There was a misunderstanding between the caller and I about the overall fees. In short I thought the delivery fee was the tipping fee included. Admitted my mistake and gave a tip to the driver after a few exchanges. For the delivery driver apologize for the mistake and sure hope the rest of your week are a lot better than today. read more

Okay, so this past weekend (Sept. 12) was my first time eating at Kayuga's. Now, I love sushi and have been to Fugakyu's in Coolidge Corner a good number of times, which I still think is the greatest thing ever. But my buddies were getting the sushe, and they like this place, hence... Simple joint. It is quiet, clean, and the sushi was pretty inexpensive and solid. My buddies and I had the Boston Maki, Fire Dragon Maki, the Spicy Tuna Maki, and a few bottles of sake. Everything tasted relatively fresh. If anything, though, go for the Fire Dragon Maki -- amazing! I'm actually tempted to make a pit stop for these some day. The main issue that I had was the service/waitstaff. We got some grumpy pretty-boy who sat us, gave us water, and disappeared. It was 20 minutes before anyone returned to us and asked what we wanted to order -- and it wasn't even our waiter! And It was another 30 or more minutes before our food arrived in an uncrowded restaurant on a Saturday evening. I know there are other sushi joints within close proximity to Kayuga that I've heard good things about, so I'd try them first before coming here. All in all, nothing at all spectacular. read more

For sure, this is the best overall sushi restaurant in Boston. The prices are delicious and so are the specialty maki rolls. I would recommend virtually any of them. One unique one, if you're in the mood for steaming hot and fried maki...get the Alan's roll!! Oh, and the spicy seafood salad as an appetizer is to die for. For dessert, all of the mochi are superb!! The staff are excellent and have gotten to know us and our insane love for ginger - they bring it to the table when they see us walk it. THE BEST SUSHI! I don't want to name drop, but some of the other ones in town are tasty, but cannot compare to the quality and price at Kayuga. Oh! and if you're a student, you can look around town for a 10% (i think) coupon off your entire meal. They deliver and are open until very late ...1am or later. read more

This is the best sushi place in Boston period. The food is always SUPER fresh and they have a wonderful garden salad with the most amazing dressing that is soooo amazing that you it will be hard to eat salad again without it. The owners of this restaurant work at both of their locations and it shows. I have never had better service in any restaurant. I could not believe it when Sue--the wife of the husband and wife team--began to make special orders and sushi for me as she became familiar with the food I like to order! Now where can you get THAT?! I have sent so many of my friends here and they cannot believe how good the food is and how reasonable the prices are--I would love to know where to get a garden salad half this good in Cambridge for $3. I have eaten everywhere in the BU area and there is nothing better! read more

This place is probably better for drinking than for eating. The food service could be a bit faster, some times it takes forever for the food to come out. The staff is nice enough but the food isn't the best. If I was craving japanese food and this was the only place open, I wouldn't mind coming here, otherwise, I'd probably go somewhere else. read more

One of the best places for sushi in Boston. And so cheap!!! Great selection of rolls, and the warm house sake is perfect. They staff is always super friendly and attentive as well. Favorite date night spot. read more

Really bland spicy tuna which is, in my opinion, the cheese pizza of sushi restaurants. It was also poorly made. I had some specialty roles, which were also mediocre. It is open late night, which is a plus. But it is also kind of slow and average. Definitely much better places right up the street in Coolidge corner. read more

Went there on a Sunday night. First impression: looks fancier from outside than it really is. Normally a couple who is usually very fast at ordering, we took quite a bit of time. Ended up ordering sushi and bibimbap, but didn't find it exceptional. I think there are better Japanese/Korean fusion restaurants in Boston. Good service though. read more

I Come here 2 a week for the past 3 years. Order same thing every time. Never had a reason to change up my routine!

I prefer this place to Fin's, mostly because a) my sushi came with less mayo here b) most of the special rolls at Fin's are cooked. I'm from Vancouver BC, aka the cheap sushi capital of the world ($19 all-you-can-eat, and no, not the kind that gives you food poisoning) and this place is on par with the average sushi places back home. Consistent, good value, and not disgustingly chock-full of mayo. If you have a sushi craving but don't want to break the bank, it's a great place for that. I liked their bibimbab, but preferred the one from Koreana in Cambridge. I really love the Halloween maki (salmon, mango, a ton of tempura flakes). Their spicy scallop isn't bad, either. I've had the Ikura Sake don on a few occasions and although the salmon is obviously farmed, it wasn't bad. If sushi is haute cuisine to you, then look elsewhere. If you're from the west coast or somewhere else with an 'acceptable sushi on every corner' culture, then this place will do you just fine. read more

Great Sushi! Came here last night. Everything was super fresh!

