Great service and super clean inside. They have great lunch deals and their fish is always super fresh.

I've been to Symphony Sushi many times, and this one was a bit sub-par due to the server, who was slow and got an order wrong...twice. My friend and I arrived on time for our reservation (great addition, Symphony Sushi! Didn't used to take reservations) and ordered drinks and appetizers. I had my regular, shrimp and vegetable tempura, which was perfect--light and crispy coating on the outside, tasty on the inside. My friend's experience was a different story. Her appetizer was the Geisha Maki which she took great pains to order with the spicy sauce on the side. She explained it several times but apparently the server didn't get it because it came with the sauce, which my friend couldn't eat. The server reluctantly took it back and quite some time later returned it... with the wrong sauce withheld (there were two toppings). My friend wound up scraping it off. For her meal she ordered the Sushi Pizza, which she orders most times we go. After waiting some time she observed it ready to be delivered and after a bit she stood up to ask the server to pick it up, which she did. Symphony Sushi is usually a staple and as the closest full-service restaurant near Symphony Hall, a go-to before a performance. We will return but with some trepidation.

This is a great neighborhood spot. The sushi is so fresh and they have great lunch specials, even on Saturday. I always get the spicy salmon roll- best I've had- and the Alaskan roll. The service is friendly and quick and the space is clean. Will be back!

Their lunch salmon teriyaki bento is amazing. Comes with 2 California rolls and some meat balls on a stick, salad, edamame, a nice piece salmon teriyaki on a bed of warm rice and a side of miso soup. Price just went up lately to 16 dollars excluding tax and tip which is not bad. A steep increase from previously. Still a nice value and a great amount of food. Recommend it. Service was friendly and the ambiance is a nice sit down place. Clean interior. read more

Symphony Sushi remains a neighborhood staple. A perfect choice before attending a show at the nearby Huntington Theatre. My party found the food fresh and the servings generous. I don't eat pork and had beef and chicken options. I went with the beef dumpling soup and Crazy Maki. My friend found the pork belly bun scrumptious, but was so filling she couldn't quite finish her salmon sushi combo. The butter ramen topped with chashu pork, ordered by the third person in our party, found it rich and buttery... exactly as described. We went late afternoon, so while there was a robust take out business, we did not have to wait for table service. Our server was pleasant and well versed on the menu offerings. Dine in business picked up as we were leaving. Decor is simple Japanese motif. Temperature was comfortable. Space was clean. read more

Good quality food for reasonable prices and steps away from Symphony Hall where you can grab a bite before or after a concert or nearby event. Service was quick and courteous, not intrusive but our water was also filled. Sushi is solid, but will not knock your socks off. Affordable place to take care of a sushi craving.

Got the Hawaii roll which had rice paper around spicy salmon and then also had the crazy salmon. That one sometimes masked the flavors of the fish. The sashimi dinner was decent but the tuna wasn't as tasty as I would have liked it to be. Salmon fried rice was a bit oily, and the miso soup was overly salted. read more

My friend and I were disappointed with our food. We both got a teriyaki dish -- I got the chicken and she got the salmon. No raves at all from either one of us. The chicken especially was so underwhelming. It was strips of dry chicken laid out on a bed of bean sprouts and a little bit of corn. There was zero flavor to the chicken and I don't know why they used the word teriyaki because I didn't detect any. I should have said something and asked for some sauce but the wait staff wasn't particularly friendly. This dish also included a side bowl of white sticky rice but that, of course, could not enhance what was already a very dry meal. To top it off they put the air conditioning on halfway through our dinner. It was a cold November evening. It had been cozy when we arrived only to turn uncomfortable. I mentioned it to a staff member but nothing changed. read more

Symphony Sushi is a reliable way to satisfy a sushi craving. I've gotten their spicy combo countless times over the past year or so, and I also really enjoy their sushi lunch specials (I liked the salmon one.) They have yummy appetizers like the yellowtail carpaccio, miso eggplant, and karaage, and some of the other reliably good rolls include their crazy maki and fire maki. I was pleasantly surprised by the yellow fin maki--the mango wasn't weird or overpowering at all. The people at Symphony Sushi are always really nice whenever I go to pick up an order, and I'd highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The space is cozy yet lively, giving you room to relax and enjoy your meal. The menu is robust -- so many choices my guests had trouble deciding! Zaku gave great food, great service, and a great experience. I'll absolutely be back.

