The mochi and teriyaki chicken is to die forand everyone is so nice and the place is overall amazing

I have been going to this place for a couple of years and I have always had a great experience, whether I am eating out or in! The food and customer service is excellent! My favorite appetizer is the "Haru Maki" sort of vegetable spring roll. Sushi is superb! read more

This place has a great traditional Japanese atmosphere and the girl serving us was very friendly and helpful. I had the salmon curry and it was a very large portion and great! There are a lot of cool specials listed in the place that aren't listed on the take-out menu, so I suggest if you're ordering takeout maybe going in and taking a look before ordering. A guy next to me ordered the Ramen and it looked great. Definitely getting that next time. read more

The best sushi for the price in Boston. The only place that can compare is oishii sushi which is 5 times the price. And it's not even any bettet read more

I have been a very happy customer of Sushi Man for 7 or more years. I have avoided leaving a review as I want others to stay away from my favorite hole in the wall joint!! I was born in Japan and raised very much into the culture/food on my mother's side of the family. I used to go back the entire summer to Japan to visit until I was about 15 years old. Due to this, I can be quite critical of Japanese restaurants and cuisine in the US. The first time I was told about Sushi Man and visited, I saw the not-so-impressive outside of the restaurant and felt leery walking in like others have said in reviews. I am SO glad I did decide to go in that day. This is the first place in a long time that "reminds me of home". The curry they serve completely reminds me of what my mother and grandmother used to make. The beef udon is completely reminiscent of the oh-so-delicious udon I've had in my favorite udon shop in the town I was born in in Japan. Every sushi roll I've had here was so fresh and absolutely delicious. And don't get me started on the bento boxes! Great big portion and perfect! They also offer some Japanese beverages in the soda cooler including ramune soda which reminds me of all the festivals I attended in Japan as a child. Next, the owners...this is a wife and husband run eatery with the wife serving more as the hostess/waitress and the husband is the primary cook. The husband is Japanese and the wife is Taiwanese, but also speaks some Japanese with her husband as she has a well-rounded background from visiting Japan so much with him. They are the sweetest team and the wife reminds me of my grandmother from Japan in many ways. She even throws in something extra sometimes with my take-out orders like a banana or an orange or a complimentary edamame order like I feel my parent would do lol! They remember all their regular clients and make you feel really welcome every single time. I cannot say enough good things about this awesome hole-in-the-wall joint. Sure, parking isn't great (lot holds about 8 or 9 cars tops and it's shared with a Chinese restaurant) and the interior of the restaurant is tiny, a bit outdated and not fit to have many in-house diners, but when I go to a restaurant, my focus and criticism is based on the cuisine itself since I mostly always do take-out from here. You are more than welcome to stay away so you can leave that parking spot for me! read more

Sushi man was fantastic. Great quality sushi and the Japanese curry was delish. Don't be thrown off by the appearance of the building. Don't judge a book by its cover. Very small a cozy spot with good vibes. read more

Awesome place, very small but good service - friendly people. mostly a take out joint but the food is very reasonably priced for Japanese food, good quality. the Sushi bar is a big plus for lunch hours.. read more

Food here is okay, but the servers are super sweet. Its a nice little place for quiet dinner.

This place is small, but so cute!! When you walk in, there are a few two person tables, and a sushi bar where you can sit. Parking is tough, but this restaurant makes a good take out place for Sushi! I work nearby, and I can't believe that it took me so long to visit this place! The staff is incredibly kind, and they're happy to answer any questions that you have the menu. I was deciding between a eel rice dish or a bowl of beef udon. With the help of the waitress, she recommended the beef udon, and I was happy I chose it! The portion was HUGE for the bowl of udon. I could hardly finish it, but it definitely was worth the price. They also had Ice cream mochi ($1 each!). In all, for such a small place, they serve great food! I can't wait to come back and try their sushi~ read more

I had lunch here today and had a very good sushi roll. It had tuna and avocado and was rolled with a slightly sweet sticky rice that I found to be very tasty. I tried the tuna with some spicy on it and I liked that one too. It was refreshing to taste the soup too. It was frothy but not to salty. The service was pleasant and the restaurant was clean. It is not really up styled inside but it was pleasant like I said. Kind of fast food sushi environment.I would go back at some time. read more

Best hole in the wall sushi joint I've been to! The portions are huge and so fresh. Great lunch specials. The lady who works the front is super sweet and has a great sense of humor. read more

