, since I dine out frequently I have higher expectations for sushi than I do any other meal the reason why you are paying extra is the quality of the meals content and when that disappoints it certainly leaves a lasting impression. As usual when I post a less-than-average review of a restaurant I give the restaurant the opportunity to change my review and I will visit them again in a month or two to see if anything's changed however paying for a bad hundred dollar meal twice is something I don't look forward to doing the restaurant was clean however the staff was inattentive and preoccupied with their cell phones. read more

My absolute FAVORITE sushi place. Was my go-to for 5 years living in Boston, conveniently living by this location. My favorite dishes were: 1. Salmon combo (doesn't get any better than this with 1 spicy salmon roll, 1 salmon roll, and 1 salmon hand roll + miso soup) 2. Chicken Katsu Curry Lunch Special (an even better deal for a lot of food) 3. Shrimp Tempura Roll (would get this + 1 spicy salmon roll = good deal) I would highly recommend as a go-to sushi spot whether it's dining in or eating it at home. read more

Some of the best sushi take-out in Boston. It's fairly dependable and consistent, but if you are looking for sushi that blows your mind, consider one of the smaller sushi places in Chinatown. read more

I've ordered from this place on multiple occasions and usually my experience has been good. But today I just ordered from them and was heavily disappointed. here is what I ordered: Miso Soup - Just bland. Almost tasted like it was watered down. just absolutely no flavor, very disappointing. Avocado Salad - Is supposed to contains: avocado, crab meat, cucumbers, mayo... unfortunately I found myself searching for the crab meat. The avocado seemed old since the color was already brownish. And waaaaay too much cucumber. They might as well change the name to cucumber salad. very disappointing. Gyoza (beef) - Probably the best part, but still not great. The bottom of the container was just soooo greasy. You could feel yourself becoming unhealthy. The one thing they got right with the order was the coca-cola. Not sure if management or head chef has changed since the last time I ordered here.. but the quality definitely has - Super disappointed. read more

I had the Unagi & Rice Bento Box for under $10. The meal started wrong and ended wrong. First of all, this is a Chinese-run Japanese restaurant. The restaurant was less than 25% full at 1 PM on a weekday during lunchtime. The miso soup was typical, but there was a mild trace of chlorine or dishwashing soap on the soup spoon. That is unacceptable. The Unagi Bento had white rice, a couple cold Gyoza dumplings, grapes, a melon slice, salad, and a few pieces of California roll. Not a bad deal for less than $10 until I was starting to eat the rice and picked up another trace of the chlorine/dishwashing soap flavor. EWWWWWW!!!! After that, I left. Never coming back. read more

I love this place! The prices are very reasonable for quality sushi. Especially for a poor college student like myself, it doesn't break the bank. I use to live super close to here so I would always order take out at least once or twice ( sometimes 3x a week). I'm sorry I have a sushi addiction. My favorites are salmon combo ( salmon handroll, spicy salmon, and regular salmon maki) and they also have it for tuna, for all you tuna lovers! I also get their avocado salad ( avo, crabmeat, cucumber). I ALWAYS order the salad to include spicy mayo and tobiko ( extra charge). TRUST ME- its good! It's a little sad that they don't include the tobiko already in it- I've seen other establishments do this and when I asked them about it, they told me that some people aren't comfortable with fish eggs in there. Those fish egg haters can order it without! The atmosphere is really nice for a date night or a family outing. Make sure to do reservations, they are really busy on Fridays and the weekends. The tables can be super close where u can hear the conversation next to you but that's just a small complaint. The employees and management are awesome. read more

I have got to say, I am yet to be disappointed by a sushi place in Boston. And Fin is a really great place for when you're craving sushi (umm, like everyday!) The Crazy Maki and Fire Maki are wonderful, I don't think I can "unrecommend" anything on their menu. The service is fast and friendly. If you're in the neighborhood, It's your best bet for sure. read more

Fin's has pretty good sushi, but quite honestly, I don't think it's four star material. It's good, but it's not all that special. If Fin's closed down tomorrow, I would still be able to get the same quality of sushi at another place. Location does kind of make up for it as there are tons of pizza places in Cleveland Circle and no sushi places, but then again, there are plenty other places with better quality sushi on the C line. I must say, I think that you should definitely try their white tuna tataki. They also have this red tobiko that tastes amazing. I've asked to get it sashimi style and I just get a dish of caviar. It's amazing. It's sweeter than the regular orange that they put on sushi. I don't recommend their spicy scallop maki though. Instead of having chopped scallop in a spicy sauce that's rolled up, they just piled scallops on the top and I wasn't too excited about that. Anyways, Fin's is great if you're in the area, but I don't really think it's anything special to go out of your way for. There are plenty of sushi places that are way better in Coolidge Corner. read more

Alert! Does not comply with COVID regulations!! We've been regulars here since we moved to Brighton last Fall. Always enjoyed the sushi, even through quarantine. Very disappointed in tonight's experience. We called around 8:45pm to ask if it was too late to order to go, they said no - kitchen closes at 9pm but it's OK as long as we order before then. We ordered online right away. Got to the store around 9:02pm. Our meal was still being prepared. I waited outside, to minimize contact, when I noticed one of the chefs behind the sushi bar working without a mask on. (There were two chefs, definitely working within 6ft, but the real issue for me was the non-mask wearer. The other was wearing a mask.) I went inside and asked the waitress if the chef without the mask prepared any of our food. (Meanwhile, he is still working, handling food, not wearing his mask). He sees me... (meanwhile an Uber driver also comes in to pick up an order. If this was your uber order- please be cautious!). She asked the chef if he prepared our meal, and came back and said yes. I asked them if this is normal... I got no real reply, and they didn't seem to care or address that this was a problem. I told them I am a regular here and that I was bothered by this. It's possible the waitress was uncomfortable about the situation, and didn't know what to say. I said I wanted a refund, and they gave me a refund. I feel for the workers who are uncomfortable with masks on all day, I do. But this is the food industry. This is not safe! If you need a break from your mask, move away from the food and take a break (ideally outside... ) If you care about who's preparing your food, I recommend you look elsewhere. What a shame. Really sad to see this happen tonight. read more

I'm definitely a Cali girl who misses L.A.'s japanese food. - Miso soup, $1.50??? SERIOUSLY ?? (or was it $1.25.. like it matters) - Rolls are okay. nothing spectacular, & i think the sashimi proportion could use work - Salmon Fried Rice was pretty darn good & a wonderfully generous portion. - Service is good. - Sushi Bar seating is interesting as you get to watch the chefs make the sushi. - Quality of sashimi here is whatevs. - Delivery service is solid enough - Restaurant itself is nice, nothing fancy. read more
