Sushi sushi sushi! Can I ever get enough of it? I doubt it. But then - that's the thing about Sushi. And I try my best not to get too excited when it comes to trying new places. And then try not to get too critical about what I get there. That's where comes in Ichiro Sushi. This place would have evoked mixed emotions and reactions from me for a variety of reasons. But at the end of the day, it delivers when it comes to the sushi itself. On a Friday afternoon, I went there with a couple of other co workers for lunch. Sushi was on the agenda so we did not even bother looking at other items on the menu - like the terriyaki and other Japanese dishes. Everything we ordered was quite good. The sea food and the ingredients used to prepare the sushi was all fresh. We tried about 5 different rolls and a combo of nigiri and sashimi. Everything was good. I totally forgot to ask our waitress about soy rolls and realized it only when we got our last roll. Too bad. They do make rolls with soy paper as well as brown rice. Not a big one on brown rice rolls, I would have loved to try the soy paper rolls. She said the soy rolls were $2 extra and the brown rice rolls were $1.50 more. Oh well. Live and learn, Milton is a great town. And for the center to have just one Sushi place kind of works in favor of this business, although a bit surprising. Is this the best sushi place in the vicinity? I don't think so. Quincy really has a lot of amazing choices. And there are a few other things that possibly don't work in the favor of this place. Some of which are: It is in the middle of a very congested Milton downtown area where parking is a big, big challenge. The restaurant itself is quite small with not too many tables for guests. In fact, they don't even have their own bathroom but have an understanding with the Chinese restaurant next door for the guests to use the restrooms - a first for me. BUT - having said all that, the sushi was good. Not the best sushi I have ever had - for that I intend to fly down to Vegas - once every so many months. But given the choices available in this town, it is good enough. Finally, our waitress was really good. She was always around to check on us if we wanted anything or if we had any questions. They were quite busy with take out orders. I totally see the reason why. I feel so very lucky to have so many sushi options within short distance of where I work and where I live. Ichiro is definitely on that list. read more

Typical sushi place that doesn't have a large asian crowd. The sushi rolls are typical and aren't really anything special. I have ordered from here three times for delivery after my initial dining in experience. The food here is subpar compared to other sushi restaurants that are located right across the city border into quincy. The rice is usually kind of hard and is way too much on a sushi roll. Some of the items and rolls are extremely overpriced and I definitely regret giving them so many chances of redemption when I get sashimi that isnt fresh and even has a strange odor, takoyaki that is too pitiful to even call takoyaki as well as some other items. Definitely a better experience if you are ordering takeout or are dining in compared to delivery. Clearly the same quality isn't there when you are ordering delivery. read more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant!! Their sushi is AMAZING, they have great service, and good prices as well. Down side? Sushi takes a bit to come out. But which work of art doesn't? It's so tasty that it's worth every second of the wait! Will definitely keep coming back! read more

Ichiro Sushi - To the left is the Mariner's roll and to the right is Summer roll. Delicious! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milton, Massachusetts