Wife and I really enjoy Sushi Man. Friendly owners, a good selection of sushi, and very accommodating for my wife's birthday when we basically took over the restaurant. We eat here about twice a month, so I'm hoping they bring in some new specials, but that's the tax for being a regular. This is a great, inexpensive place to get good sushi from good people. read more

Great sushi Great Service I stop by every time im near by Thanks Mary G read more

The worse sushi experience in my life!! The fish wasn't fresh, the rolls were falling apart like the cook prepared them for the first time in his life. Terrible read more

Maybe it was a rough night for the kitchen but the gyoza was deep fried and very greasy, the sushi was extremely heavy on the rice and was not as fresh as it should be. Very nice staff and little dining room though! read more

The most underrated sushi/izakaya bar in Boston. We had an off the menu omakase course for 2 for $50 that left us so full. The sushi were fresh and the cuts were generous! Very friendly husband and wife chef team! read more

Sorry to be negative, but I did not find the sushi good here. I've never had spicy tuna made the way they do. It did not seem fresh and extremely mushy. We had several different kinds of sushi and they were not well rolled. Very easily falling apart. My cousin who I went with has had an upset stomach since we left. read more

You would be hard pressed to find better quality raw fish served by any Japanese restaurant in Metrowest. This is a small restaurant; so not a good place for large group sit down meals. But for singles, couples and small groups of friends, this is a really good place to enjoy a good meal. Best value is their lunch specials. Everything I've had here is of good quality; so, you get what you pay for. read more

This place is great, I lived in the area for a while and when I moved out I've always tried to find a new go to sushi place but never found one I liked as much as sushi man. I'm not a foodie or food blogger or a yelper for that matter so I'm not going to try and describe too much but I love that the rolls are a little larger and not as compressed as other restaurants. read more

Sushi Man is an absolute delight. Very good prices coupled with a reasonably inventive menu. The restaurant is in dire need of a professional interior designer, but then it might lose some of its "homeyness" which is part of its charm. The parking might be a problem at certain peak times, but then I tend to grab takeout most of the time. read more

This sushi is always really fresh, and the prices are really reasonable. The owners are always behind the counter, and service is fast and friendly. Whenever I've eaten there I've sat at the counter, where they have a selection of Japanese beer available. They start off your meal with complimentary edamame when you eat there, and finish it off with an orange. They've been willing to customize the maki rolls a bit for us, too. I like 'em super spicy! It is pretty small inside, so I wouldn't recommend it for large groups. Perfect for a casual date night, though! read more

I've lived up the street from Sushi Man for almost a year and never tried it until tonight. Now it will be my go-to place for sure. It is no-frills; if aesthetics are important to you, you're probably better off at another place. But it meets my criteria: - Tasty - Good value for the money (important when feeding two hungry boys) - A "choose your own combo" option I've never seen anywhere else (important when you can't have shellfish) read more

I was leery of this place because it's not all fancy and modern. But someone told me it was good so I tried it. I loved it! We all loved it. Great food and selections. and wine! My local sushi place isn't seeing me as often because I am always going here. read more

I have been going here for 15 years and get takeout from here at least once a month. Everyone loooooves food from this place. Their scallop maki (venus) is amazing. There is a review that says they put too much fish in the rolls. What does that even mean?? The rolls have plenty of fish and flavor. The service is great - dont let the whole in the wall first impression fool ya! Monster roll, not on the menu, is also great and can feed an army. Great prices and great taste. Not to mention the owners who are always there and the lady is the sweetest. They go above and beyond to make their customers happy. Great lil place! read more

Very good quality sushi, sashimi, udon, and so on (reasonably priced too). I highly recommend this place!

My wife's fav sushi place - so many memories here. Sushi man is fun and a great value and they have the greatest tempora!!!

Honestly haven't been here since high school ( about 500 years ago) and this place is awesome now! Great sushi, friendly staff .. and great prices! Check it out you won't be disappointed read more

they made us wait over an hour for the food, and didn't apologize, just dumped the food and turned around, this is the manager mind you. then when we asked if this is the usual to wait an hour for food, the manager made no apology. what a jerk! this place has been here for years, still a hole in the wall, no wonder it can't grow. what a horrible experience read more

Great sushi options and fresh. I was surprised that I could have such nice sushi here, at a place otherwise would not catch my attention. Thanks to my friend who brought me here. read more

may be for ordering takeout its a good place but dont even think seating inside - dated, old, unclean and smelly place, they long time overdue for a good full staff 48 hrs clean up with walls repaint at minimum. read more

