A pretty sizeable sushi restaurant on Boylston Street. It's dimly lit and there are other colored light strategically placed in plants and other spots. The Thai tea looked bright red until I realized it was just the lighting. The place is big which is nice. Plenty of seating. They offer a list of handrolls which can be sampled for $5 each or 3 for $10. They're pretty average but if you want to eat cheap, 6 handrolls for $20 isn't bad. The more upscale selections, for more money, include Toro and uni combos and a tuna with jalapeño and dried shallots... that one was my favorite. Recommend it. Their sushi rice is on point though. Really well prepared. Service was friendly. Overall, it was decent. It sits somewhere in the middle.. not being particularly cheap if that is what you want and not being high end with better ingredients. The Nigiri were a bit hacked up but still tasted good. Not bad at all and if you're in the area, it's worth a stop. I have so many go to sushi places on my short list, but this won't be added since it kind of doesn't fill a niche for me. read more

We were in the area and were looking for a quick & easy lunch. We saw the signs outside for 3 hand rolls for $10 and we were sold! We ended up getting 6 hand rolls each, with a total of 12 handrolls. The handrolls are pretty small. If you've been to some of the handroll spots in the city such as Matsunori, Mai, Nori nori, etc, these are much SMALLER but I did like that they kept the rice minimal! Note: if you're not a fan of wasabi, they do put wasabi + very salty soy sauce inside the roll w/ the rice which isn't noted on the menu. I personally love wasabi though! We had asked for some soy sauce since we didn't know they put both soy sauce + wasabi in the handrolls lol. I think that the 3 rolls/$10 is a great deal. Quality of fish is not bad. Handrolls we got: - Alaska (salmon + avocado) -hamachi (3) - spicy tuna (2) -spicy yellowtail (2) -spicy salmon -eel - baked salmon (2) I would definitely come back for the handroll deal but would avoid getting the fried calamari. It took the longest to arrive to the table & we believe it was just frozen calamari that they dressed up slightly. The rings had no squid flavor or texture & made me question if it even had squid inside or just fried batter LOL. Wouldn't recommend the fried calamari. read more

" Drinks for friend's birthday, tropical dream " We had a great tropical drink experience here . They cut open a coconut, pineapple or whatever fruit you choose from the drink menu . They blend up the drink and put it in the fruit , the pictures are below . Incase my explanation doesn't get your mind spinning , lol. The vibe this time around was comfortable, friendly and warm . Parking is difficult but manageable. The prices are reasonable for the area , quality and portion size . read more

Went late on a Sunday to grab drinks and hopefully a quick bite; the kitchen was open luckily, we got seated quickly and had to order quickly. I went for 2 sushi rolls and the mango sticky rice drink. The sushi was delicious the drink was a little harsh for my taste. Overall solid place for sushi with a full bar read more

We had a bad experience here. The food overall is 3 stars - my lunch nigiri bowl was very skimpy and the fish was poorly cut. The flavors were barely there and I left hungry. My friend liked the lemon grass chicken. The spicy sushi roll was mostly bright orange mayonnaise. What really killed us was that my husband ordered toro nigiri along with some other sushi. We eat toro frequently, the king of tuna, and it is always decadent and appetizing. What my husband received was a thick, shapeless, crooked, grey lump over rice. It was the color of boiled beef tendon and NO FISH looks like that. I wish I'd taken a photo. We asked them to remove it from the plate (they didn't apologize or acknowledge how unacceptable this was - how could a sushi chef even plate that?!), and my husband was so put off by the experience that he couldn't eat the rest of the meal. Thankfully they recognized this and didn't charge us for his portion. The cocktails were fine. I would definitely not return and don't understand how they're still in business in such a high traffic area by Newbury St with many good options. read more

We've been going here for years, particularly because their white sangrias are definitely something to write home about (and I literally have). The sushi had always been good, but maybe not amazing. The most recent time I went for food I noticed some of their dishes (namely calamari and spicy tuna crispy rice) have slightly changed which I didn't love, but, again their sangria and maybe a side of sashimi is enough to bring me back every time. We've been enough for staff to recognize us (yes, that's slightly embarrassing) but they're so kind! Even offered us a shot on the house when we were celebrating a birthday! I particularly love it here when it's warm in Boston because you can sit in the patio and enjoy? Copley, but even other months if you want a quiet casual place to grab a drink in that area you'll definitely be satisfied. read more

Terrible restaurant. The manager and the stuff were unprofessional. We waited more than 50 minutes to get our order

Came here for a night cap and small bite after a night out. Espresso martinis aren't on the menu, but the restaurant was happy to make them for us. The food was really good -- I got a vegan roll and futo roll. The server was friendly and attentive. The decor inside is beautiful & well-lit at night, and the front patio is great too. Highly recommend. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times the sushi and service have been exceptional. The restaurant had a nice quiet atmosphere and the servers are always quick and attentive. The sushi is fresh, great tasting, and perfectly portioned. It's everything I look for in a simple when enjoyable dining experience. I'll be going back very soon! read more

definitely order the mango sticky rice drink!! so good!!! went here with my girls and we stayed 3.5 hours just vibing

I really wanted sushi and the place had good reviews and it was walkable from where I was staying plus the menu had squid. Squid is my favorite and not many places have it on the menu. Well they ran out of squid and I should have left at that point. So I order the sashimi sampler. The fish tasted ok not the best but I like to bite it in half when I eat and that wasn't possible. So not great fish. The back bay roll had avocado in it and it was so brown. At this point I didn't want to order anything else. Our waitress was very quite and gave us a dirty look when we were leaving. The place didn't have many people and some just came in for a drink and left. read more

This is a great restaurant we sat outside. There was a beautiful ambience. He felt very separated from the road.