I'd like to start by saying this used to be one of my favorite, local sushi spots. The food is good and the service was friendly. My family and I have been frequenting this restaurant for over 6 years and had a great rapport with Prima, the manager. Everything seemed fine up until last month when her energy started to change. We first noticed that anytime we'd call for delivery, there would always be a reason why they couldn't deliver. For example, we were once told that there would be a 90 min wait and we told her that was fine but then she told us they still couldn't deliver! Like why even tell me about the wait if you were still going to say no?! That was annoying because we already had our hopes up and minds set on sushi. Being long term clients, we just figured they must have been very busy lately, we did call about an hour before close. This last time, we ordered two boxes of the beef teriyaki lunch special as well as Winter maki. In general, they have been slacking on their beef teriyaki. It used to be great but lately, whether I dine in or take out, it has been really fatty along the edges of the meat, deeming some pieces inedible. This time, the maki was good but the meat looked almost completely raw. Usually a light pink/brown in color, this meat looked red and the texture as if it were merely thawed and barely cooked at all. So gross. I called immediately to complain (the first time ever, the food's usually great so I've never asked for a refund before). The manager answered and when I told her what the problem was she did apologize but then asked me if I could just cook it myself. Really? I just paid you almost $30 for YOU to prepare my food and yet you're asking ME to do your job? Unprofessional. When I told her I was worried about cross contamination because the raw meat was laid across the bed of rice and that I'd simply prefer a refund, she gave me a hard time. First she said yes, then she retracted her statement and offered a store credit instead. Again, being loyal customers, we reluctantly accepted. Right after agreeing to the credit, she slips in, "And by the way, we won't be delivering to you anymore. Our driver said he was almost robbed at GUNPOINT delivering to your area. But you're still welcome to dine in." I was vexed! Shocked and appalled at her accusations! She assumed, because I live in Mattapan, a predominantly black neighborhood, that my area must be riddled with crime and violence. This isn't the case. Seeing as she doesn't actually do the deliveries herself, she was clearly unaware of the fact that I actually live in a gated complex with a guard house at the entrance. Her accusations sounded like she was pulling them out of thin air, straight bullshitting me because when my sister chimed in (it was on speaker) and mentioned that we do in fact have guards, the manager threw in, "Security did intervene and stopped the robbery," therefore trying to further bullshit me!!! Come on!! My family has been living in this complex for over 30 years and incidents like this do not occur. If something as life threatening as this did occur, why weren't the police notified? She was clearly lying which was honestly a blow to the heart because we've had such a great relationship up until that moment. We were regulars that always walked in with big smiles on our faces, ran up the bill, and left generous tips. We even brought them new clientele. We didn't understand where she was coming from and by that point we didn't care. Her words were hurtful, slanderous lies. We even called the guard house, after getting our money back, and they confirmed that the situation I described never happened. The guard even went on to say they probably just don't want to deliver to Mattapan. DISCRIMINATION. That sickens me. As a human, a woman of color, and as a loyal, paying customer. I would've give Ichiro Sushi NO STARS if possible after having such racist service and slander thrown my way! Shame on you Ichiro Sushi! Thanks for taking the time to read! This sort of injustice, prejudice, and disgraceful customer service really needs to stop and people need to speak up for themselves! Have a blessed day! Ok thank you, buh-bye! read more

Ichiro Sushi - My lunchbox: The meat looks too red! That little sliver in the middle looks especially raw, like fresh out the packaging! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milton, Massachusetts

I, too, was initially skeptical. Sushi in Milton? Usually I go downtown and pay the big bucks. After reading some reviews, I decided to take a chance on delivery since sometimes it is nice to have sushi at home. Everything was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. We had some of our standard favorites (such as scorpion and spider maki, salmon sashimi) as well as Ichiro originals like the White Mountain and Milton maki, which were both creative and excellent. My husband enjoyed the seaweed salad, which is one of his favorites. The person on the phone was helpful, and they delivered in less than 40 minutes (to Dorchester). We will definitely be getting this sushi again and again! read more

I was amazed to find we had a sushi restaurant in Milton. The restaurant scene is less than stellar but with the addition of Ichiro Sushi, it is looking up! I have ordered take-out several times and it has been excellent. Shrimp dumplings are as good as any I've had, fried oyster appetizer is very good, as is the sweet potato maki. And be sure to try the negihamachi maki. read more

The fish is fresh, the miso soup is good and their salad dressing is amazing. Also, in other related bonuses: it is spotless in there and the waitresses are extraordinarily nice. Also, there is never a wait, they deliver (if you're feeling housebound) AND there are always Japanese people eating there- I take that as a very good sign. Best eats there are: the vegetarian combo, or really any of the combos, also the nebayaki udon and for special rolls the winter maki and the milton maki are both great. Also, all of the combos come with miso and a salad. I'm giving it five stars based on this. If I was nit picking, I would knock off a star because they don't serve booze and you have to walk two doors down to Mr. Chan's for the bathroom. But we seriously love the food so much I can't bring myself to knock one off. If you want sushi in the Milton/Quincy area do not go anywhere else. read more

