    Maki Combo
    Francisco P.

    I ordered takeout for 2 last night. I tried the 18 pc. maki combo that includes the spicy tuna maki, the California maki and the una-avo maki. I also ordered a mixed greens roll with avocado, sweet potatoes, lettuce, tofu, all enclosed in green soybean wrap, like a perfect little veggie Christmas present. Finally, we also had a vegetable Udon soup. The sushi was fresh and very tasty. Although I'm a meat-lover through and through, the mixed greens roll was surprisingly my favorite. The sweet potatoes, avocado and tofu combo was very tasty. The udon soup was warm and flavorful. The price was very reasonable for the amount of food we ordered. I ended up paying ~$60 for 4 rolls, a soup with tip. If there is anything I like as much as good food, it is a good deal! I ordered online ahead of time and the order was ready when I arrived to pick it. The place looks nice and I think I'd like to eat in the restaurant next time. I'll be coming back.

    Vegetable Udon Soup, Mixed Greens Roll, Maki Combo

    I am still fairly new to the Watertown area. To me, part of a place feeling like home is having go-to local take out options, and New Ginza has now become a go-to! We recently came on a rainy blustery day, and the spicy seafood soup hit the spot for my boyfriend. He added some fresh lime at home and devoured it with a side of rice. Menu says it's Korean style, with shrimp, scallops, and clams. The tofu was an awesome touch- I stole some, because I love tofu in soup. I had to leave a glowing review because of my new all time favorite vegetable roll: mixed greens roll. Includes avocado, sweet potato, sweet tofu, and lettuce wrapped up in a green soybean wrap with yuzu mayo on top! I highly recommend this roll.

    Excellent sushi! Excited to know they had my uni sushi! Very happy. I also loved the spicy tuna, spucy scallops, Scorpion and catapillar roll. For dessert, I had the sago mango dessert and mango crepe which was light .i would definitely come here again. I learned that there was oyster Mondays which i must try.

    Salmon Lover Box

    Pros - Salmon Lover Box was good - Spider Maki was good - Crab Rangoon was nice and crunchy. Cons - expensive - Sashimi Deluxe was fine but did not have the variety listed on the menu, I don't like tai and they put in 6 pieces

    The food was very good. The sushi tasted so fresh. The ambiance is decent. We made a reservation but it was not needed. There was no line. We went on a Monday. We read about servers being very kind and courteous. Although we didn't get that kind of treatment until half the time we were there. There were not many servers present too. We might not be dining there again but will get some food for takeout.

    Wild Sashimi Salmon Salad

    We love everything about New Ginza. All food is delicious. My favorite is Wild Sashimi Salmon Salad. Outstanding, especially the dressing. Service is super-fast, very pleasant. Ambience is also great. It is our place to go.

    I like it. I like it a lot. Not hi or lo brow but populist fare well executed with excellent customer service to boot. They have a $1 oyster special that comes with an excellent mango salsa and wasabi the yakitori needs better flavor but well cooked and a great value they have favorites like vegetable tempura I highly recommend this place go try let me know what you think tell them I sent you and watch them blink in ignorance.

    Their portions are bigger than most Japanese restaurants, we always get seating, and the service is wonderful. We love this place!

    One of my favorite little lunch spots in the area. Simple, straightforward, no BS kinda casual spot…read morewith decently priced lunch specials and an acceptable culinary repertoire to back it all up. In fact, ever since the other Chinese spot changed ownership, I entirely switched to eating here whenever I want a quick sit down Chinese meal. The food is good. It comes out pretty fast. It's done pretty well. And the best part, it just doesn't remotely hurt the wallet. Even being a regular, I'm still amused at how the service is so stereotypical Chinese in the way that I'm just another soul coming in to be fed and not remembered or acknowledged. Mind you, I'm here a LOT and am usually the only one sitting there eating while delivery people repeatedly come and go. Anyways, two reasons why I'm unable to give them 5 stars. First, the tap water they serve...tastes like @#$%. I don't know what it is but I've actually started bringing my own water bottle (or just ordered a soda). Two, the steamed rice is inconsistent. Half the time, it's perfect. The other half...is wet and mushy (I want to say a reheat but isn't that just such a faux pax in Chinese cuisine?). Nonetheless, this is one of the few four and less starred places on my list that I will still continue to frequent and recommend to anyone in the area wanting a quick and decent meal for cheap!