The people who own this restaurant are wonderful and sweet, BUT when we're talking strictly sushi, this is not the place I think of when I want some. They do spicy tuna really well, which is what I stick to if the group I'm with takes me here. This is the type of place to get maki- skip the nigiri and/or sashimi because the cuts and quality of fish are not the best...don't get me wrong, I've never gotten food poisoning from here, but the straight up fish is not delicious. read more

Really small place but so many options. no matter what you like, you can always find the right one. My favorate is the small octopus and sushi roll. I've brought so many friends here and we all love it. It's just everything is small portion read more

The sushi here isn't exceptional, not great, it's not even good. It's mediocre at best. Just picked up a lunch special to go. At twelve bucks for a california roll and 6pc nigiri, it's not cheap. But whatever, that's what normal non-budget sushi restaurant charge. It's the quality that I found offensive. I see some of the other reviewers said the quality was outstanding. If what they got was really that good, then this place is at best inconsistent. I eat a lot of sushi and I know good quality. This is not it. Here's what I found: the fish pieces were large, that part is true and i like that generally. Here they were way too thick for the amount of rice that came with them. It was almost impossible to pick up a piece with your chopstic without the fish separating from the rice. The rice was stick-to-your teeth hard, but not so much as to have a hard center. The rice was definitely not pressed. Every piece falls apart as you pick it up. The California roll was simiarly not tightly packed, and very uneven. The sesame seeds didn't look like they were toasted. And, what amazed me, every piece look uneven, almost like every piece was the end piece of the roll. The cucumber inside was one large crunchy chunk, instead of smaller strands like it's supposed to be. Wasabi was packed in such a way that it got on everything next to it. The whole ting is really disappointing. I've had worse, but not often. This is even worse than supermarket sushi. I'd stay away from this sushi place and go to Oishi instead, just down the road. I guess if you're not too picky or don't know good sushi from bad, by all means go ahead, you might even enjoy it. read more

The fish portion is very generous in their sushi. They offer you a warm hand towel, which I always enjoy. The sashimi salad has a great abundance of seafood for a good price. The sushi chef is friendly and eager to please. I order the caterpillar roll every time I go, and I think it is the best thing in the city! The only issue with this restaurant is their location, it could be closer to the city. There is also a limit of parking, but great overall! read more

I need to admit that I have cheated on my Man of Sushi since I wrote my first review. I regret every indiscretion and was always thinking about Sushi Man when I was paying too much at snobby sushi places. Since my return, I've discovered a new roll: the Venus Roll (thanks to the recommendation of an employee there). Scallops and spicy mayo... If you don't like scallops cooked, you will love this! Raw scallops are kind of a gross concept and if you've ever cooked scallops, the texture of raw scallops can be unappetizing. But do not fear! The scallops have a very unique flavor, not fishy at all. It's difficult to describe so you must experience it for yourself. Next time I go, I'm going to attempt to BYOB... It looks like a lot of other reviewers have BYOB'd and it's been successful. I'm always skeptical but if this is true, I will love Sushi Man even more than before! read more

This place should be closed down by the Board of Health!!! The first time I went there I thought the food was Ok but not impressive, I chalked it up to be the fact that they were about to close. I tried it again for takeout A few weeks later and thought it was decent with the exception of the scallop maki that I disliked and the Maki was poorly rolled and falling apart. I went in again and at sat at the sushi bar to my surprise/disgust, I noticed MOLD growing in the fish case as well as something that looked like a science experiment growing on the track of the case. The more I looked around the more filth I saw, there was food stuck to the wall that appeared to have been there for some time, I gathered that from the dust that was stuck to it. Upon leaving I saw some dead bugs in the window! This place is just nasty and I will not be back!! read more

It's a secret but wonderful restaurant. There're not many people. But I can say they have the best ramen around Boston Area. Also, they offer Tako Yaki - wheat ball with octopus, which is my favorite. People there are really nice. Strongly Recommend!!! read more

Okay Parking Sucks. check. Decore not great. check. Service is awesome. The food has always been very good and tasty. I love the cold baby octopus. My little girls double fist the udon noodles and brown rice into their mouths. One of our favorite places. read more

Little hole in the wall, empty on a Sunday, but close to first-rate. Baby octopus, mmm. It's not MaSoba, but so what. What a nice find on the way home on route 9. Okay value pricing too. read more

The place is next to a Chinese take-out and has a creative selection of rolls. My only complaint is the rolls and sushi are way big! Might not be the most authentic joint but the price is reasonable and kwik service. read more
