    Mentaiko (broth not pictured)
    Katie C.

    This was my first time trying mentaiko udon, so I can't speak to its authenticity, but I can say it was absolutely delicious! The dish had incredible depth of flavor, and I was impressed by the generous portions of both noodles and crab meat. I ordered through DoorDash, so I can only imagine how much better it would be fresh in the restaurant. I'd definitely order it again!

    Kacee T.

    Wow! The perfect chewy noodles house made was coated in the creamy rich sauce that was super well balanced. Every bite was making me want more - some would have bits of crab, others the uni and sometime both! I had such a culinary experience enjoying every spoonful! Come early or be prepared to wait (especially if you're a large party)

    Service and ambiance: eating solo, sat me at the bar, and the food arrived pretty quick. No issues there. Spicy Dan Dan Udon was delicious! Great udon noodles, broth was very flavorful.

    Cheese Niku Curry

    This experience blew my mind. It reminded me of the cute ramen spot near my own college campus, just as this one is right by BU. I bet it's a comfort meal for many students. Given that it's a campus spot, it's not that big but not too small either. We were able to be seated despite it being kind of busy. It feels so amazing to enjoy warm noodles as fall becomes winter, especially as a Southerner visiting New England! We shared the agedashi tofu and takoyaki for appetizers. I ordered the cheese curry udon for my main. I also got to taste some of their famous uni cream udon. The flavors of both starters were incredible & I was happy to get more than one piece of each. While the cheese curry was still good, I wish it had more cheesy texture. I should have ordered the uni cream udon because it was unbelievable, but that's okay I'll save it for my next trip...

    Udon noodles with duck

    This small family-run restaurant near BU housing specializes in homemade udon (good sign that half of the restaurant's diners were returning customers). Started with the shumai dumplings stuffed with shrimp, and then the kamo nanban udon (duck slices on top). Both were very good (vegetarian options also available). The udon entree portion was large enough for me to take some home. Staff worked quickly and efficiently, so that those waiting could get a table (there can be a wait at lunch time). This was a nice, reasonable priced find near BU and near Green Line T stops.

    Futago has a great variety of flavorful bowls of udon that are all fantastic for a cold day! Food: Every udon I've tried has been a blast of flavor. The broth clings perfectly to the udon noodles making the bouncy noodles the star. The creamy uni bowl was my favorite flavor so far but it's almost too rich to finish in one sitting. Service: The wait staff is very friendly and work hard to seat you in a reasonable wait time. Atmosphere: The paints on the wall and the wooden furniture makes for a cozy space, but since the seating space is maxed out it can get a little noisy.

    Uni Cream Udon
    Anna N.

    Delicious!! The food was savory and satisfying, but didn't leave me feeling disgusting or too heavy. The items I tried were flavorful. I got the Uni Cream Udon, but without the uni. They ran out of uni, but they said they could substitute it with Snow Crab instead. The restaurant was bright with natural light and clean. All the items were well crafted and aesthetically pleasing. Service was standard and good. The waitress talked a bit fast, but was thorough.

    Good food. Good vibes. Friendly staff. Tucked away in a corner of the Fenway area is this nice spot for yummy noodz. Personally loved the uni cream, as it felt pretty refreshing while still maintaining its smooth texture going down - definitely would suggest if you're into seafood, along with their fried oysters! Plenty of street parking, if you know where to find it. Otherwise, it's just a short walk from the green line. Would definitely recommend.

    Futago has been on my list and it did not disappoint! I am still DREAMING of my creamy uni udon from futago. It was a little pricy, however, i think very worth it. It was so fresh, creamy, and unlike anything I had before. The noodles were bouncy and long, and there was more than enough food (i could barely finish my portion. We came on a weekday for lunch and were sat immediately, but there was still quite a few customers. Service was very attentive (I do not think our water ever went down more than a few sips) and super fast with our bowls coming out almost immediately. The inside ambiance if very casual and cute. I will certainly be coming back to try more!

    always enjoy coming here when i'm in the mood for warm soupy udon. the place is on the smaller side and the service is fast as they try to turn the tables for new customers. the food has always been fresh and well balanced.

