    We stopped by Maki on Saturday night without a reservation at 5pm and didn't have to wait. The restaurant was empty, but started filling up quickly after 5:30pm. Service was good. Our waitress was attentive and helpful when we placed our order. Sushi is one of my favorite meals and I thought the rolls were just fine. For me personally, there seemed to be something lacking in flavors of the rolls we got. Some of the sushi rolls we ordered (spicy tuna, caterpillar, etc.), I've had before at other restaurants, but it didn't quite taste the same here. The blazing tsunami roll was probably my favorite and one of the only rolls that stuck out to me.

    Tuna Tataki

    Until recently we probably went to Maki only a few times for special occasions. Still the case, because it can be pricey, but now many of our special occasions mean we're going to Maki. Is a spicy tuna roll and spicy edamame the same everywhere? Apparently not! Cause Maki just does it better. We went on a Wednesday last week, service is great and quick. The restaurant is clean, nice, not anything super crazy. Doesn't need to be. I got a tuna tataki tonight for no reason other than l thought about it all day.

    Crab Rangoon Roll

    Sushi boat for 2 was decent but nothing stood out as outstanding. Miso soup was super salty so I didn't finish it. Service was ok. Bathroom and floor outside it was super slippery. Public parking convenient across the street or metered parking.

    Still the best! Fresh, inventive and great presentation... no wonder they are a North Shore favorite!

    I've been to many sushi bar in different states and this is the farthest that I've seen how small amount of tuna and salmon meats on a sushi rolls. For the price that I have paid for the sushi rolls should be half the price for it. I couldn't even taste the spicy tuna nor the spicy salmon rolls that I ordered. I am very unpleased with the service as well. We didn't get our drinks until I asked for it and especially my miso soup which was last served from all of my orders. I'm definitely not coming back.

    I removed most of the cucumber here because it was all cucumber and i wanted to show how little crab there is

    Every time i get a California roll with the imitation crab it's great but i have gotten the Snow Crab on a few times and each time they put like no crab at all to try to scam you. You pay almost $4 more for far less actual meat just a bunch of cucumber. I have given them a few chances however i think this needs to be addressed and changed. I also ordered for pick up a little before 5 before they opened, pick up time said 5:45 we got there and they said we just need 5 minutes but we ended up Waiting there for 45 minutes!! And this is just when they first opened!

    Tried this place out for the first time, honestly because their Instagram ad looked good. Took my little sister for a birthday dinner. Place is really nice, service was great, and I have zero complaints about the sushi. Their sushi menu is HUGE, so tough to decide on what we wanted but our server threw in some suggestions and they were all great. Would definitely come back.

All fine in their own right, but not exactly the environment you think of when selecting a sushi restaurant. Then, just to enter, you need to find the entrance behind a support column and take an elevator up to the second floor. So right off the bat it's a bit strange. That being said, once we were seated for AYCE, everything was superb. The server would bring us a new order card immediately after we ordered each round of food and checked back often ensuring we never had to wait very long for the next round of food to come out. The entire menu was available...sushi, sashimi, rolls (including the special rolls), apps, soups, salads, and hibachi. The sushi wasn't elite, but absolutely fresh and tasty. And the wine is very reasonably priced. There is also a hibachi area of the restaurant that we didn't visit, but we could hear it. It was loud and full of families and it sounded like the chefs were putting on a good show and everyone was enjoying themselves.

    I recently tried Blue Fin around 3:30pm for a late lunch. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived,…read morebut it was definitely starting to pick up. The dining room has a nice vibe -- modern, clean, and comfortable. It feels like a good spot for a casual date or catching up with friends. That said, the noise level builds quickly. Everyone was chatting, and you could easily overhear conversations without even trying. Service was genuinely great. Our server checked in consistently for water refills, cleared plates quickly, and asked if we needed anything -- but never felt overbearing. That balance is appreciated and made the experience smoother. One thing worth noting: some menu prices are higher than you might expect, especially since Google lists the average around $20-$30 per person. For some of the higher-priced items, photos on the menu would really help set expectations. The portions do help justify the entrée pricing somewhat, but the overall bill -- $110 for a late lunch for two -- was honestly higher than expected. We started with the spicy edamame. To make it spicy was a $2 upcharge, which felt unnecessary -- most places offer regular, sea salt, or spicy at the base price. That rubbed me the wrong way. For sushi, we ordered two pieces of unagi and two pieces of wagyu. The fish/meat to rice ratio was generous (see picture). The unagi sushi is something a sushi chef can't really mess up -- solid and as expected. The wagyu sushi, however, had a very intense char on top and was extremely fatty. Depending on your preference, that could be a plus or a bit overpowering. The spicy beef rice bowl was a very large portion -- honestly enough to split between two people. The onions had a nice crunch and weren't soggy, which I appreciated. The beef is shaved rather than sliced, and you can't choose how it's cooked. The spice level was faint, should have spice level indicators on items like this. I did feel like the dish was missing another vegetable element that could have elevated it. The chicken curry bento box came with a lot: two tempura shrimp, two deep-fried pork gyoza, one sweet potato tempura, sticky rice, and the curry chicken. The chicken was very tender. The curry had that strong, classic curry aroma and was well balanced in flavor. Nothing to rave about. Both meals came with miso soup and salad. The salad dressing wasn't for me; I prefer something tangy, and this one tasted more like pan juices from cooked meat. For dessert, we tried the vanilla crepe cake. It honestly tasted like tiramisu. If they offered a matcha version, that might have set it apart more. I wouldn't order it again. Overall, I'm glad we tried it and had the experience. The service and portion sizes stood out positively. However, for the price point, it's not a "must-return" spot for me, and not somewhere I'd immediately recommend off the top of my head when people ask.

    Stopped by for lunch around 3:20. Quickly seated and service was efficient.

Staff were nice and I noticed that all the waitstaff worked together with different people checking in on us and delivering/clearing dishes.

The fish was insanely fresh that you could taste the difference. The rice bowl came with miso soup and the portion was large enough to easily feed two people. Glad we made the visit after hearing from several people how good their food is. We will be coming back!

Have tried many of the Korean restaurants in Allston and this, K Restaurant, seems to outrank them all! As for service -- indeed you pay first, but was a bit confused about the server/front desk who pretty much tell you to order before seated (choosing your own table), take your order, serve you with all the food, etc -- literally she handles all the customer service stuff -- wondering why she did not appear at pleasant or smile at all. Don't get me wrong, fully aware of wide range of personalities -- some appear more excited and enthusiastic than others others -- even without the the usual tipping at the end, and especially with the tipping at the end. Here, of course you pay -- and finalize your tip or no time before being served with your food, but still the server did not appear to greet or show those standard pleasantries expected all common in America ...