Let's good the good part out of the way: the fish is cut pretty well and is of pretty good quality. Now for everything else. I eat a lot of sushi, and have eaten it around then world and especially across Japan. I'd say the best all around restaurant for traditional sushi in the Boston area is Toraya in Arlington. Ichiro Sushi does not hold a candle to Toraya. The rice is over-vinegared, the nigiri is packed too tightly, and the sushi isn't seasoned at all. I honestly don't know how this place is rated so highly. If you're looking for sushi in the Quincy-Milton area, I'd recommend going to B Cafe or Fuji in Wollaston. read more

First time I order. To sum up, i believe this will be one of my new top ones! The quality is AMAZING, they have a huge variety and new rolls that will surprise you (also have all traditionals) Service was super friendly and fast and the price is reasonable, totally worth it! Must try read more

Ordered takeout from here and was surprised at how good everything was. I love sushi but sometimes I feel like takeout is never good. The winter maki was a solid four star choice. Spicy tuna and Owl maki are also good but the owl maki was almost too big to eat in one bite. I am glad I was at home for that roll. The red bean moochi where a great finish! read more

My fiance and I either order in or eat at Ichiro once a week. The sushi is always fresh, and the staff always friendly. Seriously though, the sushi is so good. We used to go to Owl Station when we lived in Southie, and this is their sister restaurant (I believe) so we made sure to try it as soon as we moved to Quincy, and we're so glad we did! They have creative rolls and tons of options, and we haven't come across an order we haven't loved yet. And now I am craving sushi... read more

Phenomenal quality and impeccable service. Could cut my salmon sashimi with one chopstick. read more

The guy and I have been here twice this month, since it's not only a short drive from Dot, it's also excellent eats. A tiny shop with 5 or 6 tables max, Ichiro boasts fresh and tasty sushi. The prices are comparable to higher-end places, and not reasonable for such a sleepy town center, but I suppose the Milton crowd can swing it and that's why. However, despite the high prices, you still have to use the restroom two doors down, which they share with a chinese restaurant. The fish has been excellent each time we've been there, and the selection of special maki is great. Miso soup is yummy and don't miss the pork gyoza. That sauce is so boss. One thing I've noticed is they play a whole CD during dinner service. First time was Beyonce. Last time it was Rihanna. So if you like your young pop stars and sushi, go to Ichiro. read more

Very good, great atmosphere if you eat there! Staff are super nice, I wish they still had their green tea ice cream! It was one of my favorites read more

Did love this place until I realized they put mayo in absolutely everything! Yuck. In my opinion only certain rolls need a small amount, and there are so many rolls I cant order because they just pack on the mayo. Their rolls and appetizers are also ridiculously overpriced for the portion size. I only order when i'm desperate. Some good rolls: -california maki $6.50 -new california maki $8.50 -shrimp tempura maki (4 pcs) $8.50 -vegetable dreaming maki $10.50 -Mariners Maki $12.95 read more

Ichiro Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milton, Massachusetts

Pretty decent place...Sushi is fresh. Its never too busy and the service is quick and friendly...The only reason i would take a star out is that they don't have a restroom and you have to use next door.. read more

Having recently moved back to Milton from Somerville, we were in a state of near-panic about the food (take-out especially) situation. I found the reviews here and gave Ichiro a shot...and have gotten delivery from them about once a week since. The fish is fresh and nicely cut and the beef tataki is fabulous. You might want to have some soy sauce on hand, as some of our guests have noticed a weird taste to it. Best of all, the delivery time has rarely exceeded twenty minutes, which is a major improvement over our Somerville go-to guys. Yay, I'm a fan. read more

Decent sushi... +++the spicy tuna itself was tasty, -----but had wayyy too much cucumber. It was almost double the tuna! +++the spicy seafood soup was amazing...! read more

last night i was up all night finding a sushi place for tonight and came across Ichiro on yelp and i decided to give it a try since the menu looked good. the restaurant was on the smaller side but not bad if you get there at a good time. when i got there, there was only 1 other table seated, but the whole place filled up while i was eating. the food was good, we got 4 speciality rolls and a teriyaki chicken skewers and white rice. the food was very good and the waitress was very attentive and always made sure we had water in our cups. i would def return to try the rest of their menu. I didn't find any "cons" per say with the restaurant, however, they don't have a restroom and if you like to have a drink or two, they don't have a bar. If that doesn't bother you then i definitely recommend eating here! Enjoy! read more

