Our favorite place in East Boston for sushi and Poke bowls. Reasonable prices, great sushi, and friendly staff.

Large portions for the poke bowls. Fast service and delicious takeout spot. Highly recommend

I went here today for the first time and I order chicken gyoza and shrimp tempura, the food was good and the ladies at the counter are really nice will definitely be back again they have ramunes too! read more

Sunny Cafe - Gyozas and shrimp tempura! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Goodness this place was a pleasant surprise! I've been craving a Poke Bowl for a while now and decided to take a chance on Sunny Cafe. I'm so glad I did. The bowl I ordered was fresh, extremely tasty, and very inexpensive. The restaurant seemed very, very clean and the women working there were very helpful. I'll definitely be back again. read more

I was absolutely starving and it was still awful. I ordered 5 various raw sushi and maki rolls. Everything tasted old, artificial, and/or just bottom of the barrel quality, even the ginger. I literally thought the octopus was rubber for showcase purposes. Needless to say I threw most of it in the trash. It's worse than mall kiosk sushi. If you want good chinese food and sushi just cross the street. read more

Literally one of my favorite sushi places EVERRRR!!!!!!! I always order a sushi burrito, spicy edamame, Philly roll and a strawberry banana smoothie! And it's always on point ! I've tried several other items on the menu such as the miso soup, chicken tenders, crab rangoon, Thai tea, California roll and the spicy seafood burrito! All in which have been fantastic! This restaurant is very clean ... Like as soon as you walk in you can smell the food and freshness of the place... Staff is always friendly! Great customer service !!! They always greet you and are stay with smiles on their faces! I love it!! The location is perfect , parking is never really an issue and I believe if you're not driving there's a train station right down the street... Call before you come because since it's in such a busy area I've seen the line out the door at times... That could also be due to covid precautions as well ... Only one or two ppl inside at a time... I tend to always order online because they have great coupons and free items if you're spending over $25, $35 and $50!! I love this spot , it's so worth it !! read more

Sunny Cafe is hands down the freshest most delicious sushi i've ever had. It is alway fresh. The service is excellent. If you are in the East Boston area you have to check it out. read more

Solid spot for the area it's in. It's about 10 minutes from my house but it's my go to spot for sushi whether I'm craving sushi rolls, a sushi burrito, or a poke bowl. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but the quality and price point is there especially since you don't have to drive into Boston for something to satisfy your craving! My favorite is their salmon burrito. The mango bits in there with a little spicy mayo and eel sauce is just perfect. read more

We came here for take-out based on Yelp reviews. As other Yelpers have mentioned, it is super tiny inside. We came in on a Sunday evening, and though we were taking out there was seating available. The prices were very reasonable ($6.50 for my roll). I ordered a spicy tuna roll and asked for regular tuna instead of the spicy, and they were able to accommodate my request. Each roll has 8 pieces, and mine was plenty for a meal. Hubby enjoyed his alligator roll, and my daughter liked her eel roll. Plenty of protein and other fillings in each, and the fish tasted fresh. Would come again! read more

Had a delicious build-your-own sushi burrito and salmon sashimi for lunch. My friend ordered a poke bowl and she loved it! The prices are cheaper compared to other sushi places and the food tasted fresh and well prepared. The portions are great, I felt full after eating half my sushi burrito but it was so tasty I had to eat the other half. The salmon sashimi tasted fresh, rich, and not fishy at all. Also ordered a yummy Thai tea for $2-$3! The cafe is small with limited seating so I recommend ordering takeout. The employees are super nice and attentive, I would definitely comeback. Sunny Cafe is a must try! read more

This place has ruined sushi for me. I ONLY WILL EAT IT FROM HERE BECAUSE ITS SO GOOD!! Anywhere else I have sushi, all I can think of is how it's not as good or affordable as the sushi here. They have the best spider rolls, BBQ eel, and actually fully cooked sweet potato rolls. This place is literally the place to go if you're on a budget and like any of the things I listed a sentence above. Staff are friendly. You can order online, there's a dollar convenience fee but if you spend over $35 ordering online you can get a free maki roll. All in all a really good spot. Also their sushi burritos are also bomb. Definitely make your own and try the combo.... places will charge you double what they charge here for less food. The quality and deliciousness can not be beat. This is the spot to go! You won't regret it read more