It had me wondering if they run this deal on Sundays when the fish is ready to be discarded soon. I won't be returning. For a spot on Newbury street it was surprising. It felt more like something you would find next to a college where students are seeking a cheap and easy sushi meal. $200 for two people with tip. It was not worth it. Not coming back. So many other great spots for sushi and at this price point I want better quality

I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

But we already had like 3 dinners planned that night lol so this was more like a "stop by and eat as much oysters as possible" situation. Honestly I'm pretty sure the other food here is just as good, based on what I saw on other tables. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Boston.

From start to finish, we had an amazing experience here. We ate here on Sunday. They open at 11:30am. We got in line around 11:00 am, and there were already dozens of people waiting in line for them to open . Around opening time, the owner came out and personally greeted everyone as they came into the restaurant. He was so friendly. He greeted passers-by on the street and talked with the locals. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. They provided recommendations and offered suggestions. We sat at a window table and were able to see out at the boats. It was cute and quaint inside! I got a cup of the clam chowder. I 100% recommend it! They add dill and omit the pork, which made it so delicious! My friend and I split the fish and chips, and it was more than enough for two people. The fish was cooked perfectly and the fries (chips) were crispy without being too crunchy. We added a bit of pepper to our fish, and my goodness does that make a difference. If you visit Boston, want an awesome local establishment with delicious food and overly friendly staff, this is the place for you. This was my third visit to Boston and I'm so sad I didn't know about it sooner. It's a MUST.

Boston Sail Loft was a great send-off restaurant to end our Boston trip. Thanks again to our new friends from Boston for the recommendation. Our server gave me useful info on the local beers.

The little complimentary touches at the beginning and end made it feel special. Will be back.

I LOVE this place! I live nearby, and its cheaper (not the cheapest) then some of the other awesome sushi places in boston. Sometimes there is a wait, but I've never had to wait longer than 30 minutes for a table even on the weekends. The beef gyozas are to die for (fried, not steamed), and the miso soup is an awesome way to warm up on a freezing winter day. I've been coming to this place for years, ever since I moved to Boston. I've tried a variety of the rolls and have never really been disappointed with any of them...my favorite is tekka maki (I know, one of the simplest rolls) but the dragon roll, Christmas roll, and spicy tuna tempura are all amazing. Sometimes the service isn't great, and its hard to get my water glass refilled which can get annoying. But that's about the only complaint I have here. I don't recommend the take out as much, as the rolls (some of them) can get soggy. read more

Horrible attitude. 1. Lunch special bento box takes more than 30 min to serve 2. When checking out, they only give u one pen. When I asked for the second pen, the waitress first said "you can use his pen" with bad attitude, then I said we are in a rush, so she throw a pen to me with angry. WTF?! 3. Charged me more than I wrote on the recipe. I don't like the attitude so I only give nearly 15% of the tip. However when I checked my bill, they changed it to 15%. Going to report them read more

Love this place - awesome sushi, great price, nice servers. Excellent variety (in my opinion, I mean I'm not a sushi guru but I think I know good sushi). Also can't go without having the beef gyoza... Love christmas maki, spicy tuna tempora, tekka maki... basically anything. and Miso soup too for cheap... Sometimes there is a wait, but i've never waited longer then 20 minutes for a table... place is clean and modern. Efficient kitchen and wait staff. read more

This sushi restaurant offers a solid dining experience with a good variety of rolls, sashimi, and classic Japanese dishes. The fish is generally fresh, and the presentation is clean and appealing. Popular rolls like the California and spicy tuna are reliable, and there are usually some creative specials on the menu as well.