    Truffle beef udon
    Brian W.

    Came here around 7:30pm on a Saturday night and there was quite the wait. There were 4 groups ahead of us and the waiting area in the restaurant was really tiny, so people were huddled on the sidewalk and some people even waited in their cars because it was so cold out. Definitely get here a bit earlier if you want to be seated quickly since there aren't a ton of seats, but their system was quite good to get people served quickly. While we were waiting, we were asked what our order would be so when we did get seated, we had our food in a matter of minutes. Truffle beef udon ($21) - I had a taste of my partner's dish and the truffle taste was very prominent, so if you like truffle this could be the dish for you. The beef was nice and soft, and the rich broth was very hearty and filling. Uni cream udon ($25) - This was my order and it was SO GOOD. The cream broth was actually a lot more watery than I thought it would be, but it ended up being quite good because it wasn't as heavy. I drank the entire broth by the end of the meal - it had a nice milky cream taste to it without being too heavy on the cream or butter. The plump udon paired really nicely with the cream sauce, and the toppings really made this special. The fish eggs were popping and salty, the crab was actual crab meat (not imitation!) and really sweet, and the uni was creamy and delicious without being very fishy at all. I'd say I would order this next time, but I really want to try the cold uni udon as well, but this was a winner - would definitely order again on a repeat trip after trying some of the other flavors. The service was also very good - they were very attentive to water and very up front about the seating situation and the time estimates for those waiting. A wonderful experience!

    Daniel S.

    The udon here was exceptional. I really enjoyed it so much, it had such great flavor and fresh ingredients. Service here was great too, they are very busy even still they handle it quite well. We were sat pretty quickly considering how busy, and our orders taken promptly. Really good feel here, very clean and thought out setup.

    When will they bring back the Miso Carbonara?

    Went there recently and it's still not on the menu. They've probably taken it down for the time being and I haven't heard anything yet about them bringing this dish back.

    I have never experieced a Japanese restaurant or steak house. Any suggestions?

    This place is mostly noodle soups, I would recommend just going for the signature dishes as that would be a safe bet. We tried two of them (sukiyaki and beef truffle), both were delicious.

    Any suggestions of the best dish I should try?

    The duck udon was so smokey good! Miso carbonara was tasty as well and not as heavy as it looks.

    First time here and it was great! We did the AYCE all-you-can-eat on a Monday (they only do it…read moreMonday and Tuesdays) - got there around 7:30p and even though it was very full, we got seated quickly with a table for 3. It's $50 for the regular AYCE or $80 for the Premium AYCE. We opted for the former, and it was plenty great. We have done lots of AYCE sushi and I will say this is the BEST of them - I think it's because it's the same grade sushi as they would normally do Ala carte on other nights. The $50 menu had plenty of sashimi and regular nigiri (sushi with rice) options and some Thai too. We had mostly the sashimi Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Octopus, a few rolls, some edamame, gyoza, shumai. My favorites were the salmon, as the cuts were large, thick and amazing silky, and the gyoza, as it was perfectly crispy. The Pad Thai was bit way too sweet for my taste - a skip for me next time. The decor is very nice - reminded me of a dive Tokyo bar. Service was quick and very attentive. We will be back!