I've eaten at a few asian restaurants, however this is my favorite when it comes to pad thai. The portion was large and filling. I've had friends who have gotten sushi and haven't been disappointed. The service is pretty decent and the environment is great. Great place for a date or a friends night out! read more

Comfy atmosphere but food is fair. Skip any chicken . Yellow tail smelled fishy in the sushi . Stick with rice and vegi noodle dishes. Would not return. read more

Kayuga used to be pretty decent. The quality has greatly declined since I ate here relatively regularly. It's the kind of place where you would want to stick with maki because you can't trust the nigiri or sashimi. Unfortunately, when I got a maki here last week, not only was it mediocre (rainbow roll with brown rice) with an off-putting taste, I bit into a staple lodged in my rice. Disgusting. read more

Never again. The service here is so bad.. The lady at the reception is so rude and arrogant.. Not worth it when the food is over priced and if there is such bad Managment of this place who knows how our food is made in that back. Never. Again. read more

I ordered delivery and not only did it take well over an hour but when I called to inquire where my order was, they were incredibly rude about it and made various excuses as to why. It was by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced, they clearly do not know how to run a successful business. I was so disappointed and I would not recommend going to this restaurant, even based on the other reviews I've read on here. read more

Have been coming here for last 10 months and it is the ONLY sushi place I go to. I've tried everything else in area and Kayuga tops it all. Friendly staff and the sushi is always perfection. Alan's Special Maki is unique and absolutely delicious. The fried oysters, chicken wings and seaweed salad are great as well. As far as sushi any and all of the rolls I've had are delicious. I love the spicy tuna crunch roll and the dragon, and volcano roll. read more

Smallest portions I have ever experienced. I ordered delivery and the miso soup is service in a container about 1.5 inches tall - more or less 3 spoonfuls. The rolls themselves were also very small. I can usually fill up on 1 special roll (i ordered volcano and fire dragon maki between a friend and I) but they were so small that I could've ordered one whole other roll for myself. Please use caution when ordering or eating here as the portions are very small. Food was fine but not worth the money. read more

All of their standards are solid. I tend to rate places based on their gyoza and Kayuga has tasty tasty tasty gyoza. It's right on my walk home from work, so they get an A+ for convenience. Price is fair for the area. I never eat in, always grab it and go or get it delivered. And more importantly, when i screwed up my order and had it delivered to work instead of home, they begrudgingly brought it to my house a couple miles away from the original location. And the food didn't even look like it was spit on! Thanks, Kayuga!!! read more

Had some super overpriced sushi and chicken wings here once. All pretty good, glad they're open so late... but it's a terrible idea if you have drunken munchies to eat sushi. I suggest they close before 1:30... for my sake. read more

I got it delivered and it was great! I got spicy salmon maki and wings and they were both great. Although the sushi was warmer than I usually like it was good. Maybe they could put the warm and cold foods in separate bags? Either way I still definitely be going back. read more

it's not great food. it's not bad either. the owner lady is super nice (esp if you speak korean... although she would be just as nice if you can speak chinese, i assume). the bibimbop is similar to typical korean restaurants in boston. the kayuga udon is actually but with udon noodles (and way too much onions). the kimchee fried rice is too american-ized for me. the sushi is about average too. the best quality of this place is how late they are open. for late night korean/japanese, i dont think there is anything like this around the area. gets pretty loud with drunk koreans, though. read more

I come here a lot when I want Korean food more than Japanese food. The two times I've gone and ordered sushi were bad. The fish doenst look fresh nor does it taste fresh. There are better sushi places in town for better prices or the same price with a fresher taste and look. However, i love the Korean food here. The bibimbab and the maeuntang is very goood. It's usually not crowded when I go, but on the weekends it seems to be a pretty popular place. The service is good, but the atmosphere isnt anything special. read more

been there a few times. decent korean food and sushi, but the food takes forever to come out. if you are starving or in a hurry, dun go to this place. grape soju is recommended. read more

Some dishes are good, some are not. Stick with smaller plates. Love their corn cheese though!

