"I happened to find myself in this pocket of suburban (read: lowkey rural Massachusetts on a Saturday evening and came across this nice restaurant on Yelp. They were quite busy when we walked in around 7pm (which is always a good sign! but fortunately there was a small table in the corner for us. Overall, I was pretty pleased with our meal! We started with an agedashi tofu to share; portion size decent, not too salty, but the interior of the tofu was a bit bland. For sushi, we ordered the Alaskan maki and the Rainbow maki. Both were decent; fish pretty fresh, and portion sizes were fair. The salmon was quite tasty in particular. We also ordered the beef teriyaki entree, which was fantastic! The beef was super tender and was surprisingly large. Also, other than the soup, salad, and rice, it also came with a large service of spaghetti noodles, which turned out to be a bit too much food for us haha. The soup was average, but the salad was more like a bowl of salad dressing with a few leaves, so best to stay away from this one. Overall, definitely exceeded my expectations good food at a decent price. It's a bit out of the way for me I was just passing through the area so I'm not sure if I'll ever find myself here again, but I do think that it was a pretty good experience and one that I'd recommend :"

The entrance to this place was unexpected, resembling more of an office building than a restaurant. After walking up a flight of stairs, we found the place to be quite crowded on a Sunday night at 7pm. The staff was friendly and seated us promptly. We ordered the sushi boat for two, which arrived quickly and tasted delicious with a nice variety of fish. The presentation on a clean boat was cute. However, the miso ramen soup was disappointing. The sliced chicken in the soup was very dry, and my child didn't even finish it despite usually enjoying miso-based soups. The bathroom is not connected to the restaurant and requires going back to the main lobby to find a shared bathroom, which was tha...