I've ordered a number of times from them before finding a much better spot a little further away. Sushi is fresh and the taste I would classify as, 'good to very good' level. Presentation is weak however, definitely a point of improvement for them. I hope they will pay more attention to the details of the sushi and the presentation. It looks very basic upon arrival. You can recognize the difference between sushi that's had extra attention to detail and sushi that just gets the job done. This gets the job done, but nothing fancy at all. The saving grace is that the prices are fair for what you get. I've left reviews for 2 sushi restaurants in the north shore area that are absolute rip-offs when it comes to value. This place offers Value. The sushi isn't fancy, but you aren't paying 'fancy' prices. I do recall ordering some of their appetizers and underwhelmed by the portions compared to other spots. Overall, if you're looking for decent value and freshness, this place should suffice. read more

I've been to this place three times in the past week, since it opened. It's so delicious, affordable, and the people are so nice! The last time I was in they gave me a cup of miso to try and to warm me up from the cold night; it was just about perfect. I'm hooked on the poke bowls, and am working up the self-control to branch out soon. The space is small, but much more roomy feeling than the last shop that was here made it feel. I highly recommend it for takeout. read more

Sunny Cafe - A yummy poke bowl! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

It's pretty small place, but honestly it's super nice and warm. The people there were extremely nice and the prices are the cheapest I've seen them yet! Their options for poke was pretty diverse, including fresh sushi meat. Their aesthetic was also really nice. They even gave us sample thai milk tea and miso soup because they saw we were so cold! I'm definitely coming back here as often as I can. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Great local sushi and Asian food spot. Ingredients are always fresh and tasty! Not much as far as indoor seating but they have a few chairs.

The sushi here is amazing!!! Can't say enough about how fresh and delicious everything was!! I had the poke bowl with salmon!! Delicious!! read more

I absolutely love this place! The Make Your Own poke bowl is delicious. I order one almost weekly. I used to get the teriyaki chicken and shrimp tempura with lettuce, avocado, corn, edamame, and mango (no bad taste on mine. It was always fresh). I have become vegan and they have been great at accommodating and using vegan friendly ingredients in my poke bowl. Their apps are delicious, I used to love the grab rangoon. Their rolls are really good, even the vegan ones, which I don't often enjoy. They also have a great bubble tea selection. The place is small and clean, but I usually order take out. They don't deliver, so I usually pick up or order on UberEasts. Definitely worth ordering. read more

I love this place so much! It was my mom's birthday so I ordered few sushi rolls! The staffs were so nice and friendly, they put it in a party plate for me! My mom loved it so much too!!!! Highly recommend this place read more

This place really took me by surprise!! I usually troop it to Chinatown, Medford or Everett for all things sushi and pokes but I'm happy to have found a delicious spot right next door! Their poke bowls are tasty and fresh. All while having a variety of toppings and sauces. The only thing I wish they'd have was an option for brown rice. Their chicken and pork shumais are absolutely delicious! Their sauce on the side goes so well with it. I love that their lemon Thai tea is not too sweet and is very refreshing. If you're in the area, def try them out! You won't go wrong with whatever you order. read more

I really enjoy their sushi! It's very close to my apartment, the staff is super friendly! I have only ordered sushi, but I HIGHLY recommend it here if you love sushi like me! I am a repeat customer for sure! Love this place! read more

Fantastic fresh food. Can't beat it. Delicious ingredients. Clean shop. The make your own bowl is GREAT!!

Awesome little place. Food is really fresh and tasty! The poke bowl/ burrito concepts are pretty awesome :) A+ sushi is outstanding as well!