I thoroughly enjoyed this place. Very broad menu, great service, reasonable prices, and a nice patio. I had the spicy seafood pasta (a mix of seafood and a couple mussels on a bed of fettuccini, very well seasoned), and it was extremely good. Highly recommend. read more

This place is a freaking GEM!!. my partner and I went on a date, reservation just walked in and we were seated at the table. Beautiful view btw. The waitress was so wonderful; she helped us customize the menu to a liking give some suggestions that were very helpful. The cook was great as well; that was service came and check on us like 8 times. The chef suggested I chose a different base for my hot meal since the one I had chosen maybe too overwhelming; I went with her suggestion and loved it. I am not one to do desert or write long reviews but I feel compelled to do this due the amazing service we had. read more

Typhoon Asian Bistro is located right on Boylston Street just over a block away from the Copley Square T Station. My order was ready for pick up. Sushi Burrito $13 Big sushi roll with lettuce, avocado, gobo, kanikama, sesame seeds, tangy kabayaki sauce with your choice of protein (Shrimp Tempura!) Unagi Buns $10 two pieces, broiled eel, cucumber, oshinko, yama-gobo, kabayaki, and steamed rice buns The shrimp used in my sushi burrito were about pencil thin, so definitely not one of those shrimp cocktail sized creatures. However crab surimi filled in the role of meat in the burrito. I did however think I spotted (and tasted) a bit of wasabi tucked in the burrito. The steamed buns were filled with a colorful hodgepodge of matchstick vegetables and TWO slices of eel apiece. What more can you ask for? Though I think I prefer this style of consumption filled with a meatier choice of protein... 3.5 stars read more

I ordered takeout here for me and my boyfriend on a weeknight. Overall, the experience was pretty average. We both ordered teriyaki bowls (chicken for him and tofu/veggie for me). His chicken bowl was "mediocre" and nothing to rave about. The tofu in my bowl was pretty dry, and I was disappointed to see that the veggies were mostly mushrooms & asparagus stems (not many tops). The sauces on both bowls were just okay. Portion sizes were slightly below expected: it's about the size of a Panda Express bowl if you're familiar with that. Pickup was quick and easy, but the meals were SO pricy for what we got. Between the mediocrity and the cost, I wouldn't come again. read more

Pineapple royal drink was phenomenal. Hidden Gem in the back Bay, loved the drinks. Thanks to the staff and bartender for a great evening

This was a really nice and chic dinner spot. The restaurant wasn't crowded so service was prompt and great! The staff was very helpful and fast with bringing out the food. The calamari was crispy and different but very yummy. I loved the seafood bruschetta, which had crab meat. The scallops were very good and came out still on fire. The mushrooms sauteed with the scallops were very savory. It was a really cute spot to grab appetizers for a fast dinner. read more

Two stars for location and atmosphere. Service was INCREDIBLY slow (the restaurant was basically empty) and food was mediocre. I recommend skipping this one. read more

I was hesitant to try this spot and wasn't extremely impressed after I made a friend visit with me. I LOVE creme brûlée cheesecake so I think that's what really pulled me in but it was $9 for this tiny slice and it wasn't even memorable. There seemed to be fruit flies hanging around the plants near where we were sat which was kind of annoying too. Seafood bruschetta was okay... best thing about the trip here was the sake and the server was extremely nice but I won't be back anytime soon. read more

We went here on a Groupon and were happily surprised how good the experience was. The ambiance was very relaxing; we never felt rushed. We started with the Shrimp Rangoon which was well prepared and not greasy, with an amazing chili sauce. For entrees I had the Pad Thai, which was very good but not in the top 5 I have had and Lesly had the Chicken Thai Curry which was very flavorful without being ti spicy, I did order one mixed cocktail which was pretty pricy so heed that warning and maybe stick a nice beer or a glass of wine. read more

As others mentioned the service was on the slower side but they are traditional and we Americans are incredibly impatient. I'm not a sushi expert but both me and my girlfriend liked the 3 rolls we got. The tempura Philly was absolutely delicious I'll be going back for that one. Ambiance was very chill and laid back. read more

Came here with family for Masters celebration. Our waitress was very sweet and nice as well as the other lady addressing customers. I highly recommend the salmon teriyaki. A generous amount of salmon cooked beautifully on top of fresh steamed rice with a delightful homemade teriyaki sauce. I requested extra teriyaki sauce and they were kind enough to bring it fresh and warm for me. ^_^ Other members of my party had pork dumplings, miso soup, and a grilled chicken teriyaki dish. No complaints from the whole group. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience Typhoon! read more

Came here with a few friends who was craving sushi for dinner. After some casual day drinking and catching up we needed a place for a late dinner. They close at 1 AM. As we got there at 10 o'clock there was a decent rush around 1130 midnight. We all ordered the sushi which was delicious and super fresh. Drinks for a little bit on the sugar side so I stopped at two. Great amendment was I was able to switch to Jen instead of vodka for the wakikki drink read more

This place was great! They have an extensive menu of sushi and other Asian foods. The sushi entrees are close to $20 but you get a large portion, you could probably split it between 2 people. They also have smaller rolls for less than $10. And the sushi was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The baked salmon maki is way better than any place in the area, including nearby towns. Also try the peppery steak as it simmers on the hot plate, spicy but tasty and juicy. Save room for desserts. The fried green tea ice-cream is perfect. The breading is just right, and the chocolate sauce adds more flavor to the crunchy skin. Fresh cappuccino! I saw coffee beans floating on the foam as garnish.. Last time seeing this was in Rio del Palazzo, Venezia. Great place to hang out with classy people. Leave your jeans-lover friends at home. Bring the suits and ties here! read more