Had a pleasant meal with friend on an early Sat night. Shared the seaweed salad and edamame. I had a chirashi bowl for main, which came with salad and miso soup. I also substituted white rice for brown rice. Had green teat, as well - served in big mugs that was constantly refilled as needed. I was very pleased with the service - very efficient. Though not cheap, I think it was good value for the money, especially with the miso soup and salad with all entrees. Would definitely go again if in the area. read more

Black Forest maki is delicious! Perfect for that eel craving with subtle sweet potato and LOADS of avocado

Delivery guy was extremely rude. Parked at the other side of the street, wouldn't come out. When I approached him, he demanded a tip before releasing the order (order was already tipped). He then threw the food to the street. Food was cold... read more

Kayuga would be great if it wasn't for it's inconsistency. I say this because I've had really great and really horrible sushi from here. While they get props for being open really late when you're craving some sushi, I think they know that they're the only option for college students looking for a tasty sushi midnight snack, and definitely take advantage of it. When I have ordered late from here, the avocado has been brown, not fresh at all and the rolls weren't wrapped well at all. However, when I went to eat there just a few weeks later, the sushi was incredibly fresh, rolled well and delicious. So I guess the only thing to say here is take your chances! read more

I must say, I was very impressed with the food. I eat Japanese food frequently, including sushi at least once a week, and the food here was very good. I highly recommend it to any one. in fact, I enjoyed it so much, I went back the next evening for dinner. The service was very good as well. read more

This is hands down my favorite japanese/sushi place in Boston! I order it to be delivered to my apartment all the time and have gone to sit down a few times too. The chicken maki roll is my favorite. It is a chicken terriyaki sushi roll for those of you who are not fish lovers. They also have the same one with salmon or steak too. The service was great the times I have gone in to sit down. They are very attentive and it is never really that busy when I go during the week which is nice- never had to wait for a table. I have brought friends there that have become hooked and tell me that they now order it delivered whenever they are in the mood for sushi. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for a while. I've been ordering from Kayuga for about a year now. The quality is always very good, the delivery time is very respectable, and the staff are always very polite. They are my go-to place for food delivery, period. read more

It's open til 2 some nights which is a major plus. I usually only go to drink and sake bomb, but the karaoke is pretty hilarious. The sushi is also pretty good. It's very reasonably priced and I know they deliver til late at night also. read more

The sushi is about average ( a tad overpriced). I do like the large screen televisions all around, which makes this a great place to go if you want sushi and want to watch the game. read more

My wife and I just ordered three dinners from Kayuga on Commonwealth. The Bulgogi and the Spicy Pork was only OK. The Sashimi Dinner for $24.50 was so bad that we fed it to our dogs. The poor quality sashimi was covered with so much lemon, and even that was not enough to cover up the bad taste. We eat a lot of sushi and definitely know what is good and what is NOT. We will never order from here again! read more

Although Kayuga is a little bit of a jumble in regards to their menu, I love this place and their company. I used to be a regular back in my college days where we visited this place with a huge group. They were always able to accommodate us group of 10+ and the place got packed on weekends. I recently visited because I was in the area and the place seemed to have changed a little bit. Though not advertised well, Kayuga offers some Korean food which is very descent. I would say it's one of the better Korean food offered in Boston (granted, Korean food is pretty whack in Boston). This time around, they offered me a little yellow menu along with a regular menu. In the yellow menu was various Korean snacks/food that went along while drinking. It had Gopchang Jjeegae, Cod Maewoontang, Chicken Gizzard, etc. I was so surprised to see these and definitely was excited. My friends and I decided to go for the Gopchang Jjeegae and chicken gizzard since we were drinking soju (Korean vodka). To our surprise, the gopchang jjeegae was HUGE (I mean, it WAS like $29.95) haha...regardless, it tasted great. The chicken gizzard was spicy and good. Later on, we ordered one of my favorite maki/roll of all times - the BU maki. It was still how I remembered it as, crispy yet creamy (cuz there's cream cheese in there) and tasty to its perfection! Their service was prompt and the waitstaff seemed vibrant. Even though the food is not over the top AMAZING, the food is still tasty and very much enjoyable. I would definitely visit Kayuga again the next time I'm around! read more

this place is awesome. it's modern mix japanese and korean food. the sashimi is very fresh, we love the hamachi kama...fantastic! and the waitress is diligent. and friendly. there is a full bar along with many LCD screen to catch the ballgames. the sake mix drinks are awesome.oh...dont forget the to order the fried ice cream! we would love to go back again. read more