Oh well regular price a lot higher than lunch special price . Add on 2.00 for white rice as no rice with the dish? The shredded dish was good flavors and would order again. I don't see returning... prices high I'll go next door to Home Taste again

For $17.95, getting 3 rolls of sushi isn't a bad deal, so I'm giving this a 4/5. The combo comes with a spicy tuna roll, a california roll, and a salmon avocado roll. Spicy Tuna Roll: This was pretty disappointing. I really love spicy tuna rolls that have the minced tuna, spicy mayo, and tempura flakes all mixed together, but this was not that. This roll was a tuna cucumber roll with spicy mayo drizzled on top. With that, the spicy mayo was really overpowering and I couldn't taste the tuna at all. I'd prefer the normal tempura and mayo taste or just a tuna and cucumber, but doing it this way wasn't my favorite. California Roll: This was not bad - the imitation crab was big and plump and there was fish roe inside of the roll instead of on the outside which made it have a better texture in my opinion. The avocado was fresh and these bites were pretty enjoyable. Salmon Avocado Roll - This was the best roll of the 3 - the salmon tasted good and the avocado was fresh again. In all 3 rolls, the rice was a little dense, but at least it was a very filling 3 rolls for a good price point. 4/5!

Interior felt very modern and sleek - it was a bit small as well so it was a little cramped between tables and walking areas. The menu had a good selection of szechuan fare and we ended up sharing some of their popular dishes. I enjoyed the large fish one which was a good size for a family. Everything tasted authentic, my only qualm was paying for rice - you can't not have rice and it seems ridiculous to pay $3 for one bowl. Overall, a solid restaurant and option for Chinese food in Harvard Square.

    Two weekend visits to this relatively new subterranean Sichuan eatery in Harvard Square (Eliot…read moreStreet) with a very inviting interior and some VERY spicy dishes. -- Vegetarian Cold Noodle: Firm, peanut buttery, satisfying. Not spicy. Not too saucy, so you can "feel" the noodle, but I would have liked more vegetables. -- Yibin Fiery Noodles: Warm and similarly al dente, these were manageably spicy. Meat crumble, seeds or nuts, scallions, and heat. -- Red and Green Pepper Chicken: Batterless but crisp, tender, and not boneless. Relentlessly spicy from several heat sources and kaleidoscopically delicious. The closest comparison is dry hot chicken that also goes by a few other names, but this was better. Elite, and the best thing I ate in all of 2025, but sadly no longer on the menu. -- Stone Pot Tofu: Billed as Ma Po Tofu sizzling in a stone pot, but no sizzle and no stone pot. Identified as very spicy but minimally spicy and more numbing (more "ma" than "la"). I enjoyed the overall flavor (heavily seasoned) and the saltiness of the fermented black beans. Despite some of the menu discrepancies, this was a really good version for my tastes. Near-elite. -- Green Beans With Eggplant: Strong flavor, not too hot spicewise, but volcanically hot temperaturewise. Decent. -- Chicken and Clams: Black bean flavor, whole peppercorns, spicy but loaded with flavor beyond the spice. A deceptively huge and quite delicious. Elite. -- Beef Spring Rolls: Not my choice. Crisp, beefy, and chili sauce on the side added contrast. Solid, but boring, more typical of an Americanized offering, and a waste of an opportunity given Too Hot's killer menu. -- Pork Belly with Fermented Beans: Superb rendition, not drastically different from twice cooked pork, but much more flavor and giant pieces. Near-elite to Elite. -- Shrimp in Dry Hot Pot: Tons of dry rub spiciness, giant shrimp, chopped vegetables, and crinkle cut potatoes. Near-elite. -- Brussels Sprouts w/Shallots: More subtle flavors here but hardly bland. Fried shallots had sort of an onion ringy presence in miniature. Cooked just right. Outstanding overall experience, with the best dish on the first visit and almost all winners on the second. Kudos to the friendly and helpful service, including a server suggestion to switch an item after noticing we ordered two very similar items. Eager to return often and try even more of the menu.

My drink came after 15 mins and then we had to remind the waiter about his whiskey. That took another 10. We started with the chicken bao buns and the samosas. Both spectacular! My only complaint is the little size for the samosa size. For our mains we got the short rib and the white butter chicken. The butter chicken could've used a bit more chicken for the price and was frankly a bit tough. The sauce was great. The short rib was flavorful and packed the perfect punch. Dipping the garlic naan in both sauces was my fav part!! Overall an ok experience. I want to give the restaurant grace because it was very packed but service was poor. I think we had 4 different staff members help us total which probably led to lots of miscommunication.