Ichiro Sushi - Wild Cat Mali $12.95 - deep fried seaweed wrapped lobster, cream cheese, eel with teriyaki sauce - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milton, Massachusetts

ive eaten here on a few occasions- one of my bf's swears by Ichiro as the best place in here area (Milton/lower mills) to get affordable and fresh sushi. I have not been blown away with the experience but always satisfied. I like the Boston Roll (lobster and asparagus), the spicy mayo and the seaweed salad among others. The service is consistently good. read more

The sushi tasted fresh, interesting sushi choices, and the service was great; would definitely pick this over other sushi places in the south shore area. We got the red sox maki (with lobster and asparagus), a salmon/avocado maki, and the milton maki (note the salmon inside is cooked). They all were tasty, and the red sox one came with large lobster chunks; the milton maki was nice and crispy outside. The server was super attentive and frequently filled up our tea cup (which has been uncommon among other sushi places I've tried throughout the boston area). Some of the better sushi we've had in Boston (Oisshi is comparable), and good quality without the pretentious and trendy vibe of some of the fancy more Japanese fusion restaurants in metro Boston. read more

For a small restaurant in Milton, this place was pretty good. The service was top-notch, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. I had the Sushi Regular, which included 9 pieces of Nigiri sushi and 6 maki rolls...awesome. This combo also came with a mediocre salad and a yummy bowl of miso soup. My dining partner had the Tempura appetizer and the Ichiro sushi. We found both our meals to be delicious. However, we noticed that this restaurant seemed to favor the spicier things in life (which I am partial to, but my company was not). All in all, we were happy with the sushi, service, and the fact that we were seated right away. When I asked for more ginger, too, I was given a heaping pile. :) For a simple restaurant, the sushi was great, but not the absolute best in the area. My experience deserves a solid 4 stars. For my "Sushi" list: 3 stars read more

the place is pretty small, but that didn't matter since I was getting carry out. We drove by and I decided I wanted sashimi and tempura. They were very fast with the preparation and packaged everything really well. I'm not sure if they'll deliver all the way to Dorchester, but I would order from them again. read more

Just had the best sushi I've had in years. This is a small place in Milton Square. Not many tables. No liquor license. But the freshest, tastiest sushi I have ever tasted. So good, we even had to order a few extra pieces after we finished our initial order. Great service too. read more

Really torn with this review. The staff are super friendly which is why the 3 stars are here. The sushi however, is lacking. We ordered the spicy salmon (not spicy and really lacking flavor) and the spicy chicken maki, which was also lacking a lot of flavor. The only sushi, that I didn't eat but my sister ordered, was the sweet potato maki. My sister said it was really good (I didn't try it because I don't like sweet potato ). But for the price, not even the super sweet staff and cutesy decorated place can make up for it. read more

Ichiro Sushi is definitely a decent place for your sushi craving. The main courses were made right in front of us and were fresh, despite what other posts may indicate. Coming from someone who eats fish quite often, the product was definitely fresh. The wait staff was friendly & courteous and turned on the Celtics game for me to watch because he noticed I was looking at another TV to follow the game. Ichiro Sushi is a small, quaint little hole-in-the-wall type restaurant, but it is modern, clean and definitely not a bad place to have dinner. Prices were reasonable and I plan to dine again there. The only downside is they do not have a bathroom in the restaurant itself, you have to walk literally 5 steps to Mr. Chan's next door. (Not a big deal, but thought I would point it out to those people who are extremely picky). Happy Dining! read more

The salmon teriyaki was a disaster. It tasted like it was frozen and old and it was also super overcooked. I felt ripped off with the sushi. $70+ bucks for the teriyaki, two rolls and a hand roll and the food was mediocre. read more

Can't stress how much I love this place. They honestly have the best sushi I've ever had. Everything tastes so fresh and delicious. The service is great and the prices are reasonable. No other sushi I've had has been able to compare. read more