    Have been hearing about their Mon & Tue AYCE, so went on to try it a month or so ago. With what…read moreseems to be a recent price increase, now $50++ allows access to a good variety of sushi/sashimi, on top of apps, ramen, poke bowls, and cooked rice/noodle dishes. Whereas $80++ offers diners a set of amount of uni, plus unlimited amount of everything else, wagyu included. Sounds like a good deal, especially when one can eat a lot. Even as we are no longer Team Eat Till You Burst, we went for the premium, mainly for the nicer cuts such as toro and wagyu, and because uni!! Jumping in shortly after 5pm, we were promptly seated, marked a bunch of stuff on paper, and soon after submission, we got food brought to our table. It was a decent meal overall, so why 3 stars? Let's recap. Menu variety is fantastic, though of course we didn't get "one of everything", coz that's simply impossible. While the premium did cover a lot of grounds, it would have been nice if they also included anago (sea eel) which is currently only available on the a la cart menu, and maybe even offer couple lesser-known items such as monk fish liver app, sea grapes, off-the-beaten-path fish cuts, what have you. Would be happy even if we only get an allotment of those like we do with the uni. Now, service - great overall. Servers circulated around and were alert of customers' needs. Approached at appropriate times to take our order sheets, refill water, provide new order sheets, and ask if we wanted more food. So kudos on that. Their denotation of serving "regular portion" of cooked food had us hesitant in ordering, since we didn't want to be wasteful (or use our limited stomach space for dishes we can easily get elsewhere). But from other tables' orders as well as the one noodle dish that we ended up getting, it seems that the portion size was what I would like to see at AYCE places -- about 50-60% of regular Asian dish size, where 3-4 people can each have a couple bites "just to try". However, to think if that is what they call "regular portion", then it is definitely "Brookline pricing" on a la carte, which I would not recommend one to do such things on these items. Food is fantastic in general; we got a variety of stuff, and everything was really of top quality and taste. The meal would have been a "highly recommended" if they didn't serve the uni that we got. Out of the 12 pcs of uni sushi, all of them were... while not "foul" to a point where one cannot safely consume, they were definitely more sub-par than "ok but not great". Colors aside (which I understand there can be a range depending on origins and such), the uni was a "splat" of yellow stuff on rice, without distinct shape of the flesh. On top of the fishy smell (I'm talking about slightly ammonia-ish), the presentation and taste-texture upon them hitting our tongues... really left the ENTIRE room to be desired. In retrospect, we should have sent them back even if they weren't going to replace them. But instead, we stupidly forced ourselves to shove them all down in cowardly silence, then ordered another round of wagyu just to make us feel a little better about it. Yes, we weren't smart as customers. But if the restaurant is going to charge $100++ per person (after tax and tip), someone from the kitchen should have known better than pushing this thing out for customers to deal with. In their defense, yes, the uni itself was still "edible" in a sense that it didn't make us sick, but I'd maintain that better judgment should have been made. Once the shell was cracked open and you see this pale-gray yellow mush, it should have been decided that it is better repurposed, than be served straight to your customers as your star/featured product. As seen in other diners' experiences, it could just have been a one-off mishap, so I'm not knocking them entirely. But I do hope the restaurant would improve on their QC accordingly. It was such a disappointing low point in an otherwise wonderful meal.

    Miraku Boston is a ramen-focused Japanese restaurant in Brookline that centers its menu around rich…read morebroths, carefully prepared noodles, and a small selection of appetizers and sides. We walked into a cozy, understated space that often filled up quickly, giving it a lively but still relatively calm dining atmosphere once we were seated. The room was warm and functional, with a layout that kept the focus on the food rather than the décor, and the steady hum of conversation added to the comfortable energy. The main draw here is the ramen itself, especially the broth-forward bowls like shoyu and miso variations. We ordered a few different styles and found the Yaki Shoyu and spicy miso standing out the most, with deep umami flavors and a layered richness that built as we ate. The sesame ramen was also a popular option for its nutty, aromatic profile. When everything was hitting well, the broth was the clear highlight and felt like the reason to come. The noodles were a bit more divisive depending on preference. Some bowls landed perfectly, while others felt more standard or less fresh compared to the broth, which could slightly affect the overall balance of the dish. Because of that, the experience tended to be strongest when we stuck to the core ramen offerings rather than branching out too far into appetizers or rice dishes. Service was generally friendly and efficient, but the restaurant could get busy during peak hours, which might lead to a short wait before seating. Once inside, the pacing of the meal was smooth, and the atmosphere stayed comfortable enough for a relaxed lunch or dinner, even when the dining room was full. The staff moved through the room with ease, and the food came out without much delay. Overall, Miraku Boston is a solid ramen spot in the Brookline area that does best when focusing on its strengths: rich, flavorful broth-based ramen bowls. It is not overly experimental, but when the kitchen is on point, it delivers a satisfying and comforting ramen experience worth returning for.

