Handful of patrons at the bar and tables. 5 sushi chefs so the food came out super quick, but the service was pretty poor. Had to proactively ask for food/drinks and was never checked on. Tuna tartare was the most disappointing I've ever had and the bar tender didn't notice that I left half of it on the plate. Lychee martini was beautiful but the taste was lackluster. Hamachi crudo and nigiri were excellent. But very little substance for a very high price tag with disappointing service.

It did not disappoint. Firstly, it's a nice chic modern sushi bar with a wonderful, friendly host and friendly staff. The food was incredible. We selected the NOHRI 8 Tasting. Just seemed the most practical since it was our first time here and if you are novices about this sushi style. We started with the halibut soup, which was so flavorful. The cucumber salad which was spicy. And then it was down to the hand rolls. My favorite the Hokkaido scallop and the spicy salmon! The Chawanmushi was a nice closing to the meal with the Jonas crab on top! Very flavorful and very light. Our meal was accompanied with both Sapporo beer and Peruvian beer too. Very nice staff and I really enjoyed talking to the chef and his story and all I can say this was a wonderful experience. I really appreciate the owner's hospitality as we sampled a complimentary tuna roll and tartare too. Also, thank you for the soothing complimentary sake. What amazed me about this experience is the creativity. I have dined Peruvian fusion before, but honestly never in Sushi. I will say that if you like like spice and sushi, this is simply your place. I cannot wait to come back again to have more experience and I was I delighted to have a chef table seating on a Saturday night as we grabbed the last seating.

This is the easiest five star review I've written in a while!…read more Nohri is a small, but thoughtfully designed space. The menu is creative and fuses Japanese with Peruvian flavors and good god, it works well! The service was exceptional. Every staff member was genuine and engaging outside of order taking. I started with the salmon tiradito and omg, delicious. The passion fruit sauce was dotted with chili oil and the dish was spectacular. I also ordered a spicy salmon and a spicy tuna hand roll. Followed by another spicy tuna hand roll because the first one was just so good. I've already recommended this restaurant to others and I can't wait to come back!

The photos I have attached would provide folks with a better idea of their alcohol selection (doesn't hurt they have bottles of Salon nearby). No photos of the individual omakasa since I (and you) would want to enjoy the eating experience without any distractions. The food is always inventive and delicious with ever changing taste as you are chewing it at first, a few seconds in, and the lingering taste... BE FOREWARNED, it is not your traditional omakasa with unadulterated fish, each piece is enhanced with whatever ingredients to highlight that fish. So if you are looking for just plain old sashimi, don't come here. Service is always excellent and friendly. Definitely worth the splurge if you can afford it. Truly do not understand why Michelin did not give them one star this year, but oh well...

Honestly, even with the high expectations from our first visit, it still holds up as the best meal you can get in Boston. I know Michelin recently passed them over for stars but that feels like a massive oversight on their part because the consistency here is wild. We went with the omakase and the beverage pairings again. Our server mentioned they started measuring the pours now, which is fine by me because last time they were heavy handed! The selection is spot on and actually adds value to the meal rather than just being an afterthought. The vibe inside is great because it lacks that stiff, white tablecloth energy you usually get at this price point. It is lively and loud in a way that feels intentional. The food isn't your traditional purist sushi. They play with flavors and textures that shouldn't work but somehow always do. We actually ended up adding the potato chip nigiri as a supplement because it was a highlight of our first trip and we couldn't stop thinking about it. My only real warning is that at twenty plus courses, it is a massive amount of food. I was struggling to finish the last couple of bites. Definitely skip lunch or just fast for the day so you can actually appreciate the final rounds. It is expensive but not out of the realm of other omakase in Boston and for a special occasion I haven't found anywhere else that competes.

I first asked to see the menu and the hostess did an excellent job explaining the three connected restaurants/experiences. She explained that the Korean place was closed for an event and that may limit the menu which I found helpful. She sat me at a table as I waited for my friend. Our server Bobby was very helpful and attentive. When my friend arrived, we ordered the Chan Chan and the Yellow Submarine. It was delicious.

Sushi @ Temple Records is a two-level sushi spot that feels more like a listening room experience…read morethan a traditional Japanese restaurant. We walked into a space split between an upstairs vinyl-driven lounge and a downstairs sushi bar, and the contrast between the two made the whole visit feel intentional from the moment we arrived. The downstairs in particular had a quiet, intimate setup where the focus shifted fully to the counter and what was happening in front of the chef, with the lighting and seating arranged to keep the attention on the food rather than the surroundings. The sushi itself is clearly built around quality and technique rather than volume. We ordered a few pieces and found the rice standing out immediately with a really clean texture that held each piece together without overpowering the fish. The omakase-style pacing felt structured, with each piece served one at a time so we could actually notice the progression of flavors instead of everything arriving at once. The fish selection leaned fresh and high-end, with a focus on balance rather than heavy sauces or overly complex rolls. The flavors were clean and refined, and the simplicity of each piece allowed the quality of the seafood to come through clearly. The upstairs space added a different layer to the experience, with vinyl playing and a more lounge-like atmosphere that felt separate from the sushi bar energy. It made the restaurant feel like it could shift between a social hangout and a focused dining experience depending on where we were seated. The soundtrack and lighting gave it a slightly modern, curated feel without taking away from the food being the main focus downstairs. We took a moment to browse the record collection before the meal, and the connection between the two spaces felt intentional rather than gimmicky. The main thing to keep in mind is that this is not a large-portion, casual sushi spot. The pricing sits on the higher end, and the meal is more about the experience and quality than getting full quickly. Service was smooth and the pacing was controlled, but it did feel designed for a slower, more intentional meal rather than something quick. The staff moved through the counter with precision, and the rhythm of the courses kept the meal engaging without feeling rushed. Overall, it worked best when we leaned into the atmosphere, the vinyl-driven concept, and the omakase flow instead of expecting a traditional sushi dinner format.

From the moment our group walked in, we were greeted by both the waitstaff and the chefs, and we felt very welcome (and they all interacted with us the entire dinner). The decor in the restaurant is upscale and classy, the lighting is warm, and the music sets a nice vibe for the restaurant. Sitting at the chef's counter gives you a unique experience to watch the chefs prepare the entire tasting menu (and, unlike some other places, they prepare it behind the entire length of the counter, so there's not one "best" spot to sit/watch). The tasting menu was 16-courses. Some courses were basic/standard (but still delicious), some were extremely creative with flavors and presentation (it was a first for me, having prosciutto at omakase), and others were completely new elements I hadn't tasted before. For example, I had never tried "Anago"- saltwater eel; I didn't realize I usually eat "Unagi"- farmed eel. The taste and texture are completely different!! All of the fish was extremely fresh, and was so soft it melted in your mouth. Several dishes were "different" from what you'd normally see at an omakase restaurant, but really phenomenal. The entire staff was extremely friendly and really made our experience amazing. This was a stand-out for us, very memorable, so thank you for that! Exceptional omakase experience, I would definitely expect it to have a Michelin star in the near future.