Seriously I am so glad I have FINALLY tried this place. I was actually skeptical because we ordered delivery. The idea of sushi being delivered in my mind is pure amazingness, but sadly my experiences have been that sushi really loses something after a car ride. This sushi, however, absolutely did not. Between my friend and I we devoured a seaweed salad, tuna rolls, avocado rolls, naruto and an ichiro combo complete with salad and miso soup. No words can explain the utter contentment we both felt after this meal. And something I didn't expect was how sweet and helpful and nice and amazing and lovely (overkill?) the person who took my order over the phone was. It was just enjoyable to even talk to her! "A"-quadruple-plus to your business and to your food, Ichiro! Keep me on file and I'll make sure to keep money in the bank so I can continue enjoying your fabulous food! But even if I reach a point of no money, I may just call to say hi...because did I mention how enjoyable talking to you on the phone was? I did? Oh OK...well I hope it was as good for you as it was for me. read more

This is the only restaurant I can eat at and not feel gross. Gross meaning fat, guilty, and unhealthy. This place is as healthy as you can get. Don't forget to get the ice cream mochi balls. the BEST. Their Sashimi Deluxe plate is yummmmmm because I don't do rice. :) read more

This restaurant has twice now provided amazing food! We ate several orders of Maki for five people a few weeks ago in May 2020. Then, now in June 2020, we ordered for two people. We eat vegetarian so we picked Sweet Potato Maki, Edamame, Vegetable Gyoza, Miso soup, Vegetable Dreaming Maki, and Spring Maki. All food was fresh, delicious, pleasing in the mouth, and felt great to eat. We had some brown rice and some white rice. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Didn't really dig having dinner here. We initially got weired out by the lack of patronage (4 people) which put a damper on the mood for me... so quiet/awkward... Salmon sashimi was fresh but they missed taking out a bone... of which, was discovered after it was in my mouth. Again, another nugget that cut down the enjoyment of my dinner here. The Wild Cat Roll was pretty good. It comes with lobster which was entirely overpowered by the cream cheese. Good thing I like cream cheese. The Gyoza, was moist, greasy and fecking awesome. Avocado Salad Roll was a delightful and subtle veggie item that came with a mild sweet chili sauce. The order of tempura had a nice variety of items: shrimp, shiitake mushroom, red bell pepper, cucumber and some kind of tasty squash. Yeah, it was a really really yummy and well presented comfort food kind of night. This place has some unique rolls that I haven't seen anywhere else (yet). I really appreciate the tasty variety and effort there. Note that for seating they have a sushi bar, tiny two-seater tables and two booths that could fit 6 people if you squished 4 people if you want to maintain your personal space. 3 stars for now. I'll try to come back again. Good food, good prices, just an off night. read more

I absolutely live this place! Even my 3 yr old loves their sushi. Spicy chicken Maki, California, New California Maki.... So many other good ones. The only issue, they don't deliver to Randolph. Since I moved I cant have my fix as often as I'd like. read more

Probably my favorite sushi place. I've been coming here for the past 10 years or so and stop in when I return from a BOS flight. The food is always great and the staff is even better -always eager to help! The place is always busy either with take-out or dine ins. Love it! read more

I loved this place, but ever since covid-19 the food quality has suffered more then just a little slip up. I understand it is a hard time to operate a business, and I am patient with things taking longer, but covid-19 is not excuse for what looked and tasted like pre-prepared sushi the last couple times I have ordered. Not like them!! I hope this drop in quality is temporary with the times. It was so good before that I'm not willing to completely give up on Ichiro. I hope they see this and fix their quality. read more

My sister and I went to Ichiro to satisfy my craving for sushi. I only eat vegetable sushi, but sis likes the fish. She is a regular there so we sat at the bar and chit-chatted with Eric the owner. He offered us the remote, but it was more interesting to chat with him. I loved the sweet potato sushi, and we split the spicy tofu. I did eat some shrimp nigiri, as well as some sort of egg nigiri. I think that's what it was anyway! They had a chart with pictures of the sushi on it, which helped considerably. The ubiquitous green tea on offer is the kind that I love - it has a sort of toasted quality to it that I really like and they are quick to refill. The staff was friendly and attentive and quick to have a laugh. Overall I liked it and will probably go again with sis. read more