I didn't order the limited bowl as that's not usually my choice of flavor for ramen broths but I got to try it. It was very mild and had a nice taste but still wouldn't be my go to order. For myself, I got the spicy miso which was nice and flavorful. My friends also ordered the Takoyaki and the Zangi Fried Chicken which were both good. For dessert we also ordered the Monako Ice Cream and Hojicha Chiffon Cake. The Hojicha Chiffon cake didn't have as much flavor as I would've liked and the ice cream that came with it, kind of just overpowered it, should get hojicha ice cream with this one to taste more hojicha.

    I wanted to love this place, but it's a mismatch for the vibe I was seeking…read more I was looking for zen, and given my view of the grocery store from my seat, a view of the prep kitchen in the other direction, the beat of the hip pop music playing unexpectedly loudly, and the lines, I'm thinking it's more of an urban, 20-something vibe. I probably would have loved it in my 20s. They do have a room with tatami mats & exposed brick with the vibes I was hoping for, but a woman is talking and gesticulating animatedly in there, and at another table there's a toddler, whereas the tables on the floor are ironically much quieter. Maybe I'll check out that room next time? I get the establishment isn't responsible for patrons' volume or meltdowns. They have signs asking you not to stay more than 90 minutes...which I find fascinating, as the ambiance doesn't lend itself towards lingering. Nonetheless, 4 stars because I really enjoyed my first iced Houjicha Latte. In the future, I'll take my drink orders to go.

    I've come here on two different weekends. It's an interesting place. It's a mix between a Japanese…read moreconvenience store, a Japanese gift shop, a tea shop, a dine-in restaurant, and an onigiri food stand. It'a good at doing all of these things, but perhaps not great. (I was told it transitioned during Covid from a true restaurant to a convenience store, and now it's sort of a hybrid of both.) I wish they'd have a separate line for store customers and restaurant customers. The single line gets very long, and they never seem to have more than one or two staff manning the register. As a result of this bottleneck plus the confusing store layout, the place feels pretty chaotic on busy days. Be prepared for a long wait! I wouldn't come here with more than two or three people.

    Akami Omakase is such a great addition to the omakase scene around Boston. It's the first omakase…read morein the area that I've seen come in under $100, and it absolutely did not disappoint. Even with the lower price point compared to many other omakase spots nearby, the quality and freshness of the fish never felt like it was lacking. Every course tasted thoughtfully prepared and well balanced, and you could really tell care was put into the ingredients. What really makes the experience stand out though is Chef Jam. He keeps the atmosphere fun and engaging while still delivering a great omakase experience. It doesn't feel stiff or overly formal like some sushi counters can -- just great sushi and good energy. If you've been wanting to try omakase but were hesitant because of the price tags around Boston, this is the perfect place to start. Great value, fresh fish, and a really enjoyable experience.

    The omakase at Akami could make any day a special occasion and even more so if it is a day worth…read morecelebrating! The full staff puts in the work to ensure an amazing experience. Food: The menu was a perfect blend of new unexpected flavor combinations, decadent fish cuts prepped with great care, and even normal fish cuts elevated to new flavor peaks! Service: The chefs gave enticing descriptions of the dishes that really emphasized an appreciation of food and the wait staff kept the meal flowing with ease. Atmosphere: The standard sushi bar was great for watching the staff, so even between bites we had something to talk about and get excited by. The interior is not only neat and clean it helps take your mind off of everything beyond the front doors.
