The neighborhood sushi place in Belmont…read more Is this sushi at a shack on the fishing pier where the fish comes straight off the boat and on to your table with just enough of a pause for the chef to slice things up? No. Is this sushi from the latest Peruvian-Aegean fusion chef whose re-imagination of Northeastern Asian raw dishes is likely to win him a Michelin star? No. Is this sushi for Thursday night when you have a craving for sushi and don't feel like driving into Boston? Yes. The sushi is just fine. No complaints from this Yelper.

From what I can tell, this used to be Gen Sushi and was nearby. I've only gotten takeout. The menu…read moreis extensive and creative. The food was very fresh. I got the sushi pizza. I know it is a weird food and not a way to judge a sushi restaurant. But I really enjoyed it. I also ordered their seaweed salad, and I have never seen such a generous portion. The Poké bowl also had generous portions and it is great that they offer a choice of white rice, brown rice, or lettuce as the base. I will go back again.

A bit disappointed in them being out of two staple items on a Saturday, when the place was pretty empty. Oh well. Not bad. Not great. Only ordered sushi. Seems like we should have ordered some cooked dishes. I regret not trying a Chinese dish. As far as sushi goes, this wouldn't be my go to, with some awesome choices very close by. Service was OK. They decided to give us wine that had been opened at least the day before, if not longer. We sent it back. At least they acknowledged it was opened previously. The interior is dated. In the winter, when people come in or out, there is a massive blast of cold air.

We were considering a few different omakase spots in Boston for our anniversary and I'm really glad we went here instead. The intimate 6-person bar set up allowed conversation to flow and chatting with the chef was a really cool experience. Every bite was SO good and thoughtful. I'm a bit lost for words trying to describe it, and I already want to go back!

Kudos for creativity and the relaxed and intimate ambiance. One issue is that with only one chef…read more(and no assistants) running the whole show, the fish is not cut to order but rather sliced prior to service and left on the counter at room temperature for the entire 2 hr service. This causes the fish to lose some of its pristine texture and moisture and become slightly mealy or mushy (the exception being the fattier fish such as the sanma). I found this distracting and felt it detracted from the overall experience. The sujiko and wagyu were highlights.

Updated review, the seventh stop on my "Eat the Distance!" tour!…read more Daikanyama has become something of a local establishment for us and so far maintains the title of freshest sushi (and the uni e.g. really is exquisitely fresh) within the Lexington area. Of course this sentiment may be amended in future but for now remains. Service is predictably superb and quick which, paired with the clean modern interior, sets Daikanyama apart as a relaxing almost restful interval. Tastefully done, and I'm grateful to have you so nearby. Can't wait to sample your omakase!

Best item we got was the blistered edamame. So good we found a recipe so we can make it at home. The other food, the udon soup, the shrimp dish, the sushi, it was all fine. Nothing really wrong with anything but for the prices it should have been fabulous and it just wasn't. The portions were really small. You can see in the pictures.
