"When I arrived, I was disappointed to find that dining in wasn’t an option at that moment. It wasn't a huge issue, but if you’re looking to eat inside, you might want to check ahead. Things can change, so it’s a good idea to call beforehand to see if they’ve reopened for indoor seating. Nonetheless, orders can be placed online or at the take-out window. I ordered and paid at the front window, then waited for about 15 minutes for my food. This same area is where all the online orders are picked up. When my lunch was ready, I headed back to my hotel. I ordered the Chirashi bowl, and it was fantastic! It came with a generous serving of fresh fish and pickled vegetables, and there was a satisfying amount of rice that filled the bowl nicely. The wasabi provided was also quite spicy and flavorful. While there are many standard items on the lunch menu, I always prefer the Chirashi bowl. If you’re in the area and looking for good sushi at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Cafe Sushi."

Café Sushi Shoten might have been a dine-in restaurant in the past, as there seems to be an unused upper dining area on the third floor. At the moment, it operates as a...

We've been working on this dinner. Great selection and sushi was great. We had all the fish. I rolled out. We were the last table. Had a decent wait to come in, but it was worth it. Will be back!!!!!! View menu

Love this place! Super friendly service. I got the salmon sushi box for lunch and it might have been the best sushi I’ve ever had. Very fresh and almost buttery soft it was great for the quantity and price. I can’t wait to return!

Great sushi for the price. Went here because my neighbor raved about this place. The ssamjang was an interesting sauce, but some of my friends that like ssamjang did not like it on sushi. I would go again and pick up is easy. Accommodated an octopus allergy. Not the best sushi in Boston but best sushi for the price in Boston while maintaining quality and standards.

This sushi restaurant is truly a masterpiece! Unfortunately, the space is small and quite noisy, making it hard for them to accommodate customers. Thankfully, we had a reservation, so we were seated right away. We ordered sashimi, sushi rolls, and salmon ikura/Abiding, and everything was fresh and delicious. The service was quick and attentive. We would definitely visit again! View menu

This is an amazing Omakase-style sushi restaurant that skillfully enhances the flavors of its sushi with unique toppings. The interesting textures from the toppings truly elevated the overall experience, and the balance between the rice and fish was impeccable. The only aspect that could use improvement is the temperature of the sushi rice, which was a bit colder than I would have preferred.
Stephania
Used to be my favorite place in Cambridge for sushi updating the review though because that was based on their in person experience. They are still to go only as of April 2022, and unfortunately it isn’t the same as it used to be. The quality of their to go orders doesn’t compare to the omakase experience they used to have in person. It certainly isn’t bad, but what you get for the price isn’t near the experience level that the non to go used to be