Really great food and service everytime. Recommended the eel. There are a ton of choices on the menu too! Highly recommend

Very tasty food!! Five stars for sure! Fresh, delicious and reasonably priced! We've been ordering from Sunny Cafe for a few years now ever since we moved to the neighborhood and felt in love with this awesome little restaurant instantly! My husband and I loved everything we tried so far and feel so lucky to have this wonderful establishment near where we live! Highly recommended!! read more

Great little place! I've been driving past it for years and just tried it when I saw their menu on Uber Eats. I got a few apps and their scallion pancake wrap with tempura shrimp. Genius! I was delicious, fresh and they take care with their packaging. I'll def be coming back! read more

Amazing food! Sushi burrito, great. Poke, super tasty and something I get regularly. Fish is always really fresh

Surprisingly decent sushi spot in the neighborhood! We wanted a quick takeout meal and I was dying for sushi. Sunny did not disappoint! We had a couple rolls and they were solid. Decided this will become our go to quick takeout date night spot. read more

After a year of anticipation, this place finally opened last week. I could not wait to try a sushi burrito. I ordered the Salmon Burrito while my boyfriend tried the crab rangoons . The burrito was fresh, well made, had a generous amount of salmon, and well-worth the price of $10. The crab rangoons were also pretty darn good. The owner(s) were super friendly and I am so glad this spot is in good hands, as I knew the previous owners of the property. I will definitely be coming back weekly, as there aren't many good sushi spots in the neighborhood. And an added bonus - they serve bubble tea, which will be a huge seller come summer :) read more

I'm visiting Boston from California, and was craving poke. Found this spot on Uber Eats. I've had my share of poke bowls back at home and haven't had something quite as delicious as the Poke Bowl from Sunny Cafe. It was so full of flavor and the portion was so big! Twice as much as I'd get back home. I'm definitely stopping by Sunny Cafe on my next trip to Boston! read more

I love sushi, have had many different kinds from many different places. By far the best freshest sushi I have ever had not only delivery but even if I had had it in house. Amazing read more

Quick service, food is good. It's a great place to get a poke bowl near home, and their pricing is fair! $10 per poke bowl, you can't go wrong. I do have one recent complaint. Don't order anything with Mango. It smells like refrigerator. It has this gross aftertaste that will ruin your dinner. Definitely not fresh and when we asked them, they said that the mangos aren't fresh. I'm a big mango fan so this is a huge turn off for me. read more

This place is good. We ordered the sushi platter and it was delicious. The rolls were perfectly made. I wish they would include salad and miso soup with this platter. read more

If you enjoy poke, this is the place to go to if you're in the area. I've ordered the salmon burrito, salmon poke bowl, and made my own burritos and bowls. Everything has been so amazing that I wish I had more space in my stomach to eat more. The scallion pancakes are good too. Ordering takeout from here has always been good. The burritos come in lovely boxes "Sunny Cafe branded." I can always tell that their food is made fresh and with care, which is why this is my go-to place for poke and raw sushi. read more

We had a salmon roll, rainbow roll, shrimp roll and veggie gyoza and it was all delicious!

The teriyaki beef was gray, tough to chew and flavorless. The rice with it was also flavorless. The broccoli was overcooked and mushy.

Amazing! It seems they are fairly new, but they are doing great things with sushi in there. Everything is incredibly fresh and the sushi burrito (a new discovery) is pretty awesome. A must try if you are local or in the area. Parking is tough, but worth it. read more

The chicken burrito roll was really good and something I haven't had anywhere else. A little messy so the fork is a must for when you are finished. The teriyaki chicken bowl on the other hand was pretty disappointing, the rice had a weird taste and the chicken was really small pieces and didn't have a lot of sauce. We also went the weekend they opened, I would definitely give them another chance now that they have been open a little longer. read more

Fantastic sushi! It's unbelievable for the quality and price! So fresh, and so flavorful. This little spot is the best spot for sushi in Eastie, no doubt. From the burritos, to poke bowls, it's some of the best I've ever had. read more

I am obsessed with the poke bowls here! Everything is so fresh and tasty. Their chicken tenders are so crispy and delicious too -- but their fries.. to die for. I've been eating here since they opened! It's that good. However, I recently noticed their serving sizes getting smaller and smaller which is super saddening :/ read more

Very cute and clean space. Not super large but a few table to sit and eat. I had my first sushi burrito ever so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was fresh and flavorful. I picked tuna burrito before realizing I could build my own. Next time I'll go with that option. Staff was pleasant and my burrito came out very fast. Can't wait to try additional items from the menu. Exactly what the neighborhood needed! Sushi! read more
